Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of FTAI Infrastructure Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of FTAI Infrastructure Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated and combined consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive (loss) income, changes in equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated and combined consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated and combined consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework), and our report dated March 13, 2025 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
Company’s disclosure of an additional measure of segment profit or loss
In Note 15 to the consolidated and combined consolidated financial statements, the Company has elected to disclose Adjusted EBITDA (Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) attributable to stockholders and Former Parent, adjusted (a) to exclude the impact of provision for (benefit from) income taxes, equity-based compensation expense, acquisition and transaction expenses, losses on the modification or extinguishment of debt and capital lease obligations, changes in fair value of non-hedge derivative instruments, asset impairment charges, incentive allocations, depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense, interest and other costs on pension and OPEB liabilities, dividends and accretion of redeemable preferred stock, and other non-recurring items, (b) to include the impact of our pro-rata share of Adjusted EBITDA from unconsolidated entities, and (c) to exclude the impact of equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated entities and the non-controlling share of Adjusted EBITDA) as a segment profit or loss measure as permitted pursuant to ASC 280 and that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) defines as a non-GAAP measure. Accordingly, we express no opinion on whether the segment profit or loss measure complies with SEC Regulation S-K, Item 10(e) and Regulation G, Item 101.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated and combined consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the account or disclosure to which it relates.

Valuation of Goodwill - Jefferson Terminal Reporting Unit
Description of the Matter At December 31, 2024, the Company’s goodwill was $275.4 million for the Jefferson Terminal reporting unit. As discussed in Note 2 of the consolidated and combined consolidated financial statements, goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually at the reporting unit level.
Auditing the fair value estimate of the Jefferson Terminal reporting unit used in the annual goodwill impairment test was complex and highly judgmental due to the significant estimation required in determining the fair value of the Jefferson Terminal reporting unit. In particular, the fair value estimate was sensitive to significant assumptions such as the forecasted revenue growth rates, capital expenditures and discount rate, which are affected by expectations about the Company’s ability to secure new contracts and increase volumes from existing contracts as well as expectations about the overall industry, market and economic conditions.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit To test the estimated fair value of the Company’s Jefferson Terminal reporting unit for use in the goodwill impairment assessment, we performed audit procedures that included, among others, assessing the valuation methodology used and testing the significant assumptions, described above, and the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used by the Company in its impairment test. For example, we compared significant assumptions used by management to current industry, market and economic trends and to the historical results of the reporting unit and other guideline companies within the same industry. We also assessed the historical accuracy of management’s estimates and performed sensitivity analyses to evaluate the changes in the fair value of the Jefferson Terminal reporting unit that would result from changes in the significant assumptions. We also involved our internal valuation specialists to assist in our evaluation of the Company's valuation methodology and certain significant assumptions.

1. ORGANIZATION
FTAI Infrastructure Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our”, or the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation and was originally formed as a limited liability company on December 13, 2021 in connection with the spin-off of the infrastructure business (“FTAI Infrastructure”) of FTAI Aviation Ltd. (previously Fortress Transportation and Infrastructure Investors LLC; “FTAI” or “Former Parent”). The Company owns and operates (i) six freight railroads and one switching company that provide rail service to certain manufacturing and production facilities (“Transtar”), (ii) a multi-modal crude oil and refined products terminal in Beaumont, Texas (“Jefferson Terminal”), (iii) a deep-water port located along the Delaware River with an underground storage cavern, a multipurpose dock, a rail-to-ship transloading system and multiple industrial development opportunities (“Repauno”), (iv) an equity method investment in a multi-modal terminal located along the Ohio River with multiple industrial development opportunities, including a power plant (“Long Ridge”), and (v) an equity method investment in two ventures developing battery and metal recycling technology (“Aleon” and “Gladieux”). Additionally, we own and lease shipping containers (“Containers”) and operate a railcar cleaning business (“KRS”) as well as an operating company that provides roadside assistance services for the intermodal and over-the-road trucking industries (“FYX”). We have five reportable segments: (i) Railroad, (ii) Jefferson Terminal, (iii) Repauno, (iv) Power and Gas, and (v) Sustainability and Energy Transition, which all operate in the infrastructure sector (see Note 15).
On August 1, 2022 (the “Spin-off Date”), FTAI distributed to the holders of FTAI common shares, one share of FTAI Infrastructure Inc. common stock for each FTAI common share held by such shareholder at the close of business on July 21, 2022 and we became an independent, publicly-traded company trading on The Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “FIP.” The Company is headquartered in New York, New York.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation: Consolidated and Combined Consolidated Financial Statements
The Company’s financial statements for the periods through the Spin-off Date are combined consolidated financial statements. The Company’s financial statements for the periods after the Spin-off Date through December 31, 2024 are consolidated financial statements based on the reported results of FTAI Infrastructure Inc. as a standalone company.
The historical results of operations and cash flows of FTAI Infrastructure represented in the combined consolidated financial statements may not be indicative of what they would have been had FTAI Infrastructure actually been a separate standalone entity during such periods, nor are they necessarily indicative of our future results of operations and cash flows.
Basis of Presentation: Prior to Spin-off
The Company’s financial statements for the periods through the Spin-off Date were prepared on a standalone basis as if the operations had been conducted independently from the Former Parent and have been derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of the Former Parent. Accordingly, Former Parent’s net investment in our operations (Net Former Parent investment) was shown in lieu of stockholders’ equity in the accompanying combined consolidated financial statements, which include the historical operations comprising the infrastructure business of FTAI.
Prior to the Spin-off Date, the combined consolidated financial statements include certain assets and liabilities that have historically been held by the Former Parent but are specifically identifiable or otherwise attributable to FTAI Infrastructure. All significant intercompany transactions between Former Parent and FTAI Infrastructure have been included as components of Net Former Parent investment in the combined consolidated financial statements, as they are to be considered effectively settled upon effectiveness of the spin-off.
The combined consolidated financial statements are presented as if our businesses had been combined for all periods presented prior to the Spin-off date.
Principles of Combination —FTAI Infrastructure had elected the principles of combined consolidated financial statements as the basis of presentation for the periods through the Spin-off Date due to common ownership and management of the entities, which includes the financial results of the Railroad, Jefferson Terminal, Repauno, Power and Gas, and Sustainability and Energy Transition segments.
Cash and Cash Equivalents —The cash and cash equivalents reflected in the financial statements through the Spin-off Date are cash and cash equivalents that were legally held by FTAI Infrastructure during the periods presented in the financial statements and are directly attributed to and used in the operations of FTAI Infrastructure.
Debt and the Corresponding Interest Expense —The debt reflected in the financial statements through the Spin-off Date was debt that was directly attributable to, and legally incurred by, FTAI Infrastructure. The corresponding interest expense presented in the financial statements was derived solely from the debt directly attributed to FTAI Infrastructure.
Corporate Function —For the periods through the Spin-off Date, the combined consolidated financial statements include all revenues and costs directly attributable to FTAI Infrastructure and an allocation of certain expenses. The Former Parent was externally managed by FIG LLC (the “Manager”), an affiliate of Fortress Investment Group LLC (“Fortress”), which performed the Former Parent’s corporate function, and incurred a variety of expenses including, but not limited to, information technology, accounting, treasury, tax, legal, corporate finance and communications. For purposes of the Combined Consolidated Statements

