  • Achieved record quarter net sales of $613 million, a 41 percent increase from prior year
  • Gross profit and operating income increased 26 percent and 19 percent, respectively, compared to the prior year
  • Second quarter GAAP and non-GAAP earnings of $0.54 and $0.49 per diluted share, respectively
  • Backlog increased 51 percent to $1.2 billion compared to the prior year 
  • Company updates full-year 2018 guidance for new trailer shipments of 60,000 to 62,000 trailers and GAAP and non-GAAP earnings to $2.06 to $2.12 per diluted share and $1.94 to $2.00 per diluted share, respectively

LAFAYETTE, Ind., July 31, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wabash National Corporation (NYSE: WNC), a diversified industrial manufacturer and a leading producer of semi-trailers, truck bodies and liquid transportation systems, today reported results for the quarter ending June 30, 2018.

Net sales for the second quarter 2018 increased 41 percent to $613 million from $436 million in the prior year quarter.  This increase reflects strong top-line growth in each of the Company’s three operating segments due to a continued healthy demand environment and the favorable impact of the inclusion of the results of Supreme Industries, Inc. (“Supreme”), acquired in the third quarter of 2017.  Gross profit increased $17.6 million and profit margin decreased 160 basis points as compared to the prior year period.  The decrease in the profit margin is due primarily to increased material costs, higher labor costs attributable to attracting and retaining a skilled workforce and supplier constraints for key materials leading to production inefficiencies.  Operating income increased 19 percent to $46.0 million compared to operating income of $38.7 million for the second quarter 2017.

“We are pleased to have delivered a strong performance in the quarter, especially considering the challenging environment we faced, as we continue to execute our strategic plan to profitably grow and diversify,” stated Brent Yeagy, president and chief executive officer.  “We achieved a new record for quarterly consolidated revenue at approximately $613 million, which is 13 percent higher than the previous record from the fourth quarter of 2015.  This new record is directly attributable to the addition of the Supreme business and our Final Mile Products segment.  Needless to say, we continue to believe our Final Mile Products business will help drive future growth for Wabash National.  Overall, all three of our reporting segments continue to experience strong demand in most end markets and we expect a stronger second half of 2018.”

Mr. Yeagy continued, “Backlog totaling $1.2 billion as of June 30, 2018, remains seasonally and historically strong, increasing approximately 51 percent when compared to the prior year quarter.  Trailer and truck body demand and orders have remained strong for the past several months continuing the trend from the first quarter and supporting our belief in the growing secular demand in e-commerce and home delivery.  We continue to take steps to reduce the margin impact of U.S. tariff policy, raw material inflation, supply base disruptions and a very tight labor market on our business in 2018.  As a result, we are updating our full-year guidance for 2018 new trailer shipments to 60,000 to 62,000 units and GAAP and non-GAAP earnings to $2.06 to $2.12 per diluted share and $1.94 to $2.00 per diluted share, respectively.  With our focus on people, purpose and performance we will continue to drive ongoing productivity improvements throughout the organization and progress on our strategic initiatives.”

Net income for the second quarter 2018 was $31.9 million, or $0.54 per diluted share, compared to the second quarter 2017 net income of $22.9 million, or $0.36 per diluted share.  Second quarter 2018 non-GAAP adjusted earnings were $29.2 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, a $6.0 million increase as compared to the prior year period.  Non-GAAP adjusted earnings for the second quarter 2018 excludes net gains on sale of former facilities and acquisition and integration related activities associated with Supreme.  Non-GAAP adjusted earnings for the second quarter 2017 includes charges related to the early extinguishment of debt in connection with the Company’s repurchase of a portion of its outstanding convertible senior notes, one-time executive severance costs and losses on closure of former facilities.

Operating EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure that excludes the effects of certain items, for the second quarter 2018 was $58.9 million, an increase of $9.4 million compared to operating EBITDA for the prior year period.  On a trailing twelve month basis, net sales totaled $2.1 billion, generating operating EBITDA of $195.5 million, or 9.4 percent of net sales.

Commercial Trailer Products’ net sales for the second quarter were $403 million, an increase of $54 million, or 16 percent, as compared to the prior year.  Gross profit margin for the second quarter decreased 280 basis points as compared to the prior year period primarily due to increases in material costs due to tariff related inflation, short term labor costs required to meet current demand and supplier induced production interruptions.  Operating income decreased $1.4 million, or 3 percent, from the second quarter last year to $40.8 million, or 10.1 percent of net sales.

Diversified Products’ net sales for the second quarter were $94 million, an increase of $3 million, or 4 percent, as compared to the prior year, due primarily to the increased demand for liquid tank trailers as compared to the previous year period.  Gross profit and profit margins as compared to the prior year period decreased $0.5 million and 120 basis points, respectively, primarily due to increased material costs and short-term labor inefficiencies, including higher overtime levels in order to meet strong demand requirements.  Operating income for the second quarter 2018 was $4.4 million, or 4.7 percent of net sales, a decrease of $0.7 million compared to the prior year. 

Final Mile Products’ net sales for the second quarter totaled $121 million.  This is the highest revenue quarter in Supreme’s history and is the result of a strong demand market in the truck body industry.  Gross profit and gross profit margin for the second quarter were $20.9 million and 17.3 percent, respectively.  Operating income for the second quarter 2018 totaled $10.3 million, or 8.5 percent of net sales.

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, charges incurred in connection with the acquisition and integration of Supreme, 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 six-month periods ending June 30, 2018 and 2017 reflect adjustments for charges incurred in connection with acquisition and integration of Supreme, the losses attributable to the Company’s extinguishment of debt, executive severance costs and income or losses recognized on sale of former branch locations.  Prior periods would also include adjustments related to tax benefits associated with the adjustment of the Company’s net deferred income tax liability as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 and reversal of reserves for uncertain tax positions.  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.
