We expect production volumes in North America to continue to remain at levels
experienced since the second half of fiscal year 2011 (which were higher than
they were during the first half of fiscal year 2011) and production volumes in
Europe to continue to be at lower levels than those in fiscal year 2011.
Beginning in second quarter of fiscal year 2012, production volumes in South
America declined significantly as the industry transitioned to tighter emission
standard requirements for commercial vehicles. The recovery of production
volumes has been slower than previously expected, and we do not expect
production volumes in South America to return to 2011 levels during fiscal year
2012. Production volumes in the Asia-Pacific region, more specifically China and
India, have decreased compared to levels experienced in fiscal year 2011, and
there is no certainty as to when these volumes will return to the levels
previously experienced.
Sales for our primary military program were at their peak during the third
quarter of fiscal year 2012. This program is expected to wind down over the next
few years. We are working to secure our participation in new military programs
with various OEMs. However, failure to secure new military contracts could have
a longer-term negative impact on our Industrial Segment. In addition, even if
sales of our military programs do return to historic levels, the levels of
profitability on these sales could be lower than what we have recognized in
recent periods.
Industry-Wide Issues
Our business continues to address a number of other challenging industry-wide
issues including the following:
• Continued strong demand for commercial truck production in North America
and impact on the ability to support customer demand;
• Uncertainty around the market outlook in South America, Europe, China and India;
• Volatility in price and availability of steel, components and other commodities;
• Disruptions in the financial markets and their impact on the availability and cost of credit;
• Higher energy and transportation costs;
• Consolidation and globalization of OEMs and their suppliers; and
• Significant pension and retiree medical health care costs.
Other
Other significant factors that could affect our results and liquidity in fiscal
year 2012 include:
• Ability to manage possible adverse effects on our European operations, or
financing arrangements related thereto, in the event one or more countries
exit the European monetary union;
• Ability to work with our commercial truck customers to manage rapidly changing production volumes;
• Ability to recover and timing of recovery of steel price and other cost increases from our customers;
• Any unplanned extended shutdowns or production interruptions by us, our customers or our suppliers;
• A significant deterioration or slowdown in economic activity in the key markets in which we operate;
• Higher than planned price reductions to our customers;
• Potential price increases from our suppliers;
• Additional restructuring actions and the timing and recognition of restructuring charges;
• Higher than planned warranty expenses, including the outcome of known or potential recall campaigns;
• Our ability to implement planned productivity, cost reduction, and other margin improvement initiatives;
• Significant contract awards or losses of existing contracts or failure to negotiate acceptable terms in contract renewal negotiations;
• Impact of currency exchange rate volatility in the markets in which we operate;
• Restrictive government actions by foreign countries (such as restrictions on transfer of funds and trade protection measures, including export duties and quotas and customs duties and tariffs).
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
In addition to the results reported in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States (GAAP), we have provided information
regarding non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures include
Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations and Adjusted diluted earnings
(loss) per share from continuing operations, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA
margin, Free cash flow and Free cash flow from continuing operations before
restructuring payments.
Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations and Adjusted diluted earnings
(loss) per share from continuing operations are defined as reported income or
loss from continuing operations and reported diluted earnings or loss per share
from continuing operations before restructuring expenses, asset impairment
charges and other special items as determined by management. Adjusted EBITDA is
defined as income (loss) from continuing operations before interest, income
taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-controlling interests in consolidated
joint ventures, loss on sale of receivables, restructuring expenses, asset
impairment charges and other special items as determined by management. Adjusted
EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by consolidated sales. Free
cash flow is defined as cash flows provided by (used for) operating activities
less capital expenditures.
Management believes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted income (loss) from
continuing operations are meaningful measures of performance as they are
commonly utilized by management and investors to analyze ongoing operating
performance and entity valuation. Management, the investment community and
banking institutions routinely use Adjusted EBITDA, together with other
measures, to measure operating performance in our industry. Further, management
uses Adjusted EBITDA for planning and forecasting future periods. In addition,
we use Segment EBITDA as the primary basis to evaluate the performance of each
of our reportable segments. Management believes that Free cash flow is useful in
analyzing our ability to service and repay debt.
Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations and Adjusted diluted
earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA should
not be considered a substitute for the reported results prepared in accordance
with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an
indicator of our operating performance or to cash flows as a measure of
liquidity. Free cash flow should not be considered a substitute for cash
provided by (used for) operating activities, or other cash flow statement data
prepared in accordance with GAAP, or as a measure of financial position or
liquidity. In addition, these non-GAAP cash flow measures do not reflect cash
used to service debt or cash received from the divestitures of businesses or
sales of other assets and thus do not reflect funds available for investment or
other discretionary uses. These non-GAAP financial measures, as determined and
presented by the company, may not be comparable to related or similarly titled
measures reported by other companies. Set forth below are reconciliations of
these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial
measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
Adjusted income from continuing operations and Adjusted diluted earnings per
share are reconciled to income from continuing operations and diluted earnings
per share below (in millions, except per share amounts).

