業務與營運表現
Harsco Environmental
該業務成長主要受到服務與產品交付量增加、定價優勢以及現有站點營運改善的支撐。然而,中東和土耳其市場的疲軟、較高的激勵薪酬以及外匯折算逆風,部分抵消了上述增幅。
客戶的鋼鐵產量較去年同期小幅增加。管理階層表示,自 2026 年 7 月起實施的新關稅配額方案後,幾家歐洲鋼鐵廠計畫重啟營運。Enviri 為其中部分站點提供服務,預期大部分效益將顯現在 2027 年,第四季可能會有有限的貢獻。
該公司也正在改變車隊維護與管理模式,以提高設備可用率和生產力,並已精簡該部門的組織與日常管理費用結構。
Rail
設備出貨量下滑反映出北美需求疲軟(管理階層形容已處於數十年來的低點),以及退出 DB 和 Network Rail 合約的影響。獲利能力改善則是受惠於更有利的銷售組合、更強勁的售後市場活動、較低的營運成本、製造與人力架構調整,以及後進先出法 (LIFO) 銷貨成本調整。
Enviri 建立了新的售後市場領導團隊、獨立的組織架構與損益表 (P&L),以及基於產品生命週期的商業運作模式。管理階層表示,該項計畫仍處於初期階段,預計結構性效益將在 2028 年前逐步顯現。
DB 客製化工程合約已完全終止。Enviri 於 10 月支付約 7,300 萬美元以退還客戶預付款並清償其履約義務。DB 將釋放約 1,300 萬美元的履約保證金,且無需再向 DB 支付任何款項。
GBM 已承接相關車輛的責任,並已支付三筆資產款項中的第一筆。總收益可能達到 4,200 萬美元,其中包括預計在未來幾季收到的高達 3,400 萬美元款項。
在 SBB 方面,首批 36 輛貨車已交付並獲驗收。剩餘的 11 輛車中,有 4 輛已製造完成並正進行客戶試運轉,另外 7 輛正在生產或即將投產。管理階層預計將在約未來一年內完工,且顯著的淨現金流入將主要落在 2027 年和 2028 年。
管理階層財測
| 財測項目 | 當前預期 | 先前預期或比較基準 |
|---|---|---|
| Harsco Environmental 全年調整後 EBITDA | 1.8 億美元至 1.84 億美元 | 1.7 億美元至 1.8 億美元 |
| Rail 全年調整後 EBITDA | 虧損 700 萬至 1,000 萬美元 | 虧損 1,900 萬至 2,600 萬美元 |
| 第四季企業總部成本 | 500 萬至 600 萬美元 | 已扣除股權激勵費用 |
管理階層將展望的上調歸因於效率提升計畫、Harsco Environmental 服務業務略有增強,以及 Rail 售後市場銷售量增加。
以第四季財測中位數來看,Harsco Environmental 的表現預計將與 2025 年第四季相當。其潛在成長預計將被去年同期一筆不再發生的營運稅收抵免以及中東市場的壓力所抵消。Rail 則預計將受惠於售後市場出貨量的成長及成本的降低。
扣除 10 月支付的約 7,300 萬美元 DB 款項後,基本自由現金流預計將較第三季有所改善。Enviri 還收到威立雅 (Veolia) 就出售 Clean Earth 所支付的 500 萬美元最終營運資金結算找補款。
風險與關注事項
- 北美新設備需求依然疲軟,限制了 Rail 的營收表現。
- 中東衝突持續對 Harsco Environmental 該地區及土耳其的業務量帶來壓力。
- Network Rail 仍在評估 Enviri 提出的替代方案,該方案旨在升級其現有的碎石吹整車 (stone-blower) 車隊。管理階層表示討論仍具建設性,但該程序可能需要一些時間。
- Enviri 已不再根據 Network Rail 設備合約進行作業或投入額外現金。該公司表示,已為潛在結果提撥了充足的現金儲備。
- 在 Harsco Environmental 的 100 多個站點推行維護和營運變革需要時間,這使得改善計畫見效的時機存在不確定性。
分析師問答重點
管理階層將 Rail 售後市場的拓展定調為早期機會。最初的收益主要來自立竿見影的快速成果,而組織架構與商業模式的變革預計將在未來幾季乃至 2028 年持續貢獻效益。
針對 Network Rail,管理階層強調 Enviri 仍持續提供其他合約服務,並維持良好的客戶關係。在雙方尋求解決方案的同時,設備合約並未產生額外的支出。
截至季末,該公司已就合約相關義務提列約 1.85 億美元的應付帳款,其中包括隨後支付的 7,300 萬美元 DB 款項。Enviri 還在財報現金之外,持有 2,500 萬美元與履約保證函相關的現金擔保品。
管理階層同意 2027 年 Rail 現金流達到正值或至少非負值的說法是合理的,但並未正式發布 2027 年財測。預計該公司將在 2 月提供 2027 年展望時公布更多細節。

I would now like to introduce Dave Martin of Enviri Corporation. Mr. Martin, you may now begin your call.
