Reaffirms Fiscal 2017 Estimated EPS Range of $3.00 to $3.40

Announces 11 Percent Increase in Quarterly Cash Dividend to $0.21 Per Share

OSHKOSH, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Oshkosh Corporation (NYSE: OSK) today reported fiscal 2016 fourth quarter net income of $61.5 million, or $0.82 per diluted share, compared to $50.3 million, or $0.64 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015. Comparisons in this news release are to the corresponding period of the prior year, unless otherwise noted.

Results for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 were adversely impacted by a $17.5 million after-tax asset impairment and workforce reduction charge related to a decision to outsource aftermarket parts distribution in the access equipment segment. Results for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 were adversely impacted by a combined $2.4 million after-tax workforce reduction charge in the access equipment segment and in corporate. Excluding these items, fiscal 2016 fourth quarter adjusted¹ net income was $79.0 million, or $1.05 per diluted share, compared to fiscal 2015 fourth quarter adjusted¹ net income of $52.7 million, or $0.67 per diluted share.

Consolidated net sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 were $1.76 billion, an increase of 11.2 percent. The Company reported an increase in sales in all segments. Higher international sales in the defense segment accounted for the majority of the increase in sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016.

Consolidated operating income in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 was $95.5 million, or 5.4 percent of sales, compared to $86.6 million, or 5.5 percent of sales, in the prior year fourth quarter. Fiscal 2016 fourth quarter adjusted¹ consolidated operating income was $123.3 million, or 7.0 percent of sales, excluding asset impairment and workforce reduction charges of $27.8 million. Fiscal 2015 fourth quarter adjusted¹ consolidated operating income was $89.5 million, or 5.7 percent of sales, excluding workforce reduction charges of $2.9 million. The increase in adjusted¹ operating income was primarily the result of higher defense and access equipment segment operating income, offset in part by higher corporate expenses.

The Company reported net cash flow provided by operating activities for fiscal 2016 of $577.7 million. Cash flow provided by operating activities less additions to property, plant and equipment of $92.5 million plus net proceeds from the sale of equipment held for rental of $5.4 million resulted in free cash flow¹ for fiscal 2016 of $490.6 million.

“We finished the year on a high note with fiscal fourth quarter adjusted¹ earnings per share of $1.05, which exceeded both our most recent estimates for the quarter and our results from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015,” said Wilson R. Jones, president and chief executive officer of Oshkosh Corporation. “Higher than expected sales in the access equipment segment as well as lower bid & proposal costs due to the timing of the FMTV request for proposal and favorable LIFO, warranty and benefits costs in the defense segment drove the higher than expected results for the quarter. Our improved year-over-year performance compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 was led primarily by significantly stronger results in our defense segment, including the sale of 325 international M-ATVs. We also benefited from revenue growth in our fire & emergency segment, which drives our confidence in the strength of this business as we enter fiscal 2017.

“During the quarter, we also began shipping our revolutionary new defense vehicle, the JLTV. This is just the beginning of our eight year contract to supply the U.S. Army and Marines with the world’s most capable light protected tactical wheeled vehicle. There is great interest in the JLTV from international customers as well, which further strengthens our long-term positive outlook.

“Our access equipment team delivered on the commitment to balance production as inventory was reduced to targeted levels at fiscal year end helping to drive strong free cash flow¹ of $490 million during the year.

“It’s clear that customers with exposure to construction markets are maintaining their cautious approach to capital expenditures, but our defense and fire & emergency segments help provide a solid outlook for fiscal 2017. In addition, as noted during our recent Analyst Day, we continue to work on simplifying our businesses by focusing on those activities that drive the most value for both customers and shareholders. I am confident in our team’s ability to navigate through challenging market conditions in some of our businesses and position Oshkosh Corporation to take advantage of future opportunities.

“As we consider our markets, our performance in fiscal 2016 and our opportunities, I am pleased to announce that we are reiterating our earnings per share expectations range for fiscal 2017 of $3.00 to $3.40.”

Factors affecting fourth quarter results for the Company’s business segments included:

Access Equipment – Access equipment segment net sales increased 0.8 percent to $775.8 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016.

Access equipment segment operating income decreased 20.0 percent to $45.2 million, or 5.8 percent of sales, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 compared to $56.5 million, or 7.3 percent of sales, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015. Access equipment segment results for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 were adversely impacted by charges of $27.8 million for asset impairments and workforce reductions. Access equipment segment results for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 included $2.5 million in workforce reduction charges. Excluding these costs, adjusted¹ operating income was $73.0 million, or 9.4 percent of sales, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 compared to $59.0 million, or 7.7 percent of sales, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015. The increase in adjusted¹ operating income was primarily the result of lower spending on engine emissions standards changes, favorable material costs and lower provisions for valuation reserves on used equipment, offset in part by a challenging pricing environment.

