Navistar International Corporation (NYSE: NAV) today announced significant actions that build on the company's previously announced introduction of ICT+ (In-Cylinder Technology Plus) and are designed to enhance the company's competitive position and drive profitable growth and shareholder value. These actions include:
  • Adopting a U.S. market proven aftertreatment solution to accelerate delivery of ICT+, Navistar's next generation clean engine solution;

  • A market transition plan for Class 8 engine sales; and

  • Securing a $1.0 billion loan commitment, which further enhances Navistar's liquidity.
Navistar also provided an outlook for fiscal third quarter 2012 and withdrew its full-year fiscal 2012 guidance until the company releases its third quarter results in September, at which time it will provide an updated full-year outlook. The changes reflect the company's transition to the ICT+ engine solution, its ongoing work with EPA regarding this solution, and uncertainty regarding overall global demand for trucks and engines, particularly in key markets such as India and Brazil.

Navistar's overall market share for the fiscal third quarter is projected to remain flat: Class 8 at 17-18%; Class 6-7 at 35-36%; and school bus at 48-49%. The company's third quarter revenues are expected to be $2.8 billion to $3 billion. (The Street was looking for revs of $3.5 billion). Navistar expects fiscal third quarter adjusted manufacturing segment profit to be between $15 and $40 million, excluding the impact of the company's engineering integration and non-conformance penalties. Including the impact of these charges the manufacturing segment profit is estimated to be between a $15 million loss to $15 million of profit. Navistar expects an adjusted pretax loss of between $115 million and $80 million. Including the impact of the engineering integration and non-conformance penalties Navistar expects a pretax loss of between $145 and $105 million.

The company also disclosed that it has received a formal letter of inquiry from the United States Securities and Exchange Commission requesting additional information related to certain accounting and disclosure matters. Navistar is cooperating fully with this request.
