October 29, 2020 6:53 AM

Oshkosh Corp. (NYSE: OSK) reported Q4 EPS of $1.30, $0.21 better than the analyst estimate of $1.09. Revenue for the quarter came in at $1.78 billion versus the consensus estimate of $1.66 billion.

“As demonstrated by our solid performance in the fiscal fourth quarter, Oshkosh team members continued to work hard and delivered strong results in the face of adversity and global uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Wilson R. Jones, Oshkosh Corporation Chief Executive Officer. “We responded to changing markets across the globe by taking swift actions to control costs and deliver value to our customers across numerous essential businesses. As a result, our team delivered fiscal fourth quarter adjusted1 diluted earnings per share of $1.30 on revenues of $1.8 billion.

“It’s clear that our rental company customers continued to limit their spending on new capital equipment, which impacted our sales again in the fourth quarter and causes uncertainty in our revenue outlook for our Access Equipment segment for fiscal 2021. However, Oshkosh is a different integrated global industrial, and our Defense and Fire & Emergency segments provide a solid foundation to offset this impact as we move into the new fiscal year.

“I am confident in our team’s ability to navigate through these challenging market conditions and position Oshkosh Corporation to take advantage of future opportunities. This includes a recent contract we received from the Belgium Ministry of Defence for more than 300 of our next generation, high performance Joint Light Tactical Vehicles (JLTV). The contract is another vote of confidence from one of our NATO allies that the JLTV is the vehicle they need for critical missions.

“While we are not providing a quantitative outlook for fiscal 2021 today, as the timing and magnitude of recovery in our access equipment and some commercial markets remain uncertain, we are staying close to our customers and will respond to opportunities that arise. We are confident in the long-term potential of our end markets and will continue to rely on our People First culture as we persevere through the current environment,” said Jones.
