LAKE FOREST, Ill.--()--Tenneco (NYSE: TEN) reported fourth quarter net income of $40 million, or $0.73 per diluted share, which includes an after-tax pension charge of $47 million. Fourth quarter 2015 net income was $68 million, or $1.17 per diluted share. Adjusted net income rose to $92 million, or $1.67 per diluted share, versus $80 million or $1.39 per diluted share last year.

Fourth Quarter Results

Revenue

Total revenue in the fourth quarter was $2.155 billion, up 6% year-over-year on stronger global light vehicle revenues, driven by both the Clean Air and Ride Performance product lines.

On a constant currency basis, total revenue increased 9% to $2.212 billion, driven by a 13% increase in light vehicle revenue, nearly doubling global light vehicle industry production growth of 7%. Tenneco’s fourth quarter OE commercial truck and off-highway revenues declined 7% year over year, remaining essentially even with the third quarter. The company’s global aftermarket revenue was up 1% versus a year ago. Value-add revenue increased 9% versus last year.

“We finished the year with a solid fourth quarter and another year of record results, with full-year total revenue again outpacing industry production,” said Gregg Sherrill, chairman and CEO, Tenneco. “We also continued to do an excellent job converting this top line growth to drive record-high earnings for 2016 and greater profitability with our seventh consecutive full year of value-add adjusted EBIT margin improvement.”

EBIT and EBIT Margin

Fourth quarter EBIT (earnings before interest, taxes and noncontrolling interests) was $75 million, versus $128 million last year. Adjusted EBIT rose 6% to $157 million, a fourth quarter record.

Tenneco EBIT as a percent of revenue was 3.5%, which included a pre-tax pension charge of $72 million, and $10 million in restructuring and related expenses. Adjusted EBIT as a percent of value-add revenue was 9.6%, consistent with a strong performance a year ago.

Both EBIT and EBIT margin results continue to be driven by capitalizing on light vehicle growth in excess of industry production, technology content growth in both product lines, higher aftermarket sales and a continued focus on launch execution and manufacturing improvements. The year over year comparison includes $10 million in negative currency.

Revenue

For the full year, total revenue was $8.599 billion. In constant currency, revenue increased 7% to $8.819 billion.

Revenue growth was driven by a 10% increase in light vehicle revenue and a 2% increase in aftermarket sales. Commercial truck and off-highway revenue was down 4%, which included a 2% increase in Clean Air revenue due to incremental content growth, offset by lower Ride Performance revenue due to weak industry commercial truck production and the sale of the Marzocchi specialty business.

EBIT and EBIT margin

Full-year EBIT increased to $528 million, versus $519 million a year ago. Adjusted EBIT rose 9% to $636 million.

EBIT as a percent of revenue was 6.1%. Adjusted EBIT as a percent of value-add revenue was 9.7%, up 40 basis points versus a year ago.

Improvements in EBIT and adjusted EBIT were driven by incremental Clean Air content on light vehicle and commercial truck programs, Monroe Intelligent Suspension revenue growth, higher global aftermarket sales, leveraging higher light vehicle volumes globally and ongoing operational improvements. The year-over-year comparison includes $33 million in negative currency.

Cash

Cash generated by operations in the fourth quarter was $250 million, compared with $329 million in fourth quarter 2015. For the full year, cash generated by operations was $489 million, down from $517 million a year ago, due to the timing of revenue growth at the end of the year and the resulting impact on accounts receivable.

During the quarter the company repurchased approximately 1.4 million shares of common stock for $79 million. For the full year, the company repurchased a total of 4.2 million shares for $225 million.

Tenneco continues to invest in growth with total capital spending in 2016 of $343 million, primarily for new programs in Europe, North America and China.

OUTLOOK

(Note: all forward looking revenue estimates reflect constant currency.)

First quarter 2017

Tenneco expects total revenue growth of 7% in the first quarter 2017, outpacing forecasted light vehicle industry production* growth of 3%. The company expects to better the industry with 4% organic growth, driven by incremental content to meet Tier 3 and Euro 6 emissions regulations, the ramp up of recently launched programs and Tenneco’s strong position on light vehicle platforms globally. Tenneco also expects a slight increase in commercial truck and off-highway revenues and a solid contribution from the global aftermarket. The company anticipates a currency headwind in the first quarter of approximately 2% based on current exchange rates.

Full year 2017

The company expects total revenue growth to outpace light vehicle industry production by 4 percentage points, resulting in 5% growth in 2017 driven by:

  • An outstanding position on light vehicle platforms globally;
  • Regulatory-driven Clean Air content;
  • Increasing demand for advanced suspension systems, and;
  • Tenneco’s global aftermarket leadership.

The company’s revenue growth estimate assumes light vehicle industry production growth* of 1%, global commercial truck production** growth of about 2%, and growth in off-highway engine production** in regulated regions (North America and Europe) of about 2%.

In 2018 and 2019, Tenneco expects continued revenue growth, outpacing industry production by 3 to 5 percentage points each year.

“Tenneco has exceptional growth opportunities, powered by sustainable growth drivers and outstanding balance in terms of product lines, end markets, geographic regions and customers we serve,” said Sherrill. “In 2017, we expect to build on our track record of growth and continue our annual margin expansion with regulatory-driven Clean Air content growth, increased penetration of our Monroe Intelligent Suspension technology, disciplined launch execution and a relentless focus on continuous operational improvements.”

In 2017, Tenneco expects:

  • Capital expenditures between $360 million and $390 million;
  • Annual interest expense of about $70 million;
  • Cash taxes between $125 million and $140 million;
  • Full year tax rate between 29% and 31%.

The meeting will be held at the corporate headquarters, 500 North Field Drive, Lake Forest, Illinois. The record date for shareholders eligible to vote at the meeting is March 20, 2017.

Tenneco is an $8.6 billion global manufacturing company with headquarters in Lake Forest, Illinois and approximately 31,000 employees worldwide.

(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.

(2) Tenneco presents the above reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP earnings measures primarily to reflect the results in a manner that allows a better understanding of the results 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. Adjustments similar to the ones reflected above have been recorded in earlier periods, and similar types of adjustments can reasonably be expected to be recorded in future periods. Using only the non-GAAP earnings measures to analyze earnings would have material limitations because its calculation is based on the subjective determinations of management regarding the nature and classification of events and circumstances that investors may find material. Management compensates for these limitations by utilizing both GAAP and non-GAAP earnings measures reflected above to understand and analyze the results of the business. 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.

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.
 
(3) 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.
 
(4) 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 (1), (2) and (3) for a description of the limitations of using debt net of cash, EBITDA including noncontrolling interests and adjusted EBITDA including noncontrolling interests.

(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.

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.

(3) Tenneco presents the above reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP earnings measures primarily to reflect the results in a manner that allows a better understanding of the results 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. Adjustments similar to the ones reflected above have been recorded in earlier periods, and similar types of adjustments can reasonably be expected to be recorded in future periods. Using only the non-GAAP earnings measures to analyze earnings would have material limitations because its calculation is based on the subjective determinations of management regarding the nature and classification of events and circumstances that investors may find material. Management compensates for these limitations by utilizing both GAAP and non-GAAP earnings measures reflected above to understand and analyze the results of the business. 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.
