  • The risk factors generally have been separated into the following groups: risks related to our business, risks related to our capital structure, risks related to our Manager, risks related to the spin-off, risks related to the Wheeling acquisition and risks related to our common stock.
  • Uncertainty and negative trends in general economic conditions in the United States and abroad, including significant tightening of credit markets and commodity price volatility, have created in the past and may continue to create difficult operating environments for owners and operators in the infrastructure industry.
  • Additionally, the worldwide military or geopolitical environment, including the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the conflicts in the Middle East and any related geopolitical or economic responses, U.S. federal government shutdowns, global macroeconomic effects of trade disputes and increased tariffs, such as those imposed, or that may be imposed, by the U.S., may put further upward or downward pressure on prices for such commodities.
  • In the past, a significant decline in oil prices has led to lower production and transportation budgets worldwide.
  • Factors that could lead to such oversupply include, without limitation: • general demand for the type of assets that we purchase; • general macroeconomic conditions, including market prices for commodities that our assets may serve; • geopolitical events, including war, prolonged armed conflict and acts of terrorism; • outbreaks of communicable diseases and natural disasters; • governmental regulation or economic trade or other policies, including as a result of changing trade policies and tariffs, including related uncertainty or the imposition of modified or additional tariffs, trade wars, barriers or restrictions, or threats of such actions; • interest rates; • the availability of credit; • restructurings and bankruptcies of companies in the industries in which we operate, including our customers; • manufacturer production levels and technological innovation; • manufacturers merging or exiting the industry or ceasing to produce certain asset types; • retirement and obsolescence of the assets that we own; • increases in supply levels of assets in the market due to the sale or merging of our customers; and • reintroduction of previously unused or dormant assets into the industries in which we operate.
  • In addition, our target returns are based on estimates and assumptions regarding a number of other factors, including, without limitation, holding periods, the absence of material adverse events affecting specific investments (which could include, without limitation, natural disasters, terrorism, social unrest or civil disturbances), general and local economic and market conditions, changes in law, taxation, regulation or governmental policies and changes in the geopolitical approach to infrastructure investment, either generally or in specific countries in which we may invest or seek to invest.
  • We may not generate a sufficient amount of cash or generate sufficient free cash flow to fund our operations or repay our and our subsidiaries’ indebtedness and preferred stock.
  • Our ability to make payments on our and our subsidiaries’ indebtedness and preferred stock as required depends on our and our subsidiaries’ ability to generate cash flow in the future.
  • If we or our subsidiaries do not generate sufficient free cash flow to satisfy our or our subsidiaries’ debt or preferred stock obligations, including interest payments and the payment of principal at maturity, we may have to undertake alternative financing plans, such as refinancing or restructuring our debt, selling assets, reducing or delaying capital investments or seeking to raise additional capital.
  • We cannot provide assurance that any refinancing would be possible, that any assets could be sold, or, if sold, of the timeliness and amount of proceeds realized from those sales, that additional financing could be obtained on acceptable terms, if at all, or that additional financing would be permitted under the terms of our various debt or preferred stock instruments then in effect.
  • Our inability to generate sufficient free cash flow to satisfy our and our subsidiaries’ debt and preferred stock obligations, or to refinance our and our subsidiaries’ obligations on commercially reasonable terms or on a timely basis, would materially affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
  • In addition, if we dispose of an asset for a price that is less than the depreciated book value of the asset on our balance sheet or if we determine that an asset’s value has been impaired, we will recognize a related charge in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and such charge could be material.
  • We believe that our rail operations are, and have been, in substantial compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
  • For instance, the STB’s recent proposal to modify its policy regarding forced reciprocal switching by rail carriers or other competitive access proposals, if adopted, could increase government involvement in railroad pricing, service and operations and significantly change the current federal regulatory framework of the railroad industry.
  • Such changes could have a significant negative impact on the Company’s ability to determine prices for rail services, meet service standards and could force a reduction in capital spending.
