When asked how many employees were laid off from Wabash and from what locations around the United States a representative for the company said they could confirm only that Wabash "is rightsizing labor to better align with demand." The news of layoffs follows a recent round of layoffs in late March, when 85 employees were let go from the company. A spokesperson for Wabash said the company was not required to file a federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification said in the earnings call that about 95% of the company's materials are sourced domestically Yeagy said that high percentage shields the company from potential volatility and trade barriers related to tariffs while also allowing the company to manufacture with speed and reliability But Yeagy said that doesn't make the company immune from the secondary effect of tariffs "Tariffs on raw materials like steel and aluminum can create pricing pressure even from domestic suppliers uncertainty tends to inhibit our customers' ability to deploy capital for equipment," Yeagy said companies aren't posturing to make speculative bets in this environment There's an increased willingness to preserve cash until we have greater clarity." Despite what Yeagy said Wabash is hearing from its customers there was still a bright spot to be had in the current tariff situation "It seems clear that the current administration has a goal of revitalization of the U.S That would be a significant structural tailwind for us because manufacturing carries an outsized impact on freight activity," Yeagy said "More domestic production means a multiplier on freight moves and more demand for exactly the kinds of solutions Wabash offers." Keslin said the level of tariff-related uncertainty in the business environment has been a constraint on Wabash's customers in the short term leading the company to update its guidance to "fully read through the impact of this heightened uncertainty on our financial outlook." we have not seen the level of order flow we had previously anticipated," Keslin said "and given prevailing uncertainty combined with the importance of seasonal timing to annual order flows we believe it's prudent to adjust our outlook accordingly." Because the first quarter resulted in a higher cost structure Wabash believes the organization is now better situated to manage the remainder of 2025 with no anticipation for weakness seen like what was experienced in the first-quarter financial "While 2025 is shaping up to be a more difficult year than anyone assumed during our last earnings call and we're taking the necessary actions to reduce costs and we structure our liquidity position to be able to withstand these experiences," Keslin said "We've also seen what follows cycle trough which is typically an up cycle that exceeds expectations and we will be ready to capitalize on this once tariff uncertainty eventually clears way for freight markets to improve and businesses to regain the necessary level of clarity to increase capital investments."

Wabash shipped 6,290 trailers in Q1 “We’re running our downturn playbook on transportation solutions to take costs out where necessary to align with near term demand conditions,” Yeagy said As a result of those headwinds, Wabash has reduced its full-year revenue outlook to $1.8 billion and decreased its earnings estimate to a loss between 85 cents to 35 cents per share. At the beginning of the year the company anticipated roughly $2 billion in revenues in 2025 and full-year earnings of 85 cents and $1.05 per share On the flip side, quarterly revenue grew in its parts and services segment, and Yeagy highlighted the continued expansion of Wabash’s trailers as a service initiative In addition to the parts and services growth Wabash sees some potential upside to tariffs as its manufacturing exposure is limited and about 95% of its materials are sourced domestically He said that while policy may impact customers’ spending in the near term manufacturing would be “significant structural tailwind” for freight activity “More domestic production means a multiplier on freight moves more trailers and more demand for exactly the kinds of solutions Wabash offers,” Yeagy added Get the free daily newsletter read by industry experts Robinson and ITS Logistics are turning to the technology to improve freight matching Plan your work travel this year with this list of events that bring trucking stakeholders to the same place Want to share a company announcement with your peers The free newsletter covering the top industry headlines Volunteers fanned out across the Wabash Trace Nature Trail for cleanup and repair efforts in the wake of an EF-1 tornado that roared through parts of Fremont and Page counties April 17th (Shenandoah) -- Volunteers are helping a popular KMAland recreational destination recover following the April 17th tornadoes Portions of the Wabash Trace Nature Trail were impassable for two days after a one-mile stretch of the trail between Shenandoah and Imogene suffered heavy damage from the EF-1 tornado rolling through parts of Fremont and Page counties Speaking on KMA's "Morning Line" program Friday morning Wabash Trace Director Becca Castle Laughlin says other parts of the trace were hammered by high winds "There was also significant damage to the north and south of that (area)," said Laughlin "just from trees that were either broken or knocked down just from the winds that came with the thunderstorm that affected the area "Right in the middle of that section is the Walnut Creek Bridge The railing for about half of the entire bridge on both sides was damaged from just the sheer force of the winds that came through that night." Laughlin says at least one trace user had a close call that evening "There was a walker who was actually camping in Imogene that evening," she said "She was able to call somebody for shelter that night she picked up her journey the next morning again and she was able to navigate her way through a lot of it at least to continue her hike all the way to Blanchard the trail was closed completely for two days." Laughlin credits a "small but mighty" volunteer crew and a skid loader with clearing debris she says repairs continue around some rough areas of the trail "They have the railing all up," said Laughlin We do encourage people to use caution still because they're still working on repairs where the