Removed

We are currently involved in a product liability action and the unfavorable jury verdict could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and business.

Removed

On October 6, 2020, the Company was named as a co-defendant in a lawsuit, Eileen Williams, Elizabeth Perkins, et al. v. Wabash National Corporation, et al., filed in the Circuit Court of the City of St. Louis, Missouri (the “Product Liability Matter”). The case related to a 2019 motor vehicle accident in which a passenger vehicle with an unobstructed view struck the back of a nearly stopped 2004 Wabash trailer that was operated by co-defendant GDS Express Inc. at the time of the accident. On September 5, 2024, a jury awarded compensatory damages of $12 million and punitive damages of $450 million (the “Award”) against the Company in the Product Liability Matter.

Removed

If we are unable to substantially reduce the Award prior to the entry of a final judgment by the court or otherwise successfully appeal, the Award could materially and adversely affect the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and business.

Reworded

The highly cyclical nature of our business and the impact of economic conditions on markets, customers and demand for our products may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

Reworded

The truck trailer manufacturing industry historically has been, and is expected to be, cyclical and is affected by overall economic conditions.conditions, Customersincluding historicallyvariability replacedriven trailersby insupply cycleschain that run from five to 12 years, depending on service and trailer type.inconsistency. Poor economic conditions can adversely affect demand for new trailers and historically led to an overall aging of trailer fleets beyond a typical replacement cycle. Thethe steps we have taken to diversify our product offerings through the implementation of our strategic plan do not insulate us from cyclicality or changes in demand. Demand for our products is sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including changes related to unemployment, consumer confidence and income, new housing starts, industrial production, inflationary pressures, government regulations such as federal hours-of-service rules, truck safety, limitations on vehicle weight, size, and configuration, and federal emissions standards.

Reworded

An economic downturn and the status of economic conditions periodically has, and could have in the future, an adverse effect on the ability of customers to meet their contractual terms or payment obligations, truck freight, sales volumes and the demand for, and the pricing of, our products, and could have a material adverse effect on our profitability, ability to meet our payment and other obligations under our outstanding debt agreements, business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. In addition, anti-dumping actions we may pursue to counter government subsidies to, and dumping by, foreign competitors that could impact our trailer production and pricing may prove to be ineffective. Our ability to sustain or increase profitability in the future also depends on factors including our overall trailer volumes, gross margins, momentum on our product diversification efforts, collection of amounts owed from customers and management of expenses.

Added

Unfairly traded imports of dry vans and refrigerated trailers could injure or threaten with injury America’s domestic dry van and refrigerated trailer industry, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

Added

In November 2025, the American Trailer Manufacturers Coalition (a coalition of U.S. van trailer producers including Wabash), filed petitions with the U.S. Department of Commerce (the “DOC”) and U.S. International Trade Commission (“ITC”) in response to imports of dumped and subsidized van trailer products entering the United States from China, Canada, and Mexico. Such imports have had, and may continue to have, a material impact on U.S. trailer production, including declines in production, shipments, performance, and employment. The ITC’s investigative process is expected to take approximately one year. On February 6, 2026, the ITC found that there is a reasonable indication that the U.S. dry vans and refrigerated trailers industry is materially injured due to the imports. As a result, the DOC may calculate a range of affirmative preliminary countervailing duties with determinations on anti-dumping to follow. A failure by, or the inability of, U.S. trade officials to implement antidumping and countervailing duties in response to the injurious effects of unfairly traded trailer products could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

Reworded

We have longstanding relationships with a number of large customers. We do not have long-term agreements with all of these customers. Our success is dependent, to a significant extent, upon the continued strength of these relationships and the growth of our core customers. We often are unable to predict the level of demand for our products from these customers, or the timing of their orders. In addition, the same economic conditions that adversely affect us also often adversely affect our customers. Furthermore, we are subject to a concentration of risk as our five largest customers together accounted for approximately 42%35% of our aggregate net sales in 2024. Our largest customer accounted for 15% and 12% of our aggregate net sales in 2024 and 2023, respectively.2025. No individual customer accounted for more than 10% of our aggregate net sales in 2022.2025 and international sales accounted for less than 10% in 2025. The loss of or change to the relationship with a significant customer, post-sale disputes or unexpected changes or delays in product purchases could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

Reworded

We depend on a number of information technologies, some of which are managed by third parties, to integrate departments and functions, enhance the ability to service customers, improve our control environment, and manage our cost reduction initiatives. We also collect and store certain sensitive data in data centers owned by third parties and on information technology networks. The secure maintenance and operation of these data centers and information technology networks is critical for our business operations and strategy. We have put in place a number of systems, processes, and practices designed to protect against the failure of our technologies, as well as the misappropriation, exposure or corruption of the information stored thereon. Maintaining and enhancing these cybersecurity systems, processes and practices may increase our costs. Service disruptions or intentional actions such as intellectual property theft, cyber-attacks, unauthorized access, or malicious software, may lead to such misappropriation, exposure or corruption if our protective measures prove to be inadequate. Any issues involving these critical business applications and infrastructure may adversely impact our ability to manage operations and the customers we serve. Increasing use of artificial intelligence may increase these risks. We could also encounter violations of applicable law or reputational damage from the disclosure of confidential business, supplier, customer, or employee information or the failure to protect the privacy rights of our employees in their personal identifying information. In addition, the disclosure of non-public information could lead to the loss of our intellectual property and diminished competitive advantages. Should any of the foregoing events occur, we may be required to incur significant costs to protect against damage caused by these disruptions or security breaches in the future, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

Added

We may use artificial intelligence in our business and challenges in managing its use could result in reputational harm or liability, and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

Added

We may leverage artificial intelligence, including generative artificial intelligence and machine learning, in our business, including in product development, operations and software programming. Our competitors or other third parties may incorporate artificial intelligence into their businesses more quickly or more successfully than us, which could result in reputational harm and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

Added

In addition, there are significant risks involved in developing and deploying artificial intelligence and there can be no assurance that use of artificial intelligence will be beneficial to our business, including our efficiency or profitability. The rapid evolution of artificial intelligence, including the regulation of artificial intelligence by government or other regulatory agencies, will require significant resources to develop, test and maintain our platforms, offerings, services, and features to implement artificial intelligence ethically and minimize any unintended harmful impacts.

