Enviri Announces Conclusion of Engineered-to-Order Contracts with Deutsche Bahn and Network Rail

• Harsco Rail Europe GmbH has entered into an agreement with a subsidiary of General Atomics, Gleisbaumechanik Brandenburg GmbH (GBM) to sell relevant assets and intellectual property to GBM to complete the utility track vehicles for Deutsche Bahn (DB). As a result, Harsco Rail Europe has ceased all activities relating to its DB engineered-to-order (ETO) contract.
  
• Separately, Harsco Rail Limited has informed Network Rail (NR) that it has ceased all activities relating to its ETO contract for stoneblower rail maintenance vehicles; concurrently, it has proposed a plan to significantly extend the life of NR’s existing stoneblower fleet, which is currently operated and maintained by Harsco Rail Limited.
  
• Harsco Rail’s contract to deliver wagons and utility track vehicles to the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) remains on schedule for delivery, with significant cash payments anticipated in 2027.
  

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Enviri Corporation (NYSE: NVRI) today announced that both Harsco Rail Europe and Harsco Rail Limited have concluded all activities related to their respective ETO contracts with DB to design and supply utility track vehicles, and with NR to build multipurpose stoneblower rail maintenance vehicles.

Deutsche Bahn Exit and Asset Sale to GBM

Harsco Rail Europe has entered into a definitive agreement with GBM to sell all related contract assets, including inventory and intellectual property, to GBM. GBM, a full-service provider of rail vehicles designed for new construction, modernization, and maintenance, has served as the manufacturing partner on the program to this point.

Network Rail Stoneblower Manufacturing Exit and Maintenance Proposal

Harsco Rail Limited has informed NR, the owner and manager of the mainline railway infrastructure in Great Britain, that it has ceased all activities relating to its contract to build stoneblower rail maintenance vehicles and that the associated manufacturing facilities have been closed.

Concurrently, Harsco Rail Limited has proposed an alternative solution to assist NR in significantly extending the life of its existing fleet of stoneblower machines, thus offering a viable transition plan and helping to minimize operational disruption for NR, under which Harsco Rail Limited would continue to operate and maintain these stoneblowers on behalf of NR under its existing multi-year service contract. Discussions regarding this alternative solution are ongoing.

The decision to cease activities under these two contracts was taken to eliminate future performance risk, financial statement volatility, and future cash outflows related to activities under the contracts. As a result of these actions, Enviri will be recording a noncash impairment asset charge of approximately $75 million and recording an incremental liability of approximately $133 million to address future obligations related to these contracts. Cash payments, if any, to be received from GBM related to the asset transfer agreement would be recorded as income as received later this year and early 2027. In connection with its recent spin-off, Enviri’s opening capital structure included cash sufficient to address these liabilities with no change in leverage.
Enviri expects these contract exits to conclude the company's exposure to its legacy ETO contract risks. 

Harsco Rail remains committed to delivering on its remaining ETO contract with SBB, which is progressing on schedule with final deliveries and positive cash flows expected in 2027. 

“This is an important milestone in fulfilling our commitment to de-risk Enviri of these challenged ETO contracts,” said Enviri President and CEO Russell Hochman. “Eliminating the cash outflows, volatility, and uncertainty related to continued activities under these contracts is an important step forward for Enviri and our shareholders. Going forward, Harsco Rail will enhance its focus on its core maintenance-of-way businesses, where we have demonstrated competitive advantages and which we believe will deliver more consistent returns for our shareholders."

Additional information regarding the contract exits and their expected financial impact will be discussed during Enviri’s earnings call on August 11, 2026, and will be included in the company’s filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
