LISLE, Ill., Dec. 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Navistar International Corporation (NYSE: NAV) today announced a fourth quarter 2017 net income of $135 million, or $1.36 per diluted share, compared to a fourth quarter 2016 net loss of $34 million, or $0.42 per diluted share. Navistar reported net income of $30 million, or $0.32 per diluted share for fiscal year 2017, versus a net loss of $97 million, or $1.19 per diluted share, for fiscal year 2016.

Fourth quarter 2017 adjusted EBITDA was $268 million, which included $11 million of adjustments. Adjusted EBITDA margins increased to 10.3 percent. Fiscal year 2017 adjusted EBITDA was $582 million, versus $508 million adjusted EBITDA for 2016. Full-year adjusted EBITDA margins increased to 6.8 percent.

Revenues in the quarter increased 26 percent, to $2.6 billion, compared to fourth quarter 2016. The revenue increase was largely driven by a 31-percent increase in the company's Core (Class 6-8 trucks and buses in the United States and Canada) volumes. Revenue for fiscal year 2017 was up six percent to $8.6 billion, compared to $8.1 billion in fiscal year 2016.

Navistar finished the fourth quarter 2017 with $1.1 billion in consolidated cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities including $1.0 billion in manufacturing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities.

"Our 2017 was a breakthrough year, as we returned to profitability and grew our market share 1.5 points," said Troy A. Clarke, chairman, president and CEO. "These results were driven by stronger sales, our steady investment in the industry's newest product lineup, early results from our strategic alliance with Volkswagen Truck & Bus and our ongoing focus on cost."

The company finished 2017 with strong momentum across the board. During the quarter, the company launched the International® HV Series line of vocational trucks. The HV Series, in addition to the HX Series premium vocational truck lineup, now has the option of being powered by the International A26 engine. The company also announced plans for its next-generation powertrains with alliance partner Volkswagen Truck & Bus, including big bore diesel, as well as electric medium-duty and electric bus platforms launching as early as 2019.

Also during the fourth quarter, Navistar and Volkswagen Truck & Bus announced their intention to converge their connected vehicle activities – OnCommand® Connection and RIO, Volkswagen Truck & Bus's digital brand. OnCommand Connection now has an industry leading 370,000 connected vehicles.

Navistar refinanced its manufacturing debt in early November, which improved its debt profile and provided greater financial flexibility. The transaction yielded $200 million of additional liquidity and extended the company's debt maturities by four years. Additionally, it will save approximately $25 million in annualized interest in 2018 and $34 million in 2019, following the repayment of convertible debt that comes due in 2018.

The company provided the following 2018 fiscal year guidance:

  • Retail deliveries of Class 6-8 trucks and buses in the United States and Canada are forecast to be in the range of 345,000 units to 375,000 units.
  • Revenues are expected to be between $9 billion and $9.5 billion.
  • Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be between $675 million and $725 million.
  • Year-end manufacturing cash is expected to be about $1 billion.

"We think 2018 is shaping up to be one of the strongest industry years this decade, and we're positioned to make it a breakout year for Navistar," Clarke said. "We'll drive even greater customer consideration with our commitment to uptime and our ongoing cadence of new product launches, which will include the introduction of our new medium-duty vehicle, as well as new IC Bus offerings. At the same time, we will build on our alliance with Volkswagen Truck & Bus by investing in and collaborating on the major technologies that are reshaping our industry, including electric, connectivity and autonomous."

________________

(A)   Amounts attributable to Navistar International Corporation.

 

Truck Segment For the fourth quarter 2017, the Truck segment recorded a profit of $112 million, compared with a year-ago fourth quarter loss of $61 million. The year-over-year change was primarily due to the impact of higher volume in the company's Core markets and a decrease in used truck losses.