Reworded

The industries in which we participate are highly competitive. We compete with other manufacturers of varying sizes, some of which have substantial financial resources.resources, may be violating anti-dumping laws, or may be benefitting from subsidization in their home countries. Manufacturers compete primarily on product quality, customer relationships, service availability and price. Additionally, we face increasing competition to develop innovative products that result in lower emissions. Manufacturing over-capacity and some of our competitors’ high leverage, along with bankruptcies, economic downturn and financial stresses that affected the industry, have in the past contributed, and may in the future contribute to significant pricing pressures.

Added

We also announced and initiated a plan to idle the facilities in Little Falls, Minnesota and in Goshen, Indiana, which includes job reductions and closures expected to be substantially complete by the end of the second fiscal quarter of 2026. Unforeseen factors could result in expected savings and benefits to be delayed or not realized to the full extent planned (if at all), and our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations may be adversely affected.

Reworded

Our joint venture arrangement to createwholly own Linq Venture Holdings LLC and related agreements areis subject to risks and we may fail to realize all of the expected enhanced revenue, earnings and cash flows.

Added

As of January 1, 2026, we own 100% of Linq Venture Holdings LLC, which we previously owned, in part, as a joint venture. Our ability to realize all of the expected enhanced revenue, earnings, and cash flows from our sole ownership of Linq Venture Holdings LLC, will depend, in substantial part, on our ability to continue to successfully develop, operate, and scale a digital marketplace for the transportation and logistics distribution industry.

Removed

Our ability to realize all of the expected enhanced revenue, earnings, and cash flows from our agreements related to the creation of Linq Venture Holdings LLC, a jointly owned legal entity, will depend, in substantial part, on each party’s ability to successfully develop, operate, and scale a digital marketplace for the transportation and logistics distribution industry. In connection with this joint venture, the parties use an engaged investor operating model to help accelerate the development and scaling, with a goal to migrate the digital marketplace to us and terminate these relationships in the future. While we believe we will ultimately achieve these objectives, it is possible that we will be unable to achieve all of the goals within our anticipated time frame or in the anticipated amounts.

Reworded

If we are not able to successfully complete our digital marketplace strategy and transition of the related business,strategy, the anticipated enhanced revenue, earnings and cash flows resulting from this joint venturesubsidiary may not be realized fully or may take longer to realize than expected. Our participation in this joint venture is also subject to the risks that put/call arrangements and other joint venture exit rights could require us to utilize our cash flow, incur additional indebtedness or issue stock to satisfy the payment obligations in respect of such arrangements. As of December 31, 2024, $11.1 million was outstanding under the Wabash Notes.

Removed

Additional risks include that we do not have sole decision‑making authority and have a minority right to appoint members to the board of the joint venture, which could require us to expend additional resources on resolving impasses or potential disputes. Our future growth may be limited if we are unable to maintain good relationships or maintain aligned goals with our joint venture partner.

Reworded

The U.S. government previously announced, and in some cases implemented, an approach to trade policy that includes renegotiating or potentially terminating certain trade agreements, as well as implementing, increasing or reinstating tariffs on foreign goods and raw materials such as steel and aluminum. These tariffs and potential tariffs have resulted, and may further result, in increased prices for certain imported goods and raw materials.materials and retaliatory tariffs and trade measures from other countries. While we source most of our materials and components domestically, tariffs and potential tariffs have caused, and may continue to cause, price increases and volatility for domestically sourced goods and materials required for our products, particularly aluminum and steel. When the costs of our components and raw materials increase, we may not be able to hedge or pass on these costs to our customers, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

Reworded

As a manufacturer of products widely used in commerce, we are subject to product liability claims and litigation, as well as warranty claims. From time-to-time claims may involve material amounts and novel legal theories, and any insurance we carry may not provide adequate coverage to insulate us from material liabilities for these claims, or we may not be able to maintain this insurance on our preferred terms or at an acceptable cost. Additionally, we are,have been, and may in the future be, party to safety-related litigation that has and could in the future materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Our strategy has been, and continues to be, to mount a vigorous defense against such claims. We cannot predict with certainty the extent to which we will be successful in litigating or otherwise resolving these claims in the future, and we continue to evaluate different strategies related to the safety-related claims filed against us. Even if lawsuits are decided in our favor, or are unfounded, we may incur material expenses and reputational damage. Such matters may also require significant management attention. Unfavorable rulings, judgments or settlement terms or any increases in product recalls or warranty claims could have a material adverse impact on our business and financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Reworded

Our ability to fund our working capital needs and capital expenditures, and our ability to pay dividends on our common stock, is limited by the net cash provided by operations, cash on hand and available borrowings under our Revolving Credit Agreement (as defined below). Declines in net cash provided by operations, increases in working capital requirements necessitated by an increased demand for our products and services, decreases in the availability under the Revolving Credit Agreement or changes in the credit our suppliers provide to us, could rapidly exhaust our liquidity.

