MILWAIUKEE--()--REV Group, Inc. (NYSE: REVG), a manufacturer of industry-leading specialty vehicle brands, today reported results for the three months ended July 31, 2019 (“third quarter 2019”). Consolidated net sales in the third quarter 2019 were $617.0 million, an increase of 3.2 percent compared to $597.7 million for the three months ended July 31, 2018 (“third quarter 2018”). Sales growth in Fire & Emergency and Commercial was partially offset by lower net sales in the Recreation segment.

The Company’s third quarter 2019 net income was $5.6 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, compared to net income of $18.3 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, in the third quarter 2018. Adjusted Net Income for the third quarter 2019 was $13.6 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, compared to Adjusted Net Income of $24.7 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, in the third quarter 2018. Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter 2019 was $33.5 million, compared to $47.6 million in the third quarter 2018. The decreases in consolidated net income, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA were primarily due to decreased earnings in the Fire & Emergency and Recreation segments, partially offset by improved earnings in the Commercial segment.

“We believe the fundamentals that drive our business remain strong with the exception of softness in the RV market. Notwithstanding the overall strength of our markets and backlog, third quarter performance was well below our expectations in two of our three segments. Within the Fire & Emergency segment, we were impacted primarily by two of our businesses. In the case of one Fire business unit, we hired several hundred new employees but did not reach our expected line rates. In the case of one Ambulance business unit, we received an anticipated municipal order later than expected. As a result, we experienced production inefficiencies at both business units with a larger and currently less productive labor force. The Recreation segment was negatively impacted primarily by a larger than expected decline in wholesale deliveries of our Class A motorhomes as dealers have been reducing their inventory levels in excess of the actual decline in retail demand. We believe the current dealer inventory levels are close to being in balance and importantly we have revamped this business’s product portfolio which we expect will drive incremental demand going forward,” said Tim Sullivan, CEO of REV Group. “In summary, the majority of our underperformance in the quarter and year-to-date as a Company has primarily been the result of disappointing performance at three of our 20 manufacturing locations, albeit three of our largest business units.”

“The Commercial segment continued its strong current year performance through the third quarter. The Commercial segment is the first segment within the company to implement our REV Production System (RPS). This sustainable and continuous improvement-based system has contributed to the Commercial segment stability and growth this year. Our operational excellence teams have now been dispatched to our Fire & Emergency segment to assist in driving higher output and profitability improvements targeted for those businesses,” continued Mr. Sullivan.

“We remain committed to our long-term goal of 10 percent Adjusted EBITDA margins on a consolidated basis. We are currently working on a thorough strategic assessment of our business portfolio in conjunction with our planning for fiscal 2020. We are reviewing all options available to expedite the improvement of REV’s profitability toward our long-term targets.”

REV Group Third Quarter Segment Highlights

Fire & Emergency Segment

Fire & Emergency (“F&E”) segment net sales were $247.7 million for the third quarter 2019, an increase of 3.7 percent, from $238.9 million for the third quarter 2018. This increase in net sales compared to the prior year period was primarily due to the impact of unit mix and slightly higher shipments of fire trucks and ambulances in the quarter. F&E backlog at the end of the third quarter 2019 was up 9.6 percent to $775.7 million compared to $707.5 million at the end of fiscal 2018. F&E backlog at the end of the third quarter 2019 was seasonally lower by 1.4 percent versus the second quarter 2019.

Third quarter 2019 F&E segment Adjusted EBITDA declined to $12.1 million, compared to $25.3 million in the third quarter 2018. Third quarter 2019 F&E Adjusted EBITDA margin was 4.9 percent of net sales, compared to 10.6 percent in the third quarter 2018. Third quarter profitability in the F&E segment was negatively impacted primarily by the results at one of its Fire business units and one of its Ambulance business units. Profitability at the largest Fire business unit was negatively impacted by additional labor costs associated with staffing and training for its production ramp up which is taking longer to realize than originally expected. Profitability at the largest Ambulance business unit was lower than the prior year period due to the timing of incoming orders that affected its production flow and cost base in the quarter.