David Martin
Welcome to everyone joining us this morning. With me today is Russell Hochman, our President and CEO; and Peter Minan, our Executive Vice President and CFO. This morning, we will discuss our results for the third quarter as well as our outlook. After our prepared remarks, we will take your questions. Our quarterly earnings release and slide presentation for this call are available on our website.

For a discussion of such risks and uncertainties, see the Risk Factors section in our Form 10 information statement. The company undertakes no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statement.
Lastly, on this call, we will refer to adjusted financial results that are considered non-GAAP for SEC reporting purposes. A reconciliation to GAAP results is included in our earnings release as well as the slide presentation. Now I'll turn the call over to Russell to begin his remarks.
Russell Hochman
Thank you, Dave. It's great to be with you all today to discuss our quarterly results and to update you on the progress we've made on our key priorities. Let's begin with the quarter. Harsco Environmental and Rail each delivered very strong results, which exceeded our expectations in the third quarter, and our business leadership and teams continue to respond well with a sense of determination and focus. Our adjusted earnings grew by more than 20% for the second consecutive quarter with both businesses reporting their highest quarterly earnings in roughly 2 years.
We achieved these results despite some persistent headwinds in the markets we serve, which I believe validates the merits of our near-term strategy for Enviri and the strong leadership and disciplined execution across our businesses. HE's growth in the quarter was driven by improvements and efficiency initiatives as well as a modest lift in volumes. Rail meanwhile, benefited from a lower overall cost structure resulting from our restructuring actions in recent quarters as well as an improved business mix, including within aftermarket parts.
Notwithstanding the continuing softness in the market for new equipment in North America, aftermarket overperformed our expectations, remaining a greater area of strategic focus and an important short-term growth opportunity for Rail. We expect the momentum within our businesses to continue, and we've raised our outlook for the year as a result. Pete will go through the quarter and our outlook in more detail. Next, let me turn to our priorities. We continue delivering on our commitments to drive actions to strengthen Enviri by derisking our ETO exposure in rail and executing on improvement program to enhance business efficiency and operational performance across the company.
We expect these efforts to drive meaningful earnings, margin and cash flow growth while improving our financial and strategic flexibility over the next year. Turning to rail ETO contracts. As we announced yesterday, we have executed an agreement with DB that releases the Harsco Rail from its obligations under the engineered-to-order contract for utility track vehicles. In connection with the release, as planned, we paid approximately $73 million in October to repay customer advances and satisfy our obligations associated with exiting the contract. This amount had been fully accrued for with the related cash set aside from the sale of Clean Earth.
As part of this agreement, DB will release performance bonds totaling approximately $13 million. No payments to DB are required under the agreement. We are pleased that DB will receive the next generation of machines from GBM to support their mission and that Harsco Rail has been able to maintain a positive relationship with this customer throughout this process. This formally completes our exit from the DB contract and removes a significant source of operational and financial uncertainty. This is truly a great outcome for Enviri and its shareholders.