(Dollars in tables in thousands, unless otherwise noted)
of Operations, an allocation of these expenses was included to reflect our portion of such corporate overhead from the Former Parent. The charges reflected have either been specifically identified or allocated based on an estimate of time spent on FTAI Infrastructure. These allocated costs were recorded in general and administrative, and acquisition and transaction expenses in the Combined Consolidated Statements of Operations. We believe the assumptions regarding allocations of the Former Parent’s Corporate expenses are reasonable. Nevertheless, the allocations may not be indicative of the actual expense that would have been incurred had FTAI Infrastructure operated as an independent, standalone public entity, nor are they indicative of the Company’s future expenses. Actual costs that may have been incurred if FTAI Infrastructure had been a standalone company would depend on a number of factors, including the organizational structure, what functions were outsourced or performed by employees and strategic decisions made in areas such as information technology and infrastructure. The Former Parent funded FTAI Infrastructure’s operating and investing activities as needed. Cash transfers to and from the Former Parent are reflected in the Combined Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as “Net transfers from Former Parent”. Refer to Note 14 for additional discussion on corporate costs allocated from the Former Parent that are included in these combined consolidated financial statements. Subsequent to the Spin-off Date, the Company operated as a standalone company based on actual expenses incurred.
Principles of Consolidation —We consolidate all entities in which we have a controlling financial interest and control over significant operating decisions, as well as variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which we are the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. All adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The ownership interest of other investors in consolidated subsidiaries is recorded as non-controlling interest.
We use the equity method of accounting for investments in entities in which we exercise significant influence but which do not meet the requirements for consolidation. Under the equity method, we record our proportionate share of the underlying net income (loss) of these entities as well as the proportionate interest in adjustments to other comprehensive income (loss).
Use of Estimates —The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated and combined consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period, including allocations from the Former Parent during the period prior to the spin-off. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Risks and Uncertainties —In the normal course of business, we encounter several significant types of economic risk including credit, market, and capital market risks. Credit risk is the risk of the inability or unwillingness of a lessee, customer, or derivative counterparty to make contractually required payments or to fulfill its other contractual obligations. Market risk reflects the risk of a downturn or volatility in the underlying industry segments in which we operate, which could adversely impact the pricing of the services offered by us or a lessee’s or customer’s ability to make payments. Capital market risk is the risk that we are unable to obtain capital at reasonable rates to fund the growth of our business or to refinance existing debt facilities. We do not have significant exposure to foreign currency risk as all of our leasing and revenue arrangements are denominated in U.S. dollars.
Liquidity —As disclosed in Note 19, subsequent to December 31, 2024, the Company has (i) extended the maturity dates of its EB-5 and EB-5.2 Loan Agreements to January 25, 2027 and March 10, 2027, respectively, (ii) amended its October 2024 Jefferson Credit Agreement to include the option to extend its maturity date to April 1, 2026 and (iii) executed an additional loan agreement for $30.0 million at its Repauno segment that will be due July 18, 2025 and includes the option to extend its maturity date to April 1, 2026. Notwithstanding these actions, Management concluded that the Company’s current liquidity and forecasted cash flows from operations are not sufficient to meet its obligations as they become due, when including cash dividend payments on its Series A Preferred Stock. However, Management has approved a plan to accrue paid-in-kind dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock which would preclude the payment of future dividends on common stock, excluding the common dividend that our board of directors declared on February 27, 2025 that will be paid on March 26, 2025 (see Note 19). In addition, Management will exercise the options to extend the maturity dates of the debt instruments noted above, as needed. Management concluded that such plans are probable of being implemented and the Company will have sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations as they become due over the next twelve months from the date that the consolidated financial statements were issued. Management will continue to evaluate its liquidity and financial position and update future plans accordingly.
Variable Interest Entities —The assessment of whether an entity is a VIE and the determination of whether to consolidate a VIE requires judgment. VIEs are defined as entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. A VIE is required to be consolidated by its primary beneficiary, and only by its primary beneficiary, which is defined as the party who has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance and who has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
Delaware River Partners LLC
During 2016, through Delaware River Partners LLC (“DRP”), a consolidated subsidiary, we purchased the assets of Repauno, which consisted primarily of land, a storage cavern, and riparian rights for the acquired land, site improvements and rights. Upon acquisition there were no operational processes that could be applied to these assets that would result in outputs without significant green field development. We currently hold an approximately 98 % economic interest, and a 100 % voting interest in

(Dollars in tables in thousands, unless otherwise noted)
DRP. DRP is solely reliant on us to finance its activities and therefore is a VIE. We concluded that we are the primary beneficiary and, accordingly, DRP has been presented on a consolidated basis in the accompanying consolidated and combined consolidated financial statements. Total VIE assets of DRP were $ 341.6 million and $ 305.0 million, and total VIE liabilities of DRP were $ 88.5 million and $ 52.7 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Cash and Cash Equivalents —We consider all highly liquid short-term investments with a maturity of 90 days or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents —Restricted cash and cash equivalents consists of cash in money market funds and other permitted highly liquid short term investments that can be used for principal, interest and project funding pursuant to the requirements of certain of our debt agreements (see Note 7) and other qualifying construction projects at Jefferson Terminal.
Property, Plant and Equipment, Leasing Equipment and Depreciation —Property, plant and equipment and leasing equipment are stated at cost (inclusive of capitalized acquisition costs, where applicable) and depreciated using the straight-line method, over their estimated useful lives, to estimated residual values which are summarized as follows:
Asset Range of Estimated Useful Lives Residual Value Estimates
Railcars and locomotives 40 - 50 years from date of manufacture
Scrap value at end of useful life
Track and track related assets 15 - 50 years from date of manufacture
Scrap value at end of useful life
Land, site improvements and rights N/A N/A
Bridges and tunnels 15 - 55 years
Scrap value at end of useful life
Buildings and site improvements 20 - 30 years
Scrap value at end of useful life
Railroad equipment 3 - 15 years from date of manufacture
Scrap value at end of useful life
Terminal machinery and equipment 15 - 25 years from date of manufacture
Scrap value at end of useful life
Furniture and fixtures 3 - 6 years from date of purchase
None
Computer hardware and software 3 - 5 years from date of purchase
None
Construction in progress N/A N/A
Major improvements and modifications incurred in connection with the acquisition of property, plant and equipment and leasing equipment that are required to get the asset ready for initial service are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining life of the asset. Project costs of major additions and betterments, including capitalizable engineering costs and other costs directly related to the development or construction of project, are capitalized and depreciation commences once it is placed into service. Interest costs directly related to and incurred during the construction period of property, plant and equipment are capitalized. Spare parts are depreciated in conjunction with the underlying property, plant and equipment asset when placed in service.
We review our depreciation policies on a regular basis to determine whether changes have taken place that would suggest that a change in our depreciation policies, useful lives of our equipment or the assigned residual values is warranted.
Capitalized Interest —The interest cost associated with major development and construction projects is capitalized and included in the cost of the project. Interest capitalization ceases once a project is substantially complete or no longer undergoing construction activities to prepare it for its intended use. We capitalized interest of $ 6.6 million, $ 5.0 million and $ 9.2 million during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Repairs and Maintenance —Repair and maintenance costs that do not extend the lives of the assets are expensed as incurred. Our repairs and maintenance expenses were $ 20.1 million, $ 19.2 million and $ 13.4 million during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and are included in Operating expenses in the Consolidated and Combined Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets —We perform a recoverability assessment of each of our long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances, or indicators, indicate that the carrying amount or net book value of an asset may not be recoverable. Indicators may include, but are not limited to, a significant change in market conditions; or the introduction of newer technology. When performing a recoverability assessment, we measure whether the estimated future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset exceeds its net book value. The undiscounted cash flows consist of cash flows from terminal services contracts and currently contracted leases, future projected leases, terminal service and freight rail rates, transition costs, and estimated residual or scrap values. In the event that an asset does not meet the recoverability test, the carrying value of the asset will be adjusted to fair value resulting in an impairment charge.
Management develops the assumptions used in the recoverability analysis based on its knowledge of active contracts, current and future expectations of the demand for a particular asset and historical experience, as well as information received from third party industry sources. The factors considered in estimating the undiscounted cash flows are impacted by changes in future periods due to changes in contracted lease rates, terminal service, and freight rail rates, residual values, economic conditions, technology, demand for a particular asset type and other factors.
Other Current Assets —Other current assets is comprised of:

