“Our second quarter sales were strong with double-digit growth in unit
volume and we secured a number of first-time accounts,” said Phil
Horlock, President and Chief Executive Officer of Blue Bird Corporation.
“We maintained our strong leadership position in
alternative-fuel-powered buses, with year-to-date orders 43% higher than
at the same time last year. With a strong backlog of new bus orders that
take us into the fourth quarter, we are pleased to reaffirm our
full-year fiscal 2017 net revenue guidance of $980 million - 1,010
million, Adjusted EBITDA guidance of $72 - 76 million and Adjusted Free
Cash Flow guidance of $38 - 42 million.”
Second Quarter 2017 Results
Net Sales
Total net sales were $208.7 million for the second quarter of fiscal
2017, an increase of $17.4 million, or 9.1%, from prior year period. Bus
unit sales were 2,367 units for the quarter compared with 2,132 units
for the same period last year.
Gross Profit
Second quarter gross profit of $24.6 million represents a decrease of
$0.5 million from the second quarter of last year.
Income/Loss from Continuing Operations
Income from continuing operations was $2.8 million for the second
quarter of fiscal 2017, an increase of $1.4 million compared with the
same period last year. The increase was primarily driven by higher sales
volume.
Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations was $3.0 million,
representing an increase of $0.8 million compared with the same period
last year.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA was $8.1 million, or 3.9% of net sales, for the second
quarter of fiscal 2017, representing a decrease of $2.0 million compared
with the second quarter of the prior year. The decrease in adjusted
EBITDA was primarily driven by product and customer mix and higher
operating expenses to support future growth.
Year-to-Date 2017 Results
Net Sales
Total net sales were $345.3 million for the six months ended April 1,
2017, an increase of $22.8 million, or 7.1%, compared with the prior
year. This was primarily driven by higher bus unit sales, which were 320
units above the same period last year.
Gross Profit
Year-to-date gross profit was $42.8 million, a decrease of $1.0 million
from the prior year.
Income/Loss from Continuing Operations
Loss from continuing operations was $5.7 million for the six months
ended April 1, 2017, which was $4.7 million more than the same period in
the prior year. The increased loss was primarily driven by debt
extinguishment costs of $10.1 million, offset by lower interest expense
and tax expense.
Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations was $1.0 million,
representing an increase of $0.3 million compared with the prior year.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA was $10.7 million, or 3.1% of net sales, for the six
months ended April 1, 2017, a decrease of $4.7 million from the prior
year. The decrease in adjusted EBITDA was primarily the result of lower
gross profit and increased selling, general and administrative expenses.

Key Non-GAAP Financial Measures We Use to
Evaluate Our Performance
This press release includes the following non-GAAP financial measures
“Adjusted EBITDA,” "Adjusted EBITDA Margin," "Adjusted Income/Loss from
Continuing Operations," "Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share," “Free
Cash Flow” and “Adjusted Free Cash Flow” because management views these
metrics as a useful way to look at the performance of our operations
between periods and to exclude decisions on capital investment and
financing that might otherwise impact the review of profitability of the
business based on present market conditions.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income from continuing operations prior to
interest income, interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation,
amortization, and disposals, as adjusted to add back certain charges
that we may record each year, such as stock-compensation expense and
transaction costs, as these expenses are not considered an indicator of
ongoing company performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA margin as
Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales. Adjusted income (loss)
from continuing operations is net income from continuing operations net
of taxes, as adjusted to add back certain transaction costs not
considered an indicator of ongoing company performance. Adjusted diluted
earnings per share represents adjusted income (loss) from continuing
operations by diluted weighted average common shares outstanding (as if
we had GAAP net income during the respective period). Adjusted EBITDA,
Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations, and
Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share are not measures of performance
defined in accordance with GAAP. The measures are used as a supplement
to GAAP results in evaluating certain aspects of our business, as
described below.
We believe that Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Income
from Continuing Operations, and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share are
useful to investors in evaluating our performance because the measures
consider the performance of our operations, excluding decisions made
with respect to capital investment, financing, and other expenses. We
believe that the non-GAAP metrics offer additional financial metrics
that, when coupled with the GAAP results and the reconciliation to GAAP
results, provide a more complete understanding of our results of
operations and the factors and trends affecting our business.
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Income from Continuing
Operations and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share should not be
considered as alternatives to net income or GAAP earnings per share as
an indicator of our performance or as alternatives to any other measure
prescribed by GAAP as there are limitations to using such non-GAAP
measures. Although we believe the non-GAAP measures may enhance the
evaluation of our operating performance based on recent revenue
generation and product/overhead cost control because they exclude the
impact of prior decisions made about capital investment, financing, and
other expenses, (i) other companies in Blue Bird’s industry may define
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Income from Continuing
Operations, and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share differently than we
do and, as a result, they may not be comparable to similarly titled
measures used by other companies in Blue Bird’s industry, and
(ii) Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Income from
Continuing Operations, and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share exclude
certain financial information that some may consider important in
evaluating our performance.
We compensate for these limitations by providing disclosure of the
differences between Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted
Income from Continuing Operations, and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per
Share and GAAP results, including providing a reconciliation to GAAP
results, to enable investors to perform their own analysis of our
operating results.
Our measures of “Free Cash Flow” and "Adjusted Free Cash Flow" are used
in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance
with GAAP and free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow should not be
relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures. Free cash flow
and adjusted free cash flow reflect an additional way of viewing our
liquidity that, when viewed with our GAAP results, provides a more
complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our cash flows.
We strongly encourage investors to review our financial statements and
publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single
financial measure.
We define free cash flow as net cash provided by/used in continuing
operations minus cash paid for fixed assets. We define adjusted free
cash flow as free cash flow minus cash paid for special compensation and
other business combination expenses. We use free cash flow and adjusted
free cash flow, and ratios based on both, to conduct and evaluate our
business because, although it is similar to cash flow from operations,
we believe it is a more conservative measure of cash flow since
purchases of fixed assets and intangible assets are a necessary
component of ongoing operations. In limited circumstances in which
proceeds from sales of fixed or intangible assets exceed purchases, free
cash flow would exceed cash flow from operations. However, since we do
not anticipate being a net seller of fixed or intangible assets, we
expect free cash flow to be less than operating cash flows.