Reworded

If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt service obligations, and other cash requirements, we could face substantial liquidity problems and be forced to reduce or delay capital expenditures or to sell assets or operations, seek additional capital or restructure or refinance our indebtedness. We may not be able to affect any such alternative measures, if necessary, on commercially reasonable terms or at all and, even if successful, such alternative actions may not allow us to meet our scheduled debt service obligations. Rising interest rates, along with actions by credit ratings agencies, such as downgrades or negative changes to our ratings outlook, may also reduce our ability to access the capital markets and/or increase our cost of capital either of which could have material adverse effects on our financial condition and cash flows. The indenture governing the Senior Notes and the Revolving Credit Agreement (each, as defined below) restrict (a) our ability to dispose of assets and use the proceeds from any such dispositions and (b) the Company’s and our subsidiaries’ ability to raise debt or certain equity capital to repay our indebtedness when it becomes due. We may not be able to consummate those dispositions or to obtain sufficient proceeds to meet any debt service obligations then due.

Reworded

If we cannot make scheduled payments on our debt, it will be in default and, as a result, holders of our outstanding debt could declare all outstanding principal and interest to be due and payable, the lenders under the Revolving Credit Agreement could terminate their commitments to loan money, our secured lenders could foreclose against the assets securing such borrowings and we could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation.

Reworded

Our Senior Notes indenture and Revolving Credit Agreement contain restrictive covenants that, if breached, could limit our financial and operating flexibility and subject us to other risks.

Reworded

Our Senior Notes indenture and Revolving Credit Agreement include customary covenants limiting our ability to, among other things, pay cash dividends, incur debt or liens, redeem or repurchase stock, enter into transactions with affiliates, merge, dissolve, repay subordinated indebtedness, make investments and dispose of assets. Under our Revolving Credit Agreement, we are required to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.0 to 1.0 as of the end of any period of 12 fiscal months when excess availability under the facility is less than the greater of (a) 10% of the lesser of (i) the total revolving commitments and (ii) the borrowing base (such lesser amount, the “Line Cap”) and (b) $25 million.

Reworded

If availability under the Revolving Credit Agreement is less than the greater of (i) 10% of the Line Cap and (ii) $25 million for three consecutive business days, if there exists an event of default, amounts in any of the Borrowers’ and the Guarantors’ deposit accounts (other than certain excluded accounts) will be transferred daily into a blocked account held by the Agent and applied to reduce the outstanding amounts under the facility.

Reworded

As of December 31, 2024,2025, we believe we are in compliance with the provisions of our Senior Notes indenture and our Revolving Credit Agreement. Our ability to comply with the various terms and conditions in the future may be affected by events beyond our control, including prevailing economic, financial and industry conditions.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) describes the matters that we consider to be important to understanding the results of our operations for the years ending December 31, 20242025 and December 31, 2023.2024. In addition, we address our capital resources and liquidity as of December 31, 2024.2025. Our discussion begins with our assessment of the condition of the North American trailer industry along with a summary of the actions we have taken to strengthen the Company. We then analyze the results of our operations for the last two years, including trends in the overall business and our operating segments, followed by a discussion of our cash flows and liquidity, capital market events, our debt obligations, and our contractual commitments. We conclude with a review of critical accounting judgments and estimates and information on recent accounting pronouncements that we adopted during the year, if any, as well as those not yet adopted that may have ana material impact on our financial accounting practices, if any.

Throughout 2024,2025, we have continued to create more points of connection with our customers with greater focus on Parts & Services as well as innovative offerings like Trailers as a Service (TaaS)℠ that allow us to add recurring, longer-term value beyond an initial transaction. These advancements have not only deepened our customer engagement but have also enriched our collaborations with supplier and technology partners. We have solidified specific partnerships that are enabling us to grow our recurring revenue within the transportation, logistics and infrastructure ecosystem. Our Wabash Parts joint venture rapidly established significant distribution capabilities that allow our dealer network efficient access to our comprehensive portfolio of aftermarket parts. In 2025, Wabash exercised its option to acquire its joint venture partner’s 51% membership interest in Linq Venture Holdings, LLC, a transaction that makes it a wholly-owned subsidiary. Linq Venture Holdings, LLC continues to play a crucial role in advancing our digital capabilities, which aim to revolutionize the online experience for our dealers, traditional and non-traditional suppliers of both parts and services and a broad set of customers spanning across the vast transportation and logistics landscape. Additionally, our 2023 investment to add 20% more dry van manufacturing capacity at our Lafayette facility has reinforced our go-to-market strategy with a portfolio-based selling approach that leverages the breadth of our products.

Throughout 2024,2025, we demonstrated our commitment to being responsible stewards of the business by maintaining a balanced approach to capital allocation. The resilience of our operations and our strong financial position provided us the opportunity to take specific actions as part of our ongoing commitment to prudently manage the overall financial risks of the Company, returning capital to our shareholders, and deleveragingoptimizing our balancecapital sheet.structure for long-term growth. These actions included repurchasing $64.4$30.9 million (inclusive of excise tax) of common stock under the share repurchase program approved by our Board of Directors and paying dividends of $14.8$13.8 million. In addition, as further described in the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section below, in September 2022 we amended our Revolving Credit Agreement. The amendment increased the total credit facility to $350 million, extended the maturity to September 2027, which is the nearest maturity date of our long-term debt, and as of December 31, 2024,2025, there werewas no$45.0 amountsmillion outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement.

