LISLE, Ill., Dec. 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Navistar International Corporation (NYSE: NAV) today announced a fourth quarter 2020 net loss of $236 million, or $2.36 per diluted share, compared to fourth quarter 2019 net income of $102 million, or $1.02 per diluted share. Navistar reported a net loss of $347 million, or $3.48 per diluted share for fiscal year 2020, versus net income of $221 million, or $2.22 per diluted share, for fiscal year 2019.

Revenues in the quarter were $2.1 billion versus $2.8 billion a year ago. Fourth quarter 2020 Core (Class 6-8 trucks and buses in the United States and Canada) charge outs were 13,200 versus 20,200 in fourth quarter 2019. Revenue for fiscal year 2020 was $7.5 billion versus $11.25 billion in 2019. Fiscal 2020 Core charge outs were 50,400 versus 87,200 in fiscal 2019. The decrease in revenue and charge outs was primarily driven by the impact of COVID-19 on the trucking industry.

Fourth quarter 2020 results were impacted by $297 million of tax-affected significant items. Included in this amount is a $289 million accrual related to a profit sharing dispute, a $58 million settlement with the Department of Justice related to Navistar Defense and a $14 million charge related to pre-existing warranties.

Adjusted net income for the fourth quarter was $61 million versus $114 million in the fourth quarter of last year. Adjusted net income for fiscal year 2020 was $10 million versus $423 million in 2019.

Fourth quarter 2020 adjusted EBITDA was $169 million versus $219 million one year ago. Fiscal year 2020 adjusted EBITDA was $420 million versus $882 million in 2019.

Navistar finished fourth quarter 2020 with $1.8 billion in consolidated cash and cash equivalents.

"While our results were affected by the pandemic and the impact of certain legal matters, we have experienced consistent sequential improvement in our business since April, which reflects broader improvement in the economy and trucking industry as well as our business performance from the implementation of our Navistar 4.0 strategy," said Persio Lisboa, chief executive officer. "I believe that the actions and investments we have made in the business during 2020 position us to emerge from the pandemic a much stronger company."

The company continued to make progress on Navistar 4.0, its multi-year strategic plan. Navistar 4.0 is focused on achieving sustained success through putting the customer at the core of the company's decision-making process, while increasing the company's EBITDA margins by four percentage points by 2025. The company launched a new version of its International HX Series severe service truck, the first new product developed under Project Compass. Navistar also continued to make progress on emerging technologies, announcing that it will deliver a full electrification solution, including charging, route planning and infrastructure, to a school bus customer in British Columbia. The company also conducted a successful West Coast tour of its electric school bus.

In connectivity, Navistar launched Intelligent Fleet Care, the industry's most comprehensive standard suite of connected vehicle solutions, which is standard for Navistar's new on-highway vehicles. In addition to its Gateway Integrations partnerships now in place with seven leading telematics providers that enable customers to avoid hardware installation costs by using Navistar's own factory-installed device, Intelligent Fleet Care adds additional solutions driven by vehicle performance and telematics data.

Navistar continues to make progress on capital investments that will help transform the company's manufacturing and supply footprint, including the Huntsville, Ala., plant, where the company will produce its next generation of big-bore powertrains, and its new manufacturing facility in San Antonio, Texas.

The most significant announcement during the fourth quarter was Navistar's planned merger with TRATON SE. The merger will accelerate Navistar's growth, providing it with access to new technologies, products and services while taking advantage of TRATON's global scale.

"Despite the challenges of 2020, the company pressed ahead with new steps that position Navistar well for the future, including sustained investments in our business and products and important strategic partnerships in emerging technologies," said Lisboa. "Looking forward, our exciting opportunity with TRATON will build further on this foundation, accelerating our progress and delivering long-term, sustainable benefits for our stakeholders."

(A)	Amounts attributable to Navistar International Corporation.

 

Truck Segment – In fourth quarter 2020, the Truck segment net sales were $1.5 billion, a 30 percent decrease compared to fourth quarter last year. In fiscal year 2020, the Truck segment net sales decreased by $3.3 billion, or 38 percent, to $5.3 billion. The decrease was primarily due to lower volumes in Core markets due to the pandemic.

The Truck segment incurred a net loss of $10 million in fourth quarter 2020, compared to a profit of $86 million in fourth quarter 2019. For fiscal year 2020, the Truck segment incurred a net loss of $141 million, compared to profit of $269 million in full-year 2019. The decrease was a result of lower revenues and reflects the impact of legal settlements and the sale of Navistar Defense in 2019.