integrity of the railing was compromised There are some materials on the bridge out there You can hear the full interview with Becca Castle Laughlin here: we attempt to be accurate in our reporting please contact us by emailing kmaradio@kmaland.com Email notifications are only sent once a day Your browser is out of date and potentially vulnerable to security risks.We recommend switching to one of the following browsers: Thanks for visiting Thanks for visiting Soon-to-be Wabash College graduate Mawuli Nevis ’25 was named the 2025 Arthur Ashe Jr Wrestling Sports Scholar of the Year by Diverse Issues in Higher Education magazine is also a semifinalist for the Arthur Ashe Jr making him the second Wabash student-athlete to earn national distinction from the publication in the last three years A four-year letterwinner for the Wabash wrestling team He qualified for the NCAA Division III Wrestling Championships in March at 165 pounds He was named a Scholar All-American by the National Wrestling Coaches Association in each of the last three seasons “Despite the demanding time commitments of athletics I’ve always made it a priority to give back to those around me Through organizations like the Global Health Initiative/Public Health Organization and my fraternity I’ve had the opportunity to use my skills to serve both the Wabash campus and the broader community,” said Nevis “Being named a semifinalist for this award is a true honor not a destination.’ This recognition serves as meaningful feedback a reminder that I’m on the right path toward becoming the kind of citizen I strive to be.” Nevis has held multiple positions of leadership within his fraternity a group that promotes the benefits of philanthropy among students and alumni He helped raise funds for the American Legion Post 72's memorial park construction and planted bushes and flowers to aid with completion of the park he is a member of the community service committee of the Malcolm X Institute of Black Studies which contributes largely to the organization’s community outreach He has served for three years as a member of the LOCKR Lab research team at Wabash College where he conducts molecular genetics research in a National Science Foundation-funded lab Nevis is a member of the Wabash Global Health Initiative and served an internship in Summer 2024 at the McGovern Medical School in Houston Sports Scholars have demonstrated stellar athletic ability and academic performance (3.5 cumulative GPA or higher) in addition to a commitment to community service and student leadership The award is inspired by tennis legend Arthur Ashe Jr.'s dedication to education as well as his love for the game of tennis Nevis is the 10th Wabash student-athlete to be named an Arthur Ashe Jr We sat down with musicians in the Wabash community to hear their experiences working in or around the industry they make up the ever-changing band of Wabash College Gordon Bonham '80 Q: Tell me about yourself.I graduated from Wabash in 1980 with a double major in biology and philosophy—the perfect pair for a musician I've been a full-time musician since the mid-80s Q: What style of music do you play/perform Any instrument?I play all types of blues: Chicago I also play a bit of folk music and classic rock but I also do projects with various musicians and regularly play solo.  Q: How did Wabash foster your love for music?I learned at Wabash that I could do anything if I put my mind to it and if I worked hard at it Q: What song/genre would you recommend to a friend?I would recommend any of the musicians from the fine music community in Indianapolis To listen to more of Bonham's work:https://gordonbonham.com/about/   Aaron Nicely '06Q: Tell me about yourself. While at Wabash I earned the Hockenberry Summer Internship that set me on a long and winding career journey to where I am today: a product manager for a technology company The Stampede String Band just released our fifth album titled "Thunder from the River."

Operating profit amounted to $314.6 million as the company recognized a $342 million gain in connection with the reduction of the 2024 legal verdict. Without the adjustment operating loss was $27.4 million for the quarter "While the reduction in this verdict was a positive development in our efforts to bring this matter to a more reasonable conclusion highlighted by our recent filing of notice of appeal,” said Brent Yeagy non-GAAP adjusted EPS came in below our expectations amid a general weakening in market conditions “We have since reduced direct labor to align cost with market conditions While tariff-related uncertainty has caused customers to delay equipment investment decisions it's important to highlight the growth in our Parts & Services segment which we see as an important longer-term source of stability for our portfolio." total Company backlog stood at approximately $1.2 billion a sequential increase of 5% from year-end 2024 and a decrease of 32% compared to the first quarter of 2024 as new order activity remained modest the company reduced its revenue outlook to roughly $1.8 billion compared to $1.95 billion in 2024 and $2.54 billion in 2023 Transportation Solutions generated net sales of $346.8 million a decrease of 26.3% compared to the same quarter of the previous year Operating loss for the quarter amounted to $9.8 million Parts & Services' net sales for the first quarter were $52 million an increase of 5.5% compared to the prior year quarter Operating income for the quarter amounted to $6.9 million compared to 8,500 trailers for the period last year Truck body shipments for the quarter were 3,000 “Wabash's manufacturing footprint and our supply base are both heavily levered to the United States positioning us to avoid direct impact from tariffs second order tariff effects have been meaningful in the short-term as customers have reduced capital expenditure plans until their own customers' have greater clarity," Yeagy said "As a result of the weaker than anticipated first quarter and softer outlook we believe it's important for the medium term to point out that demand in 2025 is currently projected to undercut replacement levels resulting in an aging of the fleet which will require catch-up in coming years we believe the administration's activities to leverage a revitalization of U.S manufacturing could be meaningfully positive for trucking and specifically trailer demand."

