Such forward-looking statements may be included in, but not limited to, press releases, oral statements made with the approval of an authorized executive officer or in various filings made by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

THE GREENBRIER COMPANIES, INC.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1 – Interim Financial Statements
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of The Greenbrier Companies, Inc. and its subsidiaries (Greenbrier or the Company) as of February 29, 2016, for the three and six months ended February 29, 2016 and for the three and six months ended February 28, 2015 have been prepared without audit and reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods indicated. The results of operations for the three and six months ended February 29, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year ending August 31, 2016.
Certain notes and other information have been condensed or omitted from the interim financial statements presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company's 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Management Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires judgment on the part of management to arrive at estimates and assumptions on matters that are inherently uncertain. These estimates may affect the amount of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities within the financial statements. Estimates and assumptions are periodically evaluated and may be adjusted in future periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Prospective Accounting Changes – In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) jointly issued a converged standard on the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. The issued guidance converges the criteria for reporting revenue, and requires disclosures sufficient to describe the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from these contracts. Companies can transition to the standard either retrospectively or as a cumulative effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The FASB issued a one year deferral and the new standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company plans to adopt this guidance beginning September 1, 2018. The Company is evaluating the impact of this standard as well as its method of adoption on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (ASU 2015-03). The FASB issued this update to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to present the debt issuance costs as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the debt liability rather than showing the debt issuance costs as an asset. The guidance is limited to the presentation of debt issuance costs and does not impact its recognition and measurement. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted, and is required to be applied on a retrospective basis. The Company plans to adopt ASU 2015-03 beginning September 1, 2016. As the adoption of this new accounting standard will only amend presentation and disclosure requirements, the adoption will not affect the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-02, Leases (ASU 2016-02). The new guidance supersedes existing guidance on accounting for leases in Topic 840 and is intended to increase the transparency and comparability of accounting for lease transactions. ASU 2016-02 requires most leases to be recognized on the balance sheet. Lessees will need to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for virtually all leases. The liability will be equal to the present value of lease payments. The asset will be based on the liability, subject to adjustment, such as for initial direct costs. For income statement purposes, the FASB retained a dual model, requiring leases to be classified as either operating or finance. Lessor accounting remains similar to the current model, but updated to align with certain changes to the lessee model and the new revenue recognition standard. The ASU will require both quantitative and qualitative disclosures regarding key information about leasing arrangements. The standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The new standard must be adopted using a
10

modified retrospective transition, and provides for certain practical expedients. Transition will require application of the new guidance at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. The Company plans to adopt this guidance beginning September 1, 2019. The Company is evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
Share Repurchase Program – Since October 2013, the Board of Directors has authorized the Company to repurchase in aggregate up to $225 million of the Company's common stock. The program may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice. Under the share repurchase program, shares of common stock may be purchased on the open market or through privately negotiated transactions from time-to-time. The timing and amount of purchases will be based upon market conditions, securities law limitations and other factors. The share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number of shares in any period.
During the three and six months ended February 29, 2016, the Company purchased a total of 533,061 and 1,054,687 shares for approximately $13.3 million and $32.4 million, respectively. As of February 29, 2016 the Company had cumulatively repurchased 3,206,226 shares for approximately $137.0 million and had $88.0 million available under the share repurchase program with an expiration date of January 1, 2018.

As of February 29, 2016, lines of credit totaling $15.3 million secured by certain of the Company's European assets, with various variable rates that range from Warsaw Interbank Offered Rate (WIBOR) plus 1.2% to WIBOR plus 1.3%, were available for working capital needs of the European manufacturing operation. European credit facilities are continually being renewed. Currently these European credit facilities have maturities that range from February 2017 through June 2017.
As of February 29, 2016, the Company's Mexican joint venture has three lines of credit totaling $60.0 million. The first line of credit provides up to $10.0 million and is secured by certain of the joint venture's accounts receivable and inventory. Advances under this facility bear interest at LIBOR plus 2.5%. The Mexican joint venture will be able to draw amounts available under this facility through June 2016. The second line of credit provides up to $30.0 million and is fully guaranteed by the Company and its joint venture partner. Advances under this facility bear interest at LIBOR plus 2.0%. The Mexican joint venture will be able to draw against this facility through January 2019. The third line of credit provides up to $20.0 million, of which the Company and its joint venture partner have each guaranteed 50%. Advances under this facility bear interest at LIBOR plus 2.0%.

| (1) | Restricted stock grants and restricted stock units, including some grants subject to certain performance criteria, are included in weighted average basic common shares outstanding when the Company is in a net earnings position. |
| (2) | The dilutive effect of the 2018 Convertible notes was included for the three and six months ended February 29, 2016 and the three and six months ended February 28, 2015 as they were considered dilutive under the "if converted" method as further discussed below. |
| (3) | The dilutive effect of the 2026 Convertible notes was excluded for the three and six months ended February 29, 2016 as the average stock price was less than the conversion price of $47.33 and therefore was considered anti-dilutive. The effect of the 2026 Convertible notes was included for the three and six months ended February 28, 2015 as the average stock price was greater than the applicable conversion price, as further described below. |
| (4) | Restricted stock units that are subject to performance criteria, for which actual levels of performance above target have been achieved, are included in weighted average diluted common shares outstanding when the Company is in a net earnings position. |
Dilutive EPS is calculated using the more dilutive of two approaches. The first approach includes the dilutive effect, using the treasury stock method, associated with shares underlying the 2026 Convertible notes and performance based restricted stock units that are subject to performance criteria, for which actual levels of performance above target have been achieved. The second approach supplements the first by including the "if converted" effect of the 2018 Convertible notes issued in March 2011. Under the "if converted" method, debt issuance and interest costs, both net of tax, associated with the convertible notes are added back to net earnings and the share count is increased by the shares underlying the convertible notes. The 2026 Convertible notes are included in the calculation of both approaches using the treasury stock method when the average stock price is greater than the applicable conversion price.

