LISLE, Ill., Dec. 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Navistar International Corporation (NYSE: NAV) today announced a fourth quarter 2015 net loss of $50 million, or $0.61 per diluted share, compared to a fourth quarter 2014 net loss of $72 million, or $0.88 per diluted share. Revenues in the quarter were $2.5 billion.

Fourth quarter 2015 EBITDA was $86 million versus EBITDA of $66 million in the same period one year ago. This year's fourth quarter included $69 million in restructuring-related and impairment charges; $40 million in pre-existing warranty adjustments; and $14 million in debt refinancing fees and costs. As a result, adjusted fourth quarter 2015 EBITDA was $209 million, equating to a fourth quarter adjusted EBITDA margin of 8.4 percent.

Revenues in the quarter declined 17 percent compared to fourth quarter 2014. Higher Class 6/7 medium and bus chargeouts in the company's Core (U.S. and Canada) market were more than offset by reduced volumes in the company's export and global operations, lower Class 8 truck chargeouts in its Core market, and Navistar's exit earlier this year from the Blue Diamond Truck joint venture.

"We delivered on our adjusted EBITDA end-of year run rate target of 8 percent or better, thanks to a favorable mix of truck sales and record parts profitability in our core North America market in the fourth quarter," said Troy A. Clarke, Navistar president and chief executive officer. "We also benefited from our continued focus on cost management across our operations, marked by a $74 million improvement in structural costs in the quarter."

Navistar finished the fourth quarter 2015 with $1.01 billion in manufacturing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities.

During the quarter, the company announced a long-term agreement with General Motors Co. (GM) to develop and assemble medium-duty, conventional cab Class 4/5 commercial vehicles, allowing Navistar to strengthen its product lineup. The trucks, which are scheduled to go into production in 2018 and will be built at Navistar's Springfield, Ohio plant, will be jointly developed using Navistar's expertise in commercial vehicles and manufacturing capabilities, and GM's commercial components and engines.

As for full-year 2015 results, Navistar reported a net loss of $184 million, or $2.25 per diluted share, versus a net loss of $619 million, or $7.60 per diluted share, for fiscal year 2014. Fiscal year 2015 adjusted EBITDA was $494 million versus $306 million adjusted EBITDA for 2014. Revenue for fiscal year 2015 was $10.1 billion, compared to $10.8 billion in fiscal year 2014.

Chargeouts in the company's Core North America market increased by 3,500 units, or 6 percent, in 2015, reflecting an 18-percent increase in Class 6/7 medium trucks, a 10-percent increase in school buses, and a 7-percent increase in Class 8 severe service, partially offset by a 4-percent decline in Class 8 heavy truck.  Total market share for Class 6-8 and bus for the year was 16 percent. Operationally, the company reduced its total costs by more than $300 million in 2015, including $114 million in structural cost reductions, with the remainder coming from reduced material and logistics spending and lower manufacturing costs.

"For the third consecutive year, we generated around $200 million in adjusted EBITDA improvement, and we expect this improvement trend to continue in 2016," Clarke said. "We are building the best products we've ever built, and we are winning back customers. We have identified and begun implementing actions to further lower our material spend and structural costs, while driving greater efficiencies in our manufacturing operations. As a result, we expect to build on our 2015 progress, and our goal is to achieve profitability and be free cash flow positive in 2016."

The company provided the following guidance:

  • Forecasts retail deliveries of Class 6-8 trucks and buses in the United States and Canada will be in the range of 350,000 units to 380,000 units for fiscal year 2016.
  • Full-year 2016 revenues to be between $9.5 - $10.0 billion.
  • Full-year 2016 adjusted EBITDA of $600 - $700 million.

Truck Segment – For the fourth quarter 2015, the Truck segment recorded a loss of $36 million, compared with a year-ago fourth quarter loss of $40 million. This year's fourth quarter results also reflect $26 million in restructuring charges, primarily related to reduction-in-force initiatives initiated at the end of the quarter, as well as $40 million in pre-existing warranty charges, while last year's results included $27 million in restructuring related charges and $11 million in pre-existing warranty benefits. The year-over-year improvement was driven by cost management activities, favorable mix in its Core market, and improved margins, which more than offset the lower chargeouts in its Core market.