  • We may experience future catastrophic sudden or gradual releases into the environment from our trains or facilities or discover historical releases that were previously unidentified or not assessed.
  • Although our inspection and testing programs are designed to prevent, detect and address any such releases promptly, the liabilities resulting from any future releases into the environment from our assets, have the potential to substantially affect our business.
  • Our business is subject to evolving regulations regarding railcar design and the transportation of hazardous materials.
  • Following the 2023 East Palestine derailment, authorities have accelerated safety mandates, including the final transition to DOT-117 tank cars.
  • As of May 2025, legacy CPC-1232 cars are largely prohibited from crude and ethanol service, with a final deadline of May 1, 2029, for all other flammable liquids.
  • To mitigate the costs of retrofitting our fleet of railcars at Jefferson and the risks of stricter operational controls, we are increasingly focusing our business development on customers and commodities that do not involve the movement of hazardous materials.
  • Despite this shift, any additional federal or provincial mandates—such as real-time reporting requirements or speed restrictions—could still increase compliance costs.
  • Furthermore, railroad service disruptions due to labor disputes, mechanical failures, or extreme weather could adversely affect our operations and financial results.
  • Governments, investors, customers, employees and other stakeholders are increasingly focusing on corporate ESG practices and disclosures, and expectations in this area continue to evolve.
  • In addition, ESG laws and regulations are expanding mandatory disclosure, reporting and diligence requirements.
  • On the other hand, state attorneys general and other governmental authorities may take action against certain ESG policies or practices, and we may become subject to restrictions on ESG initiatives.
  • If we fail or are perceived to have failed to achieve previously announced initiatives or goals, accurately disclose our progress on such initiatives or goals or comply with various ESG and anti-ESG practices and regulations, our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely impacted.
  • International, political, and economic factors, events and conditions and the potential for worsening economic conditions or economic downturn, including as a result of recent geopolitical events and changing trade policies and tariffs, including related uncertainty or the imposition of modified or additional tariffs, trade wars, barriers or restrictions, or threats of such actions, may affect the volatility of fuel prices and supplies.
  • The Railroad segment faces competition from other railroads and other transportation providers.
  • The Railroad segment faces competition from other railroads, motor carriers, ships, barges, and pipelines.
  • Restrictive covenants in our and our subsidiaries’ debt and preferred stock instruments may adversely affect us.
  • The instruments governing our and our subsidiaries’ outstanding debt and preferred stock contain, certain restrictive covenants that limit our ability to engage in activities that may be in our long-term best interests.
  • For example, these covenants significantly restrict our and certain of our subsidiaries’ ability to: • incur indebtedness; • issue equity interests of the Company ranking pari passu with, or senior in priority to, our Series B Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock; • issue equity interests of any subsidiary of the Company; • pay dividends or make other distributions; • repurchase or redeem capital stock or subordinated indebtedness and make investments; • create liens; • incur dividend or other payment restrictions affecting the Company and certain of its subsidiaries; • transfer or sell assets, including capital stock of subsidiaries; • merge or consolidate with other entities or transfer all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; • take actions to cause the Company to cease to be treated as a domestic C corporation for U.S. tax purposes; • consummate a change in control without concurrently redeeming the Series A Preferred Units and warrants of FIP RR Holdings LLC; • amend, terminate or permit the assignment or subcontract of, or the transfer of any rights or obligations under, the Management Agreement, in order to alter the (i) scope of services in any material respect, (ii) the compensation, fee payment or other economic terms relating to the Management Agreement, or (iii) the scope of matters expressly required to be approved by the Independent Directors (as such term is defined in the Management Agreement) pursuant to the Management Agreement; • engage in certain intercompany transactions; • engage in certain prohibited business activities; and • enter into transactions with affiliates.
