Exhibit 99.1
Tenneco Reports First Quarter Financial Results
LAKE FOREST, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 30, 2009--Tenneco Inc. (NYSE:TEN):
- Global OE production declines and stronger U.S. dollar impacted revenue and EBIT results
- Focus on working capital improvements reflected in solid cash flow performance
- Cost reduction and cash generation actions helped offset negative production environment
- Gross margin sequential improvement over 4Q 2008; strongest gross margin performance since 2Q 2008
Tenneco Inc. (NYSE:TEN) reported a first quarter net loss of $49 million, or $1.05 per diluted share, compared with net income of $6 million, or 13-cents per diluted share in first quarter 2008. Adjusted for the items below, the net loss was $29 million, or 61-cents per diluted share, compared with adjusted net income of $10 million, or 20-cents per diluted share a year ago. The tables in this press release reconcile GAAP results to non-GAAP results.
EBIT (earnings before interest, taxes and noncontrolling interests) was a loss of $13 million, versus EBIT of $39 million the previous year. Adjusted EBIT was a loss of $10 million, versus adjusted EBIT of $43 million a year ago. EBIT was negatively impacted by significantly lower OE production volumes worldwide and manufacturing fixed cost absorption related to those volume declines, which together reduced EBIT by $100 million in the quarter. EBIT was also negatively impacted by $13 million related to unfavorable currency exchange rates compared to a year ago.
The company partially offset the negative EBIT drivers with lower SGA&E spending, execution on restructuring actions, manufacturing efficiency improvements and customer recoveries.
EBITDA including noncontrolling interests (EBIT before depreciation and amortization) was $39 million compared with EBITDA of $94 million in first quarter 2008. Adjusted EBITDA including noncontrolling interests was $41 million, versus $98 million the prior year.
“This was a very challenging quarter as production volumes continued to decline to extremely low levels with no region of the world unaffected,” said Gregg Sherrill, chairman and CEO, Tenneco. “However, restructuring actions and our employees’ concerted efforts to aggressively reduce costs and generate cash were instrumental in helping to offset the impact of this severe industry downturn.”

First quarter 2009 adjustments:
- Restructuring and restructuring related expenses of $3 million pre-tax, or 5-cents per diluted share;
- Non-cash tax charges of $18 million, or 39-cents per diluted share, primarily related to the impact of not benefiting tax losses in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions.
First quarter 2008 adjustments:
- Restructuring and restructuring related expenses of $4 million pre-tax, or 6-cents per diluted share;
- Non-cash tax adjustments of $1 million, or 1-cent per diluted share, mostly for changes in the company’s estimates for tax matters subject to audit.
First quarter revenue was $967 million, down 38% from $1.560 billion a year ago. The impact of unfavorable currency in the quarter was $175 million. Excluding the currency impact and substrate sales, revenue was $928 million, down 18% from $1.139 billion in first quarter 2008. The decline was due to lower year-over-year OE production volumes in every region.
Tenneco’s cash performance was solid in spite of a production climate that reduced EBITDA including noncontrolling interests by $55 million compared to a year ago, and despite a $45 million year-over-year reduction in cash flow from the sale of receivables. The company used $81 million in cash from operations in the quarter, compared with a use of $64 million in first quarter 2008. Inventory reductions and accounts receivable were the strongest drivers. Cash flow from accounts receivable improved year-over-year by $33 million. Additionally, a tight focus on controlling inventories generated a $77 million year-over-year improvement in cash flow this quarter. Cash flow from inventories was $34 million versus a use of $43 million in cash a year ago.
Tenneco’s efforts to conserve cash while continuing to invest in technology, capabilities and assets for future growth resulted in capital spending in the quarter of $25 million, a 52% decrease from $52 million in first quarter 2008.
“We are very pleased with our cash performance given the headwinds we faced this quarter,” said Sherrill. “We are executing on our cost reduction and cash management plans and managing liquidity through working capital improvements, significantly reducing capital expenditures and eliminating discretionary spending.”