We demonstrate this core value by working on innovations to protect the people who operate our equipment and partnering with others to promote higher standards in transportation and manufacturing. We continually focus on reducing the severity and frequency of workplace injuries to create a safe environment for our employees and minimize workers compensation costs. We believe that our improved environmental, health, and safety management translates into higher labor productivity and lower costs as a result of less time away from work and improved system management.

Potential or reported safety concerns are routed to a cross-functional Product Safety Team that includes members from Quality, Warranty, Engineering, Sales and Strategic Sourcing. The Product Safety Team investigates submissions and serves as an initial filter of potential safety issues. Issues that need to be escalated are sent to the Product Safety Council, which consists of executive team members who will coach and give final direction to the Product Safety Team. We monitor product quality on a continual basis through a number of means for both internal and external performance as follows:

▪External performance. We actively track our warranty claims and costs to identify and drive improvement opportunities in quality and reliability for our customers. Early life-cyclelifecycle warranty claims for our van trailers are trended for performance monitoring. Using a unit-based warranty reporting process to track performance and document failure rates, early life-cyclelifecycle warranty units per 100 van trailers shipped averaged approximately 2.5, 2.8, 2.6, and 1.82.6 units in 2024,2025, 20232024 and 2022,2023, respectively. Continued low claim rates have been driven by our successful execution of continuous improvement programs centered on process variation reduction and responding to the input from our customers. We expect that these activities will continue to allow us to manage our total warranty cost profile.

We demonstrate our commitment to sustainability by maintaining ISO 14001 registration of our Environmental Management System at our Lafayette, Indiana; Cadiz, Kentucky; San José Iturbide, Mexico; and Harrison, Arkansas locations. In 2005, our Lafayette, Indiana facility was one of the first trailer manufacturing operations in the world to be ISO 14001 registered. Being ISO 14001 registered requires us to demonstrate quantifiable and third-party verified environmental improvements. In addition, our San José Iturbide, Mexico facility was recognized with Clean Industry certification from Mexico’s Federal Agency of Environmental Protection for adhering to environmental care in its manufacturing processes.

Trucking in the U.S., according to the American Trucking Association (“ATA”), was estimated to be a $906 billion industry in 2024, representing a decrease of approximately 4% from ATA’s 2023 estimate. Trailer demand is a direct function of the amount of freight to be transported. To monitor the state of the industry, we evaluate a number of indicators related to trailer manufacturing and the transportation industry. Recent trends we have observed include the following:

These estimates are generally more consistent with historical trailer industry production levels, and in some years higher than historical production levels. However, overall economic uncertainty and softeningcontinued soft demand in the industry for certain of our products could continue to impact these estimates. This uncertainty and softeningsoftness are evident in the ACT and FTR forecasts, particularly for 20252026 production. However, we believe that our strategic plan and actions taken over the last several years have positioned us to remain well-suited to adapt to changes in the industry and demand environment due to our strong balance sheet, liquidity profile, and diversification.

Our liquidity position, defined as cash on hand and available borrowing capacity on the Revolving Credit Facility, amounted to $421.9 million as of December 31, 2024 and $516.1 million as of December 31, 2023, a decrease of 18%. Total debt obligations amounted to $400.0 million as of December 31, 2024. The decrease in liquidity from the prior year is primarily attributable to a lower cash balance at December 31, 2024, due to a reduction in cash provided by operating activities in 2024 versus 2023 For 20252026 and forward, we expect to continue our commitment to fund our working capital requirements and capital expenditures from net cash provided by operations or available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Agreement (as needed). Along with these investments, we will also maintain our assets to capitalize on any economic and/or industry upswings, while also responsibly returning capital to our shareholders. We will continue to move rapidly to adjust to the current environment to preserve the strength of our balance sheet, while prioritizing the safety of our employees and ensuring the liquidity and financial well-being of the Company.

(1) Future interest payments on variable rate long-term debt (if any) are estimated based on the rate in effect as of December 31, 2024,2025, and only include interest payments (not unused line fees). However, as of December 31, 2024, there was no variable rate debt (Revolving Credit Agreement) outstanding.

Reworded

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement bear interest at a variable rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) or a base rate determined by the lender’s prime rate plus an applicable margin, as defined in the agreement. Any outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate, at our election, equal to (i) adjusted term SOFR plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 1.75% or (ii) a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.25% to 0.75%, in each case depending upon the monthly average excess availability under the Revolving Credit Agreement. We are required to pay a monthly unused line fee equal to 0.20% times the average daily unused availability along with other customary fees and expenses of our agent and lenders. During the year ended December 31, 2024,2025, we had payments of principal of $0.9$82.4 million and borrowings of principal of $0.9$127.4 million under the Revolving Credit Agreement, and as of December 31, 2024,2025, there werewas no$45.0 amountsmillion outstanding.

You should carefully consider the risks described below and in ourthis AnnualQuarterly Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 including those under the heading “Risk Factors” appearing in Item 1A of Part I of the Form 10-K10-Q and other information contained in this Quarterly Report before investing in our securities. Realization of any of these risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows, and results of operations.

Risks Related to Our Business, Strategy and Operations

Added

The cyclical nature of our business and the impact of economic conditions on markets, customers and demand for our products may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

Added

The truck trailer manufacturing industry historically has been, and is expected to be, cyclical and is affected by overall economic conditions, including variability driven by supply chain inconsistency. Poor economic conditions can adversely affect demand for new trailers and the steps we have taken to diversify our product offerings through the implementation of our strategic plan do not insulate us from cyclicality or changes in demand. Demand for our products is sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including changes related to unemployment, consumer confidence and income, new housing starts, industrial production, inflationary pressures, government regulations such as federal hours-of-service rules, truck safety, limitations on vehicle weight, size, and configuration, and federal emissions standards.

