WABCO Holdings Inc. WBC (www.wabco-auto.com), a leading global supplier of technologies and services that improve the safety, efficiency and connectivity of commercial vehicles, today reported Q4 and full year 2015 results.
Q4 2015
WABCO reported Q4 2015 sales of $670.6 million, up 10.5 percent in local currencies from a year ago and down 1.3 percent in U.S. dollars, reflecting strengthening of the U.S. dollar year on year.
In Q4 2015, WABCO reported performance operating income of $87.8 million versus $88.6 million a year ago; performance operating margin of 13.1 percent, up from 13.0 percent a year ago; and performance net income attributable to the company of $82.1 million or $1.43 per diluted share, up from $81.6 million or $1.38 per diluted share a year ago.
In Q4 2015, WABCO reported U.S. GAAP operating income of $74.9 million, up from $68.7 million a year ago; U.S. GAAP operating margin of 11.2 percent, up from 10.1 percent a year ago; and U.S. GAAP net income attributable to the company of $98.7 million or $1.71 per diluted share, up from $65.1 million or $1.10 per diluted share a year ago.
"In Q4 2015, we demonstrated, yet again, WABCO's outstanding ability to generate sales growth that strongly outperforms the global commercial vehicle market relative to truck and bus production as we increased sales by 10.5 percent in local currencies, despite a decrease of 1 percent in new truck and bus builds globally," said Jacques Esculier, WABCO Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
Full Year 2015
For full year 2015, WABCO reported sales of $2,627.5 million, up 6.6 percent in local currencies from a year ago and down 7.8 percent in U.S. dollars, reflecting strengthening of the U.S. dollar year on year.
For full year 2015, WABCO reported performance operating income of $354.4 million versus $371.4 million a year ago; performance operating margin of 13.5 percent, up from 13.0 percent a year ago; and performance net income attributable to the company of $327.4 million or $5.62 per diluted share versus $334.0 million or $5.52 per diluted share a year ago.
For full year 2015, WABCO reported U.S. GAAP operating income of $270.9 million versus $331.0 million a year ago; U.S. GAAP operating margin of 10.3 percent versus 11.6 percent a year ago; and U.S. GAAP net income attributable to the company of $275.2 million or $4.72 per diluted share versus $291.5 million or $4.81 per diluted share a year ago, due to charges taken in Q3 2015 mostly associated with WABCO's previously disclosed proposals to cease manufacturing at two sites in Western Europe.
"For full year 2015, WABCO grew revenues by 6.6 percent in local currencies as we solidly outperformed our market globally," said Esculier. "Once again, WABCO demonstrated the underlying strength of our outperformance strategies against an overall market decline of 7 percent in new truck and bus builds worldwide," said Esculier.
"In 2015, we continued to increase levels of WABCO content per vehicle through overall market share gain and further adoption of safety and efficiency technologies," said Esculier. "Some of WABCO's growth was achieved, among other drivers, by government regulations of commercial vehicles that came into effect during the year."
In 2015, WABCO's Operating System, the company's globally standardized management environment, delivered $72.5 million of materials and conversion productivity, another robust achievement, which also continued to help contain price erosion. It generated gross materials productivity of 5.5 percent, another continued strong result. It also achieved conversion productivity of 6.5 percent in our factories spanning 4 continents, setting a new annual record.
In 2015, WABCO generated $395.3 million in net cash from operating activities and $321.4 million of performance free cash flow, resulting in a conversion rate of 98 percent of performance net income attributable to the company.
"For full year 2015, we further differentiated WABCO's results through stellar focus on cash generation by converting 98 percent of performance net income into free cash flow, despite a volatile market environment in which truck and bus production slumped globally and, in particular, new truck and bus builds collapsed in South America and China by 44 and 22 percent respectively," said Esculier. In addition, WABCO successfully achieved its previously disclosed objective of $20 million savings in operating expenses through 2015. As stated, WABCO streamlined support operations, extended shared services and further leveraged global capabilities, among other measures to reduce costs and increase operating efficiency.
As previously reported, WABCO implemented further measures to increase cost savings in operating expenses by an additional annualized $5 million, starting in Q4 2015, beyond the company's initial objective of $20 million through 2015.
"Relentless and rigorous cost management is yet another differentiator in WABCO's commitment to shareholders," said Esculier. "As we improve internal efficiency programs and continue to leverage our global capability to source more materials and components from best cost countries, we also continually enhance WABCO's product competitiveness in terms of cost differentiation."
WABCO Share Buybacks
Since June 2011, WABCO has repurchased 15,783,712 shares for $1,249.2 million in open market transactions as of December 31, 2015. WABCO is further authorized to repurchase up to $250.8 million of additional shares through December 31, 2016.
"In 2015, we continued to further differentiate WABCO through solid market outperformance, a 98-percent-rate of free cash flow conversion, and an allocation of capital that remains shareowner friendly," said Esculier.
"In addition, WABCO delivered 2015 earnings of $5.62 per share on a performance basis, marking a new annual record and demonstrating how WABCO sustains a world of difference to deliver outstanding value for shareowners," said Esculier.