At March 31, 2009, the company’s leverage ratio under its senior credit facility was 4.72, below the maximum level of 5.50. The interest coverage ratio was 2.91, above the minimum of 2.25. Tenneco amended its senior secured credit facility in the quarter in response to difficult industry conditions globally. The amended facility adjusts the debt covenant ratios through 2011. At the end of the quarter, Tenneco had an EBITDA cushion of $45 million and a debt cushion of $248 million against its tightest covenant.
At quarter-end, total debt was $1.587 billion, versus $1.463 billion the prior year. Cash balances were $113 million versus $161 million a year ago. Debt net of cash balances was $1.474 billion, compared with $1.302 billion at the end of first quarter 2008. Tenneco completed the quarter with $270 million in unused borrowing capacity under its $680 million revolving credit facility. At December 31, 2008, total debt was $1.451 billion; cash balances were $126 million and debt net of cash balances was $1.325 billion.
Gross margin as a percent of sales in the quarter was 14.5%, compared with 15.0% a year ago. The company minimized the negative impact from lower production volumes, manufacturing fixed cost absorption and unfavorable currency with cost reduction actions, customer recoveries and manufacturing efficiencies. Gross margin in the quarter included $2 million in restructuring costs and first quarter 2008 gross margin included $3 million in restructuring costs. In addition, this quarter’s gross margin performance was a sequential improvement over fourth quarter 2008 – despite 20% lower sales - and represents the strongest gross margin performance since second quarter 2008, reflecting the effectiveness of the company’s restructuring and operational cost reduction actions globally.
Tenneco’s aggressive cost reduction efforts – including restructuring, employee furloughs and customer engineering cost recoveries - lowered SGA&E (sales, general, administrative and engineering) expense in the quarter to $99 million from $141 million a year ago. SGA&E as a percent of sales increased to 10.2% from 9.0% due to lower year-over-year revenues.
NORTH AMERICA
- OE revenue was $333 million, down 39% year-over-year from $550 million, driven by lower OE production volumes. Excluding currency and substrate sales, revenue declined 32% to $225 million from $333 million. Industry light vehicle production was down 51%. Industry Class 8 commercial vehicle production was down 42% and industry Class 5-7 commercial vehicle production was down 47% from a year ago.
- Aftermarket revenue was $136 million, an increase from $133 million a year ago. Excluding the impact of negative currency, revenue was $139 million.
- EBIT for North America operations was $4 million, versus $9 million a year ago.
- First quarter 2009 EBIT included $2 million in restructuring and restructuring related expenses and first quarter 2008 included $1 million in restructuring and restructuring related expenses.
- The benefits to EBIT from lower SGA&E spending, restructuring savings, improved aftermarket pricing, new platform launches and customer recoveries partially offset lower OE production volumes and related manufacturing fixed cost absorption, which together had the most significant negative impact on EBIT. To a lesser extent, EBIT was also impacted by unfavorable currency.
EUROPE, SOUTH AMERICA AND INDIA
- Europe OE revenue was $278 million, a 50% decline from $555 million a year ago, due to significantly lower OE production volumes. Excluding the impact of currency and substrate sales, revenue was down 19% to $323 million from $400 million. Industry light vehicle production fell 48% year-over-year.
- Europe aftermarket revenue was $60 million, a 31% decline from $87 million a year ago, driven by sales declines in both product lines and the negative impact of currency. Excluding currency, revenue declined 13% to $75 million from $87 million a year ago.
- South America and India revenue was $68 million, a 29% decrease from $94 million in first quarter 2008, primarily driven by the impact of currency and substrate sales. Excluding currency and substrate sales, revenue was $80 million, even with a year ago. Lower production volumes in Brazil and Argentina were offset by improved pricing.
- EBIT for Europe, South America and India was a loss of $17 million, compared with earnings of $25 million in first quarter 2008. Adjusted for the items below, EBIT was a loss of $16 million, versus earnings of $28 million a year ago.
- First quarter 2009 EBIT included $1 million in restructuring and restructuring related expenses. First quarter 2008 EBIT included $3 million in restructuring and restructuring related expenses.
- The benefits to EBIT from reduced SGA&E spending, restructuring savings, improved aftermarket pricing and new OE platform launches were more than offset by significantly lower OE production volumes and related manufacturing fixed cost absorption, which together had the greatest negative impact on EBIT. EBIT was also negatively impacted by unfavorable currency in the quarter.
