ITEM 1.01 – Conflicts Minerals Disclosure and Report
Introduction:
Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies Corporation, doing business as Wabtec Corporation, is a Delaware corporation with headquarters at 1001 Air Brake Avenue in Wilmerding, Pennsylvania. Our telephone number is 412-825-1000, and our website is located at www.wabtec.com. All references to “we”, “our”, “us”, the “Company” and “Wabtec” refer to Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies Corporation and its subsidiaries. Westinghouse Air Brake Company (“WABCO”) was formed in 1990 when it acquired certain assets and operations from American Standard, Inc., now known as Trane (“Trane”). In 1999, WABCO merged with MotivePower Industries, Inc. (“MotivePower”) and adopted the name Wabtec.
Today, Wabtec is one of the world’s largest providers of value-added, technology-based equipment and services for the global rail industry. We believe we hold approximately a 50% market share in North America for our primary braking-related equipment and a leading position in North America for most of our other product lines. Our highly engineered products, which are intended to enhance safety, improve productivity and reduce maintenance costs for customers, can be found on virtually all U.S. locomotives, freight cars, subway cars and buses, and on many of these vehicles around the world. In 2014, the Company had sales of approximately $3.04 billion and net income of about $351.7 million. In 2014 sales of aftermarket parts and services represented about 61% of total sales, while sales to customers outside of the U.S. accounted for about 50% of total sales.
We provide our products and services through two principal business segments, the Freight Segment and the Transit Segment, both of which have different market characteristics and business drivers.
The Freight Segment primarily manufactures and services components for new and existing locomotive and freight cars, supplies railway electronics, positive train control equipment, signal design and engineering services, builds switcher locomotives, rebuilds freight locomotives and provides heat exchangers and cooling systems for rail and other industrial markets. Customers include large, publicly traded railroads, leasing companies, manufacturers of original equipment such as locomotives and freight cars, and utilities. As discussed previously, demand in the freight market is primarily driven by rail traffic, and deliveries of new locomotives and freight cars. In 2014, the Freight Segment accounted for 57% of our total sales, with about 75% of its sales in North America and the remainder to international customers. In 2014, slightly more than half of the Freight Segment’s sales were in aftermarket.
The Transit Segment primarily manufactures and services components for new and existing passenger transit vehicles, typically subway cars and buses, builds new commuter locomotives and refurbishes subway cars. Customers include public transit authorities and municipalities, leasing companies, and manufacturers of subway cars and buses around the world. As discussed previously, demand in the transit market is primarily driven by government funding at all levels and passenger ridership. In 2014, the Transit Segment accounted for 43% of our total sales, with about 45% of its sales in North America and the remainder to international customers. About two-thirds of the Transit Segment’s sales are in the aftermarket with the remainder in the original equipment market.
Following is a summary of our leading product lines in both aftermarket and original equipment across both of our business segments:
Specialty Products & Electronics:
| • | Positive Train Control equipment and electronically controlled pneumatic braking products |

The following is Wabtec’s Conflict Mineral Policy, which can be found at: http://www.wabtec.com/documents/governance/WABTEC_CONFLICT_MINERALS_POLICY_v1.pdf.
Wabtec Conflict Minerals Policy
Wabtec Corporation (“Wabtec”) has developed and implemented this policy to provide guidance concerning the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, Section 1502. The matters covered in the policy are of the utmost importance to Wabtec and are essential to the Company’s ability to conduct business in a global marketplace at the highest ethical and legal standards.
The ongoing conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (“DRC”) is fueled in part from the trade of “conflict minerals”, which are defined as tantalum, tin, tungsten, and gold or any of their derivatives.
Wabtec is committed to avoiding the use of conflict minerals that directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the DRC or adjoining countries.
Wabtec is committed to complying with the requirements of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, Section 1502, which requires companies to inquire into the origin of conflict minerals in their supply chains and report on the reasonable inquiry or due diligence they conduct to determine whether their purchase supported armed groups in the DRC.
Page 3 of 13
Wabtec does not procure minerals directly and only a fraction of the world’s minerals originate from the DRC, but we are incorporating the principles of this policy into our supplier contracts and will work with our suppliers to increase transparency, ensuring responsible procurement by our suppliers and sub-suppliers, and to drive positive channels throughout the supply chain.
Wabtec suppliers of products that contain tantalum, tin, tungsten or gold which is necessary for production or functionality of the product will be expected to perform due diligence and provide the mineral source country.
Wabtec reserves the right to conduct audits to ensure our supply chain remains compliant with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, Section 1502. If Wabtec identifies a reasonable risk that a supplier is violating our commitments set forth in this policy, we require them to commit to and implement a corrective action plan within a reasonable timeline and will conduct on-site assessments as necessary.
Section 1 – Conflict Minerals Disclosures
In accordance with the execution of this policy, Wabtec has concluded in good faith that during 2014, with respect to any product manufactured or contracted to be manufactured by Wabtec; that Wabtec is unable to definitively determine after performing “reasonable country of origin inquiries” whether or not tin, tantalum, tungsten, or gold (“3TG”) included in Wabtec products originate from the Democratic Republic of the Congo or adjoining countries (“DRC”).
Wabtec’s reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) employed measures to determine whether the necessary 3TG in Wabtec products originate from the Covered Countries (“DRC”). Wabtec’s primary means of determining country of origin of necessary 3TG was by conducting supply-chain survey with direct suppliers utilizing the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition and The Global e-Sustainability Initiative Template (“EICC/GeSI Conflict Minerals Reporting Template”).
A summary of all supply-chain survey respondents can be found on our Conflict Minerals Report.