Note 9 – Stock Based Compensation
The value of restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards is amortized as compensation expense from the date of grant through the earlier of the vesting period or the recipient's eligible retirement date. Awards are expensed upon grant when the recipient's eligible retirement date precedes the grant date.
Compensation expense for restricted stock and restricted stock unit grants was $5.4 million and $10.7 million for the three and six months ended February 29, 2016, respectively and $3.8 million and $7.2 million for the three and six months ended February 28, 2015, respectively. Compensation expense related to restricted stock and restricted stock unit grants is recorded in Selling and administrative expense and Cost of revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Note 10 – Derivative Instruments
Foreign operations give rise to market risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Foreign currency forward exchange contracts with established financial institutions are utilized to hedge a portion of that risk. Interest rate swap agreements are used to reduce the impact of changes in interest rates on certain debt. The Company's foreign currency forward exchange contracts and interest rate swap agreements are designated as cash flow hedges, and therefore the effective portion of unrealized gains and losses is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss.
At February 29, 2016 exchange rates, forward exchange contracts for the purchase of Polish Zlotys and the sale of Euros and U.S. Dollars; the purchase of Mexican Pesos and the sale of U.S. Dollars; and for the purchase of U.S. Dollars and the sale of Saudi Riyals aggregated to $430.6 million. The fair value of the contracts is included on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as Accounts payable and accrued liabilities when there is a loss, or as Accounts receivable, net when there is a gain. As the contracts mature at various dates through September 2018, any such gain or loss remaining will be recognized in manufacturing revenue or cost of revenue along with the related transactions. In the event that the underlying transaction does not occur or does not occur in the period designated at the inception of the hedge, the amount classified in accumulated other comprehensive loss would be reclassified to the results of operations in Interest and foreign exchange at the time of occurrence.
At February 29, 2016, an interest rate swap agreement maturing in March 2020 had a notional amount of $93.9 million. The fair value of the contract is included in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As interest expense on the underlying debt is recognized, amounts corresponding to the interest rate swap are reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive loss and charged or credited to interest expense. At February 29, 2016 interest rates, approximately $1.4 million would be reclassified to interest expense in the next 12 months.

Note 11 – Segment Information
Greenbrier operates in four reportable segments: Manufacturing; Wheels & Parts; Leasing & Services; and GBW Joint Venture. The results of GBW Joint Venture are included as part of Earnings from unconsolidated affiliates as the Company accounts for its interest in GBW Railcar Services LLC (GBW) under the equity method of accounting.
The accounting policies of the segments are described in the summary of significant accounting policies in the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company's 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Performance is evaluated based on Earnings from operations. Corporate includes selling and administrative costs not directly related to goods and services and certain costs that are intertwined among segments due to our integrated business model. The Company does not allocate Interest and foreign exchange or Income tax expense for either external or internal reporting purposes. Intersegment sales and transfers are valued as if the sales or transfers were to third parties. Related revenue and margin are eliminated in consolidation and therefore are not included in consolidated results in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
The information in the following table is derived directly from the segments' internal financial reports used for corporate management purposes. The results of operations for the GBW Joint Venture are not reflected in the tables below as the investment is accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

Note 12 – Commitments and Contingencies
The Company's Portland, Oregon manufacturing facility is located adjacent to the Willamette River. The Company has entered into a Voluntary Cleanup Agreement with the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) in which the Company agreed to conduct an investigation of whether, and to what extent, past or present operations at the Portland property may have released hazardous substances into the environment.
In December 2000, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) classified portions of the Willamette River bed known as the Portland Harbor, including the portion fronting the Company's manufacturing facility, as a federal "National Priority List" or "Superfund" site due to sediment contamination (the Portland Harbor Site). The Company and more than 140 other parties have received a "General Notice" of potential liability from the EPA relating to the Portland Harbor Site. The letter advised the Company that it may be liable for the costs of investigation and remediation (which liability may be joint and several with other potentially responsible parties) as well as for natural resource damages resulting from releases of hazardous substances to the site. At this time, ten private and public entities, including the Company (the Lower Willamette Group or LWG), have signed an Administrative Order on Consent (AOC) to perform a remedial investigation/feasibility study (RI/FS) of the Portland Harbor Site under EPA oversight, and several additional entities have not signed such consent, but are nevertheless contributing money to the effort. The EPA-mandated RI/FS is being produced by the LWG and has cost over $110 million during a 15-year period. The Company has agreed to initially bear a percentage of the total costs incurred by the LWG in connection with the investigation. The Company's aggregate expenditure has not been material during the 15-year period. Some or all of any such outlay may be recoverable from other responsible parties. The EPA expects the investigation to continue until 2017.
Eighty-three parties, including the State of Oregon and the federal government, have entered into a non-judicial mediation process to try to allocate costs associated with the Portland Harbor site. Approximately 110 additional parties have signed tolling agreements related to such allocations. On April 23, 2009, the Company and the other AOC signatories filed suit against 69 other parties due to a possible limitations period for some such claims; Arkema Inc. et al v. A & C Foundry Products, Inc. et al , U.S. District Court, District of Oregon, Case #3:09-cv-453-PK. All but 12 of these parties elected to sign tolling agreements and be dismissed without prejudice, and the case has now been stayed by the court, pending completion of the RI/FS. Although, as described below, the draft feasibility study has been submitted, the RI/FS will not be complete until the EPA approves it, which is not likely to occur until at least 2016.
A draft of the remedial investigation study was submitted by the LWG to the EPA on October 27, 2009. The draft feasibility study was submitted to the EPA on March 30, 2012. That draft feasibility study evaluates several alternative cleanup approaches. The approaches submitted would take from 2 to 28 years with costs ranging from $169 million to $1.8 billion for cleanup of the entire Portland Harbor Site, depending primarily on the selected remedial action levels. The draft feasibility study suggests costs ranging from $9 million to $163 million for cleanup of the area of the Willamette River adjacent to the Company's Portland, Oregon manufacturing facility, depending primarily on the selected remedial action level. In August 2015, the EPA released its own draft feasibility study that suggests a significantly higher range of site-wide costs (from $790 million to $2.4 billion) and clean-up durations ranging from 4 to 18 years. The EPA study does not break those costs down by sub-area. The EPA is currently revising its draft feasibility study.
Neither draft feasibility study addresses responsibility for the costs of clean-up, allocates such costs among the potentially responsible parties, or defines precise boundaries for the cleanup. Responsibility for funding and implementing the EPA's selected cleanup will be determined after the issuance of the Record of Decision, currently scheduled by the EPA for 2017. Based on the investigation to date, the Company believes that it did not contribute in any material way to contamination in the river sediments or the damage of natural resources in the Portland Harbor Site and that the damage in the area of the Portland Harbor Site adjacent to its property precedes its ownership of the Portland, Oregon manufacturing facility. Because these environmental investigations are still underway, sufficient information is currently not available to determine the Company's liability, if any, for the cost of any required remediation or restoration of the Portland Harbor Site or to estimate a range of potential loss. Based on the results of the pending investigations and future assessments of natural resource damages, the Company may be required to incur costs associated with additional phases of investigation or remedial action, and may be liable for damages to natural resources. In addition, the Company may be required to perform periodic maintenance

