Navistar (NAV) Beats Q2 Earnings Estimates, Ups FY19 Outlook
Read MoreHide Full Article
Navistar International Corporation reported adjusted earnings per share of $1.06 in second-quarter fiscal 2019 (ended Apr 30, 2019), which surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 88 cents. The company reported earnings of 55 cents per share in the prior-year quarter.
During the reported quarter, Navistar recorded net loss of $48 million against net income of $55 million in the prior-year quarter.
The company generated $3 billion in revenues, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.7 billion. The figure also marks 24% rise from the second quarter of fiscal 2018. The year-over-year improvement was driven by strong performance of Navistar’s Class 6-8 trucks and buses in the United States and Canada markets.
Navistar International Corporation Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
During the reported quarter, net sales and revenues at Navistar’s Truck segment were $2.3 billion, up 35% from the prior-year quarter figure. The segment recorded net loss of $74 million against net profit of $42 million in the year-ago quarter. This decline resulted from charges related to MaxxForce Engine EGR class action settlement, higher volume and improved pricing.
Net sales and revenues at Navistar’s Parts segment were $579 million, down 4% from the same period of the last fiscal year. The segment’s profit was $144 million, up 9% on a year-over-year basis. Results were aided by higher U.S. margins and lower inter-company access fees, partly offset by lower BDP volume.
Net sales and revenues at the company’s Global Operations declined 10% year over year to $87 million. Its profit was $3 million compared with $1 million recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2018.
Net sales and revenues at Navistar’s Financial Services segment rose 24% year over year to $78 million. It recorded profit of $32 million compared with $13 million recorded in the prior-year quarter. The segment’s profit improved, owing to higher finance receivable balances in the United States and higher operating lease balances in the United States and Mexico.

Navistar had cash and cash equivalents of $977 million as of Apr 30, 2019, down from $1.32 billion as of Oct 31, 2018. At the end of Apr 30, 2019, long-term debt was $4.6 billion, almost in line with the figure as of Oct 31, 2018.