For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company determined that its note receivable from an investment included in the Sustainability and Energy Transition segment should be impaired due to the investment continuing to generate operating losses and not achieving expected results. The related impairment charge is recorded in Asset impairment charges in the Consolidated and Combined Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Other Assets —Other assets consists of a note receivable of $ 11.9 million and $ 11.7 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, from CarbonFree, a business that develops technologies to capture carbon dioxide from industrial emissions sources. We elected the fair value option for this note receivable to better align the reported results with the underlying changes in the value of this note receivable. The Company records interest income, which is included in Other income (expense) in the Consolidated and Combined Consolidated Statements of Operations, on this note receivable using the contractual interest rate. Other assets also consists of capitalized contract costs of $ 18.6 million and $ 17.6 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities —Accounts payable and accrued liabilities primarily include payables relating to construction projects, interline payables to other railroads, accrued compensation, interest and payables to the Manager.
Other Current Liabilities —Other current liabilities primarily include environmental liabilities of $ 0.5 million and $ 0.5 million, insurance premium liabilities of $ 5.0 million and $ 3.2 million, and deferred revenue of $ 8.3 million and $ 5.8 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized revenue of $ 1.3 million that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the year.
Goodwill —Goodwill includes the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets associated with the acquisition of Jefferson Terminal, Transtar and FYX. As of December 31, 2024, the carrying amount of goodwill within the Jefferson Terminal, Railroad and Corporate and Other segments was $ 122.7 million, $ 147.2 million, and $ 5.4 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, the carrying amount of goodwill within the Jefferson Terminal, Railroad and Corporate and Other segments was $ 122.7 million, $ 147.2 million, and $ 5.4 million, respectively.
We review the carrying values of goodwill at least annually to assess impairment since these assets are not amortized. An annual impairment review is conducted as of October 1st of each year. Additionally, we review the carrying value of goodwill whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. The determination of fair value involves significant management judgment.
For an annual goodwill impairment assessment, an optional qualitative analysis may be performed. If the option is not elected or if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then a goodwill impairment test is performed to identify potential goodwill impairment and measure an impairment loss.
A goodwill impairment assessment compares the fair value of a respective reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. The estimate of fair value of the respective reporting unit is based on the best information available as of the date of assessment, which primarily incorporates certain factors including our assumptions about operating results, business plans, income projections, anticipated future cash flows and market data. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying amount, a goodwill impairment is recorded to the extent that the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value.
As of October 1, 2024, we elected to complete a qualitative impairment assessment of the goodwill related to our Transtar and FYX reporting units and concluded that it was more likely than not that the fair value of the Transtar and FYX reporting units exceeded their respective carrying values. Therefore, no quantitative impairment evaluation was completed. As part of our assessment, we considered numerous factors, including:
• macroeconomic conditions and their potential impact on reporting unit fair value;
• industry and market conditions;
• cost factors such as increases in raw materials, labor or other costs;
• actual financial performance compared with budget and prior projections; and
• events that may change the composition or carrying value of its net assets.
For our Jefferson Terminal reporting unit, we completed a quantitative analysis. We estimate the fair value of Jefferson Terminal using an income approach, specifically a discounted cash flow analysis. This analysis requires us to make significant assumptions and estimates about the forecasted revenue growth rates, capital expenditures and discount rates. The estimates
70
FTAI INFRASTRUCTURE INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in tables in thousands, unless otherwise noted)
and assumptions used consider historical performance if indicative of future performance and are consistent with the assumptions used in determining future profit plans for the reporting units.
In connection with our impairment analysis, although we believe the estimates of fair value are reasonable, the determination of certain valuation inputs is subject to management's judgment. Changes in these inputs, including as a result of events beyond our control, could materially affect the results of the impairment review. If the forecasted cash flows or other key inputs are negatively revised in the future, the estimated fair value of the reporting unit could be adversely impacted, potentially leading to an impairment in the future that could materially affect our operating results. The Jefferson Terminal reporting unit had an estimated fair value that exceeded its carrying value by more than 10% as of October 1, 2024. The Jefferson Terminal reporting unit forecasted revenue is dependent on the ramp up of volumes under current and expected future contracts for storage and throughput of heavy and light crude and refined products, expansion of refined product distribution to Mexico, expansion of volumes and execution of contracts related to sustainable fuels and movements in future oil spreads. At October 1, 2024, approximately 6.0 million barrels of storage was operational. Our discount rate for our 2024 goodwill impairment analysis was 9.5 % and our assumed terminal growth rate was 2.5 %. If our strategy changes from planned capacity downward due to an inability to source contracts or expand volumes, the fair value of the reporting unit would be negatively affected, which could lead to an impairment. The expansion of refineries in the Beaumont/Port Arthur area, as well as growing crude oil and natural gas production in the U.S. and Canada, are expected to result in increased demand for storage on the U.S. Gulf Coast. Although we do not have significant direct exposure to volatility of crude oil prices, changes in crude oil pricing that affect long term refining planned output could impact Jefferson Terminal operations.
We expect the Jefferson Terminal reporting unit to continue to generate positive Adjusted EBITDA in future years. Further delays in executing anticipated contracts or achieving our projected volumes could adversely affect the fair value of the reporting unit.
There were no impairments of goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022.
Intangibles and Amortization —Intangible assets include the value of existing customer relationships acquired in connection with the acquisition of Jefferson Terminal and Transtar.
Customer relationship intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives as the pattern in which the asset’s economic benefits are consumed cannot reliably be determined. Customer relationship intangible assets have useful lives ranging from 5 to 15 years, no estimated residual value, and amortization is recorded as a component of Depreciation and amortization in the Consolidated and Combined Consolidated Statements of Operations. The weighted-average remaining amortization period for customer relationships was 138 months and 144 months as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Redeemable Preferred Stock —We classify the Series A Preferred Stock ("Redeemable Preferred Stock") as temporary equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets due to certain contingent redemption clauses that are at the election of the holders. The carrying value of the Redeemable Preferred Stock is accreted to the redemption value at the earliest redemption date, which has been determined to be August 1, 2030. We use the interest method to accrete to the redemption value.
Deferred Financing Costs —Costs incurred in connection with obtaining long-term financing are capitalized and amortized to interest expense over the term of the underlying loans. Unamortized deferred financing costs of $ 14.8 million and $ 31.3 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, are included in Debt, net in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Amortization expense was $ 6.2 million, $ 6.8 million and $ 4.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and is included in Interest expense in the Consolidated and Combined Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Terminal Services Revenues —Terminal services are provided to customers for the receipt and redelivery of various commodities. These revenues relate to performance obligations that are recognized over time using the right to invoice practical expedient, i.e., invoiced as the services are rendered and the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit over the contract term. The Company’s performance of service and right to invoice corresponds with the value delivered to our customers. Revenues are typically invoiced and paid on a monthly basis.
Rail Revenues —Rail revenues generally consist of the following performance obligations: industrial switching, interline services, demurrage and storage. Switching revenues are derived from the performance of switching services, which involve the movement of cars from one point to another within the limits of an individual plant, industrial area, or a rail yard. Switching revenues are recognized as the services are performed, and the services are generally completed on the same day they are initiated.
Interline revenues are derived from transportation services for railcars that originate or terminate at our railroads and involve one or more other carriers. For interline traffic, one railroad typically invoices a customer on behalf of all railroads participating in the route directed by the customer. The invoicing railroad then pays the other railroads its portion of the total amount invoiced on a monthly basis. We record revenue related to interline traffic for transportation service segments provided by carriers along railroads that are not owned or controlled by us on a net basis. Interline revenues are recognized as the transportation movements occur.
Our ancillary services revenue primarily relates to demurrage and storage services. Demurrage represents charges assessed by railroads for the detention of cars by shippers or receivers of freight beyond a specified free time and is recognized on a per day
71

