Insights

Financial Analyst

The reported increase in quarterly sales to $2.47 billion, which is up by 12%, signifies a robust growth trajectory for Oshkosh Corporation. This growth is underpinned by acquisitions contributing $192 million in sales, which showcases an effective expansion strategy through M&A activities. Additionally, the improvement in pricing reflects the company's ability to pass on higher input costs to customers, a critical aspect in maintaining margins amidst inflationary pressures.

The backlog of $16.8 billion is particularly noteworthy as it provides significant visibility into future revenues, which can be reassuring for investors concerned about the sustainability of the company's growth. However, it's essential to monitor how effectively Oshkosh can convert this backlog into revenue, considering potential challenges such as supply chain disruptions or changes in demand.

The announced dividend increase of 12% to $0.46 per share is a strong signal of confidence in the company's financial health and its commitment to shareholder returns. This marks the 10th consecutive year of double-digit dividend growth, reinforcing the company's reputation for providing consistent shareholder value.

Market Research Analyst

Oshkosh's performance in the Defense segment with a 205.5% increase in operating income is particularly impressive and is attributed to favorable cumulative catch-up adjustments on contract margins. This suggests that Oshkosh is not only securing contracts but also managing them efficiently to maximize profitability. The focus on international markets for JLTV orders as domestic production winds down indicates a strategic shift to maintain revenue streams in the defense sector.

The Access segment also saw a significant increase in operating income by 39.8%, driven by improved customer mix and higher sales volume. This indicates strong demand in this segment, which could be a result of increased construction and infrastructure activities. However, increased operating expenses to support higher sales levels could indicate that the company is investing in scaling operations to meet demand, which will need to be watched for efficiency gains.

The introduction of the Striker Volterra electric ARFF orders points to Oshkosh's commitment to innovation and environmental sustainability, tapping into the growing market for green technologies. This could open up new revenue streams and provide a competitive edge as industries worldwide increasingly prioritize carbon footprint reduction.

Economist

The improved price/cost dynamics mentioned in the report suggest that Oshkosh Corporation has successfully navigated the inflationary environment, which is a significant achievement given the macroeconomic headwinds faced by many industries. The ability to manage costs while increasing prices without affecting demand is indicative of strong market positioning and product value proposition.

Looking at the broader economic implications, Oshkosh's increased net income and adjusted earnings per share reflect not only the company's operational efficiency but also the health of the sectors it serves. The Access and Vocational segments cater to construction and infrastructure, which have been experiencing growth, indicating a healthy investment environment in these areas.

The expectation for 2024 with an adjusted earnings per share estimate in the range of $10.25 on projected net sales of approximately $10.4 billion suggests that Oshkosh anticipates continued growth. This forward-looking statement, however, should be considered with caution as it is subject to various external factors such as economic conditions, competitive pressures and geopolitical events that could impact the company's performance.

OSHKOSH, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Oshkosh Corporation (NYSE: OSK), a leading innovator of purpose-built vehicles and equipment, today reported 2023 fourth quarter net income of $150.8 million, or $2.28 per diluted share, compared to net income of $75.1 million, or $1.14 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2022. Adjusted¹ net income was $169.4 million, or $2.56 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to $107.4 million, or $1.63 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2022. Comparisons in this news release are to the fourth quarter of 2022, unless otherwise noted.

Consolidated sales in the fourth quarter of 2023 increased 11.9 percent to $2.47 billion primarily due to the inclusion of sales related to acquisitions of $192 million and improved pricing.

Consolidated operating income in the fourth quarter of 2023 increased 46.5 percent to $215.4 million, or 8.7 percent of sales, compared to $147.0 million, or 6.7 percent of sales, in the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily due to improved price/cost dynamics, favorable mix and favorable cumulative catch-up adjustments in the Defense segment, offset in part by higher incentive compensation costs and higher operating costs. Adjusted¹ operating income in the fourth quarter of 2023 was $239.9 million, or 9.7 percent of sales, compared to $155.6 million, or 7.1 percent of sales, in the fourth quarter of 2022.

“Oshkosh Corporation delivered a strong fourth quarter to cap off a very successful year for our company, highlighted by full year 2023 revenues of $9.7 billion and adjusted earnings per share of $9.98. We have been putting the building blocks in place to deliver sustainable growth in the future,” said John Pfeifer, president and chief executive officer of Oshkosh Corporation. “Our fourth quarter was highlighted by strong revenue and earnings growth leading to adjusted earnings per share of $2.56. We experienced solid order levels across our business, and particularly in our Access segment, leading to a record backlog of $16.8 billion, which provides us with considerable visibility into the future. I want to thank our 17,000 team members for their hard work and dedication to our shared success.

“During the quarter, we booked several important JLTV orders for both domestic and international militaries, contributing to improved results. While we expect to be wrapping up domestic JLTV production in early 2025, we continue to see opportunities in international markets, and we look forward to starting production of the revolutionary USPS Next Generation Delivery Vehicle in April.

“We continue to invest in new technologies and capacity to drive further growth. During the quarter, we booked notable Striker Volterra electric ARFF orders with the Japan Ministry of Defense and Paris’ Le Bourget airport, building on the success of previously announced orders from other airports throughout the world. We are confident that we will see increased demand for our revolutionary new battery-powered units that responsibly support lower carbon emissions.

