Tenneco Reports Second Quarter 2015 Results

  • Revenue of $2.1 billion
  • Continued EBIT margin improvement
  • Higher year-over-year cash from operations

LAKE FOREST, Ill.--()--Tenneco Inc. (NYSE: TEN) reported second quarter net income of $78 million, or $1.26 per diluted share, compared with $81 million, or $1.32 per diluted share, in second quarter 2014. Excluding expenses for restructuring and tax adjustments, net income was $86 million, or $1.39 per diluted share.

Revenue

Tenneco reported quarterly revenue of $2.130 billion. Excluding a negative currency impact of $176 million, total revenue in the quarter rose 3% year-over-year to $2.306 billion, driven by growth in both the Clean Air and Ride Performance businesses. Excluding currency, OE light vehicle revenue improved 4% on higher volumes globally and new platform launches, and global aftermarket revenue rose 6% on strong ride performance sales in North and South America and growth with new customers. While commercial truck and off-highway customer unit demand was down about 25% versus last year, excluding currency, Tenneco’s commercial truck and off-highway revenues were down 7%, or 4% on a value-add basis, based on the launch and ramp up of significant new incremental content.

EBIT

Second quarter EBIT (earnings before interest, taxes and noncontrolling interests) was $155 million, versus $156 million last year. Adjusted EBIT for the second quarter was $162 million. Excluding a negative currency impact of $17 million, adjusted EBIT rose to $179 million.

“Tenneco delivered another solid quarter of profitability improvement, leveraging our strong light vehicle position globally and generating strong aftermarket sales. I’m especially pleased with our performance given the currency headwinds we faced and continuing weakness in commercial truck and off-highway markets around the world,” said Gregg Sherrill, Tenneco chairman and CEO. “In addition to our light vehicle and aftermarket performance, our focus on product cost leadership and execution on our restructuring initiatives contributed to our ninth consecutive quarter of margin improvement.”

EBIT Margin

Tenneco continued margin expansion in the quarter with year-over-year improvement in both reported and adjusted value-add EBIT margin for the company. Ride Performance adjusted EBIT as a percentage of value-add revenue rose to 11.5% from 10.7% last year on higher light vehicle volumes, strong aftermarket sales in North and South America and the benefit of our product cost leadership and restructuring activities. Clean Air adjusted EBIT as a percent of value-add revenue was 11.2% versus 11.7% a year ago, reflecting higher light vehicle volumes but impacted by lower commercial truck and off-highway volumes and costs associated with the startup of new Clean Air plants in the U.S. and Poland, as well as a major expansion of a facility in the UK to support a number of new light vehicle and commercial truck programs.

Cash

Cash generated by operations in the quarter increased to $132 million, versus $114 million a year ago, driven by strong working capital management, especially inventory improvements.

In the quarter, capital expenditures to support structural growth were $80 million versus $83 million last year.

The company repurchased 556,000 shares of common stock for $33 million in the second quarter, and year-to-date has repurchased a total of 748,000 shares for $44 million. Taking into account the company’s performance year-to-date, Tenneco now anticipates accelerating its share repurchase program and completing it by the end of 2016.

Outlook

In the third quarter, Tenneco expects growth will continue to be supported by well-established structural growth drivers:

  • Increasing global light vehicle industry production;
  • Emissions regulations which require new content to meet more stringent requirements;
  • Increased demand for MONROE® Intelligent Suspension technologies;
  • The growing global car parc, which the company serves with industry-leading aftermarket brands.

Global light vehicle industry production is expected to increase 4% in the regions where Tenneco operates. The company is well-positioned to leverage higher light vehicle volumes with its strong platform position with leading global OEMs, including launching 43 new light vehicle and commercial truck and off-highway programs.

Tenneco also expects continued content growth on commercial truck and off-highway programs to meet global emissions requirements, despite ongoing production weakness in these markets.

Increased penetration of the MONROE Intelligent Suspension system technology, including the recent launches on the Volvo XC-90 and Renault Espace is expected to further support Ride Performance growth.

The company also expects strong year-over-year sales growth from its global aftermarket business in the third quarter.

Excluding currency, Tenneco anticipates total revenue growth of about 6% in the third quarter. Based on current exchange rates, the company anticipates a currency headwind in the third quarter of approximately 7%.

Based on the most recent third party industry light vehicle production forecasts and further industry production weakness in the company’s commercial truck and off-highway business, Tenneco expects total full year revenue growth of 5%, excluding currency, within the company’s original range.

