LISLE, Ill., March 8, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Navistar International Corporation (NYSE: NAV) today announced first quarter 2019 net income of $11 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, compared to a first quarter 2018 net loss of $73 million, or $0.74 per diluted share.

Revenues in the quarter were $2.4 billion, a 28 percent increase compared to $1.9 billion in the first quarter last year. The revenue increase was driven by a 50 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.

First quarter 2019 EBITDA was $96 million, compared to first quarter 2018 EBITDA of $55 million. Adjusted EBITDA was $173 million versus $104 million in first quarter 2018. Results were impacted by certain one-time items, including a non-cash charge related to a Canadian pension annuity transaction of $142 million (or $104 million after-tax), and aggregate gains of $59 million from the sales of 70 percent of the Navistar Defense business and the company's ownership interest in the JND joint venture.

Navistar finished the first quarter 2019 with $1.24 billion in consolidated cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and $1.19 billion in manufacturing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities.

"We had our best first quarter since 2010 as customer acceptance of our new products translated to extended gains in our Core market share," said Troy A. Clarke, Chairman, President and CEO. "In addition to our ongoing growth in Class 8, our medium-duty market share grew by six points during the quarter, the largest year-over-year medium share gain in the industry."

The company's first quarter featured a number of positive marketplace developments. Continuing its cadence of new product launches, Navistar unveiled its new International® CV Series line of Class 4/5 vehicles, the only Class 4/5 truck that is designed, distributed and supported by a manufacturer specializing in commercial vehicles. Year-over-year growth in the company's Core market share was up 1.8 points, led by a six-point share increase in Class 6/7, which was attributable to strong sales of the MV® Series of medium-duty trucks. Additionally, the company's International® HX Series and International® HV Series vehicles built improved vocational order share resulting in a strong backlog. The company reported backlog growth of more than 8,000 units in its Core markets, up 18 percent since the end of fourth quarter 2018.

Also in the quarter, the company completed group annuity transactions with two Canadian insurers that transferred $268 million in pension obligations of defined benefit pension plans in Canada, reducing the company's non-operating financial risk and administrative costs.

Announced just yesterday, Navistar entered a service partnership agreement with Love's Travel Stops, which adds more than 315 Love's Truck Tire Care and Speedco locations to the International® service network, creating the commercial transportation industry's largest service network and bringing the total International® service network to more than 1,000 locations in North America. Building on the company's commitment to Uptime leadership, this partnership will expand customers' access to same-day service for a wide array of light mechanical repairs, and will also provide customers with increased repair velocity, so more customers can get their trucks repaired the same day.

The company reiterated its 2019 industry guidance and raised the following financial guidance:

  • 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.

"As our ongoing improvements demonstrate, the company has strong opportunities to benefit from capturing additional market share, growing parts revenue, improving margins and further de-risking the balance sheet," Clarke said. "Given the progress made in the first quarter, and our positive outlook for the remainder of the year, we are confident that 2019 will move Navistar forward on the path to generate superior shareholder returns compared to the industry."

Amounts attributable to Navistar International Corporation.

Truck Segment – Truck segment first quarter 2019 net sales increased 44 percent to $1.8 billion, primarily due to higher volumes in the company's Core markets and an increase in Mexico truck volumes. This was partially offset by lower defense sales due to the sale of a majority interest in Navistar Defense during the quarter.

The Truck segment profit was $90 million in the first quarter 2019, versus a loss of $7 million in the same period one year ago. The improvement was primarily driven by the result of higher volumes in the company's Core markets, partially offset by higher material and freight costs and the impact of the sale of a majority interest in Navistar Defense.

Parts Segment – In the first quarter of 2019, the Parts segment net sales decreased four percent to $548 million, primarily due to the adoption of a new revenue recognition standard and to lower Blue Diamond Parts (BDP) sales, partially offset by higher sales in our North American markets. On a comparable basis, revenues grew one percent year-over-year.

The Parts segment profit was $144 million, up five percent, primarily due to higher U.S. margins and lower intercompany access fees, partially offset by lower BDP volumes and higher freight-related expenses. 

Global Operations Segment – In the first quarter of 2019, the Global Operations segment net sales decreased slightly to $73 million, primarily driven by the depreciation of the Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar, as the average conversion rate has weakened by 14 percent compared with the prior year period. This was partially offset by higher volumes in our South America operations.

For the first quarter 2019, the Global Operations segment profit was $6 million versus a $7 million loss in the first quarter 2018. The increase is primarily driven by higher volumes, higher other income of $5 million related to the sale of the its ownership interest in a joint venture in China and the impact of prior year cost-reduction actions.

Financial Services Segment – In the first quarter of 2019, the Financial Services segment net revenues increased to $74 million, primarily due to higher interest rates and greater average portfolio balances in the U.S. and Mexico.

The Financial Services segment profit increased 55 percent to $31 million, primarily due to higher interest margin from improved funding strategies and income from an intercompany loan. The increase was partially offset by increased depreciation expense on operating leases.

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 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 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 first quarter of 2019, we recorded $2 million of asset impairment charges relating to certain assets under operating leases.  In the first quarter of 2018, we recorded $2 million of impairment charges related to the sale of our railcar business in Cherokee, Alabama.

(C)

In the first quarter of 2018, we recorded benefits of $3 million for restructuring in our Truck and Global segments.

(D)

In the first quarter 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.

(E)

In the first quarter of 2019, we recognized a gain of $54 million related to the sale of a majority interest in the Navistar Defense business in our Truck segment. In the first quarter of 2019, we also recognized a gain of $5 million related to the sale of our joint venture in China with Anhui Jianghuai Automobile Co. in our Global Operations segment.

(F)

In the first quarter of 2018, we recorded a charge of $46 million for the write off of debt issuance costs and discounts associated with the repurchase of our previously existing 8.25% Senior Notes and the refinancing of our previously existing Term Loan.

(G)

In the first quarter of 2019 and 2018, we purchased group annuity contracts for certain retired pension plan participants resulting in plan remeasurements. As a result, we recorded pension settlement accounting charges of $142 million and $9 million, respectively, in Other expense, net.

(H)

In the first quarter of 2019, we recorded interest income of $1 million in Other expense, net derived from the prior year settlement of a business economic loss claim relating to our former Alabama engine manufacturing facility.