zukünftigen Aufholbedarf bei der Flotte hindeutet Wabash reported significant Q1 losses with reduced guidance despite a one-time legal gain artificially boosting GAAP results Wabash's Q1 2025 results reveal substantial operational challenges beneath a misleading headline While GAAP figures show $315 million operating income ($5.36 EPS) these numbers are artificially inflated by a $342 million one-time legal gain The core business performance is concerning—Non-GAAP adjusted operating loss of $27.4 million (-7.2% margin) and adjusted EPS of -$0.58 Revenue of $380.9 million fell 26.1% year-over-year and missed the company's own prior outlook range declined 26.3% to $346.8 million with an operating loss of $9.8 million Only the smaller Parts & Services unit showed growth up 5.5% to $52 million with 13.3% operating margin Management has reduced full-year guidance to $1.8 billion in revenue with Non-GAAP adjusted EPS between -$0.85 and -$0.35 Total backlog of $1.2 billion reveals mixed signals—up 5% sequentially but down 32% year-over-year—indicating continued order weakness The company has taken steps to address inflated labor costs but cites tariff-related uncertainty as a significant headwind causing customers to delay equipment investments This resulted in sharp volume declines with trailer shipments falling to 6,290 units (from 8,500) and truck bodies to 3,000 (from 3,690) Wabash's results reflect severe transportation equipment market contraction with 2025 demand below fleet replacement levels The Q1 results highlight a deepening cyclical downturn in the transportation equipment sector Trailer shipments plummeted 26% to 6,290 units while truck body deliveries dropped 18.7% to 3,000 units year-over-year This production decline speaks to deeper structural issues beyond normal market fluctuations Most significant is management's assessment that 2025 demand will undercut fleet replacement levels forcing transportation operators to extend equipment lifecycles This creates a classic replacement cycle dynamic—today's deferred purchases accumulate into future demand that will eventually require addressing potentially creating stronger recovery dynamics when market conditions improve The divergence between equipment segments reveals typical recessionary transportation market behavior: new equipment purchases (Transportation Solutions) face steep declines while aftermarket services show resilience (5.5% growth in Parts & Services) operators prioritize maintaining existing assets rather than capital-intensive fleet expansion Tariff uncertainty creates a particularly challenging environment Despite Wabash's primarily US-based manufacturing footprint second-order effects are materializing as customers delay capital expenditures until they understand implications for their own customer base This uncertainty loop creates a demand vacuum that appears to be worsening despite the company's limited direct tariff exposure The 32% year-over-year backlog reduction to $1.2 billion confirms persistent hesitancy among fleet operators though the modest 5% sequential improvement offers a potential early stabilization signal The market faces significant hurdles before recovery but fleet aging dynamics indicate this contraction is creating future replacement demand 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wabash

College President Scott Feller has announced a $14.7 million gift that will continue the work of the Stephenson Institute for Classical Liberalism including Christopher '87 and Jamie Stephenson and Shawn '98 and Morgan Stephenson will build on an already robust and successful record of programming that produces scholarship and coordinates educational and research programming in the intellectual tradition of classical liberalism Launched with a $10.6 million gift from the Stephenson family in October 2021 the Institute has become a strong presence on Wabash’s campus through public presentations and summer programming for college students to study critical ideas at the intersection of the liberal arts and classical liberalism “As one of the premier private colleges in the United States Wabash is a vibrant institution deeply committed to providing a classical liberal arts education to the young men of our nation,” said President Feller “While we are fast approaching our 200th anniversary Wabash is also an innovative and dynamic place—preparing our graduates to meet the needs of a pluralistic society The Stephenson Institute helps us do exactly that.” has embraced the classical liberal tradition with a focus on individual liberty and a free society investigating enduring questions such as: What are the political and social conditions necessary for individual liberty to thrive What are the pressing threats and obstacles to human freedom and flourishing in the fast-changing modern world How can freedom and prosperity be better promoted and protected now and into the future?  “The Stephenson Institute complements and builds on Wabash’s strong foundational legacy and role within the American classical liberal tradition,” said Dr “We have fast solidified the Institute and Wabash as a major opportunity hub for classical liberal intellectual pursuits at the undergraduate level The Stephensons’ extraordinary generosity will help the Institute be recognized as the premier undergraduate-focused institute of its kind in the nation Goals for the new funding include continuing to strengthen and expand existing student-focused programs including