  • In addition, certain other debt instruments (including the Series 2020A Bonds, Series 2021 Bonds and Series 2024 Bonds, the EB-5 loan agreements, the Long Ridge Acquiom Loan, the RailCo Revolver and the June 2025 Jefferson Credit Agreement) and the Series A Preferred Units and warrants of FIP RR Holdings LLC include restrictive covenants that may materially limit our, or our subsidiaries’, ability to repay other debt or require us to achieve and maintain compliance with specified financial ratios.
  • In addition, a portion of the Long Ridge site was redeveloped as a combined cycle gas-fired electric generating facility, and other portions will likely be redeveloped in the future.
  • We have material customer concentration with respect to the Jefferson Terminal and Railroad segments, with a limited number of customers accounting for a material portion of our revenues.
  • We earned approximately 10%, 13% and 12% of our revenue for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 from one customer within the Jefferson Terminal segment, respectively, and 32%, 50% and 51% of our revenue from one customer within the Railroad segment during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
  • As of December 31, 2025, accounts receivable from three customers within the Jefferson Terminal and Railroad segments represented 41% of total accounts receivable, net.
  • We have, from time to time, experienced cybersecurity threats to our data and systems, including malware and computer virus attacks, any of which could be enhanced or facilitated by artificial intelligence.
  • Our officers and other individuals who perform services for us (other than Jefferson Terminal, Repauno, Long Ridge, Transtar, Aleon and Gladieux, Wheeling, KRS, Clean Planet, FYX, and CarbonFree employees) are employees of our Manager or other Fortress entities.

  • The risk factors generally have been separated into the following groups: risks related to our business, risks related to our capital structure, risks related to our Manager, risks related to the spin-off and risks related to our common stock.
  • The historical financial information included in this report may not be indicative of the results we would have achieved as a separate stand-alone company and are not a reliable indicator of our future performance or results.
  • We did not operate as a separate, stand-alone company for the entirety of the historical periods presented in the financial information included in this report.
  • During such periods, the financial information included in this report has been derived from FTAI’s historical financial statements.
  • Therefore, the financial information in this report does not necessarily reflect what our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows would have been had we been a separate, stand-alone public company prior to our spin-off from FTAI.
  • This is primarily a result of the following factors: • the financial results in this report do not reflect all of the expenses we will incur as a public company; • the working capital requirements and capital for general corporate purposes for our assets were satisfied prior to the spin-off as part of FTAI’s corporate-wide cash management policies.
  • FTAI is not required, and does not intend, to provide us with funds to finance our working capital or other cash requirements, so we may need to obtain additional financing from banks, through public offerings or private placements of debt or equity securities, strategic relationships or other arrangements; and • our cost structure, management, financing and business operations will be significantly different as a result of operating as an independent public company.
  • These changes result in increased costs, including, but not limited to, fees paid to our Manager, legal, accounting, compliance and other costs associated with being a public company with equity securities traded on Nasdaq.
  • Uncertainty and negative trends in general economic conditions in the United States and abroad, including significant tightening of credit markets and commodity price volatility, historically have created difficult operating environments for owners and operators in the infrastructure industry.
  • Additionally, the worldwide military or political environment, including the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the conflicts in the Middle East and any related political or economic responses, global macroeconomic effects of trade disputes and increased tariffs, such as those imposed, or that may be imposed, by the U.S., may put further upward or downward pressure on prices for such commodities.In the past, a significant decline in oil prices has led to lower production and transportation budgets worldwide.

  • In addition, our target returns are based on estimates and assumptions regarding a number of other factors, including, without limitation, holding periods, the absence of material adverse events affecting specific investments (which could include, without limitation, natural disasters, terrorism, social unrest or civil disturbances), general and local economic and market conditions, changes in law, taxation, regulation or governmental policies and changes in the political approach to infrastructure investment, either generally or in specific countries in which we may invest or seek to invest.
  • We may not generate a sufficient amount of cash or generate sufficient free cash flow to fund our operations or repay our indebtedness.