Added

We also continue to be reliant on the credit, housing, energy and construction-related markets in the U.S. The same general economic concerns faced by us are also faced by our customers. We believe that some of our customers are highly leveraged and have limited access to capital, and their continued existence may be reliant on liquidity from global credit markets and other sources of external financing. Lack of liquidity by our customers could impact our ability to collect amounts owed to us.

Added

An economic downturn and the status of economic conditions periodically has, and could have in the future, an adverse effect on the ability of customers to meet their contractual terms or payment obligations, truck freight, sales volumes and the demand for, and the pricing of, our products, and could have a material adverse effect on our profitability, ability to meet our payment and other obligations under our outstanding debt agreements, business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. In addition, anti-dumping actions we may pursue to counter government subsidies to, and dumping by, foreign competitors that could impact our trailer production and pricing may prove to be ineffective. Our ability to sustain or increase profitability in the future also depends on factors including our overall trailer volumes, gross margins, momentum on our product diversification efforts, collection of amounts owed from customers and management of expenses.

Added

Unfairly traded imports of dry vans and refrigerated trailers could injure or threaten with injury America’s domestic dry van and refrigerated trailer industry, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

Added

In November 2025, the American Trailer Manufacturers Coalition (a coalition of U.S. van trailer producers including Wabash), filed petitions with the U.S. Department of Commerce (the “DOC”) and U.S. International Trade Commission (“ITC”) in response to imports of dumped and subsidized van trailer products entering the United States from China, Canada, and Mexico. Such imports have had, and may continue to have, a material impact on U.S. trailer production, including declines in production, shipments, performance, and employment. On February 6, 2026, the ITC found that there is a reasonable indication that the U.S. dry vans and refrigerated trailers industry is materially injured due to the imports. As a result, the DOC has calculated a range of affirmative preliminary countervailing duties and affirmative preliminary antidumping duties, with additional determinations on anti-dumping to follow. The ITC is expected to make a final determination during the third quarter of 2026 on whether the U.S. dry vans and refrigerated trailers industry is materially injured due to the imports. A failure by, or the inability of, U.S. trade officials to implement or enforce antidumping and countervailing duties in response to the injurious effects of unfairly traded trailer products could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

Added

A change in our customer relationships or in the financial condition of our customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

Added

We have longstanding relationships with a number of large customers. We do not have long-term agreements with all of these customers. Our success is dependent, to a significant extent, upon the continued strength of these relationships and the growth of our core customers. We often are unable to predict the level of demand for our products from these customers, or the timing of their orders. In addition, the same economic conditions that adversely affect us also often adversely affect our customers. Furthermore, we are subject to a concentration of risk as our five largest customers together accounted for approximately 35% of our aggregate net sales in 2025. No individual customer accounted for more than 10% of our aggregate net sales in 2025 and international sales accounted for less than 10% in 2025. The loss of or change to the relationship with a significant customer, post-sale disputes or unexpected changes or delays in product purchases could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

Added

Our backlog may not be indicative of the level of our future revenues.

Added

Our backlog represents future production for which we have written orders from our customers that have defined delivery timeframes. Orders that comprise our backlog may be subject to changes in quantities, delivery, specifications and terms, or cancellation. Our reported backlog may not be converted to revenue in any particular period and actual revenue from such orders may not equal our backlog. It is also possible that our methodology for determining backlog may not be comparable to that of our competitors. Therefore, our backlog may not be fully indicative of the level of our future revenues.

Added

We rely significantly on information technology to support our operations and if we are unable to protect against service interruptions or security breaches, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

Added

We depend on a number of information technologies, some of which are managed by third parties, to integrate departments and functions, enhance the ability to service customers, improve our control environment, and manage our cost reduction initiatives. We also collect and store certain sensitive data in data centers owned by third parties and on information technology networks. The secure maintenance and operation of these data centers and information technology networks is critical for our business operations and strategy. We have put in place a number of systems, processes, and practices designed to protect against the failure of our technologies, as well as the misappropriation, exposure or corruption of the information stored thereon. Maintaining and enhancing these cybersecurity systems, processes and practices may increase our costs. Service disruptions or intentional actions such as intellectual property theft, cyber-attacks, unauthorized access, or malicious software, may lead to such misappropriation, exposure or corruption if our protective measures prove to be inadequate. Any issues involving these critical business applications and infrastructure may adversely impact our ability to manage operations and the customers we serve. Increasing use of artificial intelligence may increase these risks. We could also encounter violations of applicable law or reputational damage from the disclosure of confidential business, supplier, customer, or employee information or the failure to protect privacy rights in personal identifying information. In addition, the disclosure of non-public information could lead to the loss of our intellectual property and diminished competitive advantages. Should any of the foregoing events occur, we may be required to incur significant costs to protect against damage caused by these disruptions or security breaches in the future, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

Added

We may use artificial intelligence in our business and challenges in managing its use could result in reputational harm or liability, and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

Added

We may leverage artificial intelligence, including generative artificial intelligence and machine learning, in our business, including in product development, operations and software programming. Our competitors or other third parties may incorporate artificial intelligence into their businesses more quickly or more successfully than us, which could result in reputational harm and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

Added

In addition, there are significant risks involved in developing and deploying artificial intelligence and there can be no assurance that use of artificial intelligence will be beneficial to our business, including our efficiency or profitability. The rapid evolution of artificial intelligence, including the regulation of artificial intelligence by government or other regulatory agencies, will require significant resources to develop, test and maintain our platforms, offerings, services, and features to implement artificial intelligence ethically and minimize any unintended harmful impacts.