dredging in order to continue to launch vessels from its launch ways in Portland, Oregon, on the Willamette River, and the river's classification as a Superfund site could result in some limitations on future dredging and launch activities. Any of these matters could adversely affect the Company's business and Consolidated Financial Statements, or the value of its Portland property.
The Company has also signed an Order on Consent with the DEQ to finalize the investigation of potential onsite sources of contamination that may have a release pathway to the Willamette River. Interim precautionary measures are also required in the order and the Company is currently discussing with the DEQ potential remedial actions which may be required. Our aggregate expenditure has not been material, however the Company could incur significant expenses for remediation. Some or all of any such outlay may be recoverable from other responsible parties.
From time to time, Greenbrier is involved as a defendant in litigation in the ordinary course of business, the outcome of which cannot be predicted with certainty. While the ultimate outcome of such legal proceedings cannot be determined at this time, management believes that the resolution of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
In accordance with customary business practices in Europe, the Company has $3.8 million in third party warranty guarantee facilities. To date no amounts have been drawn under these guarantee facilities.
As of February 29, 2016, the Mexican joint venture had $0.9 million of third party debt outstanding, for which the Company and its joint venture partner had each guaranteed approximately $0.4 million.
As of February 29, 2016, the Company had outstanding letters of credit aggregating $81.3 million associated with performance guarantees, facility leases and workers compensation insurance.
The Company made $2.6 million in cash contributions and $2.5 million in loans to GBW, an unconsolidated 50/50 joint venture, for the six months ended February 29, 2016. The Company expects to loan additional amounts of approximately $2.5 million during 2016. The Company is likely to make additional capital contributions or loans to GBW in the future. As of February 29, 2016, the Company had a $34.0 million note receivable balance from GBW which is included on the Consolidated Balance Sheet in Accounts receivable, net.

Note 13 – Fair Value Measures
Certain assets and liabilities are reported at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Fair value, for this disclosure, is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants, under a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
| Level 1 | - | observable inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments; | ||
| Level 2 | - | inputs, other than the quoted market prices in active markets for similar instruments, which are observable, either directly or indirectly; and | ||
| Level 3 | - | unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data available, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. |
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of February 29, 2016 were:

Note 14 – Related Party Transactions
In April 2010, WLR–Greenbrier Rail Inc. (WLR-GBX) was formed and acquired a lease fleet of nearly 4,000 railcars valued at approximately $256.0 million. WLR-GBX is wholly owned by affiliates of WL Ross & Co, LLC (WL Ross) and a member of the Company's board of directors, Wendy Teramoto, is also an affiliate of WL Ross. In September 2015, the Company purchased the entire remaining WLR-GBX lease fleet of 3,885 railcars for approximately $148.0 million plus a $1.0 million fee. The transaction was approved by the Company's disinterested, independent directors. The Company intends to sell the railcars and underlying attached leases to third parties in the short-term and therefore has classified these railcars as Leased railcars for syndication on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet. During the three months ended February 29, 2016, the Company sold to third parties 2,567 of these railcars with the underlying leases attached for $123.8 million. The Company recognized revenue on 1,979 of these railcars for $100.3 million and deferred revenue recognition on 588 of these railcars for $23.5 million due to the Company's continuing involvement.
The Company and WL Ross have agreed that the Company will receive a preferred return on the proceeds of the sale of the portfolio, after which it will share a portion of the profits with WL Ross up to certain defined levels. The Company is first entitled to recoup its total investment plus a rate of return of 25%. The Company and WL Ross will then share in the profits up to certain defined levels. Once those defined levels have been met, the Company is entitled to receive 100% of the remaining profits. As of February 29, 2016, the Company has accrued $14.1 million which represents the portion of the profits for sales through February 29, 2016 that it anticipates will be paid to WL Ross pursuant to this agreement.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Executive Summary
We operate in four reportable segments: Manufacturing; Wheels & Parts; Leasing & Services; and GBW Joint Venture. Our segments are operationally integrated. The Manufacturing segment, operating from facilities in the United States, Mexico and Poland, produces double-stack intermodal railcars, tank cars, conventional railcars, automotive railcar products and marine vessels. The Wheels & Parts segment performs wheel and axle servicing, as well as production of a variety of parts for the railroad industry in North America. The Leasing & Services segment owns approximately 9,400 railcars (5,900 railcars held as equipment on operating leases, 2,900 held as leased railcars for syndication and 600 held as finished goods inventory) and provides management services for approximately 257,000 railcars for railroads, shippers, carriers, institutional investors and other leasing and transportation companies in North America. The GBW Joint Venture segment provides repair services at over 30 locations across North America, including more than 10 tank car repair and maintenance facilities certified by the Association of American Railroads (AAR). The results of these operations were included as part of Earnings (loss) from unconsolidated affiliates as we account for our interest in GBW under the equity method of accounting. We also produce rail castings and tank heads through unconsolidated joint ventures and have a 19.5% ownership stake in a railcar manufacturer in Brazil with an option to acquire an additional 40.5% ownership interest, which can be exercised no later than December 30, 2017.
Our total manufacturing backlog of railcar units as of February 29, 2016 was approximately 34,100 units with an estimated value of $3.96 billion, of which 29,700 units with a value of $3.57 billion are for direct sales and 4,400 units with a value of $0.39 billion are intended for syndications to third parties with a lease attached. Backlog as of February 28, 2015 was approximately 46,000 units with an estimated value of $4.78 billion. Currently, no orders in our February 29, 2016 backlog are intended to be placed into our owned lease fleet. Multi-year supply agreements are a part of rail industry practice. A portion of the orders included in backlog reflects an assumed product mix. Under terms of the orders, the exact mix will be determined in the future, which may impact the dollar amount of backlog. Marine backlog as of February 29, 2016 was $18 million compared to $78 million as of February 28, 2015.
Our backlog of railcar units and marine vessels is not necessarily indicative of future results of operations. Certain orders in backlog are subject to customary documentation and completion of terms. Customer orders contain terms and conditions customary in the industry. Customers may attempt to cancel or modify orders in backlog. In most cases, little variation has been experienced between the quantity ordered and the quantity actually delivered, though the timing of deliveries may be modified from time to time. We cannot guarantee that our reported railcar backlog will convert to revenue in any particular period, if at all.
In September 2015, we purchased a portfolio of 3,885 railcars from a related party for approximately $148.0 million plus a $1.0 million fee. We intend to resell the railcars and underlying attached leases to third parties in the short-term and therefore have classified these railcars as Leased railcars for syndication on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. During the three months ended February 29, 2016, we sold to third parties 2,567 of these railcars with the underlying leases attached for $123.8 million. We recognized revenue on 1,979 of these railcars for $100.3 million and deferred revenue recognition on 588 of these railcars for $23.5 million due to our continuing involvement. The gross proceeds from the sale of these railcars with leases attached were recorded as revenue and the cost of purchasing these railcars was recorded in cost of revenue within our Leasing & Services segment.