Central Bank was not a task I expected but is one that I will forever be grateful for,” he said “We aspire for Wabash and the Stephenson Institute to be viewed as among the most serious and vibrant opportunities for undergraduate men to study freedom and for freshly minted Ph.D.s to start their careers by pursuing research and teaching here at Wabash,” added Dr Grounded in a nearly two-century tenure of liberal-arts higher education in Indiana, Wabash’s Stephenson Institute draws on a long tradition of classical-liberal teaching was a passionate advocate for thinkers and writers who best exemplified the idea of liberty Goodrich also went on to found Indiana’s Liberty Fund which “encourages the study of the ideal of a society of free and responsible individuals.” Ben Rogge Professor of Economics and Dean of the College at Wabash was a highly regarded scholar of classical liberalism who wrote and spoke broadly on the classical liberal tradition during his 31-year teaching career from 1949 through 1980 The Stephenson Institute is housed in a beautifully renovated home directly across from the main entrance to the Wabash campus Game Recap: Baseball | 4/16/2025 8:52:00 PM Thanks for visiting Thanks for visiting Gage Businger feels that his Wabash College journey has been transformational What started as a chance to play football turned into an experience that sharpened his skills Businger arrived at Wabash in August of 2021 as a student-athlete hoping to make an impact as a defensive back he realized that football wasn’t in his future and tried to figure out who he was outside of the game “It was difficult because that’s all I had known — being a student-athlete,” recalled the rhetoric major and business minor I had to attain a different identity.” That shift allowed him to focus on academics in a way he had never done before Businger found himself captivated by the study of communication and persuasion. He enjoyed the new challenge of engaging with texts and ideas, and learning to analyze, present, and advocate “I like to dive into things,” he said “I’ve spent who knows how many hours in the library preparing for class or a presentation well in advance Rhetoric offered me a way to do this through established methods It’s helped to organize my approach to learning.” Rhetoric Professor Jeff Drury remembered Businger’s work from his Reasoning and Advocacy class where his final project advocating for wind farms in Montgomery County in a video stood out thoughtful student who seeks to provide meaningful contributions,” Drury said “His research and advocacy skills are exceptional I was so impressed with the quality of the research and the effective vocal delivery that I have used his project as a model for other students.” Businger appreciates the liberal arts approach at Wabash that allowed him to explore subjects beyond his major there can be a ton of pressure to focus solely on a major and minor,” he explained you’re pushed to take classes that challenge you to think outside the box.” One example was a course Businger took in jazz history he grew to appreciate the cultural and historical significance of riverboat jazz His dive into the subject led to a presentation at the 2024 Celebration of Student Research It was an experience that not only strengthened his public speaking skills “It opened my eyes and ears,” he said Experiences outside the classroom provided more opportunity to grow and find a career path He’s long had an interest in motor sports and has been the leader of the motor sports club on campus an IMSA sports car racing team in Indianapolis which gave him the ability to apply the skills he learned in a real-world setting He handled the team’s social media efforts and worked on sponsorship activation for races in places like Wisconsin “It was a great experience to expand their story and share it with a broader audience,” said the Monticello native. “I love that racing is such a team sport we’re all trying to save tenths of seconds on each lap. Every detail matters The experience went so well that he hopes to pursue motorsports communications as a career after graduation “I feel more mature and prepared for the professional world than I ever imagined,” he continued “I’ve learned to take initiative and to build relationships both personally and professionally.” Similar to his experiences with Little Giant football “Everyone goes to class in these halls “There isn’t a lot of differentiation on a small campus so you are able to form really strong relationships I like the feeling of being a part of a team We have similar goals and share in each other’s successes.” From a freshman unsure of his path to a senior with confidence Businger is proud of who he’s become in these last four years.  “I’ve refined my skills at being a friend “I didn’t know what I was capable of before Wabash Game Recap: Lacrosse | 4/9/2025 8:50:00 PM Thanks for visiting Thanks for visiting
