Fourth quarter 2018 adjusted EBITDA increased 20 percent to $322 million, versus $268 million one year ago. Fiscal year 2018 adjusted EBITDA increased 42 percent to $826 million, versus $582 million in 2017. Full-year adjusted EBITDA margins increased to 8.1 percent, up from 6.8 percent for 2017. This marks the company's sixth consecutive year of annual growth in adjusted EBITDA on both a dollar and percentage basis.

Revenues in the quarter increased 28 percent, to $3.3 billion, compared to fourth quarter 2017. The revenue increase was largely driven by a 45-percent increase in the company's Core volumes, which represent its sales of Class 6-8 trucks and buses in the United States and Canada. Revenue for fiscal year 2018 was up 20 percent to $10.25 billion, compared to $8.6 billion in fiscal year 2017, attributable to annual revenue growth in all four operating segments. Class 8 retail market share grew to 13.5 percent in fiscal year 2018 versus 11.8 percent in fiscal year 2017.

Navistar finished fourth quarter 2018 with $1.42 billion in consolidated cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, and with $1.36 billion in manufacturing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. For the year, the company generated $307 million of manufacturing free cash flow.

"2018 was a very strong year for the industry, and a breakout year for Navistar," said Troy Clarke, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We were the only truck OEM to grow Class 8 share during the year. With the industry's newest product line-up, superior quality and a strong focus on customer uptime, we expect to gain market share in 2019 for the third year in a row."

The company finished 2018 with strong momentum across the board. During the fourth quarter, the company launched the International® CV Series line of Class 4/5 trucks, the only Class 4/5 truck that is designed, distributed and supported by a manufacturer specializing in commercial vehicles. Year-over-year growth in heavy retail market share, up 2.5 share points, was attributable to strong sales of the International® LT® Series on-highway truck and the 12.4-liter A26 engine. The company's IC Bus® school buses, led by alternative-fuel offerings, also improved retail share by 1.3 share points. Additionally, its medium-duty International® MV Series and vocational International® HV Series built improved order share resulting in a strong backlog. The company reported a backlog of 45,400 units in its Core markets, up from 15,600 at the end of 2017.

Earlier this month, Navistar announced a definitive agreement under which affiliates of Cerberus Capital Management, L.P. will acquire a majority interest in Navistar's defense business, Navistar Defense. Following the close of the transaction, Cerberus will become a 70 percent owner and Navistar will remain a 30 percent owner. The agreement also includes an exclusive long-term supply agreement for commercial parts and chassis. The transaction, subject to regulatory approval, is expected to close in the first quarter of 2019.

In October, Navistar improved its debt profile by repaying its 4.5% senior subordinated convertible notes issued in October 2013. Repayment of the outstanding principal of $200 million at maturity was funded with cash on hand.

The company provided the following 2019 industry and financial guidance, including the fully consolidated financial impact of Navistar Defense:

  • Industry retail deliveries of Class 6-8 trucks and buses in the United States and Canada are forecast to be 395,000 to 425,000 units, with Class 8 retail deliveries of 265,000 to 295,000 units.
  • Revenues are expected to be between $10.75 billion and $11.25 billion.
  • Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be between $850 million and $900 million.

Following the completion of the partial sale of Navistar Defense, the company will update its 2019 guidance.

"While we expect 2019 to be another strong year for Navistar and the industry, it's important to recognize that Navistar as an investment is much more than just a cycle play," Clarke said. "As our ongoing improvements demonstrate, the company also has strong opportunities to benefit by recapturing market share, growing parts revenue, improving margins, generating free cash flow and further de-risking the balance sheet. For all these reasons, looking forward the company is well positioned to generate superior shareholder value."

Amounts attributable to Navistar International Corporation.

Truck Segment – For the fourth quarter 2018, the Truck segment recorded a profit of $197 million, compared with a year-ago fourth quarter profit of $112 million. The year-over-year change was primarily due to the impact of higher volume in the company's Core markets and strong defense results, partially offset by higher commodity and structural costs, as well as the impact of supplier constraints.