(Dollars in tables in thousands, unless otherwise noted)
basis. Storage services revenue is earned for the provision of storage of shippers’ railcars and is generally recognized on a per day, per car basis, as the storage services are provided.
Lease Income —Lease income consists of rental income from tenants for storage space. Lease income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the relevant lease agreement.
Roadside Services Revenues —Roadside services revenue is revenue related to providing roadside assistance services to customers in the intermodal and over-the-road trucking industries. Revenue is recognized when a performance obligation is satisfied by completing a repair service at a point in time. Revenues are typically invoiced for each repair and generally have 30-day payment terms.
Other Revenue —Other revenue primarily consists of revenue related to the handling, storage and sale of raw materials. Revenues for the handling and storage of raw materials relate to performance obligations that are recognized over time using the right to invoice practical expedient, i.e., invoiced as the services are rendered and the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit over the contract term. Our performance of service and right to invoice corresponds with the value delivered to our customers. Revenues for the sale of raw materials relate to contracts that contain performance obligations to deliver the product over the term of the contract. The revenues are recognized when the control of the product is transferred to the customer, based on the volume delivered and the price within the contract. Other revenues are typically invoiced and paid on a monthly basis.
Payment terms for revenues are generally short term in nature.
Leasing Arrangements —At contract inception, we evaluate whether an arrangement is or contains a lease for which we are the lessee (that is, arrangements which provide us with the right to control a physical asset for a period of time). Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities are recognized in Operating lease right-of-use assets, net and Operating lease liabilities within current liabilities and non-current liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively. Finance lease ROU assets are recognized in Property, plant and equipment, net and lease liabilities are recognized in Other current liabilities and Other liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
All lease liabilities are measured at the present value of the unpaid lease payments, discounted using our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date of the lease. ROU assets, for both operating and finance leases, are initially measured based on the lease liability, adjusted for prepaid rent and lease incentives. ROU assets are subsequently measured at the carrying amount of the lease liability adjusted for prepaid or accrued lease payments and lease incentives. The finance lease ROU assets are subsequently amortized using the straight-line method.
Operating lease expenses are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. With respect to finance leases, amortization of the ROU asset is presented separately from interest expense related to the finance lease liability. Variable lease payments, which are primarily based on usage, are recognized when the associated activity occurs.
We have elected to combine lease and non-lease components for all lease contracts where we are the lessee. Additionally, for arrangements with lease terms of 12 months or less, we do not recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities; and lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term with variable lease payments recognized in the period in which the obligation is incurred.
Concentration of Credit Risk —We are subject to concentrations of credit risk with respect to amounts due from customers. We attempt to limit our credit risk by performing ongoing credit evaluations. We earned approximately 13 %, 12 % and 10 % of our consolidated revenue from one customer within the Jefferson Terminal segment during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 50 %, 51 % and 51 % from one customer within the Railroad segment during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, revenues from one customer in each of the Railroad and Jefferson Terminal segments accounted for $ 165.7 million and $ 44.6 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, accounts receivable from two customers within the Jefferson Terminal and Railroad segments represented 48 % of total accounts receivable, net. As of December 31, 2023, accounts receivable from three customers within the Jefferson Terminal and Railroad segments represented 56 % of total accounts receivable, net.
We maintain cash and restricted cash balances, which generally exceed federally insured limits, and subject us to credit risk, in high credit quality financial institutions. We monitor the financial condition of these institutions and have not experienced any losses associated with these accounts.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts —We determine the allowance for doubtful accounts based on our assessment of the collectability of our receivables on a customer-by-customer basis. We also consider current and future economic conditions over the expected lives of the receivables, the amount of receivables in dispute, and the current receivables aging.
Expense Recognition —Expenses are recognized on an accrual basis as incurred.
Acquisition and Transaction Expenses —Acquisition and transaction expense is comprised of costs related to business combinations, dispositions and terminated deal costs related to asset acquisitions, including advisory, legal, accounting, valuation and other professional or consulting fees.

Comprehensive (Loss) Income —Comprehensive (loss) income is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances, excluding those resulting from investments by and distributions to owners. Our comprehensive (loss) income represents net loss, as presented in the Consolidated and Combined Consolidated Statements of Operations, adjusted for fair value changes recorded in other comprehensive (loss) income related to cash flow hedges of our equity method investees and changes in pension and other postretirement benefit accounts.
Derivative Financial Instruments
Electricity Derivatives — Our equity method investee, Long Ridge, enters into derivative contracts as part of a risk management program to mitigate price risk associated with certain electricity price exposures. Long Ridge primarily uses swap derivative contracts, which are agreements to buy or sell a quantity of electricity at a predetermined future date and at a predetermined price.
Cash Flow Hedges
Certain of these derivative instruments are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges. Our share of the derivative's gain or loss is reported as Other comprehensive (loss) income related to equity method investees in our Consolidated and Combined Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) and recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The change in our equity method investment balance related to derivative gains or losses on cash flow hedges is disclosed as a Non-cash change in equity method investment in our Consolidated and Combined Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Derivatives Not Designated As Hedging Instruments
Certain of these derivative instruments are not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes. Our share of the change in fair value of these contracts is recognized in Equity in losses of unconsolidated entities in the Consolidated and Combined Consolidated Statements of Operations. The cash flow impact of derivative contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments is recognized in Equity in losses of unconsolidated entities in our Consolidated and Combined Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Income Taxes —Prior to the spin-off, we were taxed as a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes and our taxable income or loss generated was allocated to investors by our Former Parent, which was treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In addition, certain of our subsidiaries were taxed as separate corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The income tax provision included in the consolidated and combined consolidated financial statements prior to the spin-off was prepared on a separate return method. Post spin-off, FTAI Infrastructure’s tax structure, certain return elections and assertions are different, including a single consolidated federal tax filing in the U.S., and therefore the income taxes presented prior to the spin-off in the consolidated and combined consolidated financial statements are not expected to be indicative of the Company’s future income taxes.
73
FTAI INFRASTRUCTURE INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in tables in thousands, unless otherwise noted)
We account for these taxes using the asset and liability method under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. A valuation allowance is established when management believes it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
Some of our entities file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various state jurisdictions and in certain foreign jurisdictions. The income tax returns filed by us and our subsidiaries are subject to examination by the U.S. federal, state and foreign tax authorities. We recognize tax benefits for uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the position is sustainable based on its technical merits. Interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions are included as a component of the Provision for income taxes in the Consolidated and Combined Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits —We have obligations for a pension and a postretirement benefit plan in connection with the acquisition of Transtar for certain eligible Transtar employees. The pension and other postretirement obligations and the related net periodic costs are based on, among other things, assumptions regarding the discount rate, salary increases, the projected mortality of participants and the current level and future escalation of health care costs. Actuarial gains and losses occur when actual experience differs from any of the many assumptions used to value the benefit plans, or when assumptions change. We will recognize into income on an annual basis a portion of unrecognized actuarial net gains or losses that exceed 10 percent of the greater of the projected benefit obligations or the market-related value of plan assets (the corridor). This excess is amortized over the average remaining service period of active employees expected to receive benefits under the plan. Refer to Note 12 for additional discussion on the pension and postretirement benefit plans.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements —In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) – Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This ASU requires entities to provide additional disclosures around significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker, as well as an amount and description of its composition of other segment items. This standard is effective retrospectively for all public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We adopted this guidance in the fourth quarter of 2024, and it did not have a material impact on our consolidated and combined consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Unadopted Accounting Pronouncements —In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures by expanding the disclosures of an entity’s income tax rate reconciliation and disaggregation of income taxes paid and income tax expense. This standard is effective prospectively for all public entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption and retrospective application permitted. We are currently assessing the impact this guidance will have on our consolidated and combined consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This ASU requires additional financial statement disclosures for disaggregated information of certain expense line items on the face of the income statement, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization and depreciation, depletion and amortization of capitalized costs recognized as part of oil- and gas-producing activities. This standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption and either prospective or retrospective application permitted. We are currently assessing the impact this guidance will have on our consolidated and combined consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Sales-Type Leases
In December 2023, Jefferson Terminal entered into an agreement to lease land to an entity controlled by certain employees of the Manager. The lease is initially for a two-year construction period and eight years post-completion with renewals that extend the lease up to 32 years. We determined that the lease is a sales-type lease as the present value of the lease payments is substantially all of fair value. Lease payments will increase based on an inflation escalator and be treated as variable lease payments as they occur.
At lease commencement, we recorded $ 6.6 million of gain on sales-type lease which is recorded in Gain (loss) on sale of assets in the Consolidated and Combined Consolidated Statements of Operations during the year ended December 31, 2023. We also recorded $ 0.8 million and $ 0.1 million of interest income which is included in Revenues in the Consolidated and Combined Consolidated Statements of Operations during the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we recorded $ 8.1 million and $ 7.9 million of lease receivable and $ 0.8 million and $ 0.6 million of unguaranteed residual value which are included in Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, as well as $ 0.8 million and $ 0.8 million of short-term lease receivable which is included in Other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively.

