Sees Improving Conditions in Global Markets TROY, Mich., Nov. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ArvinMeritor, Inc. (NYSE: ARM) today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and full fiscal year ended Sept. 30, 2009. Fourth-Quarter Highlights -- Fourth-quarter sales were $984 million, approximately a four percent increase from the third quarter of fiscal year 2009; down from $1.5 billion in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008. -- On a GAAP basis, loss from continuing operations was $49 million for the fourth quarter, or a loss of $0.68 per diluted share, compared to a loss from continuing operations of $160 million, or $2.22 per diluted share, in the same period last year. -- Fourth-quarter EBITDA from continuing operations, before special items, was $40 million, approximately a 43-percent increase from the third quarter of fiscal year 2009, down from $87 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008. -- Cash flow from operations was $46 million compared to $157 million in the same period last year. -- Free cash flow (cash flow from operations, net of capital expenditures) was $22 million in the fourth quarter compared to free cash flow of $103 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008. -- Complied with all debt covenants. -- Entered into new two-year U.S. Receivables Securitization Agreement. Fourth-Quarter Results 2009 "We are proud of our performance in the fourth quarter and the 2009 fiscal year," said Chairman, CEO and President Chip McClure. "Our team has not only generated positive free cash flow for two consecutive quarters, we've also reported cost savings in our commercial vehicle businesses of $195 million, complied with all debt covenants, and completed various other actions that we believe will strengthen the company as we benefit from improving conditions in global markets - particularly in China, India and Brazil," said McClure. For the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009, ArvinMeritor posted sales of $984 million, down thirty-six percent from the same period last year. This decrease in sales was primarily due to continued weakness in the global markets. As compared to the third quarter of fiscal year 2009, sales in the fourth quarter increased four percent as markets began to show signs of a recovery. EBITDA from continuing operations (which excludes the wheels business), before special items, was $40 million, compared to $87 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008. EBITDA from continuing operations, before special items, increased 43 percent in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009 from the third quarter of fiscal year 2009. EBITDA margin from continuing operations, before special items, was 4.1 percent in the fourth quarter, down from 5.7 percent in the same period last year. Loss from continuing operations, on a GAAP basis, was $49 million or $0.68 per diluted share, compared to a loss from continuing operations of $160 million or $2.22 per diluted share in the prior year. Loss from continuing operations during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009, before special items, was $20 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, compared to income from continuing operations, before special items, of $26 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, a year ago. The loss from continuing operations, before special items, was driven by incremental tax expenses during the quarter due to the inability to recognize the tax benefit of losses in certain countries. Free cash flow was $22 million in the fourth quarter compared to free cash flow of $103 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008. The company had $95 million in cash balances and an unutilized commitment of $611 million under its revolving credit facility as of Sept. 30, 2009. Fiscal Year 2009 Results -- Sales from continuing operations for fiscal year 2009 were $4.1 billion, down 36 percent from fiscal year 2008. -- On a GAAP basis, net loss was $1,212 million or a loss of $16.72 per diluted share in fiscal year 2009. -- On a GAAP basis, loss per diluted share from continuing operations was $14.86 in fiscal year 2009, compared to a loss of $1.60 per diluted share in fiscal year 2008. -- Loss per share from continuing operations, before special items, was $1.32 per diluted share in fiscal year 2009, compared to income from continuing operations, before special items, of $1.11 per diluted share in fiscal year 2008. -- Free cash outflow (cash outflow from operations, net of capital expenditures) of $429 million for the full fiscal year. "Our team remained focused and delivered on our 2009 priorities, while simultaneously managing the company through a global recession that affected all of our segments and customers worldwide," said McClure. "As we transform into a commercial vehicle and industrial company, we believe the results we demonstrated in each of these areas will make ArvinMeritor a leaner, more efficient organization well-positioned for future growth." -- Accelerate restructuring and other cost reductions Achieved cost savings of $195 million in our core businesses for fiscal year 2009 due to swift and preemptive actions including workforce and temporary salary reductions; selective reductions in capital spending; extended manufacturing shutdowns; elimination of training programs; suspension of the quarterly