Commercial Truck sales were $690 million in the third quarter of fiscal year
2012, down 10 percent compared to the third quarter of fiscal year 2011. North
American industry-wide production volumes for heavy-duty trucks increased 23
percent in the third quarter of fiscal year 2012 as compared to the same period
a year ago. However, the increase in sales in North America associated with the
higher production volumes was largely offset by lower sales in South America and
Europe as industry-wide production volumes in these regions were down 18 percent
and 13 percent, respectively. In South America, the industry transitioned to
tighter emission standard requirements for commercial vehicles resulting in
lower production volumes beginning in our second quarter of fiscal year 2012.
The recovery of production volumes has been slower than previously expected, and
we do not expect production volumes in South America to return to 2011 levels
during fiscal year 2012. The effects of foreign currency exchange rates
decreased sales by $47 million compared to the same period a year ago as the
U.S. dollar strengthened against other currencies compared to the prior year.
Industrial sales were $242 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2012,
a decrease of $66 million compared to the third quarter of fiscal year 2011. The
decrease in sales is primarily due to lower sales in our Asia-Pacific region,
primarily in China and India.
Aftermarket & Trailer sales were $265 million in the third quarter of fiscal
year 2012, slightly down from $278 million in the third quarter of fiscal year
2011. The decrease in sales is primarily due to the impact of foreign currency
translation, which decreased sales by $10 million compared to the prior year. In
addition, sales of our core aftermarket replacement products in the North
American and European markets were lower, which were partially offset by higher
sales of our products for trailer applications.
Cost of Sales and Gross Profit
Cost of sales primarily represents materials, labor and overhead production
costs associated with the company's products and production facilities. Cost of
sales for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $981 million compared to
$1,137 million in the prior year, representing a decrease of 14 percent. The
decrease in costs of sales is primarily due to lower sales, which decreased by
13 percent, and the lower fixed costs resulting from the rationalization of our
European manufacturing footprint as well as improvements in our operations.
Total cost of sales was approximately 88 percent and 89 percent of sales for the
three month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
The following table summarizes significant factors contributing to the
changes in costs of sales during third quarter of fiscal year 2012 compared to
the same quarter in the prior year (in millions):
Cost of Sales
Quarter ended June 30, 2011 $ 1,137

Changes in the components of cost of sales year over year are summarized as
follows (in millions):
Lower material costs $ (123 )
Lower labor and overhead costs (34 )
Other, net 1
Total decrease in costs of sales $ (156 )
|
Material costs represent the majority of our cost of sales and include raw
materials, composed primarily of steel and purchased components. Material costs
for the three months ended June 30, 2012 decreased by approximately $123 million
compared to the same period last year primarily as a result of lower sales.
Global steel prices were relatively stable in the third quarter of fiscal year
2012 as compared to the third quarter of fiscal year 2011.
Labor and overhead costs decreased by $34 million compared to the same period
in the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to lower sales in the third
quarter of fiscal year 2012. In addition, savings associated with the
rationalization of our European manufacturing operations, including the sale of
the St. Priest, France facility, as well as continuous improvement initiatives
contributed to the decrease in labor and overhead costs.
Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $132 million
compared to $135 million in the same period last year. Gross profit, as a
percentage of sales, for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 was 11.9 percent
compared to 10.6 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Gross margins
improved in the third quarter of fiscal year 2012 primarily due to improvements
in Commercial Truck pricing and rationalization of the European manufacturing
footprint.
Other Income Statement Items
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June
30, 2012 and 2011 are summarized as follows (in millions):
Three Months Ended Three Months Ended
June 30, 2012 June 30, 2011 Increase (Decrease)
SG&A Amount % of sales Amount % of sales
Loss on sale of
receivables $ (1 ) (0.1 )% $ (3 ) (0.2 )% $ (2 ) (0.1)pts
Short- and long-term
variable
compensation (5 ) (0.5 )% (7 ) (0.6 )% (2 ) (0.1)pts
All other SG&A (62 ) (5.5 )% (62 ) (4.9 )% - 0.6pts
Total SG&A $ (68 ) (6.1 )% $ (72 ) (5.7 )% $ (4 ) 0.4pts
|
All other SG&A represents normal selling, general and administrative expense
and was relatively flat in total. The increase in all other SG&A as a percentage
of sales compared to the third quarter of fiscal year 2011 was due to lower
sales in the current year.
Restructuring costs of $3 million were recorded during the quarter ended June
30, 2012 compared to $7 million a year ago. Restructuring costs recognized in
the third quarter of fiscal year 2012 were associated with the European
headcount reduction plan, which was approved in the second quarter of fiscal
year 2012 in response to ongoing economic weakness and uncertainty in the
European region. Remaining anticipated costs under this plan are approximately
$2 million and are expected to be incurred during the remainder of fiscal year
2012. Restructuring costs recognized in the third quarter of fiscal year 2011
were primarily associated with employee headcount reductions at our St. Priest,
France manufacturing facility.
Gain on sale of property of $16 million was recognized during the third quarter
of fiscal year 2012. This gain is associated with the sale of excess land at our
facility at Cwmbran, Wales.
Operating income for the third quarter of fiscal year 2012 was $76 million,
compared to $56 million in the prior year. Key items impacting operating income
are discussed above.
Equity in earnings of affiliates was $12 million in the third quarter of
fiscal year 2012, compared to $21 million in the same period in the prior year.
The decrease is primarily due to lower earnings from our affiliates in South
America resulting from the impact of the commercial vehicle industry
transitioning to tighter emission standard requirements and the impact of
