TROY, Mich., Nov. 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ArvinMeritor, Inc. (NYSE:
ARM) today reported financial results for its full fiscal year and fourth
quarter ended Sept. 28, 2008.
Fiscal Year 2008 Highlights
-- Sales from continuing operations for fiscal year 2008 were $7.2
billion, up 11 percent compared to fiscal year 2007, due to strength in Europe
and South America. This increase was four percent at constant exchange rates.
-- On a GAAP basis, net loss was $101 million, or a loss of $1.40 per
diluted share, due to non-cash income tax charges of $183 million which the
company incurred in the fourth quarter primarily to repatriate cash to the
United States.
-- On a GAAP basis, loss per diluted share from continuing operations was
$1.26 compared to $0.43 per diluted share in fiscal year 2007.
-- Earnings per share from continuing operations, before special items,
were $1.60 per diluted share, compared to $0.53 per diluted share in fiscal
year 2007 -- in line with the company's full fiscal year guidance provided
throughout the year.
-- Free cash outflow (cash flow from operations, net of capital
expenditures) of negative $9 million for the full fiscal year, significantly
better than the forecasted range of negative $50 million to negative $100
million.
"Our team executed well in fiscal year 2008," said Chairman, CEO and
President Chip McClure. "We increased margins by 1.8 percentage points, before
special items, in our Commercial Vehicle Systems business by sharpening
operational performance in all regions, and we achieved our targeted savings
of $75 million in cost reductions through our global Performance Plus profit
improvement program.
"Although commercial and light vehicle volumes in North America were down
dramatically from fiscal year 2007, we increased revenue from customers in
Europe, South America and Asia Pacific. We also achieved our strategic
objectives to grow our military business through an intense and dedicated
focus on customer requirements for ArvinMeritor's drivetrain products. And, we
successfully strengthened our aftermarket business through organic growth and
two key acquisitions which position us for greater market penetration
globally," said McClure.
Fourth-Quarter Highlights
-- Fourth-quarter sales were $1.7 billion, up eight percent from the same
period last year.
-- On a GAAP basis, net loss from continuing operations was $165 million,
or a loss of $2.29 per diluted share, due to non-cash income tax charges of
$183 million primarily to repatriate cash to the United States.
-- Fourth-quarter income from continuing operations, before special items,
was $28 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, compared to a loss of $4 million,
or $0.06 per diluted share in fiscal year 2007.
-- Free cash flow was positive $103 million in the fourth quarter.
Fourth-Quarter Results 2008
For the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008, ArvinMeritor posted sales of
$1.7 billion, up eight percent from the same period last year. At constant
exchange rates, sales were up three percent. This increase in sales was
primarily due to higher volumes in military, off-highway and aftermarket
products, and strong commercial vehicle production outside of North America.
These items were offset by softness in the global light vehicle markets.
Operating income in the fourth quarter of 2008 was $40 million, compared
to a loss of $16 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007. Excluding
special items, operating income was $52 million, compared to $8 million in the
prior year's fourth quarter.
Income from continuing operations during the fourth quarter of fiscal year
2008, before special items, was $28 million, or $0.38 per diluted share,
compared to a loss from continuing operations, before special items, of $4
million, or a loss of $0.06 per diluted share, a year ago. Favorable items
that impacted fourth-quarter results in fiscal year 2008 were higher sales and
operational improvements in supply chain management, application of lean
fundamentals and direct material cost reduction programs.
Special items included non-cash income tax charges, restructuring costs
and costs associated with the planned separation of the company's Light
Vehicle Systems (LVS) business group. These items accounted for approximately
$2.67 per diluted share of expense in the fourth quarter.
Fiscal-Year Accomplishments
"Our results in fiscal year 2008 indicate that we have improved our
ability to consistently run leaner operations, produce highly-engineered
products for our customers, execute acquisitions, and manage the business at a
profitable level despite a longer than anticipated downturn in the North
American Class 8 truck market," said McClure.
Specific accomplishments in 2008 include:
-- Improved manufacturing performance through state-of-the-art technology
across several of our core competencies, including advanced gear-cutting
processes.
-- Accelerated engineering and development to meet strong demand for Mine
Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) programs.
-- Grew U.S. aftermarket sales by six percent during a year in which the
U.S. truck replacement part industry was down six percent from last year.
-- Achieved $75 million in cost reductions through various initiatives
related to manufacturing performance, direct and indirect material
optimization and overhead savings within the Performance Plus program.
-- Higher earnings, enhanced collections and credit management, and global
inventory management favorably impacted cash flow in fiscal year 2008.
Cash and Liquidity
ArvinMeritor had $497 million in available cash balances and an undrawn,
available amount of $626 million under its revolving credit facility as of
Sept. 30, 2008. There are no current covenant constraints that limit the
availability of this facility. Also, as of Sept. 30, 2008, the company
utilized $521 million in factoring and securitization facilities - $419
million of which are pursuant to recently renewed 364-day committed liquidity
facilities that extend to September and October of 2009. The company has no
significant long-term debt maturity due until 2012.
Light Vehicle Systems Transaction Update
On Oct. 31, the company announced its plan to explore strategic
alternatives for the LVS business. "Declining global market and credit
conditions are the primary factors that have led us to expand our options for
separating the LVS business group, excluding the Wheels business located in
South America and Mexico," said McClure. "After a comprehensive review of
those options, we have determined that a sale will be our primary focus."
J.P. Morgan is the company's financial advisor related to the separation
of the business.
2009 Priorities
"The work we did to strengthen the company in 2008 enables us to respond
more quickly and efficiently to the deteriorating markets we are now
anticipating in fiscal year 2009," said McClure. "We have defined five key
priorities that we will diligently focus on this year." The five priorities
include:
-- Accelerate restructuring and cost reductions
-- Improve operational performance in all areas
-- Complete the separation of the light vehicle business, excluding wheels
-- Expand high-margin segments
-- Strengthen our product and technology position
Outlook for 2009
ArvinMeritor's forecast for North American Class 8 truck production is in
the range of 200,000 to 220,000 units in calendar year 2009, approximately the
same as in 2008. The company's forecast for heavy and medium truck volumes in
Western Europe is in the range of 400,000 to 450,000 units, down approximately
25 percent from fiscal year 2008.
The company's fiscal year 2009 financial guidance is for expected
continuing operations - which includes ArvinMeritor's commercial vehicle
systems and wheels businesses. ArvinMeritor expects the remaining LVS
businesses to be separated during 2009. The LVS outlook continues to be weak
and may negatively affect the company's overall financial condition and GAAP
results of operations until the point of sale.
Sales for fiscal year 2009 are forecasted to be in the range of $4.9
billion to $5.2 billion. The company expects earnings per diluted share,
excluding special items, to be in the range of $0.80 to $1.00. ArvinMeritor
anticipates free cash flow for the fiscal year to be approximately breakeven.
Full-year expectations include approximately $50 million in savings from
the company's Performance Plus profit improvement program which is now focused
on ArvinMeritor's European operations, and $80 million associated with
restructuring and cost reduction actions announced on Oct. 31, 2008.

