“Navigating this environment, WABCO again demonstrated its resilience and proven ability to continue to outperform global truck and bus production,” said Esculier. “Further helped by a favorable tax resolution, WABCO also achieved record quarterly earnings per share on a performance basis.”

WABCO intends to repurchase $400 million of shares in 2019, subject to market conditions and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

WABCO Announces New Corporate Headquarters
As part of its change in organizational logic, WABCO decided to relocate its corporate headquarters to Bern, Switzerland, with the objective of creating a singular focus on fully globalizing WABCO’s advanced technology strategy. The current Brussels base will become the headquarters of its newly formed division covering Europe, Middle East and Africa.

“Decoupling WABCO’s corporate headquarters from its four business regions creates a better platform to globally manage the next wave of advanced technologies and scale their adoption in all regions of the world,” said Esculier. “Switzerland is world-renowned for providing a highly favorable environment for breakthrough innovations and offers many distinct advantages for corporate headquarters.”

Recent WABCO Highlights
In Q4 2018, WABCO disclosed that it had extended and expanded its relationship with one of the world’s top original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) by signing a $950 million long-term agreement. Under the eight-year agreement, WABCO will equip two of the OEM’s brands with its leading braking, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and efficiency technologies. Representing a further industry endorsement of WABCO’s global leadership in braking system platforms, this agreement confirms WABCO as the OEM’s sole supplier for electronic braking systems (EBS) in Europe. The OEM also is confirmed as WABCO’s lead customer for its next generation OnGuardACTIVE™ Advanced Emergency Braking System (AEBS) solution. With more than 450,000 OnGuard safety systems sold world-wide, WABCO is the global industry leader, independent of OEMs, for collision mitigation systems and ADAS.

WABCO disclosed in January 2019 that it had entered a global long-term agreement to supply its next generation automated manual transmission (AMT) control technology to Daimler, one of the world’s largest commercial vehicle producers. WABCO will develop and introduce its next generation AMT control technology into Daimler’s global truck and bus series production. With a lighter-weight, robust and more compact design, WABCO’s new gearbox control unit reduces noise levels, optimizes gear shifting performance and increases driver comfort. In addition, the innovative new system is designed to support an extensive range of different truck types, gearboxes and market specific functionalities, which will support global AMT technology to further increase penetration in all regions. With more than four million systems sold, WABCO is the global market leader for AMT control solutions.

In Q4 2018, WABCO reported that it had signed a long-term agreement with Hyundai Motor Company, South Korea’s leading manufacturer of commercial vehicles. Under this latest supply agreement with Hyundai, WABCO will furnish the manufacturer with a broad portfolio of its advanced technologies to support series production of Hyundai’s new medium-duty trucks. WABCO will equip Hyundai's range of medium-duty trucks with EBS, anti-lock braking systems (ABS), electronic stability control (ESC) and electronically controlled air suspension (ECAS) systems as well as air processing units (APU). WABCO also will become the first supplier to equip Hyundai with EBS and integrated pedal units (IPU) for its medium-duty trucks.

In February 2019, WABCO announced that it had signed a long-term agreement to develop and supply innovative air suspension technology for one of the world’s largest manufacturers of premium passenger cars, based in Europe. Under this 10-year agreement, WABCO will develop and deliver an innovative air supply module along with control software to operate a range of air suspension system configurations for one of the manufacturer’s high-volume global premium passenger car platforms. Air suspension is now a standard feature on most of the manufacturer’s electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles, so WABCO will support a 30% increase in air suspension production volumes compared to the manufacturer’s preceding car platform.

WABCO Forward-Looking Statements 
This document contains certain “forward-looking statements” as defined by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that are based on management’s good faith expectations and beliefs concerning future developments. Statements preceded by, followed by or that otherwise include the words “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “strategies,” “prospects,” “intends,” “projects,” “estimates,” “plans,” “may increase,” “may fluctuate,” and similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “should,” “would,” “may” and “could” are generally forward looking in nature and not historical facts. Actual results may differ materially from these expectations as a result of many factors. These factors include, but are not limited to, the actual level of commercial vehicle production in our end markets, adverse developments in the business of our key customers, pricing changes to our supplies or products, our ability to successfully integrate any acquired businesses or our acquired businesses not performing as planned, our ability to mitigate any tax risks, including, but not limited to, those risks associated with changes in legislation, tax audits and the loss of the benefits associated with our tax rulings and incentives in certain jurisdictions, our ability to complete and realize the tax benefits associated with certain projects relating to the reorganization of our treasury function and the establishment of a regulated insurance company to better manage our group unfunded pension liabilities and the other risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section and the “Information Concerning Forward Looking Statements” section of WABCO’s Form 10-K, as well as in the “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Information Concerning Forward Looking Statements” section of WABCO’s Form 10-Q Quarterly Reports. WABCO does not undertake any obligation to update such forward-looking statements. All market and industry data are based on company estimates.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To facilitate the understanding of Q4 and full year 2018 results, several tables follow this news release. Sales, gross profit, operating expenses, and operating income, which are adjusted to exclude the effects of foreign exchange, as well as EBIT, are non-GAAP financial measures and are denoted by the word “adjusted” in the line item. Additionally, gross profit, operating expenses, operating income, operating margin, EBIT, tax rate, pre-tax income attributable to the company, net income attributable to the company, and net income attributable to the company per diluted share on a “performance basis” are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude items for separation, streamlining and acquisition, discrete and one-time tax items, and other items that management believes may mask the underlying operating results of the company, as applicable. These measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, GAAP measures. These measures may not be comparable to similar measures of other companies as not all companies calculate these measures in the same manner. Management believes that presenting these non-GAAP measures is useful to shareholders because it enhances their understanding of how management assesses the operating performance of the company's business. Certain non-GAAP measures may be used, in part, to determine incentive compensation for current employees.
