Meritor Reports First-Quarter Fiscal Year 2022 Results
TROY, Mich. (Feb. 3, 2022) – Meritor, Inc. (NYSE: MTOR) today reported financial results for its first fiscal quarter that ended December 31, 2021.
First-Quarter Highlights
•Sales of $984 million
•Net income attributable to Meritor and net income from continuing operations attributable to Meritor of $54 million
•Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $0.76
•Adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to the company of $57 million, or $0.80 of adjusted diluted earnings per share
•Adjusted EBITDA of $113 million and adjusted EBITDA margin of 11.5 percent
•Operating cash flow was negative $21 million
•Free cash flow was negative $39 million
First-Quarter Results
For the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, Meritor posted sales of $984 million, up $95 million, or approximately 11 percent, from the same period last year. The increase in sales was primarily driven by higher truck production in most global markets.
Net income attributable to Meritor and net income from continuing operations attributable to Meritor, were each $54 million, or $0.76 per diluted share, compared to $32 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, in the same period last year. Higher net income year over year was driven primarily by lower interest expense and higher sales volumes, partially offset by net steel costs.
Adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to the company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 was $57 million, or $0.80 of adjusted diluted earnings per share, compared to $43 million, or $0.59 of adjusted diluted earnings per share, in the same period last year.
Adjusted EBITDA was $113 million, compared to $102 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021. Adjusted EBITDA margin remained flat at 11.5 percent compared to the same period last year. The increase in adjusted EBITDA was driven primarily by higher sales volumes, partially offset by net steel costs.
Cash used for operating activities was $21 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, compared to cash provided by operating activities of $44 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021. The decrease in operating cash flow year over year was driven primarily by an increase in working capital requirements and higher incentive compensation payments this year.
First-Quarter Segment Results
Commercial Truck sales for the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 were $785 million, up $94 million, or 14 percent, compared to the same period last year. The increase in sales was primarily driven by higher truck production in most global markets.
Segment adjusted EBITDA for Commercial Truck was $69 million, up $6 million, compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2021. The increase in segment adjusted EBITDA was driven primarily by
higher sales volumes, partially offset by net steel costs. Segment adjusted EBITDA margin was 8.8 percent in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, compared to 9.1 percent in the same period of the prior year. The decrease in segment adjusted EBITDA margin was primarily driven by net steel costs which impacted the conversion on sales.
Aftermarket & Industrial sales for the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 were $241 million, up $7 million, or 3 percent, from the same period a year ago. The increase in sales in the first quarter of 2022 was primarily due to pricing actions taken in the segment.
Segment adjusted EBITDA for Aftermarket & Industrial was $38 million, up $3 million, compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2021. Segment adjusted EBITDA margin was 15.8 percent in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, compared to 15.0 percent in the same period of the prior year. The increase in segment adjusted EBITDA and segment adjusted EBITDA margin was primarily a result of cost savings from the footprint optimization restructuring initiatives implemented after the first quarter last year.
Outlook for Fiscal Year 2022
The company's guidance for fiscal year 2022 remains unchanged:
•Revenue to be in the range of $4.1 billion to $4.3 billion
•Net income attributable to Meritor and net income from continuing operations attributable to Meritor to be in the range of $220 million to $255 million
•Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations in the range of $3.05 to $3.55
•Adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations to be in the range of $3.25 to $3.75
•Adjusted EBITDA margin to be in the range of 11.5 percent to 12.5 percent
•Operating cash flow to be in the range of $275 million to $320 million
•Free cash flow to be in the range of $175 million to $200 million
“We are pleased with our financial results this quarter,” said Chris Villavarayan, CEO and president of Meritor. “Our momentum is strong as we look ahead to successfully completing M2022 and beginning our new three-year plan.”

Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words or phrases such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “should,” “are likely to be,” “will” and similar expressions.

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 generally 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 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 attributable to the company, adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, segment adjusted EBITDA, segment adjusted EBITDA margin, free cash flow and free cash flow conversion.
Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to the company and adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations are defined as reported income (loss) from continuing operations and reported diluted earnings (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 from continuing operations. Segment adjusted EBITDA is defined as income (loss) from continuing operations before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, noncontrolling interests in consolidated joint ventures, loss on sale of receivables, restructuring expense, asset impairment charges and other special items as determined by management. Segment adjusted EBITDA excludes unallocated legacy and corporate expense (income), net. Segment adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as segment adjusted EBITDA divided by consolidated sales from continuing operations, either in the aggregate or by segment as applicable. Free cash flow is defined as cash flows provided by (used for) operating activities less capital expenditures. Free cash flow conversion is defined as free cash flow over adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to the company. Beginning in the second quarter of fiscal year 2021, the company no longer includes an adjustment for non-cash tax expense related to the use of deferred tax assets in jurisdictions with net operating loss carryforwards or tax credits in adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to the company and adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations.
Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to both management and investors in their analysis of the company's financial position and results of operations. In particular, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, segment adjusted EBITDA, segment adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to the company, adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations and free cash flow conversion are meaningful measures of performance to investors as they are commonly utilized to analyze financial performance in our industry, perform analytical comparisons, measure value creation, benchmark performance between periods and measure our performance against externally communicated targets.
Free cash flow is used by investors and management to analyze our ability to service and repay debt and return value directly to shareholders. Free cash flow conversion is a specific financial measure of our M2022 plan used to measure the company's ability to convert earnings to free cash flow and provides useful information about our ability to achieve strategic goals.
Management uses the aforementioned non-GAAP financial measures for planning and forecasting purposes, and segment adjusted EBITDA is also used as the primary basis for the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") to evaluate the performance of each of our reportable segments.
Our Board of Directors uses adjusted EBITDA margin, free cash flow, adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations and free cash flow conversion as key metrics to determine management’s performance under our performance-based compensation plans, provided that, solely for this purpose, adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations also includes an adjustment for the use of deferred tax assets in jurisdictions with net operating loss carryforwards or tax credits.
Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to the company, adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, segment adjusted EBITDA, segment adjusted EBITDA margin and free cash flow conversion 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 or cash flow conversion calculations as an indicator of our financial performance. Free cash flow and free cash flow conversion 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 repay 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.
