WABCO Holdings Inc. WBC (www.wabco-auto.com), a leading innovator and global supplier of technologies that improve the safety and efficiency of commercial vehicles, today reported Q2 2015 sales of $661.1 million, up 6.4 percent in local currencies from a year ago and down 10.1 percent in U.S. dollars, reflecting significant strengthening of the U.S. dollar year on year.

"In Q2 2015, we demonstrated yet again WABCO's consistent ability to generate sales growth that strongly outperforms the global commercial vehicle market relative to truck and bus production, as we increased sales by 6.4 percent in local currencies, despite a significant decline of 10 percent in new truck and bus builds globally," said Jacques Esculier, WABCO Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

"As expected, in Q2 2015, North America expanded truck and bus production by 11 percent, and we significantly outperformed this market by increasing WABCO content per vehicle," said Esculier. "As anticipated, new truck and bus builds accelerated in Western Europe where we also delivered strong outperformance. However, Western Europe's further market growth was almost fully offset by further decline in truck and bus production in Russia and other countries in the Commonwealth of Independent States."

"Also in Q2 2015, truck and bus production declined in both China and South America more than we had expected," said Esculier. "Nonetheless, WABCO outperformed in both markets, particularly in China, the world's largest market for commercial vehicles, where we achieved an outstanding outperformance of 25 percentage points by continuing to augment WABCO content per vehicle."

WABCO reported Q2 2015 performance operating income of $91.6 million versus $98.2 million a year ago, and operating income was $80.6 million on a U.S. GAAP basis versus $90.4 million a year ago.

WABCO's performance operating margin for Q2 2015 was 13.9 percent, up from 13.4 percent a year ago, and operating margin was 12.2 percent on a U.S. GAAP basis versus 12.3 percent a year ago.

For Q2 2015, WABCO reported performance net income attributable to the company of $81.7 million or $1.40 per diluted share versus $86.6 million or $1.42 per diluted share a year ago, and Q2 2015 U.S. GAAP net income attributable to the company of $65.8 million or $1.12 per diluted share versus $75.0 million or $1.23 per diluted share a year ago.

"In Q2 2015, we once again demonstrated the agility and adaptability of WABCO's Operating System, our globally standardized management environment. It continued to enable fast, flexible responses to volatile market changes, while at the same time propelling robust productivity gains," said Esculier.

"WABCO's Operating System in Q2 2015 delivered $17.9 million of materials and conversion productivity. It generated gross materials productivity of 5.5 percent while also achieving conversion productivity of 6.5 percent or $7.2 million in our factories spanning 4 continents, a new quarterly record amount," said Esculier.

During Q2 2015, WABCO generated $78.5 million in net cash from operating activities and $56.1 million of free cash flow, resulting in a conversion rate of 79 percent year-to-date of performance net income attributable to the company. Free cash flow excludes payments for streamlining, separation and acquisition.

Since June 2011, WABCO has repurchased 14,653,773 shares for $1,096.1 million in open market transactions as of June 30, 2015. WABCO is further authorized to repurchase up to $375.7 million of additional shares through December 31, 2016.

"In Q2 2015, we continued to demonstrate our ability to transform top-line growth into solid bottom-line results," said Esculier. "WABCO achieved a healthy incremental operating margin of 15 percent, which delivered on target within our financial operating framework." Incremental operating margin refers to the ratio of year-on-year increase in performance operating income in Q2 2015 and WABCO's growth in sales.

Recent Highlights

In Q2 2015, WABCO entered into a development agreement with a major original equipment manufacturer headquartered in Europe to adopt OptiDrive(TM) transmission automation systems for the customer's medium-duty truck driveline. Innovatively engineered in flexible modules, WABCO's industry award-winning OptiDrive technology shortens time-to-market up to 40 percent and reduces development cost by approximately 80 percent, compared with conventional automated manual transmission (AMT) systems. OptiDrive modular AMT technology also boosts fuel economy up to 5 percent through optimized gear shifting. In addition, its ease-of-use accelerates driver training and improves driver effectiveness and comfort. Series production is expected to begin late in 2016. This development agreement is in addition to WABCO's existing supply of other AMT products for commercial vehicles.

Also in Q2 2015, WABCO entered into several long-term supply agreements with a new customer based in China, an established major truck maker that is expanding into the heavy-duty truck segment. WABCO's new incremental business involves air-disc braking systems as well as conventional brake valves, other brake components and clutch servo technology. WABCO will support two new and separate platforms for the customer's different brands of medium- and heavy-duty trucks. Series production is planned to begin by mid-2017 for the Chinese market and expected export to Southeast Asia. WABCO China further differentiated its offering for this customer through highly cost-effective wheel-end solutions specially designed to satisfy local market requirements.