 

For the 2017 fiscal year, the Truck segment recorded a loss of $6 million, compared with a fiscal year 2016 loss of $189 million. The improvement was primarily driven by the impact of higher volumes in the company's Core markets and Mexico and a decrease in used truck losses, partially offset by market pressures and charges related to EGR product litigation.

Parts Segment — For the fourth quarter 2017, the Parts segment recorded a profit of $157 million, down slightly from year-ago fourth quarter, primarily driven by the gradual runoff of the Blue Diamond Parts business, partially offset by double digit revenue growth from its Fleetrite and the remanufactured parts businesses.

For the 2017 fiscal year, the Parts segment recorded its second-largest profit ever at $616 million, compared to a fiscal year 2016 profit of $640 million. The four-percent decrease was primarily driven by margin declines in Blue Diamond Parts, partially offset by a slight year-over-year increase in North America Core market volumes.

Global Operations Segment — For the fourth quarter 2017, the Global Operations segment recorded a profit of $1 million, compared to a year-ago fourth quarter loss of $2 million. The year-over-year change was driven by higher volumes due to improvements in the Brazilian economy, offset by restructuring charges.

For the 2017 fiscal year, the Global Operations segment recorded a loss of $7 million compared to a year-ago fiscal year loss of $21 million. The Global Operations segment results improvement was primarily due to lower manufacturing and SG&A expenses as a result of the company's cost reduction efforts and a one-time benefit of $9 million recognized as an adjustment to pre-existing warranties, partially offset by restructuring charges.

Financial Services Segment — For the fourth quarter 2017, the Financial Services segment recorded a profit of $26 million, compared with fourth quarter 2016 profit of $23 million. The year-over-year change was primarily driven by higher receivable balances and a lower provision for losses in the company's Mexico portfolio.

For the 2017 fiscal year, the Financial Services segment recorded a profit of $77 million, compared to a year-ago fiscal year profit of $100 million. The decrease is primarily driven by the paydown of certain intercompany loan receivables and lower interest margin resulting from an increase in the company's average borrowing rate.

SEC Regulation G Non-GAAP Reconciliation:
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 represent 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 consist of selling, general and administrative expenses and engineering and product development costs.

_____________________

(A)

Adjustments to pre-existing warranties reflect changes in our estimate of warranty costs for products sold in prior periods. Such adjustments typically occur when claims experience deviates from historical and expected trends. Our warranty liability is generally affected by component failure rates, repair costs, and the timing of failures. Future events and circumstances related to these factors could materially change our estimates and require adjustments to our liability. In addition, new product launches require a greater use of judgment in developing estimates until historical experience becomes available.

(B)

During 2017, we recorded $13 million of asset impairment charges in our Truck segment relating to assets held for sale of our Conway, Arkansas fabrication business and for certain assets under operating leases. During 2016, the charges primarily included $17 million related to certain long-lived assets and $8 million related to certain operating leases. We also determined that $1 million of trademark asset carrying value was impaired.

(C)

During 2017, we recorded a charge of $13 million. We recorded $41 million of charges related to our plan to cease production at our Melrose Park Facility, a net benefit of $43 million related to the resolution of the closing agreement for our Chatham, Ontario plant, and the release of $1 million in OPEB liabilities in connection with the sale of our fabrication business in Conway, Arkansas. We recorded $6 million of restructuring charges in Brazil related to cost reduction actions consisting of personnel costs for employee separation and related benefits. During 2016, we recorded $7 million of charges related to the 2011 closure of our Chatham, Ontario plant.

(D)

During 2017, we recognized a charge of $31 million for a jury verdict related to Maxxforce engine EGR product litigation in our Truck segment.

(E)

During 2017, we recognized a gain of $6 million related to the sale of a business line in our Parts segment.

(F)

During 2017, we recorded a charge of $5 million related to third party fees and debt issuance costs associated with the repricing of our Term Loan and the refinancing of the revolving portion of the NFC bank credit facility in our Financial Services segment.

(G)

During 2016, we received a $15 million one-time fee from a third party.