  • Our ability to make payments on our indebtedness as required depends on our ability to generate cash flow in the future.
  • If we do not generate sufficient free cash flow to satisfy our debt obligations, including interest payments and the payment of principal at maturity, we may have to undertake alternative financing plans, such as refinancing or restructuring our debt, selling assets, reducing or delaying capital investments or seeking to raise additional capital.
  • We cannot provide assurance that any refinancing would be possible, that any assets could be sold, or, if sold, of the timeliness and amount of proceeds realized from those sales, that additional financing could be obtained on acceptable terms, if at all, or that additional financing would be permitted under the terms of our various debt instruments then in effect.
  • Our inability to generate sufficient free cash flow to satisfy our debt obligations, or to refinance our obligations on commercially reasonable terms or on a timely basis, would materially affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
  • In addition, if we dispose of an asset for a price that is less than the depreciated book value of the asset on our balance sheet or if we determine that an asset’s value has been impaired, we will recognize a related charge in our Consolidated and Combined Consolidated Statements of Operations and such charge could be material.
  • We believe that our rail operations are in substantial compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
  • For instance, more recently proposed bills such as the “Rail Shipper Fairness Act of 2020,” or competitive access proposals under consideration by the STB, if adopted, could increase government involvement in railroad pricing, service and operations and significantly change the federal regulatory framework of the railroad industry.
  • Several of the changes under consideration could have a significant negative impact on the Company’s ability to determine prices for rail services, meet service standards and could force a reduction in capital spending.
  • We may experience future catastrophic sudden or gradual releases into the environment from our facilities or discover historical releases that were previously unidentified or not assessed.
  • Although our inspection and testing programs are designed to prevent, detect and address any such releases promptly, the liabilities incurred due to any future releases into the environment from our assets, have the potential to substantially affect our business.
  • In May 2015, the DOT issued new production standards and operational controls for rail tank cars used in “High-Hazard Flammable Trains” (i.e., trains carrying commodities such as ethanol, crude oil and other flammable liquids).
  • Similar standards have been adopted in Canada.
  • The new standard applies for all cars manufactured after October 1, 2015, and existing tank cars must be retrofitted within the next three to eight years.
  • The applicable operational controls include reduced speed restrictions, and maximum lengths on trains carrying these materials.
  • Retrofitting our tank cars will be required under these new standards to the extent we elect to move certain flammable liquids in the future.
  • While we may be able to pass some of these costs on to our customers, there may be costs that we cannot pass on to them.
  • We continue to monitor the railcar regulatory landscape and remain in close contact with railcar suppliers and other industry stakeholders to stay informed of railcar regulation rulemaking developments.
  • It is unclear how these regulations will impact the crude-by-rail industry, and any such impact would depend on a number of factors that are outside of our control.
  • If, for example, overall volume of crude-by-rail decreases, or if we do not have access to a sufficient number of compliant cars to transport required volumes under our existing contracts, our operations may be negatively affected.
  • This may lead to a decrease in revenues and other consequences.
  • Governments, investors, customers, employees and other stakeholders are increasingly focusing on corporate ESG practices and disclosures, and expectations in this area are rapidly evolving.
  • In addition, new ESG laws and regulations are expanding mandatory disclosure, reporting and diligence requirements.
  • If we fail or are perceived to have failed to achieve previously announced initiatives or goals or to accurately disclose our progress on such initiatives or goals, our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely impacted.
  • International, political, and economic factors, events and conditions, including as a result of recent geopolitical events and changes to trade policies or tariffs, may affect the volatility of fuel prices and supplies.
  • Transtar faces competition from other railroads and other transportation providers.
  • Transtar faces competition from other railroads, motor carriers, ships, barges, and pipelines.
  • Restrictive covenants in our debt agreements and the certificates of designations for our Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock and our newly issued Series B Preferred Stock may adversely affect us.