Through our integrated business model, we provide a broad range of custom products and services in each of our segments, which have various average selling prices and margins. The demand for and mix of products and services delivered changes from period to period which causes fluctuations in our results of operations.
The 6.2% increase in revenue for the three months ended February 29, 2016 as compared to the three months ended February 28, 2015 was primarily due to a 457.3% increase in Leasing & Services revenue which was primarily the result of the sale of railcars that we purchased from a related third party. This was partially offset by a 10.0% decrease in Manufacturing revenue primarily due to a 14% decrease in the volume of railcar deliveries. In addition, the increase in Leasing & Services revenue was partially offset by an 11.9% decrease in Wheels & Parts revenue as a result of lower wheel set, component and parts volumes due to a decrease in demand and a decrease in scrap metal pricing.
The 8.8% increase in cost of revenue for the three months ended February 29, 2016 as compared to the three months ended February 28, 2015 was due to an increase in Leasing & Services cost of revenue which was the result of costs associated with the sale of railcars that we purchased from a related third party. This was partially offset by a 10.3% decrease in Manufacturing cost of revenue primarily due to a decrease of 14% in the volume of railcar deliveries. In addition, the increase in Leasing & Services cost of revenue was partially offset by a 12.3% decrease in Wheels & Parts cost of revenue due to lower wheel set, component and parts costs associated with decreased volumes.
Margin as a percentage of revenue was 17.9% and 19.9% for the three months ended February 29, 2016 and February 28, 2015, respectively. The overall 2.0% decrease in margin percentage was due to a decrease in Leasing & Services margin. Leasing & Services margin decreased to 14.6% from 60.3% primarily as a result of a lower margin percentage on the syndication of railcars purchased from a related third party. This was partially offset by an increase in Manufacturing margin to 20.4% from 20.2% due to a change in product mix. In addition, the decrease in Leasing & Services margin was partially offset by an increase in Wheels & Parts margin to 10.0% from 9.6% primarily due to a more favorable parts product mix.
The $5.5 million decrease in net earnings for the three months ended February 29, 2016 as compared to the three months ended February 28, 2015 was primarily attributable to a decrease in margin due to lower railcar deliveries and an increase in net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interest. These were partially offset by an increase in net gain on disposition of equipment as compared to the prior comparable period.

The $101.8 million or 457.3% increase in revenue was primarily the result of the sale of railcars for $100.3 million that we purchased from a related third party with the intent to resell them. The gross proceeds from the sale of these railcars with leases attached were recorded as revenue and the cost of purchasing these railcars was recorded in cost of revenue. The increase in revenue was also attributed to a higher average volume of rent-producing leased railcars for syndication, which are held short term and classified as Leased railcars for syndication on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Leasing & Services cost of revenue was $106.0 million and $8.8 million for the three months ended February 29, 2016 and February 28, 2015, respectively. Cost of revenue increased $97.1 million primarily due to costs associated with the sale of railcars that we purchased from a related third party.

GBW Joint Venture Segment
GBW, an unconsolidated 50/50 joint venture, generated total revenue of $97.7 million and $83.3 million for the three months ended February 29, 2016 and February 28, 2015, respectively. The increase in revenue of $14.4 million was primarily due to a favorable change in mix, an increase in volume and favorable pricing.
GBW margin as a percentage of revenue for the three months ended February 29, 2016 was 10.3% compared to 4.5% for the three months ended February 28, 2015. The increase was primarily attributed to an increase in labor efficiencies in the current year.
To reflect our 50% share of GBW's results, we recorded earnings of $1.3 million and a loss of $0.3 million in Earnings (loss) from unconsolidated affiliates for the three months ended February 29, 2016 and February 28, 2015, respectively.

