LAFAYETTE, Ind., Jan. 31, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wabash National Corporation (NYSE:WNC), a diversified industrial manufacturer and North America’s leading producer of semi-trailers and liquid transportation systems, today reported results for the fourth quarter and full-year periods ending December 31, 2016.
Net income for the fourth quarter of 2016 was $23.0 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, compared to the fourth quarter of 2015 net income of $33.3 million, or $0.50 per diluted share. Fourth quarter 2016 non-GAAP adjusted earnings decreased $9.9 million as compared to the prior year period to $24.2 million, or $0.38 per diluted share. Non-GAAP adjusted earnings for the fourth quarter of 2016 excludes an early extinguishment of debt charge of $1.4 million incurred in connection with the Company’s purchase of a portion of its outstanding convertible senior notes and $0.5 million of expenses incurred related to the closing of former branch locations. Net sales for the fourth quarter decreased 15 percent to $462 million from $544 million in the prior year quarter and operating income decreased 26 percent to $40.6 million compared to operating income of $54.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2015. Operating EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure that excludes the effects of certain items, for the fourth quarter of 2016 was $53.6 million, a decrease of $15.0 million compared to operating EBITDA for the previous year quarter.
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, the Company reported net income of $119.4 million, or $1.82 per diluted share, on net sales of $1.85 billion, compared to net income of $104.3 million, or $1.50 per diluted share, on net sales of $2.03 billion for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015. Full-year 2016 results included charges, net of tax, totaling $2.1 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, related to the early extinguishment of debt incurred with the Company’s purchase of a portion of the outstanding convertible senior notes and the impairment of intangible assets in connection with the Company’s segment realignment announced earlier this year. These charges were slightly offset by gains from the transition and sale of former branch locations. Excluding the impact of these items, non-GAAP adjusted earnings for the full-year 2016 were $121.5 million, or $1.85 per diluted share. Full-year 2015 results include the benefit for adjustments, net of tax, totaling $0.9 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, as gains realized on the sale of the Company’s former retail branch locations were offset by charges for the impairment of certain intangible assets related to streamlining of product branding and the early extinguishment of debt incurred in connection with the refinancing of the Company’s term loan credit facility and repurchases of a portion of the outstanding convertible senior notes. Excluding the impact of these items, non-GAAP adjusted earnings for the full-year 2015 were $103.4 million, or $1.49 per diluted share.
For the full-year 2016, the Company achieved record operating EBITDA of $253.0 million, or 13.7 percent of net sales, as compared to $229.5 million, or 11.3 percent of net sales, for the previous year. The year-over-year improvement in operating performance is attributable to the continued strong demand and outstanding operational execution within the Commercial Trailer Products segment, effective cost management within the Diversified Products segment, along with the realized impact of capital investments in automation and productivity.
The following is a summary of select operating and financial results for the past five quarters:

Dick Giromini, chief executive officer, stated, “We are extremely pleased with our consolidated results for 2016 as we set new records in gross profit, gross profit margin, operating income and operating margin. The overall strength in the Company’s operating performance highlights the significant progress made through our growth and diversification initiatives driven by our long-term strategic plan to transform the Company into a diversified industrial manufacturer with a higher growth and margin profile, while leveraging our expertise in lean and six sigma optimization initiatives. These efforts made possible the achievement of record operating income for a fifth consecutive year, at $202.5 million, as well as a 210 basis point improvement in operating income margin to a record level of 11.0 percent.”
Mr. Giromini continued, “New trailer shipments of 60,950 for the year exceeded our previous guidance, driven by strong customer pick-up. We enter 2017 with a strong backlog of orders totaling $802 million, an increase of 25 percent compared to the previous quarter. While we expect order volumes to moderate from the historically elevated levels experienced in 2016 and 2015, we continue to believe the demand environment for trailers will remain healthy as fleet age, regulatory compliance requirements and customer profitability all support a continuation of an extended trailer cycle. That said, we remain laser-focused on driving further productivity improvements throughout the business, optimizing the cost structure and performance of our Diversified Products segment, and developing new growth opportunities through new product and market expansion efforts.”
