LISLE, Ill., Sept. 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Navistar International Corporation (NYSE: NAV) today announced a third quarter 2015 net loss of $28 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, compared to a third quarter 2014 net loss of $2 million, or $0.02 per diluted share.

Third quarter 2015 EBITDA was $106 million versus EBITDA of $142 million in the same period one year ago. The third quarter 2015 included certain net charges of $23 million, compared to benefits of $9 million in the third quarter of 2014. Excluding these items, adjusted EBITDA was $129 million in the third quarter 2015 compared to $133 million in the same period one year ago.

Revenues in the quarter were $2.5 billion. An increase in the company's truck, bus and parts sales in the U.S. and Canada was more than offset by lower export truck and parts sales, revenue declines in its global operations and exit from the Blue Diamond Truck joint venture. Retail deliveries and chargeouts in the company's core markets (Class 6-8 trucks and buses in the United States and Canada) were up 15 percent and 5 percent, respectively, year-over-year. Dealer-led sales are up 27 percent year-to-date through June.

"We are encouraged that overall, our core truck business continues to improve year-over-year, driven by steady and improving performance in medium, school bus and severe service, where we are on track to achieve our full-year market share goals," said Troy A. Clarke, Navistar president and chief executive officer. "We're not standing still and we continue to take actions to improve both the revenue and cost sides of the business. We expect to achieve our 8 percent EBITDA margin run rate exiting 2015 thanks to the extraordinary, ongoing success we've had in addressing costs across our enterprise."

The company finished the quarter with $775 million in manufacturing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. Additionally, the company refinanced its existing term loan, improving its liquidity by $313 million and extending the maturity of the term loan until 2020.

During the quarter, Navistar continued its open technology integration strategy with its first-to-market announcement of the Eaton Procision™ dual-clutch transmission for International® DuraStar® medium-duty trucks and IC Bus™ CE Series school buses.

The company advanced its connected vehicle  leadership with this week's announcement that International is the first truck maker to introduce over-the-air technology, which will reprogram the engine control modules of International trucks powered by its N9, N10 and N13 proprietary engines. Navistar announced a number of other connectivity firsts during the quarter aimed at driving uptime improvements and operational efficiencies for customers, including the industry's first telematics credit and the inclusion of its OnCommand™ Connection remote diagnostics system as a standard offering on all new International trucks and IC Bus brand school buses.

"We feel good about our position entering the 2016 buying season, especially with larger fleets," Clarke added. "Jeff Sass, our new head of sales, has brought an even greater sense of urgency and focused action in the first three months he has been on board. As a result, we're entering the buying season in conversations with all    top-100 fleets—and we feel encouraged by the response we're getting."

In the quarter, the company announced a multi-year 9,000 truck order from Quality Companies—a subsidiary of Celadon. Quality Companies emphasized that the quality and fuel efficiency of new International ProStar models provide the lowest total-cost-of-ownership of any truck in its fleet.

The company also announced that it is pulling forward the next phase of its planned cost realignment and improvement actions in the areas of structural costs, materials costs and manufacturing costs.

"The cost efforts underway will enable us to become to be even more competitive in the marketplace," Clarke added. "These actions will allow us to invest in key areas of the business, paving the way for Navistar to be profitable and cash flow positive in 2016 and better positioned as the truck market comes off its peak."

The company provided the following guidance for the fourth quarter:

  • Q4-2015 EBITDA of $175 million – $225 million, excluding pre-existing warranty and one-time items.
  • Q4-2015 manufacturing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities between$950 million to $1.05 billion.

Truck Segment — For the third quarter 2015, the Truck segment recorded a loss of $36 million, compared with a year-ago third quarter loss of $3 million. The Truck segment's loss increased, primarily driven by a benefit for adjustments to pre-existing warranties in the third quarter of 2014 and an increase in our used truck reserves of $10 million. In the third quarter of 2015, the Truck segment recorded charges for adjustments to pre-existing warranties of $3 million compared to a benefit for adjustments to pre-existing warranties of $32 million in the third quarter of 2014.

Parts Segment — For the third quarter 2015, the Parts segment recorded a profit of $151 million, up 10 percent compared to third quarter 2014, primarily due to margin improvements in our commercial markets and the impact of cost improvement initiatives.

Global Operations Segment — For the third quarter 2015, the Global Operations segment recorded a loss of $26 million compared to a year-ago third quarter loss of $21 million. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to the economic downturn in Brazil with South American engine shipments down 42 percent year-over-year, restructuring charges, and related reductions-in-force; unfavorable movements in foreign currency exchange rates and $3 million in impairment charges.

Financial Services Segment — For the third quarter 2015, the Financial Services segment recorded a profit of $26 million compared to third quarter 2014 profit of $24 million, reflecting an increase in revenue and a decrease in the provision for loan losses which 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.  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.

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.

In the third quarter of 2015, we incurred restructuring charges of $13 million related to cost reduction actions, including a reduction-in-force in the U.S. and Brazil. In the third quarter of 2014, the Company recognized charges of $14 million related to the 2011 closure of its Chatham, Ontario plant, based on a ruling received from the Financial Services Tribunal in Ontario, Canada.

In the third quarter of 2015, as a result of the economic downturn in Brazil causing declines in actual and forecasted results, we tested the indefinite-lived intangible asset of our Brazilian engine reporting unit for potential impairment. As a result, we determined that $3 million of trademark asset carrying value was impaired. In addition, during the third quarter of 2015, the Company concluded it had a triggering event related to certain long-lived assets in the Truck segment.  As a result, certain long-lived assets were determined to be impaired, resulting in a charge of $3 million.