WABCO's North American joint venture Meritor WABCO extended a long-term supply agreement in Q2 2015 with a leading trailer manufacturer headquartered in the United States. An existing customer for well over a decade, this major trailer maker has designated WABCO's technology as their preferred standard stability control system on their insulated and refrigerated trailer lines for North America, as of July 2015. Meritor WABCO's new incremental business involves Roll Stability System (RSS) version 1M, which combines the benefits of anti-lock brake performance and trailer stability control in a single unit. RSS version 1M is further differentiated through advanced features and technology to continuously monitor a trailer's risk of rollover. In addition, Meritor WABCO currently supplies this customer with an entire portfolio of trailer safety and efficiency products.

All local commercial vehicle manufacturers in India rely on WABCO's test track located in Chennai to homologate their anti-lock braking systems (ABS) for compliance with the national government's new ABS regulation. India's ABS mandate comes into effect on October 1, 2015 for trucks weighing more than 12 tons and buses above 5 tons. WABCO's technology leadership and strong market position in India for ABS are further differentiated through its company-owned proving ground, which fully supports truck and bus makers to meet customer and regulatory requirements respectively. It provides optimal conditions to successfully certify all variants of commercial vehicles equipped with WABCO ABS on all road surfaces.

In Q2 2015, WABCO's North American joint venture Meritor WABCO endorsed the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) final rule issued on June 3 requiring electronic stability control (ESC) systems on truck tractors and large buses. According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, rollovers are the fourth most frequent cause of fatal accidents involving large trucks. NHTSA is projecting that its new ruling will prevent as many as 1,759 crashes, 649 injuries and 49 fatalities each year, providing the trucking industry with annual net economic benefits of more than $300 million on a $45 million investment by fleet owners to comply with the ruling. In 2003, Meritor WABCO was first-to-market in the U.S. with its SmartTrac(TM) stability control system. Today, 262,000 vehicles in more than 220 fleets are equipped with SmartTrac technology. Commercial vehicle fleets equipped with SmartTrac report a reduction of up to 60 percent for rollover and loss-of-control accidents.

WABCO's North American joint venture Meritor WABCO announced its support in Q2 2015 for two new recommendations by the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). The NTSB has recommended requiring vehicle manufacturers to install forward collision avoidance systems as standard equipment on all new vehicles. The NTSB has also recommended installing autonomous emergency braking systems following published performance standards for such equipment by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Meritor WABCO currently supplies OnGuard(TM), the leading collision mitigation system for commercial vehicles in North America. With more than 80,000 units installed, 27 billion road miles of service and a reorder rate of virtually 100 percent, fleets increasingly welcome this system's improvements in road safety and operating efficiency. Recently, WABCO introduced its enhanced version of OnGuard - branded OnGuardACTIVE(TM) - for trucks and buses in North America. OnGuardACTIVE, WABCO's most advanced collision mitigation system, features superior radar, operates effectively in all seasons and delivers better performance in poor visibility driving conditions.

Recently, WABCO's North American joint venture Meritor WABCO received an award for excellence in quality from Hino Motors Manufacturing U.S.A. It represents top recognition for superlative quality performance of zero defects per one-million-parts produced and for maintaining 100 percent on-time delivery throughout 2014. It also marks the fifth time in the past seven years that this major customer has honored Meritor WABCO with this prestigious award. Meritor WABCO supplies Hino with pneumatic and hydraulic anti-lock braking systems (ABS) for commercial vehicles built in Williamston, West Virginia, U.S.A., and in Woodstock, Ontario, Canada.

WABCO Updates Full Year 2015 Guidance

"Based on our current estimates of future market conditions - mainly recognizing further adverse foreign exchange effects year on year as well as continued weakening of new truck and bus production in China, South America and Russia - we believe it is timely to tighten WABCO's previously disclosed guidance for full year 2015," said Esculier.

WABCO expects full year 2015 sales growth to now range from 6 to 9 percent versus previous guidance from 5 to 10 percent in local currencies.

WABCO expects its performance operating margin to now range from 14.0 to 14.5 percent versus previous guidance from 14.2 to 15.1 percent and operating margin on a U.S. GAAP basis to now range from 12.9 to 13.4 percent versus previous guidance from 13.0 to 13.9 percent.

WABCO expects its diluted EPS on a performance basis to now range from $5.60 to $5.85 versus previous guidance from $5.60 to $6.00 and diluted EPS on a U.S. GAAP basis to now range from $4.89 to $5.14 versus previous guidance from $4.86 to $5.26.

In addition, WABCO reiterates that it expects in 2015 to convert between 80 and 90 percent of its performance net income attributable to the company into free cash flow, excluding payments associated with items for streamlining.

"This updated guidance still reflects WABCO's continuous and robust global outperformance of markets, while also generating solid incremental operating margin consistent with our financial operating framework and at the same time delivering healthy free cash-flow conversion," said Esculier.

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 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 Q2 2015 results, several tables follow this news release. Sales excluding the effects of foreign exchange and EBIT are non-GAAP financial measures. Additionally, operating income, operating margin, EBIT, 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 may mask the underlying operating results of the company, as applicable. Free cash flow presents our net cash provided by operating activities less net cash used for purchases of property, plant, equipment, and computer software; payments for streamlining, separation and acquisition related payments. These measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, GAAP measures. 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.
