Ftai Infrastructure Inc.
An owner and operator of critical infrastructure - railroads, crude terminals, and power plants - across the United States. Spun off in 2022 from Fortress's transportation arm, it runs the Transtar railroads serving U.S. Steel, the Jefferson crude terminal on the Gulf Coast, and the Long Ridge gas-fired plant in Ohio. Its Repauno terminal on the Delaware River sits on a site where a du Pont dynamite factory opened in 1880, taking its name from a Lenape place name meaning "muddy water."
FTAI Infrastructure books a $58.8M impairment and a $105.5M interest charge, widening the quarterly net loss to $139.4M.
The loss deepened as the cost of the company's debt overwhelmed its growth. Revenue rose 53% to $186.8 million, driven by the Wheeling acquisition, but a $58.8 million asset and a $46.3 million increase in pushed the net loss to $139.4 million. The company is now counting on asset sales and refinancing to stay afloat.

Management's Discussion and Analysis

⌄
Total revenues increased $64.5M to $186.8M in Q2 FY2026, driven by the December 2025 Wheeling acquisition in the Railroad , higher Jefferson Terminal throughput, and stronger Power and Gas results.
Rail revenues rose $46.5M to $88.8M in Q2 FY2026, primarily from the Wheeling consolidation plus increased carloads and fuel surcharges.
rose $30.2 million to $76.1 million, as the Railroad 's $21.7 million gain and higher Jefferson Terminal throughput offset a decline in the Power and Gas segment.
turned positive at $39.0 million for the quarter, a swing from negative $5.2 million a year ago, though remained negative at negative $43.5 million.

What changed
The $218 million Jefferson Taxable Series 2024B Bonds due July 2026, flagged in prior quarters as a critical refinancing, are now being addressed with a new Bridge Loan Credit Agreement that management expects to refinance, though the terms remain uncertain.
The planned sale of the Long Ridge power plant, first disclosed in Q1 FY2026, is now expected to close by November 30, 2026, and management is relying on its proceeds to improve liquidity.
The Jefferson Terminal balance of $122.7 million, repeatedly flagged for its thin 10-20% fair-value cushion, now faces an additional risk from a new rail safety mandate requiring legacy tank cars to exit flammable liquid service by 2029, which could reduce hazardous-materials customer volumes.
Customer concentration eased further, with the largest single customer falling to 23% of total from 27% in FY2025 and 50% in FY2024, though two customers still represent 33% of .
What to watch
Whether the Long Ridge sale closes by the November 30, 2026 deadline, at what price, and how the proceeds affect the $2.29 billion load and the going-concern risk.
Whether the refinancing of the Jefferson Bridge Loan Credit Agreement is completed and on what terms, or whether the company is forced to draw on the $255 million backstop agreement.
Whether the Series A Preferred Stock paid-in-kind accrual triggers an Event of Noncompliance that allows preferred holders to elect a board majority.
The outcome of the next Jefferson Terminal test, given the company's negative equity base of $518.7 million and the new regulatory risk to hazardous-materials volumes.

Liquidity remains tight: cash used in operating activities was $30.3M for H1 FY2026, and management expects the sale of Long Ridge and refinancing of the Jefferson Bridge Loan Credit Agreement to provide sufficient liquidity over the next twelve months.