Defense – Defense segment net sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 increased 48.5 percent to $471.8 million. The increase in sales was primarily due to increased sales of international Mine Resistant Ambush Protected All Terrain Vehicles (M-ATV) as well as higher sales of legacy heavy tactical wheeled vehicles to the U.S. government.

Defense segment operating income increased 183.4 percent to $52.4 million, or 11.1 percent of sales, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 compared to $18.5 million, or 5.8 percent of sales, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015. The increase in operating results was largely due to the impact of higher sales volume and lower provisions related to contract audits.

Fire & Emergency – Fire & emergency segment net sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 increased 4.7 percent to $256.9 million. Sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 benefited from higher domestic fire apparatus deliveries as a result of increased production rates to meet higher demand, offset in part by lower airport products volume. Improved operational efficiencies have allowed the fire & emergency segment to increase its production rates.

Fire & emergency segment operating income decreased 5.8 percent to $22.3 million, or 8.7 percent of sales, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 compared to $23.7 million, or 9.6 percent of sales, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015. The decrease in operating income was primarily a result of an unfavorable airport products and broadcast vehicles mix offset in part by the impact of higher sales volumes.

Commercial – Commercial segment net sales increased 0.6 percent to $254.3 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016.

Commercial segment operating income decreased 15.9 percent to $17.7 million, or 7.0 percent of sales, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 compared to $21.1 million, or 8.4 percent of sales, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015. The decrease in operating income was primarily a result of production inefficiencies associated with the launch of new products and investments in MOVE initiatives.

Corporate – Corporate operating costs increased $8.9 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 to $42.1 million due primarily to higher share-based compensation expense, largely as a result of the impact of an increase in the Company's share price on variable share-based compensation, and higher incentive compensation expense.

Interest Expense Net of Interest Income – Interest expense net of interest income increased $0.6 million to $13.8 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 as a result of borrowings to support increased working capital levels.

Provision for Income Taxes – The Company recorded income tax expense of $22.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, or 26.4 percent of pre-tax income, compared to $18.7 million, or 27.3 percent of pre-tax income, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015. Tax optimization strategies contributed to a reduction in the Company’s effective income tax rate in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016. The Company recorded $3.5 million of discrete tax benefits in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, generally related to reductions of income tax reserves related to the settlement of tax audits and expiration of statutes of limitations.

Share Repurchases – Share repurchases completed during the previous twelve months benefited earnings per diluted share in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 by $0.03 compared to the prior year fourth quarter. The Company did not repurchase any shares in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016.

Full-Year Results

The Company reported net sales for fiscal 2016 of $6.28 billion and net income of $216.4 million, or $2.91 per diluted share. This compares with net sales of $6.10 billion and net income of $229.5 million, or $2.90 per diluted share, in fiscal 2015. Results for fiscal 2016 were adversely impacted by a $17.5 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, after-tax asset impairment and workforce reduction charge in the access equipment segment. Results for fiscal 2015 were adversely impacted by a combined $2.4 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, after-tax workforce reduction charge in the access equipment segment and in corporate, after-tax costs of $9.3 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, incurred in connection with the refinancing of the Company’s senior notes due 2020 and a $2.1 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, after-tax other postretirement benefit curtailment gain. Excluding these items, adjusted¹ net income for fiscal 2016 was $233.9 million, or $3.14 per diluted share, compared to $239.1 million, or $3.02 per diluted share, in fiscal 2015. Improved operating income results in each of the Company’s non-access equipment segments in fiscal 2016 were not sufficient to offset the impact of lower sales in the access equipment segment and higher corporate expenses, including increased start-up costs of a shared manufacturing facility and higher incentive compensation expense. Earnings per diluted share in fiscal 2016 benefited $0.17 compared to the prior year as a result of lower average shares outstanding.

Fiscal 2017 Expectations

The Company reaffirms its fiscal 2017 diluted earnings per share estimate range of $3.00 to $3.40 on projected net sales of $6.5 billion to $6.7 billion and operating income of $390 million to $430 million.

Dividend Announcement

The Company’s Board of Directors today declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.21 per share of Common Stock. The dividend, increased by approximately 11 percent from the previous dividend, will be payable on December 1, 2016, to shareholders of record as of November 17, 2016.

The Company believes excluding the impact of these items is useful to investors in comparing the Company’s performance to prior period results. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company’s results prepared in accordance with GAAP. The table below presents a reconciliation of the Company’s presented non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures (in millions, except per share amounts):
