As the company reported it, from the “Business Segments - Schedule of Sales by Geographical Location (Details)” note of its latest 10-K. Every figure here has been checked against the total revenue the same filing reported. Regions are the filer's own and are not mapped onto a standard list — one company's “Americas” and another's “United States” are different areas, and making them look comparable would mean making at least one of them wrong. Slices under 1% are folded into “Other”.

Revenue by segment

  • Rail, Technologies, and Services
  • Infrastructure Solutions
Revenue by segment, 2 categories over 2 years. The same figures are in the table below. FY2025 Rail, Technologies, and Services, FY2025: 305.7M (56.6%) 57% Rail, Technologies, and Services Infrastructure Solutions, FY2025: 234.3M (43.4%) 43% Infrastructure Solutions FY2024 Rail, Technologies, and Services, FY2024: 326.9M (61.6%) 62% Infrastructure Solutions, FY2024: 203.9M (38.4%) 38%
Segment FY2025FY2024
Rail, Technologies, and Services $305.7M $326.9M
Infrastructure Solutions $234.3M $203.9M

As the company reported it, from the “Business Segments - Schedule of Sales by Major Product Line (Details)” note of its latest 10-K. Every figure here has been checked against the total revenue the same filing reported. Segments are the filer's own reporting structure, which is a decision about how it runs itself rather than a standard taxonomy: two companies in the same industry routinely divide themselves along different lines, so these are worth reading down a single company rather than across two. Slices under 1% are folded into “Other”.
