Navistar reports third quarter 2018 results

Third quarter 2018 EBITDA was $284 million, versus EBITDA of $160 million in the same period one year earlier

Third quarter 2018 EBITDA was $284 million, versus EBITDA of $160 million in the same period one year earlier. The third quarter of 2018 included $66 million in adjustments, including a $71 million gain from a one-time settlement, $4 million of pre-existing warranty accrual reversals, and $9 million in charges for asset impairments and restructuring costs. Excluding those items, adjusted EBITDA was $218 million in the third quarter of 2018, compared to $194 million in the same period one year ago. While adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter was affected by supplier constraints that delayed deliveries and impacted volumes, the company aggressively managed these headwinds. These vehicles are making their way through the delivery process and will be reflected in fourth quarter sales.

Revenues in the quarter were $2.6 billion, up 18 percent from the same period one year ago, primarily due to a 26 percent increase in Core market (Class 6-8 trucks and buses in the United States and Canada) volumes.

“We had a strong quarter that took full advantage of healthy industry volumes and the market’s enthusiasm for our new products,” said Troy A. Clarke, Navistar chairman, president and chief executive officer.

Navistar ended third quarter 2018 with $1.12 billion in consolidated cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. Manufacturing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $1.08 billion at the end of the quarter.

The company had a number of product highlights during its third quarter. Year-over-year growth in Class 8 heavy retail market share, up 2.7 points, was attributable to strong sales of the LT Series on-highway truck and the 12.4-liter A26 engine. International A26 engine market share penetration more than doubled from the year ago quarter, and the engine is now also available in the company’s severe service vehicles, the HV Series and HX Series. Additionally, the new MV Series contributed to 66 percent growth in medium-duty orders.

In the school bus segment, the company was the first in the industry to make electronic stability control and collision mitigation technology standard on its IC Bus® CE Series and RE Series school buses. With these new standard systems in place, IC Bus has the most robust collision mitigation offering in the industry.

Additionally, the company announced that all new on-highway International® trucks will be equipped with an OnCommand® Connection telematics device with two free years of service included. The OnCommand Connection device integrates a cellular-enabled hardware platform with a range of technology solutions, including telematics and the OnCommand Connection Advanced Remote Diagnostics platform.

2018 INDUSTRY AND FINANCIAL GUIDANCE

Based on stronger industry conditions, the company raised its 2018 full-year guidance:

  • Industry retail deliveries of Class 6-8 trucks and buses in the United States and Canada are forecast to be 390,000 to 410,000 units, with Class 8 retail deliveries of 260,000 to 280,000 units.
  • Navistar revenues are expected to be between $10.1 billion and $10.4 billion.
  • The company’s adjusted EBITDA is expected to be between $775 million and $825 million.
  • Year-end manufacturing cash is expected to be above $1.25 billion.

Additionally, the company forecasts the industry’s 2019 retail deliveries of Class 6-8 trucks and buses in the United States and Canada to be in the range of 385,000 to 415,000 units, with Class 8 retail deliveries between 255,000 and 285,000 units.

“Our team has delivered substantial accomplishments this year, including growing Class 8 share, building our backlog and effectively managing costs,” Clarke said. “Our progress positions us well for a very strong fourth quarter and another good year in 2019.”

_______________

(A)

Amounts attributable to Navistar International Corporation.

Truck Segment — Truck segment net sales increased 25 percent to $1.9 billion compared to third quarter 2017, due to higher volumes in Core markets, an increase in military sales and a favorable shift in model mix.

For the third quarter 2018, the Truck segment recorded a profit of $165 million compared to $7 million for the same period one year ago. The improvement was primarily driven by the impact of higher volumes in Core markets and lower charges related to legacy engine litigation recorded in the third quarter of 2017. The segment also benefited from a settlement of a business economic claim. The segment was negatively impacted by industry supplier constraints that resulted in higher company inventory, lower volumes, cost inefficiencies in the assembly process and additional freight costs.

Parts Segment — Parts segment net sales increased $19 million, to $605 million, compared to third quarter 2017, due to continued double-digit growth of the Fleetrite™ brand, partially offset by lower Blue Diamond Parts (BDP) sales.

For the third quarter 2018, the Parts segment recorded a profit of $144 million, down eight percent compared to third quarter 2017, primarily due to lower proprietary parts sales, higher freight-related expenses and intercompany access fees.

Global Operations Segment — Global Operations net sales increased six percent, to $89 million, compared to third quarter 2017, due primarily to higher engine volumes.

For the third quarter 2018, the Global Operations segment profit was $4 million, comparable to the same period one year ago.

Financial Services Segment — Financial Services net revenues increased by $3 million to $65 million compared to third quarter 2017, primarily due to higher average portfolio balances in the U.S. and Mexico.

For the third quarter 2018, the Financial Services segment recorded a profit of $23 million, comparable to third quarter 2017.  During the quarter, Navistar Financial Corporation issued a $400 million seven-year senior secured Term Loan B.

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 historic 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)

In the third quarter and first nine months of 2018, we recorded $8 million and $11 million, respectively, of impairment charges related to the sale of our railcar business in Cherokee, Alabama, certain long-lived assets and certain assets under operating leases in our Truck and Financial Services segments. In the third quarter and first nine months of 2017, we recorded $6 million and $13 million, respectively, of asset impairment charges relating to assets held for the sale of our Conway, Arkansas fabrication business and for certain assets under operating leases in our Truck segment.

(C)

In the third quarter and first nine months of 2018, we recorded a charge of $1 million and a benefit of $1 million, respectively, related to adjustments for restructuring in our Truck, Global Operations and Corporate segments. In the third quarter and first nine months of 2017, we recorded a benefit of $3 million and a charge of $6 million for restructuring in our Truck segment. In the third quarter of 2017, 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. The first nine months of 2017 were also impacted by $7 million of restructuring charges related to the closure of the Chatham, Ontario plant and $2 million of restructuring charges in our Truck and Corporate segments.

(D)

In the first nine months of 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.

In the first quarter of 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.