| |||||||
The $0.5 million decrease in interest and foreign exchange expense from the prior comparable period was primarily attributed to a $0.3 million decrease in interest expense as a result of lower average borrowings as compared to the prior year. In addition, the decrease in interest and foreign exchange expense was attributed to a $0.2 million increase in foreign exchange gain as compared to the prior comparable period primarily attributed to the change in the Mexican Peso relative to the U.S. Dollar.
Income Tax
The tax rate for the three months ended February 29, 2016 was 28.3%, compared to 32.4% for the three months ended February 28, 2015. The decrease in the tax rate was primarily attributable to a change in the proportion of projected pre-tax earnings attributable to our Mexican railcar manufacturing joint venture.
The tax rate can fluctuate period-to-period due to changes in the projected mix of foreign and domestic pre-tax earnings and due to discrete tax items booked within the interim period. It can also fluctuate with changes in the proportion of projected pre-tax earnings attributable to our Mexican railcar manufacturing joint venture because the joint venture is predominantly treated as a partnership for tax purposes and, as a result, the partnership's entire pre-tax earnings are included in Earnings before income taxes and earnings from unconsolidated affiliates, whereas only our 50% share of the tax is included in Income tax expense.
Earnings (Loss) From Unconsolidated Affiliates
Earnings from unconsolidated affiliates was $1.0 million for the three months ended February 29, 2016 compared to a loss from unconsolidated affiliates of $0.2 million for the three months ended February 28, 2015. Earnings (loss) from unconsolidated affiliates primarily included our share of after-tax results from our castings joint venture and our share of after-tax results from our GBW Joint Venture including eliminations associated with GBW transactions with other Greenbrier entities. In addition, the three months ended February 29, 2016 included our share of after-tax results from our 19.5% ownership stake in a railcar manufacturer in Brazil.
Noncontrolling Interest
Net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interest was $21.3 million for the three months ended February 29, 2016 compared to $10.7 million in the prior comparable period. These amounts primarily represent our joint venture partner's share in the results of operations of our Mexican railcar manufacturing joint venture, adjusted for intercompany sales. The increase of $10.6 million from the prior year is primarily a result of higher margins and lower volumes of intercompany activity.

Through our integrated business model, we provide a broad range of custom products and services in each of our segments, which have various average selling prices and margins. The demand for and mix of products and services delivered changes from period to period which causes fluctuations in our results of operations.
The 30.8% increase in revenue for the six months ended February 29, 2016 as compared to the six months ended February 28, 2015 was primarily due to a 30.3% increase in Manufacturing revenue. The increase in Manufacturing revenue was primarily due to a 25% increase in the volume of railcar deliveries with a mix that had a higher average selling price. In addition, the increase in revenue was due a 193.8% increase in Leasing & Services revenue which was primarily the result of an increase in the sale of railcars that we purchased from a related third party. These were partially offset by a 10.6% decrease in Wheels & Parts revenue as a result of lower wheel set, component and parts volumes due to a decrease in demand and a decrease in scrap metal pricing.
The 28.0% increase in cost of revenue for the six months ended February 29, 2016 as compared to the six months ended February 28, 2015 was due to a 24.4% increase in Manufacturing cost of revenue. The increase in Manufacturing cost of revenue was due to an increase of 25% in the volume of railcar deliveries with a mix that had a higher average labor and material content. This was partially offset by improved production efficiencies. In addition, the increase in revenue was due a 412.8% increase in Leasing & Services cost of revenue which was primarily the result of an increase in the costs associated with the sale of railcars that we purchased from a related third party. These were partially offset by a 9.0% decrease in Wheels & Parts cost of revenue as a result of lower wheel set, component and parts costs associated with decreased volumes.
Margin as a percentage of revenue was 20.7% and 19.0% for the six months ended February 29, 2016 and February 28, 2015, respectively. The overall 1.7% increase in margin percentage was due to an increase in Manufacturing margin which increased to 22.4% from 18.7% primarily due to a change in product mix and improved production efficiencies. This was partially offset by a decrease in Leasing & Services margin to 21.1% from 54.8% primarily as a result of a lower margin percentage on the syndication of railcars purchased from a related third party. In addition, the increase in Manufacturing margin was partially offset by a decrease in Wheels & Parts margin to 8.7% from 10.4% due to lower wheel set and component volumes and a decrease in scrap metal pricing.
The $31.2 million increase in net earnings for the six months ended February 29, 2016 as compared to the six months ended February 28, 2015 was primarily attributable to an increase in margin due to higher railcar deliveries.

The 33.7% decrease was primarily as a result of a lower margin percentage on the syndication of railcars purchased from a related third party. This was partially offset by a higher average volume of rent-producing leased railcars for syndication.
Leasing & Services operating profit was $34.4 million or 23.1% of revenue for the six months ended February 29, 2016 and $20.9 million or 41.1% of revenue for the six months ended February 28, 2015. The $13.5 million or 64.8% increase in operating profit was primarily attributed to an increase in net gain on disposition of equipment and an increase in margin due to the sale of railcars that we purchased from a related third party.

GBW Joint Venture Segment
GBW, an unconsolidated 50/50 joint venture, generated total revenue of $193.7 million and $165.9 million for the six months ended February 29, 2016 and February 28, 2015, respectively. The increase in revenue of $27.8 million was primarily due to a favorable change in mix, an increase in volume and favorable pricing.
GBW margin as a percentage of revenue for the six months ended February 29, 2016 was 9.8% compared to 5.3% for the six months ended February 28, 2015. The increase was primarily attributed to an increase in labor efficiencies in the current year. In addition, the prior year included integration and startup costs.
To reflect our 50% share of GBW's results, we recorded earnings of $2.1 million and $0.1 million in Earnings (loss) from unconsolidated affiliates for the six months ended February 29, 2016 and February 28, 2015, respectively.

Selling and administrative expense was $74.8 million or 5.1% of revenue for the six months ended February 29, 2016 compared to $66.6 million or 5.9% of revenue for the prior comparable period. The $8.2 million increase was primarily attributed to a $9.0 million increase in employee-related costs including long-term and short-term incentive compensation and additional headcount. The increase was also attributed to a $2.2 million increase in consulting costs primarily associated with strategic business development and IT initiatives. This was partially offset by the prior year including $1.9 million in legal, accounting and consulting costs associated with the previously disclosed investigation at our Concarril manufacturing facility.
Net Gain on Disposition of Equipment
Net gain on disposition of equipment was $11.0 million for the six months ended February 29, 2016, compared to $0.2 million for the prior comparable period. Assets from our lease fleet (Equipment on operating leases, net) are periodically sold in the normal course of business in order to take advantage of market conditions and to manage risk and liquidity.