Separately, under our agreement to transfer the assets related to the exited DB contract, GBM, the subcontractor on the project, has now assumed all responsibility for the related vehicles and has paid us the first of 3 installments for the project assets, which are expected to total up to $42 million. For Network Rail, our constructive discussions are ongoing, and both sides are committed to finding a mutually beneficial resolution to this situation. Network Rail continues to evaluate our proposed alternative solution to upgrade their existing fleet of stone blowers, and we expect that this process will take some time.
Importantly, we are no longer executing on this equipment contract, and therefore, we are not deploying any incremental cash related to this contract. Also, let me reaffirm that we have set aside cash from the sale of Clean Earth to fully address all potential outcomes related to exiting this contract with Network Rail. We are also making good progress on our remaining large ETO contract with SBB. The first 36 vehicles, the wagons have been fully delivered and now accepted. Of the remaining 11 vehicles, 4 have been fully manufactured and are undergoing commissioning by the customer. The other 7 vehicles are now being produced or will be shortly.
We remain on track to complete this project over the next year or so and importantly, collect the cash related to these final vehicles. While there is still work to do on these 2 contracts, we successfully eliminated a good deal of risk and distraction and the team is keenly focused on its core maintenance of way of business, which is more predictable and cash generative and lower risk. Lastly, let me comment on our self-help improvement program. These broad-based efforts have been underway for a couple of quarters, and we recently completed our final assessment of the various work streams.
We conducted a very disciplined bottoms-up process, and I'm encouraged by the ownership and leadership across the company. Based on this assessment, we are committing to deliver approximately $40 million of annualized value for our shareholders from these actions. Pete will provide some additional detail in his remarks. In Harsco Environmental, we are changing certain long-standing practices on how we maintain and manage our equipment fleet, which improve asset availability and productivity while performing at the high service levels our customers expect. We have also simplified HE's organization and overhead structure.
These actions are expected to strengthen our competitiveness while supporting our profitability and continued leadership in the industry. In Rail, we optimized our manufacturing footprint and working capital to improve operational efficiency to support product quality and on-time product delivery. We also rightsized administrative and engineering support spending, and we're beginning to see the benefits of these actions. We are also doubling down on aftermarket with a more aggressive commercial strategy that we expect to sustainably boost the size of this business within rail.
It's an exciting time for Enviri. Both HE and Rail are moving in the right direction, and our Q3 performance again highlights the importance of disciplined execution and our focus on delivering on our commitments. Our strategic priorities are very clear, and I'm encouraged by the progress we've made over the past 2 quarters. Enviri is well positioned with a strong balance sheet and significant financial and strategic flexibility, which should strengthen further as a result of our improvement initiatives. Any uplift in our end markets will further boost our growth over time. In short, we are very optimistic about what Enviri can accomplish over the next year or 2. Now let me turn it over to Pete to discuss the quarter in more detail.
Peter Minan
Thanks, Russell, and good morning, everyone. Both of our businesses executed and performed very well in the third quarter despite, as [ Russell ] mentioned, some market headwinds. Each business delivered year-over-year earnings growth that exceeded our expectations. Relative to our prior guidance, we benefited from better services activity at HE and higher aftermarket volumes in Rail. Both businesses also benefited from our focus on cost controls and our recently implemented efficiency actions. As I've mentioned before, we are laser-focused on delivering against our near-term commitments.
And given our momentum, we're pleased to raise our earnings guidance for the year. Looking a little further out, HE and Rail continue to push forward our key initiatives aimed at further boosting our earnings, margins and cash flow profile, which [ Russell ] discussed. I'll come back to our guidance and improvement program shortly, but let me first walk through our third quarter details starting on Slide 4. As with the last quarter, note that our financial data now excludes Clean Earth for all historical periods. The central costs previously allocated to Clean Earth are now embedded within our Corporate segment as we continue to support Clean Earth under a transition services agreement.