the terms upon which any purchase and sale agreement may be entered into and
whether closing conditions (some of which may not be within the company's

not limited to global economic and market cycles and conditions, including the
recent global economic crisis; the demand for commercial, specialty and light
vehicles for which the company supplies products; risks inherent in operating

our liquidity will be affected by declining vehicle production volumes in the
future; availability and sharply rising cost of raw materials, including steel
and oil; OEM program delays; demand for and market acceptance of new and
existing products; successful development of new products; reliance on major
OEM customers; labor relations of the company, its suppliers and customers,
including potential disruptions in supply of parts to our facilities or demand
for our products due to work stoppages; the financial condition of the
company's suppliers and customers, including potential bankruptcies; possible
adverse effects of any future suspension of normal trade credit terms by our
suppliers; potential difficulties competing with companies that have avoided
their existing contracts in bankruptcy and reorganization proceedings;
successful integration of acquired or merged businesses; the ability to
achieve the expected annual savings and synergies from past and future
business combinations and the ability to achieve the expected benefits of
restructuring actions; success and timing of potential divestitures; potential
impairment of long-lived assets, including goodwill; potential adjustment of
the value of deferred tax assets; competitive product and pricing pressures;

including but not limited to those detailed from time to time in filings of
the company with the SEC. These forward-looking statements are made only as of
the date hereof, and the company undertakes no obligation to update or revise
the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law.
All earnings per share amounts are on a diluted basis. The company's
fiscal year ends on the Sunday nearest Sept. 30, and its fiscal quarters end
on the Sundays nearest Dec. 31, March 31 and June 30. All year and quarter
references relate to the company's fiscal year and fiscal quarters, unless
otherwise stated.
Non-GAAP Measures
In addition to the results reported in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") included
throughout this press release, the company has provided information regarding
income or loss from continuing operations, diluted earnings per share and
operating income before special items, which are non-GAAP financial measures.
These non-GAAP measures are defined as reported income or loss from continuing
operations, reported diluted earnings or loss per share, and operating income
or loss plus or minus special items. Other non-GAAP financial measures include
"EBITDA," and "free cash flow." EBITDA is defined as income or loss from
continuing operations before interest, income taxes, depreciation and
amortization and loss on sale of receivables. We use EBITDA as the primary
basis to evaluate the performance of each of our reportable segments. Free
cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities, less capital
expenditures.
Management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures used in this
press release are useful to both management and investors in their analysis of
the company's financial position and results of operations. In particular,
management believes that EBITDA is a meaningful measure of performance as it
is commonly utilized by management and the investment community to analyze
operating performance and entity valuation; and free cash flow is useful in
analyzing the company's ability to service and repay its debt. Further,
management uses these non-GAAP measures for planning and forecasting in future
periods.
These non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for the
reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA 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 operating activities, or
other cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP, or as a
measure of financial position or liquidity. In addition, the calculation of
free cash flow does not reflect cash used to service debt or cash received
from the divestitures of businesses or sales of other assets and thus does 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 on the following pages are reconciliations of these non-GAAP
financial measures, if applicable, to the most directly comparable financial
measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