Equity Method Investments
Intermodal Finance I, Ltd.
In 2012, we acquired a 51 % non-controlling interest in Intermodal Finance I, Ltd. (“Intermodal”). Intermodal is governed by a board of directors, and its shareholders have voting rights through their equity interests. As such, Intermodal is not within the scope of ASC 810-20 and should be evaluated for consolidation under the voting interest model. Due to the existence of substantive participating rights of the 49 % equity investor, including the joint approval of material operating and capital decisions, such as material contracts and capital expenditures consistent with ASC 810-10-25-11, we do not have unilateral rights over this investment and, therefore, we do not consolidate Intermodal but account for this investment in accordance with the equity method. We do not have a variable interest in this investment as none of the criteria of ASC 810-10-15-14 were met.
As of December 31, 2024, Intermodal owns a portfolio of approximately 134 shipping containers subject to multiple operating leases.
Long Ridge Energy & Power LLC
In December 2019, Ohio River Partners Shareholder LLC (“ORP”), a wholly owned subsidiary, contributed its equity interests in Long Ridge into Long Ridge Energy & Power LLC and sold a 49.9 % interest (the “Long Ridge Transaction”) for $ 150.0 million in cash, plus an earn out. We no longer have a controlling interest in Long Ridge but still maintain significant influence through our retained interest and, therefore, now account for this investment in accordance with the equity method. Following the sale, we deconsolidated ORP, which held the assets of Long Ridge.
In addition to our equity method investment, in October 2022, we entered into a shareholder loan agreement maturing on October 15, 2023 and accruing paid-in-kind (“PIK”) interest at a 13 % rate. During 2023, the maturity date was extended to May 1, 2032. The Company made an additional $ 31.4 million of investment in Long Ridge as part of the shareholder loan agreement during the year ended December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the balance of the note receivable was $ 114.8 million and $ 71.0 million, respectively, recorded as part of the Long Ridge investment in Other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

GM-FTAI Holdco LLC
In September 2021, we acquired 1 % of the Class A shares and 50 % of the Class B shares of GM-FTAI Holdco LLC for $ 52.5 million. GM-FTAI Holdco LLC owns a 100 % interest in Gladieux Metals Recycling LLC (“GMR”) and Aleon Renewable Metals LLC (“Aleon”). GMR specializes in recycling spent catalyst produced in the petroleum refining industry.

FTAI INFRASTRUCTURE INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in tables in thousands, unless otherwise noted)
Aleon plans to develop a lithium-ion battery recycling business across the United States. Each planned location will collect, discharge and disassemble lithium-ion batteries to extract various metals in high-purity form for resale into the lithium-ion battery production market. Aleon and GMR are governed by separate boards of directors. Our ownership of Class A and B shares in GM-FTAI Holdco LLC provides us with 1 % and 50 % economic interest in GMR and Aleon, respectively. We account for our investment in GM-FTAI Holdco LLC as an equity method investment as we have significant influence through our ownership of Class A and Class B shares of GM-FTAI Holdco LLC.
On June 15, 2022, we exchanged our Class B shares which gave us economic interest in Aleon for an additional 20 % interest in Class A shares. In addition, we also terminated our credit agreements with GMR and Aleon in exchange for an approximate 8.5 % of additional interest in Class A shares of GM-FTAI Holdco LLC. As a result of these exchange transactions, we own approximately 27 % of GM-FTAI Holdco LLC, which owns 100 % of both GMR and Aleon.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, GM-FTAI Holdco LLC was impacted by severe weather which damaged its facilities and impacted production capabilities. Additionally, GM-FTAI Holdco LLC continues to generate operating losses and has not achieved expected results. Therefore, the Company determined that the equity value should be fully written off of the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2024. The related impairment charge is recorded in Asset impairment charges in the Consolidated and Combined Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Clean Planet Energy USA LLC
In November 2021, we acquired 50 % of the Class A shares of Clean Planet Energy USA LLC (“CPE” or “Clean Planet”) with an initial investment of $ 1.0 million. CPE intends on building waste plastic-to-fuel plants in the United States. The plants will convert various grades of non-recyclable waste plastic to renewable diesel in the form of jet fuel, diesel, naphtha, and low sulfur fuel oil. We account for our investment in CPE as an equity method investment as we have significant influence through our ownership of Class A shares.
Long Ridge West Virginia LLC
In November 2023, we sold a 49.9 % interest in Long Ridge West Virginia LLC (“Long Ridge WV”), previously a wholly owned subsidiary, for $ 7.5 million in cash. Long Ridge WV is a VIE as defined in U.S. GAAP, but we are not the primary beneficiary. Following the sale, we no longer have a controlling interest in Long Ridge WV, but we still maintain significant influence through our retained interest and account for this investment in accordance with the equity method.
Long Ridge WV was formed to build an energy generating property in West Virginia similar to that of Long Ridge Energy & Power LLC. On the deconsolidation, no gain was recorded as all the assets consist of unproved undeveloped gas properties. We recorded our investment in the legal entity at the cost basis of $ 7.2 million as of November 17, 2023.
Equity Investments
E-Circuit Motors, Inc.
E-Circuit Motors Inc. (“ECM”) is a software company concentrating on the development and sale of printer circuit board stator motors and also utilizes proprietary software to develop and test such motors in a virtual environment. On March 6, 2024, the Company invested $ 5.0 million for 166,667 shares of Series D preferred equity, as well as 166,667 warrants of common stock at $ 0.01 per share in ECM. The preferred shares are convertible to common shares at the option of the investor on a one -for-one basis. We do not exercise significant influence over the investment and will record the preferred share investment as an equity security. The warrants are exercisable only if certain conditions are met over the next two years after the date of the investment. The warrants will be accounted for as equity securities.
The value of the Series D preferred equity and warrants as of the date of investment were determined to be $ 2.5 million each, based on relative fair value. ECM is a private company with no readily determinable fair values; if additional third-party information becomes available we will adjust the value of the investments accordingly. As of December 31, 2024, the investment of $ 5.0 million was recorded in Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value measurements and disclosures require the use of valuation techniques to measure fair value that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized as follows:
• Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
• Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities or market corroborated inputs.
• Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data and which require us to develop our own assumptions about how market participants price the asset or liability.
The valuation techniques that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:
• Market approach—Uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.
• Income approach—Uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount based on current market expectations about those future amounts.
• Cost approach—Based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost).

Our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents consist largely of demand deposit accounts with maturities of 90 days or less when purchased that are considered to be highly liquid. These instruments are valued using inputs observable in active markets for identical instruments and are therefore classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
Except as discussed below, our financial instruments other than cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents consist principally of accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and loans payable, whose fair values approximate their carrying values based on an evaluation of pricing data, vendor quotes, and historical trading activity or due to their short maturity profiles.

We measure the fair value of certain assets on a non-recurring basis when U.S. GAAP requires the application of fair value, including events or changes in circumstances that indicate that the carrying amounts of assets may not be recoverable. Assets subject to these measurements include goodwill, intangible assets, property, plant and equipment and leasing equipment. We record such assets at fair value when it is determined the carrying value may not be recoverable. Fair value measurements for assets subject to impairment tests are based on an income approach which uses Level 3 inputs, which include our assumptions as to future cash flows from operation of the underlying businesses.
9. REVENUES
We disaggregate our revenue from contracts with customers by products and services provided for each of our segments, as we believe it best depicts the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenue. Revenues are within the scope of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , unless otherwise noted. We have elected to exclude sales and other similar taxes from revenues.