In the third quarter, total revenue was $325 million, and adjusted EBITDA was $47 million, which is 21% higher than Q3 of last year. And again, we exceeded our expectations for the quarter. HE and Rail contributed equally to our earnings growth this quarter. Our Q3 adjusted loss per share was $0.16, and our unusual items in the quarter included $6 million of restructuring costs, consisting of $3 million of severance-related costs at HE and $3 million of third-party consulting fees linked to our internal improvement program. I should note that there will be some further restructuring costs recorded in Q4.
Our unusual items also included the $8 million rail gain related to the first payment we received from GBM under our asset transfer agreement, which we disclosed last quarter. And as noted in our earnings release, we expect to receive up to $34 million in additional payments from GBM in the coming quarters. Also, as we mentioned in yesterday's press release, we recorded a $12 million favorable adjustment in connection with the execution of the DB exit agreement. The gain relates to the release of performance bonds supporting the project, which we have previously accrued as a potential liability.
Adjusted free cash flow for the quarter was negative as anticipated and included the $8 million GBM payment I just mentioned. We expect our underlying cash flow performance to improve starting in Q4 and to accelerate as we move forward. So please turn to Slide 5 and our Harsco Environmental segment. Segment revenues totaled $273 million, an increase of 5% compared with the prior year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA totaled $50 million, which is 13% higher than the comparable quarter in 2025, and HE's EBITDA margin increased to over 18%.
The year-over-year earnings improvement reflects higher services and product volumes, better pricing as well as operational improvements at certain existing sites. Now these benefits were partially offset by some market conditions, higher incentive pay and foreign exchange translation headwinds. Customer steel output increased modestly year-over-year, and production levels were considerably weaker in the Middle East and in Turkey due to the ongoing conflict in that region, but these impacts were offset elsewhere. In Europe, a number of steel mills have announced plans to restart certain operations following the implementation of the new tariff quota scheme that was effective at the beginning of July of this year.
We provide services at some of these sites and expect to benefit from these plans in the coming quarters. Next, please turn to Slide 6 and our Rail business. Rail revenues totaled $52 million, which is lower than the prior year quarter. The change reflects lower equipment volumes amid soft market demand, which remains at a multi-decade low as well as the impact of exiting the DB and Network Rail contracts. Rail's adjusted EBITDA was $1 million in the quarter compared to an EBITDA loss of $4 million in the prior year.
This improvement reflects a more favorable mix of equipment and aftermarket sales, lower operating costs following recent manufacturing footprint and workforce changes, some of which related to the DB and Network Rail contract exits as well as LIFO cost of sales adjustments. Let me next turn to our outlook on Slide 7. We have raised our full year EBITDA guidance for both HE and Rail. For HE, our EBITDA range is now $180 million to $184 million compared with $170 million to $180 million previously. And for Rail, we now expect a loss range of $7 million to $10 million compared with the previous range of $19 million to $26 million -- these changes reflect benefits from our recent business improvement and efficiency actions as well as a modest increase in service levels at HE.
And for Rail, we are now also anticipating an increase in our aftermarket volumes, which is the direct result of our focused pursuit of this market opportunity in recent quarters. Our EBITDA guidance for the fourth quarter can be found on Slide 8. At the midpoint of its guidance range, Harsco Environmental performance is expected to be similar to the fourth quarter of 2025 as underlying business growth is offset by an operating tax credit in 2025 not repeating this year as well as certain market pressures in the Middle East. For Rail, volume growth in aftermarket and cost improvements are projected to benefit results compared to the prior year quarter.
Corporate costs are expected to be $5 million to $6 million in the fourth quarter, net of stock compensation expense. We expect our underlying free cash flow in Q4 to improve relative to the third quarter. Now this expectation excludes the approximately $73 million payment we made in October as a result of exiting the DB contract that [ Russell ] mentioned. That payment was in line with our accrual and in line with our expectations and as mentioned earlier, concludes our obligations related to the DB contract. We are also pleased to report that in October, we received a $5 million working capital final true-up payment from Veolia related to the Clean Earth sale.
