Navistar International Corp. has announced a third quarter 2015 net loss of $28 million, or 34 cents per diluted share, compared to a third quarter 2014 net loss of $2 million, or 2 cents per diluted share.

Revenues in the quarter were $2.5 billion. An increase in the company’s truck, bus and parts sales in the U.S. and Canada was more than offset by lower export truck and parts sales, revenue declines in its global operations and exit from the Blue Diamond Truck joint venture. Retail deliveries and chargeouts in the company’s core markets (Class 6-8 trucks and buses in the United States and Canada) were up 15 percent and 5 percent, respectively, year-over-year. Dealer-led sales are up 27 percent year-to-date through June.

“We are encouraged that overall, our core truck business continues to improve year-over-year, driven by steady and improving performance in medium, school bus and severe service, where we are on track to achieve our full-year market share goals,” said Troy Clarke, Navistar president and CEO. “We’re not standing still and we continue to take actions to improve both the revenue and cost sides of the business. We expect to achieve our 8 percent EBITDA margin run rate exiting 2015 thanks to the extraordinary, ongoing success we’ve had in addressing costs across our enterprise.”

The company finished the quarter with $775 million in manufacturing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. In addition, the company refinanced its existing term loan, improving its liquidity by $313 million and extending the maturity of the term loan until 2020.

“We feel good about our position entering the 2016 buying season, especially with larger fleets,” Clarke added. “Jeff Sass, our new head of sales, has brought an even greater sense of urgency and focused action in the first three months he has been on board. As a result, we’re entering the buying season in conversations with all top-100 fleets — and we feel encouraged by the response we’re getting.”

In the quarter, the company announced a multi-year 9,000 truck order from Quality Companies — a subsidiary of Celadon. Quality Companies emphasized that the quality and fuel efficiency of new International ProStar models provide the lowest total-cost-of-ownership of any truck in its fleet.

The company also announced that it is pulling forward the next phase of its planned cost realignment and improvement actions in the areas of structural costs, materials costs and manufacturing costs.

“The cost efforts underway will enable us to become to be even more competitive in the marketplace,” Clarke added. “These actions will allow us to invest in key areas of the business, paving the way for Navistar to be profitable and cash flow positive in 2016 and better positioned as the truck market comes off its peak.”