For the 2018 fiscal year, the Truck segment recorded a profit of $397 million, compared with a fiscal year 2017 loss of $6 million. The improvement was primarily driven by the impact of higher volumes in our Core markets, higher other income, higher profitability in defense, and a decline in used truck losses.

Parts Segment — For the fourth quarter 2018, the Parts segment recorded a profit of $156 million, compared with a year-ago fourth quarter profit of $157 million. The results were primarily driven by higher Fleetrite™ brand sales, offset by higher freight-related expenses and internal allocation of development, engineering and SG&A expenses.

For the 2018 fiscal year, the Parts segment recorded a profit of $569 million, compared to a fiscal year 2017 profit of $616 million. The eight-percent decrease was primarily driven by lower U.S. margins, and higher freight-related expenses and internal allocation of structural costs.

Global Operations Segment — For the fourth quarter 2018, the Global Operations segment recorded a profit of $4 million, compared to a year-ago fourth quarter profit of $1 million. The year-over-year change was driven by higher volumes due to improvements in the Brazilian economy, and cost reduction benefits associated with operational restructuring implemented in early 2018.

For the 2018 fiscal year, the Global Operations segment recorded a profit of $2 million compared to a year-ago fiscal year loss of $7 million. The Global Operations segment results improvement was primarily due to the impact of higher engine volumes and lower manufacturing and SG&A expenses as a result of the company's cost reduction efforts.

Financial Services Segment— For the fourth quarter 2018, the Financial Services segment recorded a profit of $26 million, flat compared with fourth quarter 2017. The results were primarily driven by increased financing revenues driven by higher average portfolio balances, which were offset by increased borrowing costs driven by higher average borrowings outstanding and higher interest rates.

For the 2018 fiscal year, the Financial Services segment recorded a profit of $88 million, compared to a year-ago fiscal year profit of $77 million. The increase is primarily driven by higher revenues and is partially offset by higher interest expense, an increase in the provision for loan losses in Mexico, and higher depreciation expense on operating leases.

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) attributable to Navistar International Corporation, net of tax, plus manufacturing interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. We believe EBITDA provides meaningful information regarding 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.

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 2018, we recorded $14 million of impairment charges related to the exit of our railcar business in Cherokee, Alabama, certain long-lived assets and certain assets under operating leases in our Truck and Financial Services segments. 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.

   

(C)

During 2018, we recognized a benefit of $1 million related to adjustments for restructuring in our Truck, Global Operations and Corporate segments.  During 2017, we recorded charges of $13 million primarily attributable to $41 million of charges related to our plan to cease production at our Melrose Park Facility, a net benefit of $36 million related to the resolution of the closing agreement and wind up charges for our Chatham, Ontario plant, and the release of $1 million in other postemployment benefits liabilities in connection with the sale of our fabrication business in Conway, Arkansas. We also recorded $6 million of restructuring charges in Brazil related to cost reduction actions consisting of personnel costs for employee separation and related benefits.

   

(D)

During 2018, we recognized an additional charge of $1 million for a jury verdict related to the MaxxForce engine EGR product litigation in our Truck segment. During 2017, we recognized a charge of $31 million related to that same jury verdict 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 2018, we recorded a charge of $46 million for the write off of debt issuance costs and discounts associated with the repurchase of our 8.25% Senior Notes and the refinancing of our previously existing Term Loan. During 2017, we recorded a charge of $5 million related to third party fees and debt issuance costs associated with the replacement of our Term Loan with our Term Loan Credit Agreement and the refinancing of the revolving portion of the NFC bank credit facility in our Financial Services segment.

   

(G)

During 2018, we purchased a group annuity contract for certain retired pension plan participants resulting in a plan remeasurement. As a result, we recorded a pension settlement accounting charge of $9 million in SG&A expenses.

   

(H)

During 2018, we settled a business economic loss claim relating to our Alabama engine manufacturing facility in which we will receive a net present value of $70 million, net of our fees and costs, from the Deepwater Horizon Settlement Program. We recorded the $70 million net present value of the settlement and related interest income of $2 million in Other Income, net.