Sale Leaseback Transaction
In the second quarter of 2024, Jefferson Terminal transferred land to the Port of Beaumont Navigation District of Jefferson County, Texas in association with the Tax Exempt Series 2024A Bonds. Jefferson Terminal entered into a ground lease with the Port of Beaumont Navigation District of Jefferson County, Texas on approximately 50 acres of land.
Jefferson Terminal was provided access to 10 acres to begin construction of a new dock and supporting facilities. The lease of the 10 acres is an operating lease. This transaction was recorded as a sale in accordance with ASC 842. Jefferson Terminal recorded a gain on the sale leaseback through Gain (loss) on sale of assets on the Consolidated and Combined Consolidated Statements of Operations of $ 3.1 million as of December 31, 2024.
Jefferson Terminal has not been provided access to the other 40 acres for construction, so the lease has not commenced. Once the Port of Beaumont Navigation District of Jefferson County, Texas provides access to the property for construction, the 40 acres will be reassessed as a sale leaseback. This transaction was recorded as a failed sale in accordance with ASC 842 as of December 31, 2024. Jefferson Terminal recorded a finance liability of $ 12.0 million through Other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2024 for the failed sale.

12. RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS
We established a defined benefit pension plan as well as a postretirement benefit plan to assume certain retirement benefit obligations related to eligible Transtar employees.
Defined Benefit Pensions
Our underfunded pension plan is a tax qualified plan, and we will make contributions accordingly. Our pension plan covers certain eligible Transtar employees and is noncontributory. Pension benefits earned are generally based on years of service and compensation during active employment. The accumulated benefit obligation at December 31, 2024 and 2023 is $ 7.1 million and $ 4.6 million, respectively.
Postretirement Benefits
Our unfunded postretirement plan provides healthcare and life insurance benefits for eligible retirees of Transtar and their dependents. Depending on retirement date and employee classification, certain healthcare plans contain contribution and cost-sharing features such as deductibles and co-insurance. The remaining healthcare and life insurance plans are non-contributory. In the second quarter of 2024, we amended our postretirement benefit plan to change benefits provided to certain employees.
The following table summarizes the changes in our projected benefit obligation and plan assets as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. Service costs are recorded in Operating expenses, while other net costs are recorded in Other income (expense) in the Consolidated and Combined Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The expected return on asset assumption is based on a forward-looking assessment of expected returns by asset class. The expected return produced by the investments within the fund is net of expected administrative expenses to be paid from the plan. The expected return assumption is also consistent with the long-term return goal of the investment policy.
The following benefit payments, which reflect expected future service and compensation increases, as appropriate, are expected to be made from the Transtar defined benefit plans:

The pension plan assets are invested in accordance with the Investment Policy Statement as approved by the Investment Committee. The pension plan assets are held in a master trust that is invested in pooled separate accounts. The assets are valued at fair value and are classified as a Level 2 investment. The separate accounts are valued at fair value based on the underlying equity, fixed income, or short-term instruments held by each account. The separate accounts classified as equity or fixed income funds track the composition and performance of widely used indices and invest in instruments representative of those indices. The fair value of the holdings of each separate account are used to determine the net asset value. We expect to make $ 2.8 million of contributions to the pension plan during 2025.
The targets and actual allocations for the pension plan assets as of the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 are as follows:

Prior to the spin-off, we were taxed as a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes and our taxable income or loss generated was allocated to investors by our Former Parent, which was treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In addition, certain of our subsidiaries were taxed as separate corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Taxable income or loss generated by us and our corporate subsidiaries following the spin-off and by our corporate subsidiaries is subject to U.S. federal, state and foreign corporate income tax in locations where they conduct business.

A valuation allowance has been established against our net U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets, including net operating loss carryforwards. As a result, our income tax provision is primarily related to separate company state taxes, deferred taxes for tax deductible goodwill, and deferred taxes for certain long-lived assets.
Our effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal tax rate of 21 % primarily due to state taxes and the valuation allowances against a significant portion of the deferred tax assets of our corporate subsidiaries.
The difference between our reported total provision for income taxes and the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21 % is as follows:
Year Ended December 31,
2024 2023 2022

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reported net in Other assets or Other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences become deductible. We have analyzed our deferred tax assets and have determined, based on the weight of available evidence, that it is more likely than not that a significant portion will not be realized. Accordingly, valuation allowances have been recognized as of December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 of $ 249.2 million, $ 215.1 million, and $ 214.0 million, respectively, related to certain deductible temporary differences and net operating loss carryforwards.

A summary of the changes in the valuation allowance is as follows:

Valuation allowance at end of period $ 249,223 $ 215,082 $ 214,003
As of December 31, 2024, certain of our corporate subsidiaries had U.S. federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $ 843.6 million and $ 200.7 million, respectively, that are available to offset future taxable income. In regards to federal net operating loss carryforwards, $ 168.5 million of these carryforwards will begin to expire in the year 2032 and $ 675.1 million of these carryforwards have no expiration date. As for state and local net operating loss carryforwards, most of these carryforwards will expire with the earliest year of expiration being 2025. The utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards to reduce future income taxes will depend on the relevant corporate subsidiary's ability to generate sufficient taxable income prior to the expiration of the carryforward period, if any. In addition, the maximum annual use of net operating loss carryforwards may be limited after certain changes in stock ownership.
As of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, we had not established a liability for uncertain tax positions as no such positions existed. In general, our tax returns and the tax returns of our corporate subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income tax examinations by tax authorities. Generally, we are not subject to examination by taxing authorities for tax years prior to 2020. We do not believe that it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change within 12 months of the reporting date.
14. MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND AFFILIATE TRANSACTIONS
We are externally managed by the Manager. The Manager is paid annual fees and incentive fees in exchange for advising us on various aspects of our business, formulating our investment strategies, arranging for the acquisition and disposition of assets, arranging for financing, monitoring performance, and managing our day-to-day operations, inclusive of all costs incidental thereto. In addition, the Manager may be reimbursed for various expenses incurred by the Manager on our behalf, including the costs of legal, accounting and other administrative activities. On July 31, 2022, in connection with the spin-off, we and the Manager entered into the Management Agreement with an initial term of six years .
The Manager is entitled to a management fee, incentive fees (comprised of an Income Incentive Fee and a Capital Gains Incentive Fee, described below) and reimbursement of certain expenses. The management fee is determined by taking the average value of total equity (including redeemable preferred stock and excluding non-controlling interests) of the Company determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with U.S. GAAP at the end of the two most recently completed months multiplied by an annual rate of 1.50 %, and is payable monthly in arrears in cash.
The Income Incentive Fee is calculated and distributable quarterly in arrears based on the pre-incentive fee net income for the immediately preceding calendar quarter (the “Income Incentive Fee”). For this purpose, pre-incentive fee net income means, with respect to a calendar quarter, net income attributable to stockholders during such quarter calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP excluding our pro rata share of (1) realized or unrealized gains and losses, and (2) certain non-cash or one-time items, and (3) any other adjustments as may be approved by the independent directors. Pre-incentive allocation net income does not include any Income Incentive Fee or Capital Gains Incentive Fee (described below) paid to the Manager during the relevant quarter.
The Manager is entitled to an Income Incentive Fee with respect to its pre-incentive fee net income in each calendar quarter as follows: (1) no Income Incentive Fee in any calendar quarter in which pre-incentive fee net income, expressed as a rate of return on the average value of the Company’s net equity capital (excluding non-controlling interests) at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters, does not exceed 2 % for such quarter ( 8 % annualized); (2) 100 % of pre-incentive fee net income of the Company with respect to that portion of such pre-incentive fee net income, if any, that equals or exceeds 2 % but does not exceed 2.2223 % for such quarter; and (3) 10 % of pre-incentive fee net income of the Company, if any, that exceeds 2.2223 % for portions of such quarter. These calculations will be prorated for any periods of less than three months.
The Capital Gains Incentive Fee is calculated and paid in arrears as of the end of each calendar year and is equal to 10 % of our pro rata share of cumulative realized gains from the date of the spin-off through the end of the applicable calendar year, net of our pro rata share of cumulative realized or unrealized losses, the cumulative non-cash portion of equity-based compensation expenses and all realized gains upon which prior performance-based Capital Gains Incentive Fee payments were made to the Manager.
The Management fee, Income Incentive Fee, and Capital Gains Incentive Fee that are attributable to the operations of FTAI Infrastructure is recorded in the Management fees and incentive allocation to affiliate on the Consolidated and Combined Consolidated Statements of Operations. These amounts are allocated on the following basis:
Management fee— Management fee is allocated to FTAI Infrastructure by applying the calculation methodology described above to the equity of FTAI Infrastructure included in these consolidated and combined consolidated financial statements.