“We continue to win new business, launch new programs and ramp up incremental content, further strengthening our foundation for long term growth,” said Sherrill. “Our focus on execution, regardless of market cycles, has helped us deliver steady margin expansion, and together with our structural growth drivers, puts Tenneco in a unique position for continued profitable growth and enhanced shareholder value.”

The call and accompanying slides will be available on the financial section of the Tenneco web site at www.tenneco.com. A recording of the call will be available one hour following completion of the call on July 24, 2015 through August 24, 2015.

The purpose of the call is to discuss the company’s operations for the quarter, as well as other matters that may impact the company’s outlook. A copy of the press release is available on the financial and news sections of the Tenneco web site.

Tenneco is an $8.4 billion global manufacturing company with headquarters in Lake Forest, Illinois and approximately 29,000 employees worldwide. Tenneco is one of the world’s largest designers, manufacturers and marketers of clean air and ride performance products and systems for automotive and commercial vehicle original equipment markets and the aftermarket. Tenneco’s principal brand names are Monroe®, Walker®, XNOx™ and Clevite®Elastomer.

Revenue estimates in this release are based on OE manufacturers’ programs that have been formally awarded to the company; programs where Tenneco is highly confident that it will be awarded business based on informal customer indications consistent with past practices; Tenneco’s status as supplier for the existing program and its relationship with the customer; and the actual original equipment revenues achieved by the company for each of the last several years compared to the amount of those revenues that the company estimated it would generate at the beginning of each year. These revenue estimates are also based on anticipated vehicle production levels and pricing, including precious metals pricing and the impact of material cost changes. For certain additional assumptions upon which these estimates are based, see the slides accompanying the July 24, 2015 webcast, which will be available on the financial section of the Tenneco website at www.tenneco.com.

These forward-looking statements are based on the current expectations of the company (including its subsidiaries). Because these forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, the company's plans, actions and actual results could differ materially. Among the factors that could cause these plans, actions and results to differ materially from current expectations are:

(vii) the overall highly competitive nature of the automobile and commercial vehicle parts industries, and any resultant inability to realize the sales represented by the company’s awarded book of business which is based on anticipated pricing and volumes over the life of the applicable program;

(viii) the loss of any of our large original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) customers (on whom we depend for a substantial portion of our revenues), or the loss of market shares by these customers if we are unable to achieve increased sales to other OEMs or any change in customer demand due to delays in the adoption or enforcement of worldwide emissions regulations;

(ix) the company's continued success in cost reduction and cash management programs and its ability to execute restructuring and other cost reduction plans, including our current European cost reduction initiatives, and to realize anticipated benefits from these plans;

(x) economic, exchange rate and political conditions in the countries where we operate or sell our products;

(xiii) the negative impact of fuel price volatility on transportation and logistics costs, raw material costs, discretionary purchases of vehicles or aftermarket products, and demand for off-highway equipment;

(xiv) the cyclical nature of the global vehicular industry, including the performance of the global aftermarket sector and longer product lives of automobile parts;

(xv) product warranty costs;

(xvi) the failure or breach of our information technology systems and the consequences that such failure or breach may have to our business;

(xviii) changes by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other accounting regulatory bodies to authoritative generally accepted accounting principles or policies;

(xix) changes in accounting estimates and assumptions, including changes based on additional information;

(xx) the impact of the extensive, increasing and changing laws and regulations to which we are subject, including environmental laws and regulations, which may result in our incurrence of environmental liabilities in excess of the amount reserved;

(xxi) natural disasters, acts of war and/or terrorism and the impact of these occurrences or acts on economic, financial, industrial and social condition, including, without limitation, with respect to supply chains and customer demand in the countries where the company operates; and

(xxii) the timing and occurrence (or non-occurrence) of transactions and events which may be subject to circumstances beyond the control of the company and its subsidiaries.

(1) Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
 
(2) EBITDA including noncontrolling interests represents income before interest expense, income taxes, noncontrolling interests and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA including noncontrolling interests is not a calculation based upon generally accepted accounting principles. The amounts included in the EBITDA including noncontrolling interests calculation, however, are derived from amounts included in the historical statements of income data. In addition, EBITDA including noncontrolling interests should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) attributable to Tenneco Inc. or operating income as an indicator of the company's operating performance, or as an alternative to operating cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Tenneco has presented EBITDA including noncontrolling interests because it regularly reviews EBITDA including noncontrolling interests as a measure of the company's performance. In addition, Tenneco believes its investors utilize and analyze the company's EBITDA including noncontrolling interests for similar purposes. Tenneco also believes EBITDA including noncontrolling interests assists investors in comparing a company's performance on a consistent basis without regard to depreciation and amortization, which can vary significantly depending upon many factors. However, the EBITDA including noncontrolling interests measure presented may not always be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies due to differences in the components of the calculation.