For the fiscal year 2015, the Truck segment recorded a loss of $141 million, compared with a fiscal year 2014 loss of $380 million. The year-over-year improvement was primarily driven by a favorable shift in product mix in Core market, improved margins and lower structural costs, partially offset by an increase in used truck reserves and higher accelerated depreciation charges related to the company's exit of the foundry business.

Parts Segment — For the fourth quarter 2015, the Parts segment recorded record profits of $163 million, compared to a year-ago fourth quarter profit of $150 million. The increase was primarily due to stronger margins in its Core commercial markets.

For the fiscal year 2015, the Parts segment recorded record profits of $592 million, compared to a fiscal year 2014 profit of $528 million. The 12-percent increase was primarily driven by higher revenues, margin improvements in its commercial markets and cost-reduction initiatives, partially offset by the performance decline in its Blue Diamond Parts business due to the decrease of serviceable units in operation.

Global Operations Segment — For the fourth quarter 2015, the Global Operations segment recorded a loss of $27 million, compared to a year-ago fourth quarter loss of $56 million. The year-over-year improvement was primarily driven by ongoing actions to lower the company's cost structure in its South American engine business, to offset the impact of the ongoing downturn in Brazil's economy.

For the 2015 fiscal year, the Global Operations segment recorded a loss of $67 million compared to a year-ago fiscal year loss of $274 million. Excluding the impact of the prior year impairments of $149 million and current year restructuring costs increase of $16 million, the Global Operations segment improved year-over-year performance by $74 million, primarily due to lower year-over-year manufacturing and structural costs.

Financial Services Segment— For the fourth quarter 2015, the Financial Services segment recorded a profit of $26 million, equal to fourth quarter 2014 profit of $26 million.

For the fiscal year 2015, the Financial Services segment recorded a profit of $98 million, comparable to a fiscal year 2014 profit of $97 million, as an increase in revenue and a decrease in the provision for loan losses were offset by lower interest income from intercompany loans.

During the third quarter of 2015, it was determined that multiemployer plan accounting should have been applied in recording postretirement benefits related to our Financial Services segment, which provides that assets and liabilities of a plan are recorded only on the parent company and that periodic contributions to the plan made by the participating subsidiary are charged to expense for the purposes of the subsidiary's financial statements.  As a result, we have reclassified $16 million of deferred tax assets between Financial Services and Corporate and Eliminations related to the postretirement benefits reclassified between NIC and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries.  This reclassification did not impact consolidated segment assets for the year-ended October 31, 2014.

The financial measures presented below are unaudited and not in accordance with, or an alternative for, financial measures presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The non-GAAP financial information presented herein should be considered supplemental to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and are reconciled to the most appropriate GAAP number below.

Earnings (loss) Before Interest, Income Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization ("EBITDA"):

We define EBITDA as our consolidated net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Navistar International Corporation, net of tax, plus manufacturing interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. We believe EBITDA provides meaningful information to the performance of our business and therefore we use it to supplement our GAAP reporting. We have chosen to provide this supplemental information to investors, analysts and other interested parties to enable them to perform additional analyses of operating results.

Adjusted EBITDA:

We believe that adjusted EBITDA, which excludes certain identified items that we do not consider to be part of our ongoing business, improves the comparability of year to year results, and is representative of our underlying performance. Management uses this information to assess and measure the performance of our operating segments. We have chosen to provide this supplemental information to investors, analysts and other interested parties to enable them to perform additional analyses of operating results, to illustrate the results of operations giving effect to the non-GAAP adjustments shown in the below reconciliations, and  to provide an additional measure of performance.

Adjusted EBITDA margin:

We define Adjusted EBITDA margin as a percentage of the Company's consolidated sales and revenues. We have chosen to provide this supplemental information to investors, analysts and other interested parties to enable them to perform additional analyses of operating results, to illustrate the results of operations giving effect to the non-GAAP adjustments shown in the below reconciliations, and  to provide an additional measure of performance.

Manufacturing Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Marketable Securities:

Manufacturing cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities represents the Company's consolidated cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities excluding cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities of our financial services operations. We include marketable securities with our cash and cash equivalents when assessing our liquidity position as our investments are highly liquid in nature. We have chosen to provide this supplemental information to investors, analysts and other interested parties to enable them to perform additional analyses of our ability to meet our operating requirements, capital expenditures, equity investments, and financial obligations.

Structural costs consists of Selling, general and administrative expenses and Engineering and product development costs.