Our net leverage remained at 1.9x at the end of Q3 as defined by our credit agreement. And you will recall that our bank covenant definitions limit the amount of cash that can be used in calculating net debt to $100 million. Now lastly, regarding our improvement program, which [ Russell ] discussed, we expect approximately $40 million of incremental benefits in addition to those realized in 2026. The benefit will roughly be split between HE and Rail as well as between 2027 and 2028. We are certainly pushing to realize these impacts sooner, but we see this as an appropriate view at the present time.
Some of these benefits come from simplifying our organizational structure and should have more immediate impacts, while others will take time, reflecting the complexity of implementing maintenance and operational changes across more than 100 sites globally in HE. To a lesser extent, the program also includes benefits in rail related to increased aftermarket penetration in 2027 and 2028. Now we'll provide more clarity on these details with our 2027 guidance that we will issue in February. Thanks, and I'll now hand the call back to the operator for Q&A.
Operator
Your first question comes from Rob Brown with Lake Street Capital Markets.
分析師問答
Robert Brown
Just wanted to follow up on the aftermarket focus. You had good progress starting -- starting this quarter, but in the quarter. What's sort of the view on the aftermarket kind of ramp? How much progress have you made there? And how much do you have to go to really get to where you want to be?
Russell Hochman
Rob, it's Russell. I think we've made some very good progress. I think there's more to go. I think the shift is really a reorientation of the team from its sort of legacy focus on new equipment as the primary focus and a realization that there's sort of a new opportunity to focus more on the aftermarket as its own sort of product category. And so I think we've separated these with new leadership, new organizational structure, separate P&L, bringing in new expertise, new life cycle aftermarket approach. And so obviously, the results speak for themselves. We may have taken our eye off that in the past. And so we think there's more runway there in terms of going after aftermarket. So we're very enthusiastic about the opportunity.
Peter Minan
Rob, it's Pete. We're early days, a simple answer. And I think the benefits we saw in Q3 were kind of largely related to quick wins and some real good opportunities that we saw. The real structural benefits, the longer-term benefits, which you'll see in 2027 and 2028 are going to be really related to some of the structural changes that we're putting in place today. So it's going to phase in. It's not going to be an overnight change, but we expect it to continue to be accretive over the next several quarters, actually through the end of 2028.
Robert Brown
And then good progress on getting the rail contracts sort of cleaned up on the DB side. What's sort of the next steps on that broader effort? I know you really reserved complete for what the ultimate charges are, but what's sort of the next steps in that effort?
Russell Hochman
Are you referring to Network Rail, Rob?
Robert Brown
Yes.
Russell Hochman
Network Rail. So yes, as I mentioned, we're having constructive discussions with them. We have a very long-standing relationship with them going back decades. We are still providing contracted services to them and that relationship is as good as ever. And they've reaffirmed that relationship continues to be very positive and the services continue to be very good. And all I can tell you at the moment is that the 2 sides are trying to work it out, right?
And so they're evaluating our offer as you can imagine as the national rail service provider, it's a big decision for them. They have a lot of stakeholders they need to speak with. So we are there when they need us. We are available to answer their questions. We are not spending anything. And so that's really what I can report at the moment. And so we put aside what we need to put aside for any kind of eventuality. But I would just say it's heading in a direction that we had hoped for.
And obviously, the recent news on Deutsche Bahn is evidence that we can work things out with our partners. I think the news yesterday that we successfully exited in a way that our customer will ultimately receive their equipment that the reputation of Harsco Rail remains very positive with this customer. And obviously, that we are getting paid for the assets kind of is evidence that we can work these things out, right? And so we're hopeful we can repeat that with Network Rail. But that's really what I can provide as an update at the moment.
Peter Minan
And Rob, it's Pete. Lest any uncertainty at all. The Deutsche Bahn contract is concluded. So we're -- it's entirely in our rearview mirror. We have nothing -- well, nothing further to do with respect to the contract. Frankly, the only accounting adjustments you're going to see are when we collect our payments from GBM next quarter and in early 2027, and those are positive cash flows and gains. So it's, as Russell said, extremely successful conclusion to a contract that has been creating a lot of uncertainty and questions for us over the years. So really happy about that.