Additionally, substrate sales include precious metals pricing, which may be volatile. Substrate sales occur when, at the direction of its OE customers, Tenneco purchases catalytic converters or components thereof from suppliers, uses them in its manufacturing processes and sells them as part of the completed system. While Tenneco original equipment customers assume the risk of this volatility, it impacts reported revenue. Excluding substrate sales removes this impact. Tenneco uses this information to analyze the trend in revenues before these factors.

(1) In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the associated debt liability. Tenneco adopted this standard for the first quarter of 2015 and applied retrospectively. The balance for unamortized debt issuance costs was $13 million and $12 million at June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014, respectively.
 

(2) Tenneco presents debt net of cash balances because management believes it is a useful measure of Tenneco's credit position and progress toward reducing leverage. The calculation is limited in that the company may not always be able to use cash to repay debt on a dollar-for- dollar basis.

 
(3) EBITDA including noncontrolling interests represents income before interest expense, income taxes, noncontrolling interests and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA including noncontrolling interests is not a calculation based upon generally accepted accounting principles. The amounts included in the EBITDA including noncontrolling interests calculation, however, are derived from amounts included in the historical statements of income data. In addition, EBITDA including noncontrolling interests should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) attributable to Tenneco Inc. or operating income as an indicator of the company's operating performance, or as an alternative to operating cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Tenneco has presented EBITDA including noncontrolling interests because it regularly reviews EBITDA including noncontrolling interests as a measure of the company's performance. In addition, Tenneco believes its investors utilize and analyze the company's EBITDA including noncontrolling interests for similar purposes. Tenneco also believes EBITDA including noncontrolling interests assists investors in comparing a company's performance on a consistent basis without regard to depreciation and amortization, which can vary significantly depending upon many factors. However, the EBITDA including noncontrolling interests measure presented may not always be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies due to differences in the components of the calculation.
 
(4) Adjusted EBITDA including noncontrolling interests is presented in order to reflect the results in a manner that allows a better understanding of operational activities separate from the financial impact of decisions made for the long term benefit of the company and other items impacting comparability between the periods. Similar adjustments to EBITDA including noncontrolling interests have been recorded in earlier periods, and similar types of adjustments can reasonably be expected to be recorded in future periods. The company believes investors find the non-GAAP information helpful in understanding the ongoing performance of operations separate from items that may have a disproportionate positive or negative impact on the company's financial results in any particular period.
 
(5) Tenneco presents the above reconciliation of the ratio of debt net of cash to LTM adjusted EBITDA including noncontrolling interests to show trends that investors may find useful in understanding the company's ability to service its debt. For purposes of this calculation, LTM adjusted EBITDA including noncontrolling interests is used as an indicator of the company's performance and debt net of cash is presented as an indicator of the company's credit position and progress toward reducing the company's financial leverage. This reconciliation is provided as supplemental information and not intended to replace the company's existing covenant ratios or any other financial measures that investors may find useful in describing the company's financial position. See notes (2), (3) and (4) for a description of the limitations of using debt net of cash, EBITDA including noncontrolling interests and adjusted EBITDA including noncontrolling interests.
 
(6) Charge related to the bankruptcy of an aftermarket customer in Europe.
 
(7) Charges related to Pension derisking and postretirement medical true-up.

(1) Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
 
(2) Tenneco presents the above reconciliation of revenues in order to reflect value-add revenues separately from the effects of doing business in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Additionally, substrate sales include precious metals pricing, which may be volatile. Substrate sales occur when, at the direction of its OE customers, Tenneco purchases catalytic converters or components thereof from suppliers, uses them in its manufacturing processes and sells them as part of the completed system. While Tenneco original equipment customers assume the risk of this volatility, it impacts reported revenue. Excluding substrate sales removes this impact. Tenneco uses this information to analyze the trend in revenues before these factors. Tenneco believes investors find this information useful in understanding period to period comparisons in the company's revenues.

Further, presenting EBIT as a percent of value-add revenue assists investors in evaluating the company's operational performance without the impact of such substrate sales.
