TROY, Mich., May 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Meritor, Inc. (NYSE: MTOR) today reported financial results for its second fiscal quarter that ended March 31, 2021.
Second-Quarter Highlights
- Sales of $983 million
- Net income attributable to Meritor and net income from continuing operations attributable to Meritor of $63 million
- Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $0.86
- Adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to the company of $50 million, or $0.68 per adjusted diluted share
- Adjusted EBITDA of $111 million and adjusted EBITDA margin of 11.3 percent
- Operating cash flow of $63 million
- Free cash flow of $47 million
Change in Non-GAAP Measures
Beginning in the second quarter of fiscal year 2021, the company revised its presentation of two non-GAAP measures, adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations and adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share, to better align with SEC guidance. The adjustment for non-cash tax expenses related to the use of deferred tax assets in jurisdictions with net operating loss carryforwards or tax credits will no longer be included in these two non-GAAP measures; however, the underlying availability and benefit of the tax attributes to offset taxable income has not changed. For comparability, references to prior periods' non-GAAP measures have also been updated to show the effect of omitting the non-cash tax expense adjustment from adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations and adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share – see proforma table below.
Second-Quarter Results
For the second quarter of fiscal year 2021, Meritor posted sales of $983 million, up $112 million, or approximately 13 percent, from the same period last year. The increase in sales was primarily driven by higher global truck production in all markets, partially offset by the impact of the termination of our distribution arrangement with WABCO Holdings, Inc. ("WABCO"), which occurred late in the second quarter of fiscal year 2020.
Net income attributable to Meritor was $63 million, or $0.86 per diluted share, compared to $241 million, or $3.20 per diluted share, in the same period last year. Net income from continuing operations attributable to Meritor was $63 million, or $0.86 per diluted share, compared to $240 million, or $3.19 per diluted share, in the same period last year. Lower net income year over year was driven primarily by $203 million of after-tax income associated with the termination of the distribution arrangement with WABCO during the second quarter of fiscal year 2020, partially offset by the recognition of $15 million of after-tax income related to value-added tax credits in Meritor's wholly-owned Brazilian subsidiary during the second quarter of fiscal year 2021 and cost reduction actions executed in the second half of fiscal year 2020.
Adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to the company in the second quarter of fiscal year 2021 was $50 million, or $0.68 per adjusted diluted share, compared to $48 million, or $0.64 per adjusted diluted share, in the same period last year.
Adjusted EBITDA was $111 million, compared to $107 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2020. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 11.3 percent, compared to 12.3 percent in the same period last year. The increase in adjusted EBITDA year over year was driven primarily by conversion on higher sales and cost reduction actions executed in the second half of the prior fiscal year, partially offset by higher incentive compensation and freight costs. Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased year over year due primarily to increased incentive compensation expense.
Cash provided by operating activities was $63 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2021, compared to cash provided by operating activities of $309 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2020. The decrease in operating cash flow year over year was driven primarily by $265 million of cash received from the termination of the distribution arrangement with WABCO in the second quarter of fiscal year 2020.
Second-Quarter Segment Results
Commercial Truck sales for the second quarter of fiscal year 2021 were $777 million, up $146 million, or 23 percent, compared to the same period last year. The increase in sales was primarily driven by higher global truck production in all markets.
Segment adjusted EBITDA for Commercial Truck was $73 million, up $15 million, compared to the second quarter of fiscal year 2020. Segment adjusted EBITDA margin increased to 9.4 percent in the second quarter of fiscal year 2021, compared to 9.2 percent in the same period of the prior year. The increase in segment adjusted EBITDA and segment adjusted EBITDA margin was driven primarily by conversion on higher revenue and cost reduction actions, partially offset by higher incentive compensation and freight costs.
The Aftermarket & Industrial segment posted sales of $247 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2021, down $30 million, or 11 percent, from the same period a year ago. The decrease in sales in the second quarter of fiscal year 2021 was due primarily to the impact from the termination of the WABCO distribution arrangement.
Segment adjusted EBITDA for Aftermarket & Industrial was $34 million, down $12 million, compared to the second quarter of fiscal year 2020. Segment adjusted EBITDA margin decreased to 13.8 percent in the second quarter of fiscal year 2021, compared to 16.6 percent in the same period of the prior year. The decrease in segment adjusted EBITDA and segment adjusted EBITDA margin was driven primarily by the impact from the termination of the WABCO distribution arrangement and increased incentive compensation costs, partially offset by cost reduction actions.

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 generally 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 Financial Measures
In addition to the results reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"), we have provided information regarding non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures include adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to the company, adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, segment adjusted EBITDA, segment adjusted EBITDA margin, free cash flow and free cash flow conversion.
Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to the company and adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations are defined as reported income (loss) from continuing operations and reported diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations before restructuring expenses, asset impairment charges and other special items as determined by management. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income (loss) from continuing operations before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-controlling interests in consolidated joint ventures, loss on sale of receivables, restructuring expenses, asset impairment charges and other special items as determined by management. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as adjusted EBITDA divided by consolidated sales from continuing operations. Segment adjusted EBITDA is defined as income (loss) from continuing operations before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, noncontrolling interests in consolidated joint ventures, loss on sale of receivables, restructuring expense, asset impairment charges and other special items as determined by management. Segment adjusted EBITDA excludes unallocated legacy and corporate expense (income), net. Segment adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as segment adjusted EBITDA divided by consolidated sales from continuing operations, either in the aggregate or by segment as applicable. Free cash flow is defined as cash flows provided by (used for) operating activities less capital expenditures. Free cash flow conversion is defined as free cash flow over adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to the company. Beginning in the second quarter of fiscal year 2021, the company will no longer include an adjustment for non-cash tax expense related to the use of deferred tax assets in jurisdictions with net operating loss carryforwards or tax credits in adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations and adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share.
Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to both management and investors in their analysis of the company's financial position and results of operations. In particular, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, segment adjusted EBITDA, segment adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to the company, adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations and free cash flow conversion are meaningful measures of performance to investors as they are commonly utilized to analyze financial performance in our industry, perform analytical comparisons, measure value creation, benchmark performance between periods and measure our performance against externally communicated targets.
Free cash flow is used by investors and management to analyze our ability to service and repay debt and return value directly to shareholders. Free cash flow conversion is a specific financial measure of our M2022 plan used to measure the company's ability to convert earnings to free cash flow and provides useful information about our ability to achieve strategic goals.
Management uses the aforementioned non-GAAP financial measures for planning and forecasting purposes, and segment adjusted EBITDA is also used as the primary basis for the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") to evaluate the performance of each of our reportable segments.
Our Board of Directors uses adjusted EBITDA margin, free cash flow, adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations and free cash flow conversion as key metrics to determine management's performance under our performance-based compensation plans, provided that, solely for this purpose, adjusted diluted earnings (loss) from continuing operations also includes an adjustment related to the use of deferred tax assets in jurisdictions with net operating loss carryforwards or tax credits.
Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to the company, adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, segment adjusted EBITDA, segment adjusted EBITDA margin and free cash flow conversion should not be considered a substitute for the reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or cash flow conversion calculations as an indicator of our financial performance. Free cash flow and free cash flow conversion should not be considered a substitute for cash provided by (used for) operating activities, or other cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP, or as a measure of financial position or liquidity. In addition, these non-GAAP cash flow measures do not reflect cash used to repay debt or cash received from the divestitures of businesses or sales of other assets and thus do 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 below are reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