For periods post-spin, we pay all of our operating expenses, except those specifically required to be borne by the Manager under the Management Agreement. For periods pre-spin, the Former Parent paid all of its operating expenses, except those specifically required to be borne by the Manager under the management agreement between the Former Parent and the Manager. The expenses required to be paid by the Company include, but are not limited to, issuance and transaction costs incident to the acquisition, disposition and financing of its assets, legal and auditing fees and expenses, the compensation and expenses of the Company’s independent directors, the costs associated with the establishment and maintenance of any credit facilities and other indebtedness (including commitment fees, legal fees, closing costs, etc.), expenses associated with other securities offerings, costs and expenses incurred in contracting with third parties (including affiliates of the Manager), the costs of printing and mailing proxies and reports to the stockholders, costs incurred by the Manager or its affiliates for travel on our behalf, costs associated with any computer software or hardware that is used by the Company, costs to obtain liability insurance to indemnify the Company’s directors and officers and the compensation and expenses of the transfer agent.
We pay or reimburse the Manager and its affiliates for performing certain legal, accounting, due diligence tasks and other services that outside professionals or outside consultants otherwise would perform, provided that such costs and reimbursements are no greater than those which would be paid to outside professionals or consultants. The Manager is responsible for all of its other costs incident to the performance of its duties under the Management Agreement, including compensation of the Manager’s employees, rent for facilities and other “overhead” expenses; we do not reimburse the Manager for these expenses.
The following table summarizes our reimbursements to the Manager:

Acquisition and transaction expenses 1,452 1,222 1,067
Total $ 7,049 $ 6,820 $ 5,353
If we terminate the Management Agreement, we will generally be required to pay the Manager a termination fee. Pursuant to the terms of the Management Agreement, the termination fee is equal to the amount of the management fee during the 12 months immediately preceding such termination and an amount equal to the Income Incentive Fee and the Capital Gains Incentive Fee that would be paid to the Manager if the Company’s assets were sold for cash at their then current fair market value (as determined by an appraisal, taking into account, among other things, the expected future value of the underlying investments).
Upon the successful completion of an offering of our common stock or other equity securities (including securities issued as consideration in an acquisition), we grant the Manager options to purchase common stock in an amount equal to 10 % of the number of common stock being sold in the offering (or if the issuance relates to equity securities other than our common stock, options to purchase an amount of common stock equal to 10 % of the gross capital raised in the equity issuance divided by the fair market value of our common stock as of the date of issuance), with an exercise price equal to the offering price per share paid by the public or other ultimate purchaser or attributed to such securities in connection with an acquisition (or the fair market value of our common stock as of the date of the equity issuance if it relates to equity securities other than our common stock). Any ultimate purchaser of common stock for which such options are granted may be an affiliate of Fortress. In connection with the spin-off, we issued 10.9 million options to purchase common stock to the Manager, with a term of 10 years and strike price of $ 2.76 as compensation to the Manager for services rendered in connection with the Redeemable Preferred Stock raise, as discussed in Notes 16 and 17. On August 12, 2024, 8.7 million Manager options were exercised, as discussed in Note 11.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, certain employees of the Manager and their related parties collectively own an approxi mately 20 % interest in Jefferson Terminal which has been accounted for as a component of non-controlling interest in consolidated subsidiaries in the accompanying consolidated and combined consolidated financial statements. The carrying amount of this non-controlling interest as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $( 119.5 ) million a nd $( 78.0 ) million, respectively. In April 2024, we made a pro-rata distribution of $ 15.0 million to the non-controlling interest holders of our Jefferson Terminal segment.

In July 2020, we purchased a 14 % interest in FYX from an affiliate of our Manager, which retained a non-controlling interest in FYX subsequent to the transaction. In May 2022, FTAI purchased an additional 51 % interest in FYX from an unrelated third party for a purchase price of $ 4.6 million, which resulted in our ownership of a majority stake in the entity. In March 2023, we purchased the remaining non-controlling interest of FYX from an affiliate of our Manager for a purchase price of $ 4.4 million. This resulted in 100 % ownership in FYX and the elimination of any non-controlling interest in FYX.
In October 2022, we entered into a shareholder loan agreement with our equity method investee, Long Ridge. Refer to Note 5 for additional information.
The Company subleases a portion of office space from an entity controlled by certain employees of the Manager since February 2023. For the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company incurred approximat el y $ 0.5 million and $ 0.4 million o f rent and office related expenses, respectively.
On May 14, 2024, certain members of Fortress management and affiliates of Mubadala Investment Company, through its wholly owned asset management subsidiary, Mubadala Capital (“Mubadala”), completed their acquisition of 100% of the equity of Fortress. Fortress continues to operate as an independent investment manager under the Fortress brand, with autonomy over investment processes and decision making, personnel and operations.
15. SEGMENT INFORMATION
During the third quarter of 2022, we reorganized our historical operating segments into five operating segments as described below. Additionally, during the third quarter of 2022, we modified our definition of Adjusted EBITDA to exclude the impact of interest and other costs on pension and other post-employment benefits (“OPEB”) liabilities and dividends and accretion of redeemable preferred stock. During the first quarter of 2023, we modified our definition of Adjusted EBITDA to exclude the impact of other non-recurring items, such as severance expense. All segment data and related disclosures for earlier periods presented herein have been recast to reflect this segment reporting structure.
Our reportable segments represent strategic business units comprised of investments in different types of infrastructure assets. We have five reportable segments which operate in infrastructure businesses across several market sectors, all in North America. Our reportable segments are (i) Railroad, (ii) Jefferson Terminal, (iii) Repauno, (iv) Power and Gas and (v) Sustainability and Energy Transition. The Railroad segment is comprised of six freight railroads and one switching company that provide rail service to certain manufacturing and production facilities, in addition to KRS, a railcar cleaning operation. The Jefferson Terminal segment consists of a multi-modal crude oil and refined products terminal, Jefferson Terminal South and other related assets. The Repauno segment consists of a 1,630 -acre deep-water port located along the Delaware River with an underground storage cavern, a multipurpose dock, a rail-to-ship transloading system and multiple industrial development opportunities. The Power and Gas segment is comprised of an equity method investment in Long Ridge, which is a 1,660 -acre multi-modal terminal located along the Ohio River with rail, dock, and multiple industrial development opportunities, including a power plant in operation. The Sustainability and Energy Transition segment is comprised of Aleon/Gladieux, Clean Planet, and CarbonFree, and all three investments are development stage businesses focused on sustainability and recycling.
Corporate and Other primarily consists of unallocated corporate general and administrative expenses, management fees, debt and redeemable preferred stock. Additionally, Corporate and Other includes an investment in an unconsolidated entity engaged in the acquisition and leasing of shipping containers and an operating company that provides roadside assistance services for the intermodal and over-the-road trucking industries.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) evaluates investment performance for each reportable segment primarily based on Adjusted EBITDA. Our company’s CODM is our Chief Executive Officer, who uses Adjusted EBITDA as it serves as a consistent measure for comparing profitability between periods and across segments, independent of each segment’s capital structure, which may vary materially, and because it neutralizes one-time or other non-operational items. Decisions regarding resource allocation are made based on Adjusted EBITDA performance, together with other relevant factors, including but not limited to, market dynamics, growth opportunities and expected future performance.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) attributable to stockholders and Former Parent, adjusted (a) to exclude the impact of provision for (benefit from) income taxes, equity-based compensation expense, acquisition and transaction expenses, losses on the modification or extinguishment of debt and capital lease obligations, changes in fair value of non-hedge derivative instruments, asset impairment charges, incentive allocations, depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense, interest and other costs on pension and OPEB liabilities, dividends and accretion of redeemable preferred stock, and other non-recurring items, (b) to include the impact of our pro-rata share of Adjusted EBITDA from unconsolidated entities, and (c) to exclude the impact of equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated entities and the non-controlling share of Adjusted EBITDA.
We believe that net income (loss) attributable to stockholders and Former Parent, as defined by U.S. GAAP, is the most appropriate earnings measure with which to reconcile Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) attributable to stockholders and Former Parent as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
The following tables set forth certain information for each reportable segment as provided to and evaluated by the CODM:

16. REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK
On August 1, 2022, the Company issued and sold 300,000 shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock at a price of $ 1,000 per share and $ 0.01 par value. The shares were issued at a 3 % discount for net proceeds of $ 291.0 million. The Company also issued two classes of warrants to the preferred stockholders (see Note 17). The fair value of the Redeemable Preferred Stock and the warrants at issuance were determined to be $ 242.7 million and $ 13.8 million, respectively. The Company incurred $ 16.4 million of issuance costs related to the Redeemable Preferred Stock and warrants. Additionally, the Company issued options to the Manager with a total fair value of $ 18.1 million (see Note 14).
The Redeemable Preferred Stock has the following rights, preferences and restrictions:
Voting
Each holder of the Redeemable Preferred Stock will have one vote per share on any matter on which holders of the Redeemable Preferred Stock are entitled to vote separately as a class, whether at a meeting or by written consent. The holders of shares of the Redeemable Preferred Stock do not otherwise have any voting rights.
Liquidation Preference
The Redeemable Preferred Stock ranks senior to the common stock with respect to dividend rights and rights upon the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company. Upon a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, each share of Redeemable Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive an amount per share equal to the greater of (i) the purchase price paid by the purchaser, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends (the “Liquidation Preference”) and (ii) the purchase price, plus $ 150.0 million of cash Dividends (the ”Base Preferred Return Amount”).
Dividends
Dividends on the Redeemable Preferred Stock are payable at a rate equal to 14.0 % per annum subject to increase in accordance with the terms of the Redeemable Preferred Stock. Specifically, the rate will be increased by 2.0 % per annum for any periods during the first two years following closing of the issuance of the Redeemable Preferred Stock, where the dividend is not paid in cash. Prior to the second anniversary of the issuance date, such dividends will automatically accrue and accumulate on each share of Redeemable Preferred Stock, whether or not declared and paid, or they may be paid in cash at our discretion. After the second anniversary of the issuance date, we are required to pay such dividends in cash. Failure to pay such dividends will result in a dividend rate equal to 18.0 % per annum, and a failure to pay cash dividends for 12 monthly dividend periods (whether or not consecutive) following the second anniversary of the issuance date will constitute an event of noncompliance. The dividend rate on the Redeemable Preferred Stock will increase by 1.0 % per annum beginning on the fifth anniversary of the issuance date of the Redeemable Preferred Stock.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company has $ 122.5 million of PIK dividends, increasing our Redeemable Preferred Stock balance. The Company had dividends paid in cash of $ 14.7 million and $ 1.8 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Dividends recorded in Dividends and accretion of redeemable preferred stock on the Consolidated and Combined Consolidated Statements of Operations totaled $ 64.0 million and $ 55.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
The Company has presented the Redeemable Preferred Stock in temporary equity and is accreting the discount and debt issuance costs using the interest method to the earliest redemption date of August 1, 2030. Such accretion, recorded in Dividends and accretion of redeemable preferred stock on the Consolidated and Combined Consolidated Statements of Operations, totaled $ 6.8 million and $ 6.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Redemption
Mandatory Redemption : The Redeemable Preferred Stock is not mandatorily redeemable at the option of the holders, except upon the occurrence of any (i) bankruptcy event, (ii) any change of control event, or (iii) any debt acceleration event (together with any bankruptcy event and change of control event) (each a “Mandatory Redemption Event”). Upon the occurrence of a Mandatory Redemption Event, to the extent not prohibited by law, we will be required to redeem all preferred stock in cash at the greater of the (i) Liquidation Preference, and (ii) the Base Preferred Return Amount at the date of redemption.
Optional Redemption : The Redeemable Preferred Stock is optionally redeemable at the option of the Company, at any time, at the greater of the (i) Liquidation Preference, and (ii) the Base Preferred Return Amount at the date of redemption. Upon certain contingent events or events of noncompliance, the preferred stockholders have the right to a majority of the board seats of the Company.
If the Redeemable Preferred Stock were redeemed as of December 31, 2024, it would be redeemable for $ 431.8 million.
Amendment to Certificate of Designations of Our Series A Preferred Stock
On July 5, 2023, a Certificate of Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Certificate of Designations for its Series A Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designations”) became effective, amending certain provisions of the Certificate of Designations to increase the aggregate principal amount of outstanding indebtedness that the Company and its subsidiaries may incur in order to facilitate the issuance of the additional $ 100.0 million of Senior Notes due 2027 (the “Additional Notes”). The holders of our Series A

17. EARNINGS PER SHARE AND EQUITY
Basic loss per share of common stock (“LPS”) is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to stockholders and Former Parent by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding. Diluted LPS is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to stockholders and Former Parent by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding, plus any potentially dilutive securities, if dilutive. Potentially dilutive securities are calculated using the treasury stock method.
The calculation of basic and diluted LPS is presented below:
Year Ended December 31,

Net loss $ ( 266,064 ) $ ( 159,750 ) $ ( 187,517 )

______________________________________________________________________________________
(1) The year ended December 31, 2024 includes penny warrants that were converted into common stock during the year.
(2) Diluted LPS includes the dilutive effect of subsidiary earnings per share.
For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, 2,681,996 , 2,917,041 and 586,269 shares of common stock, respectively, have been excluded from the calculation of Diluted LPS because the impact would be anti-dilutive. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, — , 3,332,478 and 3,330,659 of warrants, respectively, have been excluded from the calculation of Diluted LPS because the impact would be anti-dilutive.
On the Spin-off Date, FTAI distributed one share of FTAI Infrastructure, Inc. common stock for each FTAI common share held by FTAI’s shareholders of record as of the record date. As of that date, 99,387,467 shares of common stock were distributed. This number of shares is utilized for the calculation of basic and diluted loss per share for all periods presented prior to the spin-off. For the year ended December 31, 2022, these shares are treated as issued and outstanding for purposes of calculating historical earnings per share. For periods prior to the spin-off, it is assumed that there are no dilutive equity instruments as there were no equity awards of FTAI Infrastructure, Inc. outstanding prior to the spin-off.
In addition, as of the Spin-off Date, each FTAI option held by the Manager or by the directors, officers, employees, service providers, consultants and advisors of the Manager was converted into an adjusted FTAI option and a new FTAI Infrastructure Inc. option. The exercise price of each adjusted FTAI Infrastructure Inc. option was set to collectively maintain the intrinsic value of the FTAI option immediately prior to the spin-off and to maintain the ratio of the exercise price of the adjusted FTAI option and the FTAI Infrastructure Inc. option, respectively, to the fair market value of the underlying shares. The terms and conditions applicable to each FTAI Infrastructure option are substantially similar to the terms and conditions otherwise applicable to the FTAI option.
On August 1, 2022, we issued 10.9 million options to purchase common stock to the Manager, with a term of 10 years and strike price of $ 2.76 as compensation to the Manager for services rendered in connection with the Redeemable Preferred Stock raise, as discussed in Note 16.