dividend and elimination of all non-critical discretionary spending. The company also announced the closure of its Carrollton, Ky. assembly, machining and casting operation and the Tilbury, Ontario, Canada braking systems facility. -- Continue operational performance improvements Further implemented production system methodology; optimized manufacturing footprint; lowered inventory; strategically focused capital spending on core processes to lessen dependency on layered capacity; and maintained focus on direct material optimization activities - with more than 900 of approximately 1,700 initiatives implemented. -- Complete LVS separation Completed the sale of the company's entire ownership interest in Gabriel de Venezuela and Meritor Suspension Systems Company (finalized in October 2009) joint ventures; and sold both the Wheels business and Gabriel Ride Control Products North America, thus reducing the company's overall light vehicle business to 25 percent of total sales at the conclusion of fiscal year 2009. -- Continue to grow high-margin segments Working with Lockheed Martin Systems Integration and BAE Systems U.S. Combat Systems on a technology demonstrator contract for the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) program; began production of Navistar MXT for British Ministry of Defense; added two key product families to expanding aftermarket portfolio for commercial vehicles including remanufactured Allison automatic transmissions and all-makes power steering gears and pumps. -- Innovate and strengthen technology Introduced MXL greaseable drivelines for linehaul customers; launched PlatinumShield(TM) coating for both aftermarket and OE brake applications; completed internal integration of smart systems(TM) technology to further incorporate controls and electronics into the commercial vehicle advanced engineering group; opened technical center in Bangalore, India; preparing to launch MT-14X tandem axle in North America in 2010. Business Segments ArvinMeritor has revised its reporting segments following the recent divestitures of several light vehicle businesses. For continuing operations, the company will now report results as defined within Commercial Truck, Industrial, Aftermarket & Trailer and Light Vehicle Systems. Of these four segments, Commercial Truck, Industrial, and Aftermarket & Trailer are considered core to ArvinMeritor. -- Commercial Truck Supplies drivetrain systems and components, including axles, drivelines, braking and suspension systems, primarily for medium and heavy duty trucks in North America, South America and Europe. -- Industrial Supplies drivetrain systems including axles, brakes, drivelines and suspensions for off-highway, military, construction, bus and coach, fire and emergency, and other industrial applications. This segment also includes the company's business in Asia Pacific, including all on- and off-highway activities. -- Aftermarket & Trailer Supplies axles, brakes, suspension parts and other replacement and remanufactured parts, including transmissions, to commercial vehicle aftermarket customers. Also supplies a wide variety of undercarriage products and systems for trailer applications. -- Light Vehicle Systems Supplies primarily roof and door systems for passenger cars to original equipment manufacturers; also includes company's remaining Chassis operations. 2010 Priorities ArvinMeritor has defined six key priorities for fiscal year 2010. The company believes it is imperative to execute well in each of these areas and has developed specific action plans to achieve strong results. -- Remain focused on rigorous cost management to realize improved operating leverage. -- Continue transformation to focus the company on global commercial vehicle and industrial markets. -- Successfully execute as global markets recover. -- Drive innovation - accelerating new products and advanced fuel efficient technologies. -- Maintain focus on sustainable profitable growth. -- Continued focus on balance sheet management. Outlook for 2010 The company's financial guidance for the first quarter of fiscal year 2010 is for expected results from continuing operations, which includes all four of ArvinMeritor's current segments. For the first quarter of fiscal year 2010 (compared to the fourth fiscal quarter of 2009), the company anticipates: -- Revenue to be higher. -- EBITDA, before special items, to be higher. -- Income before taxes, before special items, to be higher. In addition, on an absolute basis, the company anticipates: -- Free cash flow, before factoring and restructuring, to be slightly negative. -- Free cash flow to be around breakeven. For fiscal year 2010, ArvinMeritor expects to report results in the following ranges for capital expenditures, interest expense, cash income taxes and income tax expense. -- Capital expenditures in the range of $90 million to $110 million. -- Interest expense to be in the range of $95 million to $110 million. -- Cash income taxes to be in the range of $25 million to $50 million. -- Income tax expense, before special items, to be in the range of $40 million to $60 million. "With the steps we have taken to manage costs - in addition to our efforts to secure new multi-year contracts, develop advanced solutions for our customers, and focus talent and resources on strategic segments of our business - we believe we are on track to benefit from future recoveries in the global markets," said McClure.