Exhibit 1.01
Conflict Minerals Report of Wabtec Corporation
In Accord with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
This is the Conflict Minerals Report of Wabtec for the calendar year 2014. Numerous terms in this Report are defined in Rule 13p-1 and Form SD and the reader is referred to those sources and to 1934 Act Release No. 34-67716 (August 22, 2012) for such definitions.
In accord with Rule 13p-1, Wabtec undertook due diligence to seek to determine whether the necessary 3TG in the Specialty Products and Electronics; Brake Products; Remanufacturing, Overhaul and Build; and Transit Products business segments originated from the DRC and adjoining countries. Wabtec designed its due diligence measures to be in conformity, in all material respects, with the recognized OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas (“OECD Framework”).
As a result of our due diligence efforts Wabtec has concluded in good faith that during 2014, with respect to any product manufactured or contracted to be manufactured by Wabtec; that Wabtec is unable to definitively determine whether or not the 3TG included in our products originated from the Covered Countries.
This Report has not been subject to an independent private sector audit as allowed under Rule 13p-1, which provides a temporary accommodation for the first two reporting years.
Wabtec’s due diligence measures included:
| • | Conducted a supply-chain survey with direct suppliers using the EICC/GeSI Conflict Minerals Reporting Template to identify the smelters and refiners who contribute refined 3TG to Wabtec products. |
| • | The identified smelters and refiners resulting from the supply chain survey were compared to the facilities found on the Conflict-Free Smelter Program (“CFSP”) list published by the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative (“CFSI”). |
| • | Conflict minerals records are retained per our record retention protocol. |
| • | Standard language regarding conflict minerals has been integrated into our supplier contracts ensuring due diligence participation and compliance. |
As a result of Wabtec’s due diligence efforts, we have identified and obtained sourcing information on 237 of the smelters, refiners and distributors who contribute to our Specialty and Electronic; Brake Products; Remanufacturing, Overhaul and Build; and Transit Products business segments. Of the 237 identified smelters, refiners and distributors, 140 are found on the CFSP as of May 29, 2015. The following is a summary of all supply-chain survey respondents.

On the basis of the due diligence measures described above, Wabtec is unable to definitively determine whether or not the 3TG contained in various components/materials which contribute to Specialty Products and Electronic; Brake Products; Remanufacturing, Overhaul and Build; and Transit Products business segments originated from the DRC or adjoining countries. Wabtec is making this determination because it does not have sufficient information from suppliers or other sources to conclude whether the necessary 3TG originated in the Covered Countries and, whether the necessary 3TG were from recycle or scrap sources.
Further, Wabtec as a purchaser is many steps removed from the mining of the conflict minerals; Wabtec does not purchase raw ore or unrefined tin, tantalum, tungsten or gold, and does no purchasing in the Covered Countries. The origin of 3TG cannot be determined with any certainty once the raw ores are smelted, refined and converted to ingots, bullion or other 3TG containing derivatives. The smelters and refiners are consolidating points for raw ore and are in the best position in the total supply chain to know the origin of the ores.
Wabtec will undertake the following steps during the next compliance periods to improve the due diligence conducted to further mitigate the risk that its necessary 3TG do not benefit armed groups, including:
| • | Utilize Supply Chain Compliance software which will increase the response rate of the suppliers’ supply chain surveys; and aid in determining if further due diligence is required. |
| • | Continue to compare RCOI results to information collected via independent conflict free smelter validation programs such as the CFSI Conflict Free Smelter program. |