The $1.8 million increase in interest and foreign exchange expense was primarily attributed to a $2.0 million decrease in foreign exchange gain from the prior comparable period primarily attributed to the change in the Mexican Peso relative to the U.S. Dollar.
Income Tax
The tax rate for the six months ended February 29, 2016 was 30.1%, compared to 32.0% for the six months ended February 28, 2015.
The tax rate can fluctuate period-to-period due to changes in the projected mix of foreign and domestic pre-tax earnings and due to discrete tax items booked within the interim period. It can also fluctuate with changes in the proportion of projected pre-tax earnings attributable to our Mexican railcar manufacturing joint venture because the joint venture is predominantly treated as a partnership for tax purposes and, as a result, the partnership's entire pre-tax earnings are included in Earnings before income taxes and earnings from unconsolidated affiliates, whereas only our 50% share of the tax is included in Income tax expense.
Earnings (Loss) From Unconsolidated Affiliates
Earnings from unconsolidated affiliates was $1.4 million and $0.6 million for the six months ended February 29, 2016 and February 28, 2015, respectively. Earnings from unconsolidated affiliates primarily included our share of after-tax results from our castings joint venture and our share of after-tax results from our GBW Joint Venture including eliminations associated with GBW transactions with other Greenbrier entities. In addition, the six months ended February 29, 2016 included our share of after-tax results from our 19.5% ownership stake in a railcar manufacturer in Brazil.
Noncontrolling Interest
Net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interest was $50.6 million for the six months ended February 29, 2016 compared to $13.9 million in the prior comparable period. These amounts primarily represent our joint venture partner's share in the results of operations of our Mexican railcar manufacturing joint venture, adjusted for intercompany sales. The increase of $36.7 million from the prior year is primarily a result of the joint venture operating at higher production rates with higher margins and lower volumes of intercompany activity.

We have been financed through cash generated from operations and borrowings. At February 29, 2016, cash and cash equivalents were $283.5 million, an increase of $110.6 million from $172.9 million at August 31, 2015.
Cash provided by operating activities was $149.3 million for the six months ended February 29, 2016 compared to cash used in operating activities of $7.8 million for the six months ended February 28, 2015. The change from the prior year was primarily due to higher earnings, a change in working capital needs, an increase in leased railcars for syndication and an increase in deferred revenue primarily associated with advanced payments received and transactions for which revenue recognition has been deferred due to continuing involvement.
Cash provided by and used in investing activities primarily related to capital expenditures net of proceeds from the sale of assets. Cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended February 29, 2016 was $50.1 million compared to cash used in investing activities of $55.7 million for the six months ended February 28, 2015. The change was attributed to higher proceeds from the sale of assets and lower capital expenditures for the six months ended February 29, 2016 compared to the prior year.
Capital expenditures totaled $28.0 million and $53.9 million for the six months ended February 29, 2016 and February 28, 2015, respectively. Proceeds from the sale of assets, which primarily related to sales of railcars from our lease fleet within Leasing & Services, were approximately $80.5 million and $3.0 million for the six months ended February 29, 2016 and February 28, 2015, respectively. Proceeds from the sale of assets for the six months ended February 29, 2016 included approximately $31.6 million of equipment that was transferred from Leased railcars for syndication to Equipment on operating leases, net and sold pursuant to a sale and leaseback.
Approximately $22.7 million and $41.0 million of capital expenditures for the six months ended February 29, 2016 and February 28, 2015, respectively were attributable to Manufacturing operations. Capital expenditures for Manufacturing are expected to be approximately $55.0 million in 2016 and primarily relate to maintenance and enhancements of our existing manufacturing facilities.
Approximately $2.9 million and $9.4 million of capital expenditures for the six months ended February 29, 2016 and February 28, 2015, respectively were attributable to Leasing & Services operations and corporate. Leasing & Services and corporate capital expenditures for 2016 are expected to be approximately $30.0 million. Proceeds from sales of leased railcar equipment are expected to be approximately $81.0 million for 2016. Assets from our lease fleet are periodically sold in the normal course of business in order to take advantage of market conditions and to manage risk and liquidity.
Approximately $2.4 million and $3.5 million of capital expenditures for the six months ended February 29, 2016 and February 28, 2015, respectively were attributable to Wheels & Parts operations. Capital expenditures for Wheels & Parts are expected to be approximately $8.0 million in 2016 for maintenance and enhancements of our existing facilities.
Cash used in financing activities was $79.4 million for the six months ended February 29, 2016 compared to cash provided by financing activities of $29.2 million for the six months ended February 28, 2015. The change from the prior year was primarily attributed to a decrease in proceeds from debt, net of repayments and an increase in cash distributions to our joint venture partner.