Forward-Looking Statements This press release contains statements relating to future results of the company (including certain projections and business trends) that are "forward-looking statements" as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words or phrases such as "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "should," "are likely to be," "will" and similar expressions. There are risks and uncertainties relating to the company's announced plans to divest the Body Systems business of LVS and any of the strategic options under which to pursue such divestiture. In the case of any sale of all or a portion of the business, these risks and uncertainties include the timing and certainty of completion of any sale, the terms upon which any purchase and sale agreement may be entered into (including potential substantial costs) and whether closing conditions (some of which may not be within the company's control) will be met. In the case of any shut down of portions of the business, these risks and uncertainties include the amount of substantial severance and other payments as well as the length of time we will continue to have to operate the business, which is likely to be longer than in a sale scenario. There is also a risk of loss of customers of this business due to the uncertainty as to the future of this business. In addition, actual results may differ materially from those projected as a result of certain risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to global economic and market cycles and conditions, including the recent global economic crisis; the demand for commercial, specialty and light vehicles for which the company supplies products; risks inherent in operating abroad (including foreign currency exchange rates and potential disruption of production and supply due to terrorist attacks or acts of aggression); whether our liquidity will be affected by declining vehicle production volumes in the future; availability and sharply rising cost of raw materials, including steel and oil; OEM program delays; demand for and market acceptance of new and existing products; successful development of new products; reliance on major OEM customers; labor relations of the company, its suppliers and customers, including potential disruptions in supply of parts to our facilities or demand for our products due to work stoppages; the financial condition of the company's suppliers and customers, including potential bankruptcies; possible adverse effects of any future suspension of normal trade credit terms by our suppliers; potential difficulties competing with companies that have avoided their existing contracts in bankruptcy and reorganization proceedings; successful integration of acquired or merged businesses; the ability to achieve the expected annual savings and synergies from past and future business combinations and the ability to achieve the expected benefits of restructuring actions; the ability to achieve anticipated or continued cost savings from reduction actions; success and timing of potential divestitures; potential impairment of long-lived assets, including goodwill; potential adjustment of the value of deferred tax assets; competitive product and pricing pressures; the amount of the company's debt; the ability of the company to continue to comply with covenants in its financing agreements; the ability of the company to access capital markets; credit ratings of the company's debt; the outcome of existing and any future legal proceedings, including any litigation with respect to environmental or asbestos-related matters; the outcome of actual and potential product liability and warranty and recall claims; rising costs of pension and other post-retirement benefits and possible changes in pension and other accounting rules; as well as other risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to those detailed from time to time in filings of the company with the SEC. These forward-looking statements are made only as of the date hereof, and the company undertakes no obligation to update or revise the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law. All earnings per share amounts are on a diluted basis. The company's fiscal year ends on the Sunday nearest Sept. 30, and its fiscal quarters end on the Sundays nearest Dec. 31, March 31 and June 30. All year and quarter references relate to the company's fiscal year and fiscal quarters, unless otherwise stated. Non-GAAP Measures In addition to the results reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") included throughout this press release, the company has provided information regarding income or loss from continuing operations, diluted earnings per share and operating income before special items, which are non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP measures are defined as reported income or loss from continuing operations, reported diluted earnings or loss per share, and operating income or loss plus or minus special items. Other non-GAAP financial measures include "EBITDA," and "free cash flow." EBITDA is defined as income or loss from continuing operations before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and loss on sale of receivables. We use EBITDA as the primary basis to evaluate the performance of each of our reportable segments. Free cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities, less capital expenditures. Management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release are useful to both management and investors in their analysis of the company's financial position and results of operations. In particular, management believes that EBITDA is a meaningful measure of performance as it is commonly utilized by management and the investment community to analyze operating performance and entity valuation; and free cash flow is useful in analyzing the company's ability to service and repay its debt. Further, management uses these non-GAAP measures for planning and forecasting in future periods. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for the reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Free cash flow should not be considered a substitute for cash provided by operating activities, or other cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP, or as a measure of financial position or liquidity. In addition, the calculation of free cash flow does not reflect cash used to service debt or cash received from the divestitures of businesses or sales of other assets and thus does not reflect funds available for investment or other discretionary uses. These non-GAAP financial measures, as determined and presented by the company, may not be comparable to related or similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Set forth on the following pages are reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures, if applicable, to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