ASIA PACIFIC
- Asia revenue was $67 million, a 25% decline from $90 million a year ago, driven by a decline in China OE production volumes on key platforms. Excluding substrates sales and currency, revenue was $48 million, down 22% from $62 million in first quarter 2008.
- Australia revenue was $25 million, a 52% decline from $51 million the prior year. Excluding unfavorable currency and substrate sales, revenue was $38 million, down 15% from $44 million. The decline was driven by sharply falling industry production volumes in the quarter, which were down 38% year-over-year as customers adjusted production to declining sales.
- Asia Pacific EBIT was breakeven, compared with earnings of $5 million a year ago, driven by lower production volumes in China and Australia and related manufacturing fixed cost absorption, partially offset by cost reductions and improved efficiency.
OUTLOOK
Tenneco reiterated that cash generation and strict cost management remain its top near-term priorities in response to the global economic crisis. In addition to the cash and cost containment actions announced during the second half of 2008 and earlier this year, Tenneco also initiated plans globally to temporarily lower its salary costs for salaried employees by at least 10%, beginning April 1, 2009 to help counter the ongoing impact of low production volumes. These plans are being tailored to each of its markets and include salary cuts and work hour reduction programs. Executives at the most senior levels have taken larger salary reductions.
“As an organization, we are committed to taking the actions necessary to withstand this crisis and keep the company positioned and prepared to capitalize on an eventual recovery,” Sherrill said. “Despite current conditions, we continue to make targeted investments in technologies and the capabilities required to support upcoming customer launches, including regulatory driven emission control business for light and commercial vehicles that begin production as early as the end of 2009.”

(2) EBITDA including noncontrolling interests represents income before interest expense, income taxes, noncontrolling interests and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA including noncontrolling interests is not a calculation based upon generally accepted accounting principles. The amounts included in the EBITDA including noncontrolling interests calculation, however, are derived from amounts included in the historical statements of income data. In addition, EBITDA including noncontrolling interests should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) attributable to Tenneco Inc. or operating income as an indicator of the company's operating performance, or as an alternative to operating cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Tenneco has presented EBITDA including noncontrolling interests because it regularly reviews EBITDA including noncontrolling interests as a measure of the company's performance. In addition, Tenneco believes its investors utilize and analyze our EBITDA including noncontrolling interests for similar purposes. Tenneco also believes EBITDA including noncontrolling interests assists investors in comparing a company's performance on a consistent basis without regard to depreciation and amortization, which can vary significantly depending upon many factors. However, the EBITDA including noncontrolling interests measure presented may not always be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies due to differences in the components of the calculation. |

(2) Tenneco presents the above reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP earnings measures primarily to reflect the results for the first quarters of 2009 and 2008 in a manner that allows a better understanding of the results of operational activities separate from the financial impact of decisions made for the long-term benefit of the company. Adjustments similar to the ones reflected above have been recorded in earlier periods, and similar types of adjustments can reasonably be expected to be recorded in future periods. Using only the non-GAAP earnings measures to analyze earnings would have material limitations because its calculation is based on the subjective determinations of management regarding the nature and classification of events and circumstances that investors may find material. Management compensates for these limitations by utilizing both GAAP and non-GAAP earnings measures reflected above to understand and analyze the results of the business. The company believes investors find the non-GAAP information helpful in understanding the ongoing performance of operations separate from items that may have a disproportionate positive or negative impact on the company's financial results in any particular period. |

| (1) Tenneco presents the above reconciliation of revenues in order to reflect the trend in the company's sales, in various product lines and geographical regions, separately from the effects of doing business in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Additionally, substrate sales which the company previously referred to as pass-through sales include precious metals pricing, which may be volatile. Substrate sales occur when, at the direction of its OE customers, Tenneco purchases catalytic converters or components thereof from suppliers, uses them in its manufacturing processes and sells them as part of the completed system. While Tenneco original equipment customers assume the risk of this volatility, it impacts reported revenue. Excluding substrate sales removes this impact. Tenneco uses this information to analyze the trend in revenues before these factors. Tenneco believes investors find this information useful in understanding period to period comparisons in the company's revenues. |