Added

Inflation could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

Added

Inflation rates in the markets in which we operate have seen increases in recent years and may continue to rise. Inflation and elevated price levels have led us to experience higher costs of labor, materials and transportation. Our suppliers have raised their prices and may continue to raise prices, and in the competitive markets in which we operate, we may not be able to make corresponding price increases to preserve our gross margins and profitability. Deteriorating economic and political conditions and uncertainty, such as increased unemployment, changes in capital spending, declines in consumer confidence, or economic slowdowns or recessions, could cause a decrease in demand for our products. If inflation rates continue to rise or remain elevated for a sustained period of time, they could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows, and results of operations.

Added

We have a limited number of suppliers of raw materials and components; supply chain disruptions, increases in the price of raw materials and components or the inability to obtain raw materials and components could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

Added

We currently rely on a limited number of suppliers for raw materials and key components in the manufacturing of our products, such as tires, landing gear, axles, suspensions, specialty steel coil, stainless steel, plastic, aluminum and lumber. There have been, and may continue to be, shortages of supplies of raw materials or components (including foam insulation, suspension components and wiring), or our suppliers may place us on allocation, which has and would continue to have an adverse impact on our ability to meet product demand.

Added

Global supply chain disruptions, shortages and allocations of raw materials and components resulted and may in the future result in an increased backlog of orders, inefficient operations and inventory build-up, all of which can negatively affect our working capital position, increase costs that are passed on to customers and delay our ability to fulfill customer orders. Such disruptions have been compounded with logistical factors that include reduced freight, railway, trucking and air capacity and delays, shortages of shipping containers and chassis, trade conflicts and labor availability constraints. Our supply chain may also continue to be impacted by damaging weather or acts of nature (including acts of nature caused by climate change), capacity constraints, effects of economic downturn, cybersecurity threats, geopolitical uncertainties and other related interferences.

Added

Supply chain disruptions and the loss of any of our suppliers or their inability to meet our price, quality, quantity and delivery requirements could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. In addition, price volatility and changes in the availability of commodities we purchase, which have fluctuated significantly in the past, impact the pricing of raw materials and production costs and could have negative impacts on our operating margins.

Added

The inability to attract and retain key personnel or a sufficient workforce could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

Added

Our ability to operate our business and implement our strategies depends, in part, on the efforts of our executive officers and other key associates. Tight labor markets may negatively impact our ability to retain a sufficient workforce of qualified personnel. Labor shortages, increased competition in the hiring market, high employee turnover rates and resulting impacts of increased recruitment costs, wages, training and related inefficiencies, may disrupt our ability to meet consumer demands and expectations. Our future success depends, in large part, on our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel, including manufacturing personnel, sales professionals and engineers. The unexpected loss of services of any of our key personnel or the failure to attract or retain other qualified personnel, including personnel with engineering and technical expertise in the industry, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

Added

We may not be able to execute on our long-term strategic plan and growth initiatives, or meet our long-term financial goals, and this may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

Added

Our long-term strategic plan is intended to generate long-term value for our shareholders while delivering profitable growth throughout our business segments. The long-term financial goals that we expect to achieve as a result of our long-term strategic plan and organic growth initiatives are based on certain assumptions, which may be incorrect. Organically, our focus is on profitably growing and diversifying our operations by leveraging our existing assets, capabilities, and technology into higher margin products and markets and thereby providing value-added customer solutions, including continuing to expand and develop our parts & services operating segment. We cannot provide any assurance that we will fully execute on our strategic plan or growth initiatives, which are subject to a variety of risks including our ability to: diversify the product offerings of our non-trailer businesses, including continuing to expand and develop our parts & services offerings; leverage acquired businesses and assets to grow sales with our existing products; design, develop, and commercialize new products to meet our customers’ needs; increase the pricing of our products and services to offset cost increases and expand gross margins; scale our manufacturing capacity and resources to efficiently meet customer demand; and execute potential future acquisitions, mergers, joint ventures, and other business development opportunities. If we are unable to successfully execute on our strategic plan, we may experience increased competition, material adverse financial consequences and decreases in the value of our common stock. Additionally, our management’s attention to the strategic plan’s implementation, which includes our diversification efforts, may distract them from implementing our core business which may also have material adverse financial consequences.

Added

Volatility in the supply of vehicle chassis and other vehicle components could have a material adverse effect on our truck body product line.

Added

With the exception of some specialty vehicle products, we generally do not purchase vehicle chassis for our inventory and accept shipments of vehicle chassis owned by dealers or end-users for the purpose of installing and/or manufacturing our specialized truck bodies on such chassis. Historically, General Motors Company (“GM”), Freightliner Custom Chassis (“Freightliner”), International Truck (“International”), and Ford Motor Company (“Ford”) have been the primary chassis suppliers. If a major supplier is disrupted, we would attempt to use another major supplier, but there can be no assurance that this attempt would be successful. Nevertheless, if chassis supply is disrupted, there could be unforeseen consequences that may have a material adverse effect on our truck body operations.

Added

We also face risks relative to finance and storage charges for maintaining an excess chassis supply from GM, Freightliner, International, and Ford. Under the converter chassis pool agreements, if a chassis is not delivered to a customer within a specified time frame, we must pay finance or storage charges on such chassis.