“Although our F&E results were lower than projected, we believe addressing the issues that drove the negative results is fully in our control. We are in the process of increasing the capacity of our largest fire apparatus plant by expanding into three additional facilities. This will grow our manufacturing footprint by 36 percent over the end of last year with a commensurate increase in manpower of 38 percent over the same period. We have experienced higher turnover of new hires and challenges in adding key skilled positions in this tight labor environment. We continue to work with our fire apparatus customers to meet our committed delivery dates and to continue to ship high quality trucks through this process. This customer focus has helped us achieve a healthy new order rate and therefore maintain our record backlog for this particular fire apparatus brand and our other brands,” remarked Mr. Sullivan. “When the project is complete, we expect the production capacity at our largest fire truck facility to have doubled since fiscal 2017. Factory reconfiguration, new employee training and implementation of RPS within F&E are expected to be completed early in the fiscal year 2020.” Mr. Sullivan added.

“Although our largest ambulance unit has been bolstered by recent awards of large multi-year municipal contracts, we experienced periods of low order intake and buildable backlog over the past twelve months. This environment challenged the business unit’s ability to staff its production lines efficiently and resulted in higher than targeted labor costs and lower revenues. We believe that recent order intake activity and production improvements help set up our ambulance business for an improvement in its profitability in fiscal 2020. We are also pleased to announce the addition of Anoop Prakash as the new President of our Ambulance division effective the last week of September. Anoop achieved a great deal of success during his tenure with Harley-Davidson (“HD”) where he successfully led the start-up of its commercial operations in India, the establishment of their Canadian operations, and the realignment and development of HD’s U.S. dealer network.”

Commercial Segment

Commercial segment net sales were $203.8 million for the third quarter 2019, an increase of 29.3 percent, from $157.6 million for the third quarter 2018. The increase in net sales compared to the prior year period was primarily due to a broad-based increase in most of the segment’s product categories. Sales of school, transit and shuttle buses as well as terminal trucks were all higher in the third quarter 2019 compared to the third quarter 2018. Growth drivers are attributable to new models and end market strength in the Class A school bus product line and the delivery against our larger municipal transit bus orders. Commercial backlog at the end of the third quarter was $395.3 million, an increase of 3.6 percent compared to $381.4 million at the end of fiscal 2018. Commercial backlog at the end of the third quarter 2019 was down 9.3 percent versus the second quarter 2019 due to seasonality and the delivery of buses during the quarter against one larger municipal transit bus order. We believe strength in our end markets along with a robust backlog of deliveries provide strong tailwinds for this segment in the fourth quarter and well into fiscal 2020.

Third quarter 2019 Commercial segment Adjusted EBITDA increased 64.4 percent to $19.4 million, compared to $11.8 million in the third quarter 2018. This increase in Adjusted EBITDA compared to the prior year period was primarily due to increased sales of higher margin school and transit buses, terminal trucks, and improved efficiencies from RPS implementation which started in late fiscal 2018. Third quarter 2019 Commercial Adjusted EBITDA margin increased 200 basis points to 9.5 percent of net sales compared to 7.5 percent in the third quarter 2018.

Mr. Sullivan commented, “The Commercial segment continues to improve both year over year and sequentially on a top line basis and from a margin perspective. The results in this segment are evidence of the strength of our products and market positions, the capabilities of our production and management teams, and the benefits of the deployment of our newer operational excellence tools. We also took action to continue Commercial’s momentum by hiring Brian Perry as President of the segment effective July 22nd. Brian most recently was senior vice president of operations for L3Harris Technologies Inc., managing operations for its Space Avionics group along with additional enterprise wide operational responsibilities which included supply chain, quality, and environmental, health, and safety across 21 facilities.”

Recreation Segment

Recreation segment net sales were $166.7 million for the third quarter 2019, a decrease of 15.5 percent, from $197.3 million for the third quarter 2018. The decrease in net sales compared to the prior year period was primarily due to decreases in sales of Class A motorhomes as well as truck campers, partially offset by the benefit of delivering on existing backlogs in our other RV categories. Recreation segment backlog at the end of the third quarter 2019 was $129.7 million, which was down 55.4 percent from $290.7 million at the end of fiscal 2018 and down 23.3 percent sequentially compared to the second quarter 2019. The decrease in Recreation backlog is reflective primarily of the softer Class A RV and camper markets plus the overall slowdown of wholesale shipments in the broader RV market during the quarter.

Third quarter 2019 Recreation segment Adjusted EBITDA decreased to $12.8 million, a 28.5 percent reduction, compared to $17.9 million for the third quarter 2018. Third quarter 2019 Adjusted EBITDA margin was 7.7 percent of net sales compared to 9.1 percent in the third quarter 2018. The reduction in profitability was solely due to the lower shipment volumes in the Class A product category. Profit margins in the other RV categories within the Recreation segment continued to be solid in the quarter.

