Read MoreHide Full Article
Tenneco Inc. (TEN - Free Report) reported first-quarter 2019 results, wherein adjusted earnings per share of 52 cents missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 94 cents. Also, the company’s bottom line declined from the prior-year quarter figure of $1.62.
In the reported quarter, Tenneco’s adjusted net income was $42 million compared with $83 million in first-quarter 2018.
Quarterly revenues rose 74% year over year to $4.5 billion, almost in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate. On a constant-currency basis, organic revenues rose 4%, and net revenue growth from acquisitions and divestitures was 75%, partly offset by 5% negative impact of currency translation.
Adjusted EBITDA (income before interest expenses, income taxes, noncontrolling interests and depreciation, and amortization) was $327 million compared with $212 million recorded in the prior-year quarter. Apart from the acquired Federal-Mogul business, the figure includes weaker aftermarket, and China OE volumes and related operational inefficiencies.
Segmental Results

The Clean Air division’s first-quarter revenues were $1.78 billion compared with the year-earlier figure of $1.76 billion.
Revenues in the Ride Performance division were $733 million compared with $513 million recorded in the year-ago quarter.

Outlook

Biggest Tech Breakthrough in a Generation
Be among the early investors in the new type of device that experts say could impact society as much as the discovery of electricity. Current technology will soon be outdated and replaced by these new devices. In the process, it’s expected to create 22 million jobs and generate $12.3 trillion in activity.
A select few stocks could skyrocket the most as rollout accelerates for this new tech. Early investors could see gains similar to buying Microsoft in the 1990s. Zacks’ just-released special report reveals 7 stocks to watch. The report is only available for a limited time.