Parts Segment – For fourth quarter 2020, the Parts segment net sales were $496 million, a nine percent decrease from fourth quarter 2019. In fiscal year 2020, the Parts segment net sales decreased by $399 million, or 18 percent, to $1.85 billion. The decrease was primarily due to lower volumes in the U.S. and Canada due to the pandemic.

The Parts segments saw a fourth quarter profit of $129 million, compared to $161 million in fourth quarter 2019. In fiscal year 2020, the Parts segment profit decreased by $150 million, or 25 percent, to $448 million. The decrease was due to the impact of lower revenues.

Global Operations Segment – In fourth quarter 2020, the Global Operations segment net sales decreased six percent versus fourth quarter 2019 to $87 million. In fiscal year 2020, the Global Operations segment net sales decreased by $90 million, or 26 percent, to $253 million. The decrease was primarily driven by lower volumes in South American operations triggered by temporary production stoppages related to the pandemic as well as unfavorable foreign currency impact.

The Global Operation segment recorded a profit of $12 million in the fourth quarter of 2020 versus a loss of $10 million in fourth quarter 2019 that included a restructuring charge. In fiscal year 2020, the Global Operations segment recorded breakeven results comparable to 2019.

Financial Services Segment – In fourth quarter 2020, the Financial Services segment net revenues decreased to $47 million, a 34 percent decrease from fourth quarter 2019. In fiscal year 2020, Financial Services segment net revenues were $217 million, a 27 percent decrease versus 2019. Revenues were lower in 2020 due to lower average yields from lower interest rates and lower average finance receivables on lower volumes.

The Financial Services segment recorded a profit of $14 million in the quarter, compared to $30 million in fourth quarter 2019. The Financial Services segment recorded a profit of $65 million in fiscal year 2020, a 47 percent decrease from 2019. The decrease was due to lower revenues, partially offset by lower interest expense resulting from lower borrowing requirements and rates.

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 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 and Adjusted Net Income (loss):
We believe that adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income (loss), 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 and Cash Equivalents:
Manufacturing cash and cash equivalents represent the Company's consolidated cash and cash equivalents excluding cash and cash equivalents of our financial services operations. 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 2020, we recorded $28 million of asset impairment charges, comprised of $16 million of asset impairment charges related to certain assets under operating leases and certain other long-lived assets in our Truck segment and $12 million of asset impairment charges related to long-lived assets in our Brazil asset group in our Global Operations segment. During 2019, we recorded $7 million of asset impairment charges relating to certain assets under operating leases in our Truck segment. 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.
(C)	During 2020, we recorded net restructuring charges of $2 million due to restructuring activity throughout the organization. During 2019, we recorded charges of $14 million primarily related to cost reduction actions recorded in Costs of product sold and Restructuring charges in our Global Operations segment. During 2018, we recognized a benefit of $1 million related to adjustments for restructuring charges in our Truck, Global Operations and Corporate segments.
(D)	During 2019, we recognized a net charge of $129 million related to the MaxxForce Advanced EGR engine class action settlement and related litigation in our Truck segment. During 2018, we recognized a charge of $1 million for a jury verdict related to the MaxxForce Advanced EGR engine lawsuits in our Truck segment.
(E)	During 2020, we recorded a charge of $58 million, including $8 million of legal and other fees, related to a proposed legal settlement with the Department of Justice, related to Navistar Defense.
(F)	During 2020, we recorded a charge of $289 million related to the Shy profit-sharing accrual.
(G)	During 2019, we recognized a gain of $51 million related to the sale of a majority interest in the Navistar Defense business in our Truck segment, and a gain of $5 million related to the sale of our joint venture in China with JAC in our Global Operations segment.
(H)	During 2020 we recorded a charge of $5 million for the write-off of debt issuance costs and discounts associated with the 6.75% Tax Exempt Bonds. During 2019, we recorded a charge of $6 million for the write-off of debt issuance costs and discounts associated with the NFC Term Loan. 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.
(I)	During 2020, 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 charges of $7 million, $142 million and $9 million, respectively, in Other expense, net in Corporate.
(J)	During 2020 and 2019, we recorded interest income of $1 million and $3 million, respectively, in Other expense, net derived from the prior year settlement of a business economic loss claim. During 2018, we settled a business economic loss claim relating to our Alabama engine manufacturing facility from the Deepwater Horizon Settlement Program. As a result, we recorded the net present value of the settlement of $70 million and related interest income of $2 million in Other expense, net.
(K)	Tax effect is calculated by excluding the tax impact of the non-GAAP adjustments from the tax provision calculations.