Recent Highlights
On February 2, 2016, WABCO announced that it has acquired MICO Incorporated, a global market leader in hydraulic components, controls and brake systems for heavy-duty, off-highway vehicles in agriculture, construction, mining and similar industries. MICO generated revenues of approximately $52 million in 2015 and is headquartered in North Mankato, Minnesota, U.S.A. A long-time industry leader in pneumatic braking systems, WABCO is expanding its product offerings through the acquisition to become the first and only supplier with a portfolio of complete pneumatic and hydraulic braking and control systems for off-highway vehicles worldwide. WABCO's global presence provides increased access to growth markets and customers worldwide for MICO products. In return, WABCO gains improved access to the off-highway market in North America while expanding its operational footprint there. Both companies can also build on demonstrated world-class engineering and manufacturing capabilities. MICO was previously privately owned and operated.
Recently, WABCO has launched a budget spare parts range under the brand name ProVia. It helps workshops and fleet operators serving the commercial vehicle industry to bridge the gap between low-end budget parts - which can often fall short of quality and reliability expectations - and the higher investment required for premium-level aftermarket parts for trucks, buses, and trailers. ProVia parts represent an attractive option for operators to maximize their return on investment by helping to extend the revenue-generating life and safety performance of older commercial vehicles. ProVia parts are specifically engineered to meet reliable performance standards without compromising quality or safety. ProVia, which currently offers more than 40 products, is backed by WABCO's global engineering, manufacturing, distribution and service network for aftermarket parts.
In Q4 2015, WABCO disclosed that it has entered into a new long-term supply agreement with Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor Company (DFLQ), an existing customer and one of the largest truck manufacturers in China. WABCO's new business involves advanced vehicle safety and efficiency technologies. WABCO began series delivery in 2015 to supply DFLQ's current medium- and heavy-duty truck platforms. DFLQ produces trucks for the Chinese market and for the export market, including South East Asia, Africa, Middle East and South America.
In addition, DFLQ granted WABCO awards for superlative contributions during 2015 in three categories, including best quality, supplier excellence and strategic supplier. DFLQ honored WABCO among a distinguished group of around 1,000 suppliers.
In Q4 2015, WABCO announced that it has received the prestigious "The Supplier of the Year" award from Tata Motors, India's largest automotive manufacturer and top-10 truck and bus builder globally. Tata Motors granted WABCO its superlative award, which recognizes its most valued partner among a distinguished group of 1,700 suppliers. In particular, Tata Motors honored WABCO's extraordinary contributions through innovative and differentiating technologies; world-class quality, and outstanding value that help to improve the safety and efficiency of Tata trucks and buses.
WABCO announced recently that it has been voted into the "Top 3" ranking in its sector for "Best CEO" in the 2016 All-America Executive Team survey conducted by Institutional Investor magazine. It marks the fourth year in a row that WABCO has achieved this distinguished recognition. Institutional Investor recently published its rankings for WABCO in the automotive and auto parts sector.
Full Year 2016 Guidance
The company's 2016 guidance is based on its current estimate of future market conditions, expected adverse foreign exchange effects year on year, and inclusion of MICO Incorporated, WABCO's acquisition disclosed on February 2, 2016.
WABCO provides 2016 guidance as follows:
WABCO expects full year 2016 sales growth to range from 6 to 11 percent in local currencies.
On a performance basis, as a result of the European Commission's decision in January 2016 against the Belgian tax authority, WABCO's 2016 guidance includes the company's current estimate of a performance tax rate of 20 percent, which reflects certain mitigating actions that WABCO is considering.
On a performance basis, WABCO expects 2016 operating margin to range from 13.8 to 14.3 percent, resulting in diluted EPS to range from $5.30 to $5.80.
On a U.S. GAAP basis, WABCO's 2016 guidance includes the company's current estimate of a tax rate of 20 percent. However, WABCO could have to record a one-time, non-cash tax expense up to $85 million related to the European Commission's January 2016 decision against the Belgian tax authority, which could increase WABCO's U.S. GAAP tax rate by as much as an additional 28 percentage points.
On a U.S. GAAP basis, WABCO expects 2016 operating margin to range from 12.7 to 13.2 percent, and diluted EPS to range from $3.43 to $3.93.
WABCO expects in 2016 to convert between 80 and 90 percent of its performance net income attributable to the company into performance free cash flow.
"Our 2016 guidance reflects WABCO's continuous strong market outperformance, sustained productivity gains and the benefits of our new strategic acquisition as we pursue our three-pillar strategy of technology leadership, globalization and excellence in execution," said Esculier.
"In addition, we remain committed to transforming top-line growth into healthy bottom-line results, while further managing WABCO's pristine balance sheet," said Esculier
"However, the situation surrounding taxation in Belgium is presently a matter of high uncertainty. Supported by appropriate expertise, we are considering mitigating actions, including an appeal, which could lead all the way to the annulment of the European Commission's decision," said Esculier. "Moving forward, we also reiterate our confidence in our ability to continue to deliver outstanding value for WABCO's shareowners."

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, the outcome of any appeal by Belgium and/or the company of the European Commission's decision to invalidate the Excess Profit Ruling Program, and, if the decision is not overturned, the methodology the Belgian tax authority employs to calculate the amount of the clawback, the company's ability to claim alternative tax relief for prior and current periods, or the success of any other avenues the Company pursues to mitigate the impact of the European Commission's decision, 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 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. Performance free cash flow presents our net cash provided by operating activities less net cash used for purchases of property, plant, equipment, and computer software; and excludes streamlining, separation, indirect tax-related and acquisition payments. 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.
