Sales were $1.08 billion, 13 percent higher than the year-ago quarter. Compared to the year-ago quarter, organic sales increased $107 million and
acquisitions increased sales $32 million, while changes in foreign currency exchange rates decreased sales by $20 million.
|
|
•
|
|
Income from operations was $125 million including expenses of $11 million related to the proposed GE Transportation merger, restructuring actions and a
tax law change in India. Excluding those items, income from operations was $136 million, or 12.6 percent of sales (see reconciliation table). SG&A expenses increased mainly due to those expenses and acquisitions.
|
|
•
|
|
Net interest expense was $24 million, including $3.2 million related to the proposed GE Transportation merger.
|
|
•
|
|
Income tax expense was $17 million for an effective tax rate of 16.2 percent. The quarter included a benefit of $7 million from the reduction of the
estimated transition tax charge that was initially recorded in the fourth quarter of 2017 due to the 2017 U.S. tax reform act.
|
|
•
|
|
GAAP earnings per diluted share were 91 cents including expenses for the proposed GE Transportation merger, restructuring actions and the refinements of
the effects of tax law changes in the U.S. and India, all of which reduced EPS by a net of 4 cents. Excluding those items, adjusted EPS was 95 cents. GAAP EPS in the 2017 third quarter was 70 cents including expenses of 18 cents per diluted
share for contract adjustments and restructuring actions.
|
|
•
|
|
In the Transit segment, sales increased 11 percent and income from operations increased 28 percent compared to the year-ago third quarter. Transit sales
increased by $68 million; the increase resulted from organic sales growth of $61 million and sales from acquisitions of $21 million, with changes in foreign currency exchange rates decreasing sales by $14 million. Income from operations was
$61 million, or 8.9 percent of sales, including expenses of $2.3 million for restructuring and the India tax law change. Lower-margin contracts in the U.K. also had a negative effect on income from operations. The year-ago quarter included
expenses of $18 million for contract adjustments and restructuring actions.
|
|
•
|
|
In the Freight segment, sales increased 15 percent and income from operations increased 29 percent. Freight sales increased by $51 million; the increase
resulted from organic sales growth of $46 million and sales from acquisitions of $11 million, with changes in foreign currency exchange rates decreasing sales by $6 million. Income from operations was $79 million, or 20.3 percent of sales,
including restructuring expenses of $700,000. The year-ago quarter included expenses of $7 million for contract adjustments and restructuring actions.
|
|
•
|
|
Cash used in operations was $30 million for the third quarter due mainly to higher working capital, including for lower-margin contracts in the U.K.
During the quarter, the company incurred $10 million of cash costs for the proposed GE Transportation merger and other restructuring actions, and $24 million of cash tax payments related to the 2017 U.S. tax law change.