A quarterly dividend of $0.20 per share was declared on March 30, 2016.
Since October 2013, the Board of Directors has authorized our company to repurchase in aggregate up to $225 million of our common stock. During the three and six months ended February 29, 2016, we purchased a total of 533,061 and 1,054,687 shares for approximately $13.3 million and $32.4 million, respectively. As of February 29, 2016 we had cumulatively repurchased 3,206,226 shares for approximately $137.0 million and had $88.0 million available under the share repurchase program with an expiration date of January 1, 2018.
Senior secured credit facilities, consisting of three components, aggregated to $625.3 million as of February 29, 2016. We had an aggregate of $297.4 million available to draw down under committed credit facilities as of February 29, 2016. This amount consists of $222.1 million available on the North American credit facility, $15.3 million on the European credit facilities and $60.0 million on the Mexican joint venture credit facilities.
As of February 29, 2016, a $550.0 million revolving line of credit secured by substantially all of our assets in the U.S. not otherwise pledged as security for term loans, maturing October 2020, was available to provide working capital and interim financing of equipment, principally for the U.S. and Mexican operations. Advances under this facility bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.75% or Prime plus 0.75% depending on the type of borrowing. Available borrowings under the credit facility are generally based on defined levels of inventory, receivables, property, plant and equipment and leased equipment, as well as total debt to consolidated capitalization and fixed charges coverage ratios.
As of February 29, 2016, lines of credit totaling $15.3 million secured by certain of our European assets, with various variable rates that range from Warsaw Interbank Offered Rate (WIBOR) plus 1.2% to WIBOR plus 1.3%, were available for working capital needs of the European manufacturing operation. European credit facilities are continually being renewed. Currently these European credit facilities have maturities that range from February 2017 through June 2017.
As of February 29, 2016 our Mexican joint venture had three lines of credit totaling $60.0 million. The first line of credit provides up to $10.0 million and is secured by certain of the joint venture's accounts receivable and inventory. Advances under this facility bear interest at LIBOR plus 2.5%. The Mexican joint venture will be able to draw amounts available under this facility through June 2016. The second line of credit provides up to $30.0 million and is fully guaranteed by us and our joint venture partner. Advances under this facility bear interest at LIBOR plus 2.0%. The Mexican joint venture will be able to draw against this facility through January 2019. The third line of credit provides up to $20.0 million, of which we and our joint venture partner have each guaranteed 50%. Advances under this facility bear interest at LIBOR plus 2.0%. The Mexican joint venture will be able to draw amounts available under this facility through August 2017.
As of February 29, 2016, outstanding commitments under the senior secured credit facilities consisted of $81.3 million in letters of credit and $75.0 million in revolving notes under the North American credit facility.
The revolving and operating lines of credit, along with notes payable, contain covenants with respect to us and our various subsidiaries, the most restrictive of which, among other things, limit our ability to: incur additional indebtedness or guarantees; pay dividends or repurchase stock; enter into sale leaseback transactions; create liens; sell assets; engage in transactions with affiliates, including joint ventures and non U.S. subsidiaries, including but not limited to loans, advances, equity investments and guarantees; enter into mergers, consolidations or sales of substantially all our assets; and enter into new lines of business. The covenants also require certain maximum ratios of debt to total capitalization and minimum levels of fixed charges (interest plus rent) coverage. As of February 29, 2016, we were in compliance with all such restrictive covenants.
We may from time to time seek to repurchase or otherwise retire or exchange securities, including outstanding borrowings and equity securities, and take other steps to reduce our debt or otherwise improve our balance sheet. These actions may include open market repurchases, unsolicited or solicited privately negotiated transactions or other retirements, repurchases or exchanges. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, prevailing market conditions, trading levels of our debt, our liquidity requirements and contractual restrictions, if applicable.

THE GREENBRIER COMPANIES, INC.
We have global operations that conduct business in their local currencies as well as other currencies. To mitigate the exposure to transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency, we enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts with established financial institutions to protect the margin on a portion of foreign currency sales in firm backlog. Given the strong credit standing of the counterparties, no provision has been made for credit loss due to counterparty non-performance.
As of February 29, 2016, the Mexican joint venture had $0.9 million of third party debt, of which we and our joint venture partner have each guaranteed approximately $0.4 million.
In accordance with customary business practices in Europe, we have $3.8 million in third party warranty guarantee facilities as of February 29, 2016. To date no amounts have been drawn under these guarantee facilities.
We made $2.6 million in cash contributions and $2.5 million in loans to GBW, an unconsolidated 50/50 joint venture, for the six months ended February 29, 2016. We expect to loan additional amounts of approximately $2.5 million during 2016. We are likely to make additional capital contributions or loans to GBW in the future. As of February 29, 2016, we had a $34.0 million note receivable balance from GBW which is included on the Consolidated Balance Sheet in Accounts receivable, net.
We expect existing funds and cash generated from operations, together with proceeds from financing activities including borrowings under existing credit facilities and long-term financings, to be sufficient to fund dividends, working capital needs, additional investments in GBW, planned capital expenditures and expected debt repayments during the next twelve months.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not currently have off balance sheet arrangements that have or are likely to have a material current or future effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

