The balance of revenues for each year was from newrailcar manufacturing in North America and Europe.This ongoing shift inrevenue mix is principally due to the Company's strategic diversificationefforts completed over the past several years.William A basketball . Furman, president and chief executive officer, said, "Ourresults for the quarter reflect the difficult economic environment in which wecurrently operate.The less cyclical parts of our business, includingRefurbishment & Parts, Leasing & Services, and Marine manufacturing, alongwith our European operations, have helped to dampen the effect of thedownturn.However, the adverse impacts of weak railcar loadings, surplusrailcars, and deferments in capital spending by our customers, along withresultant downward pricing pressures, affected all our business during thequarter wizards schedule Wizards tickets . Dramatic recent reductions in commodity prices, which are expected tohave a positive impact in the long run, adversely affected our Refurbishment &Parts segment during the quarter."Revenue for the Refurbishment & Parts segment during the first quarter was$132.3 million, compared to $103.9 million in the first quarter of 2008.Thissegment consists of railcar repair and refurbishment, wheels services, andrailcar parts from 39 locations in North America.The segment generated 52%of total Company revenues during the period, as revenue increased $28.4million, or 27%, over the same period of last year basketball ticket washington wizard . Most of this growth wasfrom American Allied Railway Equipment Company (two wheel shops and one partslocation) and Roller Bearings, Inc, (one parts location), both of which wereacquired by Greenbrier in the second half of 2008.This increase was offsetsomewhat by lower scrap proceeds, which also contributed to lower segmentmargin this quarter.Gross margin for the Refurbishment & Parts segment was 9.8% of revenues,as compared to 15.3% of revenues in the prior comparable period. The grossmargin decline was primarily due to a less favorable mix of repair andrefurbishment work, and lower scrap proceeds.Recently, scrap prices havebegun to strengthen from levels realized in the first quarter.For the Manufacturing segment, revenue for the first quarter was $102.7million, compared to $159.2 million in the first quarter of 2008. New railcardeliveries during the first quarter were 800 units, down from 1,900 units inthe same period last year, while the current period includes a product mixwith higher per unit sale prices.Manufacturing gross margin for the first quarter was negative 4.1%,compared to positive 5.4% of revenues in the first quarter of 2008.Manufacturing gross margin continued to be adversely affected by lowerproduction rates due to ongoing weak market demand, as well as a lessfavorable product mix, and higher cost materials purchased earlier in theyear.In fiscal 2008, the Company accrued loss reserves for certain railcarsin backlog, where the anticipated cost to produce the railcars exceeded thesales price.These 2008 reserves were adjusted by $0.5 million in the firstquarter, based on current expectations.The Leasing & Services segment includes results from the Company's ownedlease fleet of approximately 9,000 railcars and from fleet management servicesprovided for approximately 137,000 railcars.Revenue for this segment was$21.1 million, compared to $23.3 million in the same quarter last year.Leasing & Services gross margin for the quarter was 43.6% of revenue, comparedto 48.8% of revenue in the same quarter last year.The revenue and grossmargin decrease was principally due to lower lease fleet utilization and lowergains on sale of railcars from the lease fleet.Selling and administrative costs were $16.0 million for the quarter, or6.2% of revenues, versus $20.2 million or 7.0% of revenues for the samequarter last year.The decline is principally due to cost reductioninitiatives, as well as a reversal of $1.3 million in certain reserves.Plan to Improve Liquidity, Optimize Cost Structure and Reduce CapexFurman continued, "Even though visibility remains limited in our markets,particularly in new railcar manufacturing, we anticipate achieving economicbenefits from both external factors and internal measures during the rest ofthe year.Lower input costs and a more favorable product mix should helpimprove overall gross margins in the months ahead.Internal measures includeour decision to further optimize our cost structure, improve our workingcapital utilization and rationalize plant utilization.Given current marketconditions, we believe it is prudent to reduce the quarterly dividend to $.04per share, from the current $.08 per share.Together, these measures shouldhelp stabilize our EBITDA margin and cash flow, reduce debt levels andincrease liquidity.We will continue to manage the Company for cash flow, andlimit discretionary capital expenditures and other costs which can beavoided."Business OutlookFurman added, "We believe fiscal 2009 will be a challenging year for theentire rail industry.New railcar demand industrywide is soft and forecastedto remain so for the balance of calendar 2009 and into 2010.Normal for thisphase of the business cycle, some customers are seeking price concessions,and/or are reevaluating their need for railcars that have already beenordered.Nevertheless, we believe our railcar sales contracts are sound andprovide adequate protection in the event of attempted cancellation orrenegotiation.Similarly, we are seeking concessions from our suppliers."Furman continued, "The initiatives we have taken over the last three yearsto improve our competitive positioning, enhance our integrated business model,and diversify our revenue and earnings base into higher margin businesses, areproving to be the correct actions.The steps we have taken are expected tocontinue to stabilize our overall business through the current economicdownturn, while providing a strong platform for growth when the economyrecovers."Furman concluded, "We continue to be optimistic about the long termfundamentals of the railroad industry and especially our enhanced competitiveposition within the industry.In the near term, however, we will continue toscale our operations to reflect the current economic environment.To thisend, we will control those things we can, which include adjusting andrationalizing production, reducing overhead and general administrative costsand capital expenditures, improving our balance sheet, and managing theCompany for cash.The railroad supply industry has always been cyclical, andwe are well prepared to survive this down cycle.