Mr. Sullivan commented, “The third quarter Class A wholesale market slowdown was greater than anticipated as dealer orders have been slower than retail sales during the quarter, impacting the segment’s top and bottom lines. As a result, we identified and implemented cost reduction opportunities within the segment by shutting production down an extra week during the July 4th holiday and further consolidating Class A production facilities from two locations to one at our Decatur, Indiana location. In addition, we reduced production line rates and adjusted the mix of coaches produced at our remaining Decatur facility during the quarter. While retail demand for our products was reasonable compared to the overall industry during the quarter, wholesale demand was soft and is likely to remain so until at least the September Open House dealer event where we will showcase our new 2020 models.”

Working Capital, Liquidity and Cash Flow

Net working capital2 for the Company as of July 31, 2019 was $412.7 million compared to $415.3 million as of October 31, 2018 and $434.8 million at the end of the prior year third quarter. The decrease in working capital year over year was primarily due to our focus on improved working capital turns, offset partially by higher inventory levels at July 31, 2019.

Capital expenditures in the third quarter 2019 were $4.7 million compared to $8.2 million in the third quarter 2018. Proceeds from the sale of assets in the third quarter 2019 were $5.5 million resulting in total proceeds year-to-date fiscal 2019 of $22.6 million compared to $6.4 million year-to-date third quarter in fiscal 2018.

Net cash provided by operating activities in the third quarter 2019 was $61.2 million, compared to a net use of cash of $13.0 million in the third quarter 2018. This significant $74.2 million increase in net cash provided by operating activities over the prior year quarter was due to the Company’s focus on more efficient management of net working capital and including specifically the sale of targeted, excess inventory.

Cash and equivalents totaled $19.8 million at July 31, 2019. Total debt at July 31, 2019 was $418.6 million (net of deferred financing costs).

2 Net Working capital is defined as current assets (excluding cash) less current liabilities (excluding current portion of long-term debt).

Fiscal 2019 Full Year Outlook

Mr. Sullivan concluded, “Third quarter results were well below our expectations due to the performance in three of our largest business units. Looking forward, we do not expect that our new workforce in the largest Fire business unit will be sufficiently efficient through the remainder of this year as they continue to be trained and integrated into the business. Further, due to the late receipt of a large multi-year ambulance contract, we believe we will be unable to achieve these forecasted shipments and associated profitability this year. Finally, we expect the RV industry softness to continue through at least the end of fiscal 2019. Primarily as a result of these factors, we are lowering our full year guidance for fiscal 2019 revenues to $2.35 to $2.45 billion from $2.4 to $2.6 billion, net income to $(8) to $5 million from $43 to $63 million, Adjusted EBITDA to $100 to $110 million from $150 to $170 million, and Adjusted Net Income to $28 to $41 million from $66 to $84 million.”

“We are updating our cash flow forecast for the full fiscal year to $70 to $80 million, from $110 to $130 million, in net cash provided by operating activities and over $25 million, from over $40 million, of additional cash flow from other initiatives,” Mr. Sullivan added. “We are focused on maximizing our cash flow and debt reduction targets in this environment in order to set the Company up for a better fiscal 2020.”

Stock Repurchase Program

During the quarter ended July 31, 2019, the Company repurchased 222,122 shares under this repurchase program at a total cost of $3.0 million and an average price per share of $13.53. As of July 31, 2019, the Company had $38.3 million of authorization remaining under this program.

Quarterly Dividend

Our board of directors declared the regular quarterly dividend for our third quarter 2019, payable on November 29, 2019, to holders of record as of October 30, 2019, in the amount of $0.05 per share of common stock, which equates to a rate of $0.20 per share of common stock on an annualized basis.

Note Regarding Non-GAAP Measures

REV Group reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). However, management believes that the evaluation of REV Group’s ongoing operating results may be enhanced by a presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income, which are non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization as adjusted for certain non-recurring, one-time and other adjustments which REV Group believes are not indicative of its underlying operating performance. Adjusted Net Income represents net income, as adjusted for certain items described below that we believe are not indicative of our ongoing operating performance.

REV Group believes that the use of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income provides additional meaningful methods of evaluating certain aspects of its operating performance from period to period on a basis that may not be otherwise apparent under GAAP when used in addition to, and not in lieu of, GAAP measures. See the Appendix to this presentation (and our other filings with the SEC) for reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income to the most closely comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