“As a result of our strong performance in 2023, solid demand, record backlog, improved supply chains and positive outlook, we are pleased to announce 2024 expectations for adjusted earnings per share to be in the range of $10.25. We are also announcing a quarterly cash dividend of $0.46 per share, representing a 12.2 percent increase, which marks the 10th consecutive year in which we have increased our dividend by double digits,” said Pfeifer.

Factors affecting fourth quarter results for the Company’s business segments included:

Access - Access segment sales for the fourth quarter of 2023 increased 7.1 percent to $1.15 billion as a result of improved sales volume, higher pricing in response to higher input costs and the inclusion of sales of $15.9 million related to the Hinowa acquisition.

Access segment operating income in the fourth quarter of 2023 increased 39.8 percent to $162.2 million, or 14.1 percent of sales, compared to $116.0 million, or 10.8 percent of sales, in the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily due to improved price/cost dynamics, improved customer mix and higher sales volume, offset in part by increased operating expenses to support higher sales levels and higher incentive compensation costs.

Adjusted¹ operating income in the fourth quarter of 2023 was $165.6 million, or 14.4 percent of sales, compared to $116.1 million, or 10.8 percent of sales, in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Defense - Defense segment sales for the fourth quarter of 2023 increased 7.2 percent to $586.9 million primarily due to cumulative catch-up adjustments on contract awards.

Defense segment operating income in the fourth quarter of 2023 increased 205.5 percent to $60.8 million, or 10.4 percent of sales, compared to $19.9 million, or 3.6 percent of sales, in the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase was the result of favorable cumulative catch-up adjustments on contract margins of $24.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 due to contract awards compared to unfavorable adjustments of $10.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, lower engineering costs and the impairment of an intangible asset in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, offset in part by higher incentive compensation costs.

Adjusted¹ operating income in the fourth quarter of 2023 was $62.1 million, or 10.6 percent of sales, compared to $27.0 million, or 4.9 percent of sales, in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Vocational - Vocational segment sales for the fourth quarter of 2023 increased 26.1 percent to $735.3 million due to the inclusion of sales related to the AeroTech acquisition and higher pricing in response to increased input costs, offset in part by lower sales volume and the sale of the rear discharge mixer business. AeroTech had sales of $176.5 million during the fourth quarter of 2023.

Vocational segment operating income in the fourth quarter of 2023 increased 7.0 percent to $44.4 million, or 6.0 percent of sales, compared to $41.5 million, or 7.1 percent of sales, in the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily due to improved price/cost dynamics, offset in part by lower sales volume and higher incentive compensation costs.

Adjusted¹ operating income in the fourth quarter of 2023 was $64.2 million, or 8.7 percent of sales, compared to $42.9 million, or 7.4 percent of sales, in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Corporate - Corporate costs in the fourth quarter of 2023 increased $21.6 million to $52.0 million due to higher incentive compensation costs and higher new product development costs.

Interest Expense Net of Interest Income - Interest expense net of interest income in the fourth quarter of 2023 increased $11.3 million to $20.8 million due to increased borrowings on the Company's revolving credit facility related to the acquisition of AeroTech. The Company made net repayments of $330 million on the revolving credit facility during the fourth quarter of 2023, reducing the outstanding balance to $175 million as of December 31, 2023.

Miscellaneous, net - Miscellaneous income, net in the fourth quarter of 2023 was $0.6 million compared to miscellaneous expense, net of $32.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. Miscellaneous expense, net for the fourth quarter of 2022 primarily related to a $33.6 million settlement of a frozen defined benefit pension plan.

Provision for Income Taxes - The Company recorded income tax expense in the fourth quarter of 2023 of $44.2 million, or 22.6 percent of pre-tax income, compared to $29.1 million, or 27.6 percent of pre-tax income, in the fourth quarter of 2022. Income taxes in the fourth quarter of 2022 were elevated due to an anti-hybrid tax matter in a foreign jurisdiction.

Full-Year Results

The Company reported net sales for 2023 of $9.66 billion and net income of $598.0 million, or $9.08 per diluted share. This compares with net sales of $8.28 billion and net income of $173.9 million, or $2.63 per diluted share, in the prior year. The increase in net income for 2023 was the result of improved price/cost dynamics, higher sales volume, improved mix, favorable cumulative catch-up adjustments in the Defense segment on contracts in 2023 compared to unfavorable adjustments in 2022, the absence of a charge of $31.3 million associated with foreign anti-hybrid tax legislation due to comments made by taxing authorities of the applicable jurisdiction during the first quarter of 2022 and the absence of an after-tax charge of $25.7 million for a settlement of a frozen pension plan, offset in part by higher incentive compensation costs and increased operating expenses to support the higher sales levels.

Adjusted¹ net income for 2023 was $657.2 million, or $9.98 per diluted share, compared to $237.6 million, or $3.59 per diluted share, in 2022.

Fiscal 2024 Expectations

The Company announced its 2024 diluted earnings per share estimate to be in the range of $9.45 and its adjusted¹ earnings per share estimate to be in the range of $10.25 on projected net sales of approximately $10.4 billion.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP). The Company is presenting various operating results both on a GAAP basis and on a basis excluding items that affect comparability of results. When the Company excludes certain items as described below, they are considered non-GAAP financial measures. The Company believes excluding the impact of these items is useful to investors in comparing the Company’s performance to prior period results. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company’s results prepared in accordance with GAAP. The table below presents a reconciliation of the Company’s presented non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures (in millions, except per share amounts):
