News Release
|
· |
Sales were $1.1 billion, a 4 percent increase compared to the year-ago quarter. The increase was driven by organic sales growth of $47 million and sales from acquisitions
of $28 million which more than offset a negative effect from changes in foreign currency exchange rates of $33 million.
|
· |
Income from operations was $93 million and operating margin was 8.4 percent including expenses of
$47 million as follows: $31 million for restructuring actions, $7 million for the GE Transportation merger, $7 million for a litigation settlement and $2 million for India tax law changes. Excluding these expenses, the company’s
adjusted operating margin was 12.6 percent, slightly lower than expected mainly due to higher transit project costs.
|
· |
Net interest expense was $36 million, including expenses of $15 million related to the GE Transportation merger.
|
· |
Other income was $0.4 million compared to other income of $4 million in the year-ago quarter. The change was primarily due to a $3 million expense for a U.K. pension
settlement.
|
· |
Income tax expense was $23 million for an effective tax rate of 39.4 percent. Excluding the impact of restructuring items, the effective tax rate was 22.5 percent.
|
· |
GAAP earnings per diluted share were 36 cents including the following: expenses of 35 cents per diluted share for restructuring actions, 17 cents per diluted share for
the GE Transportation merger, 5 cents per diluted share for a litigation settlement, 2 cents per diluted share for a U.K. pension settlement and 2 cents per diluted share for the India tax law change. Excluding these items (see
reconciliation table below), adjusted earnings per diluted share were 97 cents. The results also included a negative effect from changes in foreign currency exchange rates of 3 cents per diluted share.
|
· |
In the Freight segment, sales increased 5 percent and income from operations increased 4 percent compared to the year-ago quarter. The sales increase was driven by
organic growth of $16 million and sales from acquisitions of $6 million which more than offset a negative effect from changes in foreign currency exchange rates of $5 million. Income from operations was $71 million, or 18.8 percent of sales.
|
· |
In the Transit segment, sales increased 4 percent and income from operations increased 25 percent compared to the year-ago quarter. The sales increase was driven by
organic growth of $30 million and sales from acquisitions of $22 million which more than offset a negative effect from changes in foreign currency exchange rates of $27 million. Adjusted income from operations was $74 million, or 10
percent of sales, excluding expenses for restructuring of $32 million.
|
· |
Cash from operations was $277 million for the fourth quarter, the highest quarter of the year, due in part to a reduction in working capital. At Dec. 31, the company had
cash of $581 million, restricted cash of $1.8 billion and debt of $3.9 billion.
|
· |
At Dec. 31, the company’s 12-month backlog increased 12 percent to $2.5 billion. Its total, multi-year backlog decreased slightly to $4.5 billion.
|
· |
Sales were $4.4 billion, a 12 percent increase compared to the prior year. The increase was driven by organic sales growth of $285 million, sales from acquisitions of
$135 million and a positive effect from changes in foreign currency exchange rates of $62 million.
|
· |
Income from operations was $473 million and operating margin was 10.8 percent including expenses of $75
million as follows: $38 million for restructuring actions, $23 million for the GE Transportation merger, $7 million for a litigation settlement and $7 million for India tax law changes. Excluding these expenses, the
company’s adjusted operating margin was 12.6 percent, slightly lower than expected mainly due to higher transit project costs.

News Release
|
· |
Net interest expense was $112 million, including expenses of $29 million related to the GE Transportation merger.

|
· |

related to the 2017 U.S. tax law change, the effective tax rate was 23.2 percent.
|