Added

Significant competition in the industries in which we operate may result in our competitors offering new or better products and services or lower prices, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

Added

The industries in which we participate are highly competitive. We compete with other manufacturers of varying sizes, some of which have substantial financial resources, may be violating anti-dumping laws, or may be benefitting from subsidization in their home countries. Manufacturers compete primarily on product quality, customer relationships, service availability and price. Additionally, we face increasing competition to develop innovative products that result in lower emissions. Manufacturing over-capacity and some of our competitors’ high leverage, along with bankruptcies, economic downturn and financial stresses that affected the industry, have in the past contributed, and may in the future contribute to significant pricing pressures.

Added

If we are unable to successfully compete with other manufacturers, we could lose customers and our revenues may decline. In addition, competitive pressures in the industry may affect the market prices of our new and used equipment, which, in turn, may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

Added

Our truck body product lines compete in the highly competitive specialized vehicle industry which may impact our financial results.

Added

The competitive nature of the specialized vehicle industry creates a number of challenges for our truck body products. Important factors include product pricing, product quality, lead times, geographic proximity to customers, and product customization abilities. Specialized vehicles are produced by a number of smaller, regional companies which create product pricing pressures that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

Added

Our technology and products may not achieve market acceptance or competing products could gain market share, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

Added

Our customers primarily operate in the truck transportation industry, which is a very fluid industry requiring companies to make frequent changes to maximize their operations and profits. While we target product development to expand our offerings and meet customer needs, there is no assurance that our product development efforts will be embraced or that we will meet our strategic goals, including sales projections. We may incur additional product development costs, including expenses related to engineering or design issues or recall.

Added

A number of our competitors followed our leadership in the development and use of composite sidewalls that brought them into direct competition with our DuraPlate® products. Our product development is focused on maintaining our leadership for these products and others, but competitive pressures may erode our market share or margins and intellectual property rights may not prevent competitors from developing products similar to ours. We hold U.S. and foreign utility and design patents and patent applications on various components and techniques utilized in our manufacturing of transportation equipment and products with expiration dates ranging from 2025 to 2045. We continue to take steps to protect our proprietary rights in our products and production processes. However, the steps we have taken may not be sufficient or may not be enforced by a court of law. If we are unable to protect our intellectual properties, other parties may attempt to copy or otherwise obtain or use our products or technology. If competitors are able to use our technology, our ability to effectively compete could be harmed and this could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. In addition, litigation related to intellectual property could result in substantial costs and efforts which may not result in a successful outcome.

Added

Disruption of our manufacturing operations could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

Added

We manufacture our van trailer products at two facilities in Lafayette, Indiana, a flatbed trailer facility in Cadiz, Kentucky, a hardwood floor facility in Harrison, Arkansas, three liquid-transportation systems facilities in New Lisbon, Wisconsin; Fond du Lac, Wisconsin; and Queretaro, Mexico, two engineered products facilities in New Lisbon, Wisconsin; and Elroy, Wisconsin, four truck body facilities in Cleburne, Texas; Griffin, Georgia; Jonestown, Pennsylvania; and Moreno Valley, California and produce composite products in Lafayette, Indiana. Our production at these facilities could be subject to disruptions which may include work stoppages, severe weather, natural disaster, public health crises, including the spread of a contagious disease, pandemics or epidemics, quarantines or shutdowns related to public health crises, threats to physical security or information security systems or other catastrophic events beyond our control. The effects of climate change, including increased severity and frequency of extreme weather events, natural disasters, long term changes in temperature levels and water availability, may exacerbate these risks, and could increase the costs of insuring company assets. We may also reconfigure or relocate aspects of our operations. An unexpected or costly disruption in our production at any of these facilities for any length of time could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. Similarly, if one or more of our customers experiences an unexpected disruption, that customer may reduce or halt purchases of our products, which could result in reduced production or other cost-reduction initiatives at our related manufacturing facilities.

Added

We also completed a previously announced and initiated a plan to idle facilities in Little Falls, Minnesota and in Goshen, Indiana, which included job reductions and closures. Unforeseen factors could result in expected savings and benefits to be delayed or not realized to the full extent planned (if at all), and our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations may be adversely affected.

Added

Our failure to effectively manage, safeguard, design, manufacture, service, repair, and maintain our leased (or subleased) trailers could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

Added

Our Trailers as a Service (TaaS)SM initiative includes leased and subleased trailers. These trailers and our current and future TaaS initiative trailers have long economic lives and managing our evolving trailer fleet is a critical element to our leasing business.

Added

We face significant risks and challenges to our business and prospects as a recent entrant into the leasing and subleasing industry, including, among other things, our ability to design and build long-lived products that are aligned with freight leasing customer needs and changes in legislation and regulations in the various markets in which we operate, and cost-effectively maintain and repair our fleet to maximize our products’ economic life and the proceeds we receive from product sales. As the needs of our freight leasing customers and the scope of our customers change, we may incur costs to relocate or retrofit our assets to better meet demand shifts. If the distribution of our assets is not aligned with regional demand or there is excess leased equipment in the fleet industry, we may not be able to take advantage of sales and leasing opportunities in certain regions, despite excess inventory in other regions.

Added

If we do not appropriately manage our product fleet’s design, manufacture, repair and maintenance, or if we are unexpectedly unable to complete such repair or maintenance or suffer unexpected equipment losses due to theft or obsolescence, we may be required to incur impairment charges for equipment that is beyond economic repair or incur significant capital expenditures to build new equipment to serve demand. These failures may also result in personal injury or property damage claims and termination of leases or contracts by customers. Costs of contract performance, potential litigation and profits lost from termination could materially adversely affect our future operating results and cash flows. If a significant number of leased units are returned in a short period of time, a large supply of units would need to be remarketed. If we are not able to successfully manage our lease assets or remarket a large influx of units returning from leases, our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.