Business Segment Highlights
The table below is a summary of select segment operating and financial results prior to the elimination of intersegment sales for the fourth quarter and full-year periods of 2016 and 2015. As announced in the prior quarter, the Company realigned its reporting segments effective in the second quarter of 2016. The former Retail segment is reported within both Commercial Trailer Products and Diversified Products, as applicable. Prior year periods have been restated to reflect this new segment alignment. A complete disclosure of the results by individual segment is included in the tables following this release.

Commercial Trailer Products’ gross profit margin for the fourth quarter increased 150 basis points as compared to the prior year period in spite of the $55 million, or 13 percent, decrease in net sales. The year-over-year decline in net sales is primarily due to lower new trailer shipments, while the increase in gross profit margin is due to continued execution of a pricing strategy committed to favoring margin over volume, operational excellence within our manufacturing facilities and continued material cost optimization. Operating income decreased $1.5 million, or 3 percent, from the fourth quarter last year to $49.9 million, or 13.2 percent of net sales.
Diversified Products’ net sales for the fourth quarter decreased $27 million, or 24 percent, due primarily to the decline in tank trailer shipments compared to the previous year period. The decrease in tank trailer demand is attributed to continued softness in the chemical and energy end markets. As a result of the lower demand levels, gross profit and gross profit margin decreased $13.5 million and 820 basis points, respectively. Operating income for the fourth quarter of 2016 was $1.1 million, or 1.3 percent of net sales, a decrease of $11.2 million compared to the same period last year.
2017 Outlook
“We enter 2017 with great momentum from a record 2016, a healthy trailer demand environment generating a strong backlog, continued excellence in operational performance, and the potential for organic growth through diversification and innovative new product introductions,” Mr. Giromini explained. “Coupled with an industry demand forecast that is meaningfully above replacement demand levels for a fourth consecutive year, our full-year new trailer and earnings guidance for 2017 is 51,000 to 55,000 units and $1.40 to $1.55 per diluted share.”
Capital Allocation
For the three and twelve month periods ending December 31, 2016, Wabash National repurchased $38.8 million and $77.0 million, respectively, of shares under the Company’s share repurchase program authorized by the Board of Directors in February 2016. In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2016 the Company purchased $46.9 million in principal of its outstanding convertible notes and for the full year purchased $82.0 million in principal. Furthermore, in December 2016 the Company announced the reinstatement of a dividend program by which it will pay a regular quarterly cash dividend to the stockholders of its common stock.
Jeff Taylor, senior vice president and chief financial officer, stated, "These actions demonstrate the confidence in our financial outlook and our ability to generate free cash flow, both near and long term, and reinforces our commitment to deliver shareholder value while maintaining the flexibility to continue to execute our strategic plan for profitable growth and diversification.”
Non-GAAP Measures
In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the financial information included in this release contains non-GAAP financial measures, including operating EBITDA, operating EBITDA margin, adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per diluted share.
These non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures and results calculated in accordance with GAAP, including net income, and reconciliations to GAAP financial statements should be carefully evaluated.
Operating EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets, and other non-operating income and expense. Management believes providing operating EBITDA is useful for investors to understand the Company’s performance and results of operations period to period with the exclusion of the items identified above. Management believes the presentation of operating EBITDA, when combined with the GAAP presentations of operating income and net income, is beneficial to an investor’s understanding of the Company’s operating performance. A reconciliation of operating EBITDA to net income is included in the tables following this release.
Adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per diluted share for the three- and twelve-month periods ending December 31, 2016 and 2015 reflect adjustments for charges incurred in connection with the losses attributable to the Company’s extinguishment of debt, impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets, as well as income or losses recognized on sale of former branch locations. Management believes providing adjusted measures and excluding certain items facilitates comparisons to the Company’s prior year periods and, when combined with the GAAP presentation of net income and diluted net income per share, is beneficial to an investor’s understanding of the Company’s performance. A reconciliation of adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per diluted share to net income and net income per diluted share is included in the tables following this release.