THE GREENBRIER COMPANIES, INC.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires judgment on the part of management to arrive at estimates and assumptions on matters that are inherently uncertain. These estimates may affect the amount of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities within the financial statements. Estimates and assumptions are periodically evaluated and may be adjusted in future periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Income taxes - For financial reporting purposes, income tax expense is estimated based on amounts anticipated to be reported on tax return filings. Those anticipated amounts may change from when the financial statements are prepared to when the tax returns are filed. Further, because tax filings are subject to review by taxing authorities, there is risk that a position taken in preparation of a tax return may be challenged by a taxing authority. If a challenge is successful, differences in tax expense or between current and deferred tax items may arise in future periods. Any material effect of such differences would be reflected in the financial statements when management considers the effect probable of occurring and the amount reasonably estimable. Valuation allowances reduce deferred tax assets to amounts more likely than not that will be realized based on information available when the financial statements are prepared. This information may include estimates of future income and other assumptions that are inherently uncertain.
Maintenance obligations - We are responsible for maintenance on a portion of the managed and owned lease fleet under the terms of maintenance obligations defined in the underlying lease or management agreement. The estimated maintenance liability is based on maintenance histories for each type and age of railcar. These estimates involve judgment as to the future costs of repairs and the types and timing of repairs required over the lease term. As we cannot predict with certainty the prices, timing and volume of maintenance needed in the future on railcars under long-term leases, this estimate is uncertain and could be materially different from maintenance requirements. The liability is periodically reviewed and updated based on maintenance trends and known future repair or refurbishment requirements. These adjustments could be material due to the inherent uncertainty in predicting future maintenance requirements.
Warranty accruals - Warranty costs to cover a defined warranty period are estimated and charged to operations. The estimated warranty cost is based on historical warranty claims for each particular product type. For new product types without a warranty history, preliminary estimates are based on historical information for similar product types. These estimates are inherently uncertain as they are based on historical data for existing products and judgment for new products. If warranty claims are made in the current period for issues that have not historically been the subject of warranty claims and were not taken into consideration in establishing the accrual or if claims for issues already considered in establishing the accrual exceed expectations, warranty expense may exceed the accrual for that particular product. Conversely, there is the possibility that claims may be lower than estimates. The warranty accrual is periodically reviewed and updated based on warranty trends. However, as we cannot predict future claims, the potential exists for the difference in any one reporting period to be material.
Environmental costs - At times we may be involved in various proceedings related to environmental matters. We estimate future costs for known environmental remediation requirements and accrue for them when it is probable that we have incurred a liability and the related costs can be reasonably estimated based on currently available information. If further developments in or resolution of an environmental matter result in facts and circumstances that are significantly different than the assumptions used to develop these reserves, the accrual for environmental remediation could be materially understated or overstated. Adjustments to these liabilities are made when additional information becomes available that affects the estimated costs to study or remediate any environmental issues or when expenditures for which reserves are established are made. Due to the uncertain nature of environmental matters, there can be no assurance that we will not become involved in future litigation or other proceedings or, if we were found to be responsible or liable in any litigation or proceeding, that such costs would not be material to us.
55
THE GREENBRIER COMPANIES, INC.
Revenue recognition - Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.
Railcars are generally manufactured, repaired or refurbished and wheels and parts produced under firm orders from third parties. Revenue is recognized when these products or services are completed, accepted by an unaffiliated customer and contractual contingencies removed. Certain leases are operated under car hire arrangements whereby revenue is earned based on utilization, car hire rates and terms specified in the lease agreement. Car hire revenue is reported from a third party source two months in arrears; however, such revenue is accrued in the month earned based on estimates of use from historical activity and is adjusted to actual as reported. These estimates are inherently uncertain as they involve judgment as to the estimated use of each railcar. Adjustments to actual have historically not been significant. Revenues from construction of marine barges are either recognized on the percentage of completion method during the construction period or on the completed contract method based on the terms of the contract. Under the percentage of completion method, judgment is used to determine a definitive threshold against which progress towards completion can be measured to determine timing of revenue recognition. Under the percentage of completion method, revenue is recognized based on the progress toward contract completion measured by actual costs incurred to date in relation to the estimate of total expected costs. Under the completed contract method, revenue is not recognized until the project has been fully completed.
We will periodically sell railcars with leases attached to financial investors. Revenue and cost of revenue associated with railcars that the Company has manufactured are recognized in Manufacturing once sold. Revenue and cost of revenue associated with railcars which were obtained from a third party with the intent to resell them and subsequently sold are recognized in Leasing & Services. In addition we will often perform management or maintenance services at market rates for these railcars. Pursuant to the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 840-20-40, we evaluate the terms of any remarketing agreements and any contractual provisions that represent retained risk and the level of retained risk based on those provisions. We determine whether the level of retained risk exceeds 10% of the individual fair value of the railcars with leases attached that are delivered. For any contracts with multiple elements (i.e. railcars, maintenance, management services, etc.) we allocate revenue among the deliverables primarily based upon objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of each element in the arrangement. If objective and reliable evidence of fair value of any element is not available, we will use the element's estimated selling price for purposes of allocating the total arrangement consideration among the elements.
Impairment of long-lived assets - When changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of certain long-lived assets may not be recoverable, the assets are evaluated for impairment. If the forecast undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the assets, an impairment charge to reduce the carrying value of the assets to fair value is recognized in the current period. These estimates are based on the best information available at the time of the impairment and could be materially different if circumstances change. If the forecast undiscounted future cash flows exceeded the carrying amount of the assets it would indicate that the assets were not impaired.
Goodwill and acquired intangible assets - We periodically acquire businesses in purchase transactions in which the allocation of the purchase price may result in the recognition of goodwill and other intangible assets. The determination of the value of such intangible assets requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates affect the amount of future period amortization and possible impairment charges.
Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually during the third quarter. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are also tested more frequently if changes in circumstances or the occurrence of events indicates that a potential impairment exists. When changes in circumstances, such as a decline in the market price of our common stock, changes in demand or in the numerous variables associated with the judgments, assumptions and estimates made in assessing the appropriate valuation of goodwill indicate the carrying amount of certain indefinite lived assets may not be recoverable, the assets are evaluated for impairment. Among other things, our assumptions used in the valuation of goodwill include growth of revenue and margins, market multiples, discount rates and increased cash flows over time. If actual operating results were to differ from these assumptions, it may result in an impairment of our goodwill.
56
THE GREENBRIER COMPANIES, INC.
The provisions of ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, require that we perform a two-step impairment test on goodwill. In the first step, we compare the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying value. We determine the fair value of our reporting units based on a weighting of income and market approaches. Under the income approach, we calculate the fair value of a reporting unit based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. Under the market approach, we estimate the fair value based on observed market multiples for comparable businesses. The second step of the goodwill impairment test is required only in situations where the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value as determined in the first step. In the second step, we would compare the implied fair value of goodwill to its carrying value. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of a reporting unit to all of the assets and liabilities of that unit as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination and the fair value of the reporting unit was the price paid to acquire the reporting unit. The excess of the fair value of a reporting unit over the amounts assigned to its assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill. An impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying amount of the reporting unit goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill. The goodwill balance relates to the Wheels & Parts segment.

| Item 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
We have global operations that conduct business in their local currencies as well as other currencies. To mitigate the exposure to transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of each entity, we enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to protect revenue or margin on a portion of forecast foreign currency sales and expenses. At February 29, 2016 exchange rates, forward exchange contracts the purchase of Polish Zlotys and the sale of Euros and U.S. Dollars; the purchase of Mexican Pesos and the sale of U.S. Dollars; and for the purchase of U.S. Dollars and the sale of Saudi Riyals aggregated to $430.6 million. Because of the variety of currencies in which purchases and sales are transacted and the interaction between currency rates, it is not possible to predict the impact a movement in a single foreign currency exchange rate would have on future operating results.
In addition to exposure to transaction gains or losses, we are also exposed to foreign currency exchange risk related to the net asset position of our foreign subsidiaries. At February 29, 2016, net assets of foreign subsidiaries aggregated $52.9 million and a 10% strengthening of the U.S. Dollar relative to the foreign currencies would result in a decrease in equity of $5.3 million, or 0.7% of Total equity-Greenbrier. This calculation assumes that each exchange rate would change in the same direction relative to the U.S. Dollar.
Interest Rate Risk
We have managed a portion of our variable rate debt with interest rate swap agreements, effectively converting $93.9 million of variable rate debt to fixed rate debt. As a result, we are exposed to interest rate risk relating to our revolving debt and a portion of term debt, which are at variable rates. At February 29, 2016, 57% of our outstanding debt had fixed rates and 43% had variable rates. At February 29, 2016, a uniform 10% increase in variable interest rates would result in approximately $0.4 million of additional annual interest expense.