Added

Our arrangement to wholly own Linq Venture Holdings LLC is subject to risks and we may fail to realize all of the expected enhanced revenue, earnings and cash flows.

Added

As of January 1, 2026, we own 100% of Linq Venture Holdings LLC, which we previously owned, in part, as a joint venture. Our ability to realize all of the expected enhanced revenue, earnings, and cash flows from our sole ownership of Linq Venture Holdings LLC, will depend, in substantial part, on our ability to continue to successfully develop, operate, and scale a digital marketplace for the transportation and logistics distribution industry.

Added

If we are not able to successfully complete our digital marketplace strategy, the anticipated enhanced revenue, earnings and cash flows resulting from this subsidiary may not be realized fully or may take longer to realize than expected.

Added

We may fail to realize all of the expected enhanced revenue, earnings and cash flow from our agreement to create Wabash Parts LLC, a jointly owned legal entity.

Added

Our ability to realize all of the expected enhanced revenue, earnings, and cash flow from our 2022 agreement with a partner to create Wabash Parts LLC, a jointly owned legal entity, will depend, in substantial part, on each party’s ability to successfully operate a parts and services distribution platform and achieve our projected distribution goals. While we believe we will ultimately achieve these objectives, it is possible that we will be unable to achieve all of the goals within our anticipated time frame or in the anticipated amounts. If we are not able to successfully complete our parts and services distribution strategy, the anticipated enhanced revenue, earnings and cash flows resulting from this joint venture may not be realized fully or may take longer to realize than expected.

Added

As part of the joint venture, we have the obligation to absorb the benefits and losses of Wabash Parts LLC that could potentially be significant to the entity. We are also required to provide funding to the entity if needed. These potential losses and funding requirements could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

Added

We are subject to extensive governmental laws and regulations, and our costs related to compliance with, or our failure to comply with, existing or future laws and regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

Added

The length, height, width, maximum weight capacity and other specifications of truck and tank trailers are regulated by individual states. The federal government also regulates certain trailer safety features, such as lamps, reflective devices, tires, air-brake systems and rear-impact guards. In addition, most tank trailers we manufacture have specific federal regulations and restrictions that dictate tank design, material type and thickness. Our products are also subject to various state and federal environmental laws and regulations specifically including those related to greenhouse gas emissions and including regulations with respect to per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and other hazardous or toxic substances. Changes or anticipation of changes in these regulations can have a material impact on our financial results, as our customers may defer purchasing decisions and we may have to re-engineer products. We are subject to various environmental laws and regulations dealing with the transportation, storage, presence, use, disposal and handling of hazardous materials, storm water discharge and underground fuel storage tanks, and we may be subject to liability associated with operations of prior owners of acquired property. In addition, we are subject to laws and regulations relating to our employees and labor-related practices.

Added

If we are found to be in violation of applicable laws or regulations in the future, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. Our costs of complying with these or any other current or future regulations may be material. Such regulations include technical safety standards that could delay product development or require manufacturer recall campaigns to remedy certain defects. In addition, if we fail to comply with existing or future laws and regulations, we may be subject to governmental or judicial fines or sanctions.

Added

Changes to U.S. or foreign tax laws could affect our effective tax rate and our future profitability.

Added

Tax rates in various jurisdictions may be subject to significant change. Changes in tax legislation could significantly impact our overall profitability, the provisions for income taxes, the amount of taxes payable, and our deferred tax asset and liability balances.

Added

Changes in U.S. trade policy, including the imposition of tariffs and the resulting consequences, may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

Added

The U.S. government previously announced, and in some cases implemented, an approach to trade policy that includes renegotiating or potentially terminating certain trade agreements, as well as implementing, increasing or reinstating tariffs on foreign goods and raw materials such as steel and aluminum. These tariffs and potential tariffs have resulted, and may further result, in increased prices for certain imported goods and raw materials and retaliatory tariffs and trade measures from other countries. While we source most of our materials and components domestically, tariffs and potential tariffs have caused, and may continue to cause, price increases and volatility for domestically sourced goods and materials required for our products, particularly aluminum and steel. When the costs of our components and raw materials increase, we may not be able to hedge or pass on these costs to our customers, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

Added

Product liability and other legal claims could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

Added

As a manufacturer of products widely used in commerce, we are subject to product liability claims and litigation, as well as warranty claims. From time-to-time claims may involve material amounts and novel legal theories, and any insurance we carry may not provide adequate coverage to insulate us from material liabilities for these claims, or we may not be able to maintain this insurance on our preferred terms or at an acceptable cost. Additionally, we have been, and may in the future be, party to safety-related litigation that has and could in the future materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Our strategy has been, and continues to be, to mount a vigorous defense against such claims. We cannot predict with certainty the extent to which we will be successful in litigating or otherwise resolving these claims in the future, and we continue to evaluate different strategies related to the safety-related claims filed against us. Even if lawsuits are decided in our favor, or are unfounded, we may incur material expenses and reputational damage. Such matters may also require significant management attention. Unfavorable rulings, judgments or settlement terms or any increases in product recalls or warranty claims could have a material adverse impact on our business and financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Our long-term objective is to generate operating cash flows sufficient to support the growth within our businesses and increase shareholder value. This objective will be achieved through a balanced capital allocation strategy of sustaining strong liquidity, maintaining healthy leverage ratios, investing in the business both organically and strategically, and returning capital to our shareholders. Our Board of Directors designated a Finance Committee to assist the Board in overseeing the Company’s capital structure, financing, investment, and other financial matters of importance.
