OUTLOOK

The owners and shippers that use rail tank cars are beginning to commit to investment in new tank car equipment demonstrated by a dramatic increase in sales volumes in the first quarter of 2022 compared to 2021.

Business activity is growing in 2022 based on the national economic recoveries from the pandemic and manufacturing supply chain disruptions that require rail tank car transportation solutions. The Company’s reliable “100% American-Made” reputation and its proven ability to service customer orders even during the most challenging of times have improved Kelso’s reputation.

Industry projections indicate that the rail tank car market is entering a period of modest fleet growth coupled with growth in rail tank car utilization. New tank car demand is expected to grow to 10,000 tank cars in 2022 and 13,450 tank cars in 2023. The anticipated upswing in new build and retrofit activity for ethanol and pressure tank cars combined with a growing number of certified Kelso products are expected to provide new longer-term financial growth opportunities from rail operations.