Operator
Your next question comes from Larry Solow with CJS Securities.
Lawrence Solow
Good to see some progress on your initiatives. Congrats there. Just on the -- so on the -- curious on the DB settlement exit, is just the amount of cash outlay or the contractual settlement, is that -- it sounds like it's basically in line with your expectations, right? SBB, I'm just trying to run through them all. SBB, I believe that will be positive cash flow this year, right? So the only real dangling or potential -- I'm not saying it's negative, but where there's still some risk, I guess, is Network Rail. Is that correct? And can you just like run us through kind of -- I know you had, I think, like $200 million of cash reserve for all these contracts. Where does that kind of stand now? Can you kind of update us on just the numbers behind it?
Peter Minan
Yes, yes, sure. Larry, Pete. Good to hear from you. Yes, let me just break it into pieces. First of all, in the question of Deutsche Bahn, that actually -- the only thing we did in October was pay off the amount that we accrued in the exact amount to our -- basically refund the advance we got, which was $73 million. We paid that early October. So that's -- you'll see that in the Q4 cash activity. I mentioned that in my remarks, but that was completely consistent with what we accrued. There is no change. And as Russell mentioned, we had the cash set aside from that, and I'll come back to that in a second.
In the case of Network Rail, we are not spending any money. We've exited the contract. So we're not -- there's no activity at all until we reach an ultimate agreement with the company. So that's -- that we've got accrued, and I'll come back to the amount accrued in a second. SBB is cash positive -- net cash positive really more significantly in 2027 and 2028. But it's just -- it's something we're keeping because it's progressing quite well from here on out, and it's going to generate a meaningful amount of cash inflow over the next couple of years.
We had accrued roughly $185 million or so at the end of the quarter for all of these things. We won't get into specifics, but part of that will be settled by the $73 million payment I just mentioned related to DB that we've already spent. And then the rest of it is related to Network Rail and some other contracts, which we'll spend when we reach a negotiated settlement with Network Rail.
As far as cash, we had $280 million of cash on the balance sheet at the end of the quarter, $50 million of it was previously indicated as restricted. It's no longer restricted as of now. So that cash is what we had set aside plus another $25 million of cash collateral, if you recall, related to performance bonds, which is not shown as cash on the balance sheet. It's actually buried in other assets. So we have just under $300 million of cash kind of on the balance sheet that we had set aside to cover not only our normal working capital needs, but to deal with any and all possible scenarios that these exits could take.
Lawrence Solow
I appreciate all that color. And I know it's early days, but it sounds like if I just put the pieces all together between the exits of these UTV contracts and hopefully, some improvement in the domestic side. If we look out to '27, I know you don't want to give guidance yet, but is it fair to say that just on the rail side, cash flow could actually be positive or at least no longer negative?
Peter Minan
Yes. I think that's a fair comment, Rob.
Robert Brown
I mean...
Lawrence Solow
Okay. Great. Lastly, just on HE. It sounds like things are progressing mostly cost cutting and stuff. But you did mention, I guess, a little bit of a revenue increase. Is that more just volumes are roughly flat. I guess you got a little bit of benefit on the Eco product side. But are you just -- what's driving the revenue improvement volume decline? Is it just more ancillary services? Or what kind of drove that modest improvement? And it sounds like on the Europe side, no benefit yet, but perhaps some benefit next year.
Peter Minan
Yes. It's volumes, but also prices. We have some good price increases. So that helps. You recall that I mentioned that we're still seeing some pressure -- volume pressures in the Middle East because of the conflict there. That's -- those were largely offset by volume and price increases elsewhere in the business. In the case of Europe, you're absolutely right. We -- there are a number of sites that are in process now for restarting furnaces, for example, and to deal with the additional volumes that they expect to come in. We operate a number of those sites, and we expect to see the benefits largely in 2027, but we might see it a little bit in Q4.
Operator
This concludes our question-and-answer session. I would now like to turn the conference back over to Mr. Martin for any closing remarks. Please go ahead.
