BRUSSELS, BELGIUM--(Marketwire - October 28, 2009) - WABCO Holdings Inc. (
"All our employees are fully aligned and intensely contributing to support and implement our plan to secure WABCO's success. Thanks to their commitment, even in a commercial vehicle industry that has severely deteriorated for four consecutive quarters, our Q3 2009 results demonstrate WABCO's powerful ability to still achieve a positive operating result and continue to generate a strongly positive free cash flow," said Jacques Esculier, WABCO Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Over a year ago, we anticipated market declines and quickly acted to mitigate the global production slump for trucks, buses and trailers. Today, we have successfully resized our organization for a significantly reduced level of market demand without sacrificing our commitment to our strategy of technology leadership, global expansion and excellence in execution."
"In Q3 2009, we continued to increase our revenues from emerging markets, particularly from Asia, as a result of the past five years of persistent focus on WABCO's global expansion. As of this quarter, two of our five largest customers are based in Asia. In the same period a year ago, our top five customers were all in Europe," said Esculier.
WABCO reported a Q3 2009 gross profit margin of 22.7 percent versus 26.7 percent a year ago. Excluding separation and streamlining costs, performance gross profit margin was 25.7 percent versus 27.0 percent a year ago.
WABCO reported Q3 2009 Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT) of $34.3 million, down from $65.9 million of income a year ago. Performance EBIT was $16.4 million, down from $74.8 million of income a year ago.
In Q3 2009, WABCO settled certain indemnification obligations associated with the separation from the former American Standard Companies Inc., resulting in a release of $41.3 million of existing reserves. WABCO recorded $18.6 million of streamlining expenses and $4.8 million of separation and other items in Q3 2009. The positive net impact of all these items on Q3 2009 reported EBIT was $17.9 million.
"In Q3 2009, our WABCO Operating System delivered $15.8 million of materials and conversion productivity, with materials productivity representing a record 7.2 percent of total materials cost amid continued severe conditions for sourcing. We also achieved cost savings of $20.9 million in operating expenses during Q3 2009, resulting in a reduction of approximately 20 percent year on year," said Esculier.
On a U.S. GAAP basis, Q3 2009 reported a net income of $33.8 million or $0.52 per diluted share versus net income of $63.7 million or $0.97 per diluted share a year ago. Excluding separation and streamlining items, one-time and other tax items, and an adjustment to the one-time impact from the Indian joint venture transactions, Q3 2009 resulted in a performance net income of $12.5 million or $0.19 per diluted share versus performance net income of $61.3 million or $0.94 per diluted share a year ago.
WABCO generated $31.4 million in net cash from operating activities in Q3 2009 and $19.7 million of free cash flow. Excluding payments of $10.5 million associated with streamlining, free cash flow in Q3 2009 totaled $30.2 million.
"Amid deeply depressed market conditions throughout 2009, WABCO maintains profitability year-to-date on a performance basis, even after losing 52 percent of sales so far this year," said Esculier. "In the first nine months of 2009, WABCO generated cumulative free cash flow of $86.5 million, after paying $30.1 million for streamlining. This outstanding performance shows our ability to anticipate market changes, upgrade our efforts and adapt efficiently on a continuous basis."
"As of Q3 2009, we have reset the size of our company for a global market with a lot less volume and we have accomplished this realignment without compromising our strategy. This quarter marks further achievements in technology, globalization and execution," said Esculier.

Full Year 2009 Operating Framework
WABCO improves its previously disclosed operating framework for 2009 to include an estimated decline in 2009 sales of 37 to 39 percent in local currencies, resulting in a full year reported operating margin of negative 1.9 percent or higher, including streamlining and separation items, and an operating margin of 2.0 percent or higher on a performance basis. WABCO also expects that the company will generate more than $90 million in free cash flow for 2009, which excludes approximately $50 million of streamlining and separation items.
"WABCO continues to anticipate and mitigate adverse market conditions through orderly cost reduction measures, systematic productivity initiatives and further applications of lean manufacturing, among other accomplishments that our people have honed over the years in our globally connected culture of operational excellence," said Esculier. "We continue to perform on our three strategic pillars of technology leadership, global expansion and excellence in execution.

Forward-Looking Statements
Comments in this document contain certain forward-looking statements, which are based on management's good faith expectations and beliefs concerning future developments. Actual results may differ materially from these expectations as a result of many factors. These factors include, but are not limited to, the risks and uncertainties described in the "Risk Factors" section and the "Forward Looking Statements" section of WABCO's Form 10-K, as well as in the "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Information Concerning Forward Looking Statements" section of WABCO's Form 10-Q Quarterly Reports.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To facilitate the understanding of Q3 2009 results, several tables follow this news release. EBIT and sales excluding the effects of foreign exchange are non-GAAP financial measures. Additionally, operating income, operating income margin, EBIT, net income and net income per diluted share on a "performance basis" are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude separation and streamlining items, one-time impact from the Indian joint venture transactions, and discrete and other one-time tax items, as applicable. Lastly, free cash flow presents our net cash provided by operating activities less net cash used for purchases of property, plant, equipment, and computer software. These measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, GAAP measures. Management believes that presenting these non-GAAP measures is useful to shareholders because it enhances their understanding of how management assesses the operating performance of the company's business. Certain non-GAAP measures may be used, in part, to determine incentive compensation for current employees.
