BUSINESS Navistar International Corporation is a holding company and its principal operating subsidiary is Navistar International Transportation Corp. referred to as "Transportation". As used hereafter, "Navistar" or "company" refers to Navistar International Corporation and its subsidiaries. Navistar, through its wholly owned subsidiary Transportation, operates in two principal industry segments: manufacturing and financial services. Manufacturing operations are responsible for the manufacture and marketing of medium and heavy trucks, including school buses, mid-range diesel engines and service parts primarily in the United States and Canada as well as in selected export markets. Based on assets and revenues, manufacturing operations represent the majority of the company's business activities. The financial services operations consist of Navistar Financial Corporation (NFC), its domestic insurance subsidiary and the company's foreign finance and insurance subsidiaries. NFC's primary business is the retail and wholesale financing of products sold by the manufacturing operations and its dealers within the United States and the providing of commercial physical damage and liability insurance to the manufacturing operations' dealers and retail customers and to the general public through an independent insurance agency system. Industry segment data for 1997, 1996, and 1995 is summarized in Note 14 to the Financial Statements, which is incorporated herein by reference. THE MEDIUM AND HEAVY TRUCK INDUSTRY The market in which Navistar competes is subject to considerable volatility as it moves in response to cycles in the overall business environment and is particularly sensitive to the industrial sector which generates a significant portion of the freight tonnage hauled. Government regulation has impacted and will continue to impact trucking operations and efficiency and the specifications of equipment. The following table shows industry retail deliveries in the combined United States and Canadian markets for the five years ended October 31, in thousands of units: YEARS ENDED OCTOBER 31, --------------------------- 1997 1996 1995 1994 1993 ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- Class 5, 6 and 7 medium trucks and school buses ................... 150.6 145.8 151.8 134.2 122.5 Class 8 heavy trucks ............. 196.8 195.4 228.8 205.4 166.4 ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- Total .......................... 347.4 341.2 380.6 339.6 288.9 ===== ===== ====== ===== ===== Source: Monthly data provided by the American Automobile Manufacturers Associations (AAMA) in the United States and Canada, and other sources. <PAGE 4> The Class 5 through 8 truck market in the United States and Canada is highly competitive. Major domestic competitors include PACCAR, Ford and General Motors, as well as foreign-controlled manufacturers, such as Freightliner, Mack and Volvo GM. In addition, manufacturers from Japan (Hino, Isuzu, Nissan and Mitsubishi) are competing in the United States and Canadian markets. The intensity of this competition results in price discounting and margin pressures throughout the industry. In addition to the influence of price, market position is driven by product quality, engineering, styling, utility and distribution. TRANSPORTATION MARKET SHARE Transportation delivered 99,500 Class 5 through 8 trucks, including school buses, in the United States and Canada in fiscal 1997, a 6% increase from the 94,000 units delivered in 1996. Navistar's combined share of the Class 5 through 8 truck market was 28.6% in 1997 and 27.5% in 1996. Transportation has been the leader in combined market share for Class 5 through 8 trucks, including school buses, in the United States and Canada in each of its last 17 fiscal years based on data obtained from the American Automobile Manufacturers Association, the United States Motor Vehicle Manufacturers Association and R.L. Polk & Company. PRODUCTS The following table illustrates the percentage of the company's manufacturing sales by class of product based on dollar amount: YEARS ENDED OCTOBER 31, --------------------------- PRODUCT CLASS 1997 1996 1995 - ------------- ----- ----- ----- Class 5, 6 and 7 medium trucks and school buses ................... 34% 35% 32% Class 8 heavy trucks ............. 37 35 42 Service parts .................... 13 14 12 Engines .......................... 16 16 14 --- --- --- Total .......................... 100% 100% 100% === === === Transportation manufactures a full line of products in the common carrier, private carrier, government/service, leasing, construction, energy/petroleum and student transportation markets. Transportation offers diesel-powered trucks and buses because of their improved fuel economy, ease of serviceability and greater durability over gasoline- powered vehicles. Transportation's Class 8 heavy trucks generally use diesel engines purchased from outside suppliers while Class 5, 6 and 7 medium trucks are powered by a proprietary line of mid-range diesel engines manufactured by Transportation. Based upon information published by R.L. Polk & Company, diesel-powered Class 5, 6 and 7 medium truck shipments represented 87% of all medium truck shipments for fiscal year 1997 in the United States and Canada. Transportation's truck and bus manufacturing operations in the United States and Canada consist principally of the assembly of components manufactured by its suppliers, although Transportation produces its own mid-range diesel truck engines, sheet metal components (including cabs) and miscellaneous other parts. During 1997, the company announced plans for approximately $350 million in capital spending and $300 million in development expense over the next six years for development of the next generation truck. <PAGE 5> ENGINE AND FOUNDRY Transportation builds diesel engines for use in its Class 5, 6 and 7 medium trucks, school buses, selected Class 8 heavy truck models and for sale to original equipment manufacturers in the United States and Canada. Transportation also sells engines for industrial, agricultural and marine applications. Transportation is the leading supplier of mid- range diesel engines in the 160-300 horsepower range according to data supplied by Power Systems Research of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Transportation has an agreement to supply its 7.3 liter (7.3L) electronically controlled diesel engine to Ford Motor Company (Ford) through the year 2002 for use in all of its diesel-powered light trucks and vans. Sales of this engine to Ford currently account for approximately 87% of Transportation's 7.3L sales. Shipments of engines to all original equipment manufacturers totaled a record 184,000 units in 1997, an increase of 13% from the 163,200 units shipped in 1996. During 1997, Transportation entered into a ten-year agreement, effective with model year 2003, to supply Ford with a 7.3L replacement product for use in its diesel-powered light trucks and vans. SERVICE PARTS In the United States and Canada, Transportation operates 7 regional parts distribution centers, which allows it to offer 24-hour availability and same day shipment of the parts most frequently requested by customers. The company also operates a parts distribution center in Mexico. Transportation's service parts program is vital to the maintenance of the relationship with its customers and dealers. The sale of replacement parts does not represent a separate and distinct business of Transportation. Transportation's truck group makes decisions about the pricing of trucks and replacement parts based upon a variety of factors which integrally link the pricing and sale of replacement parts with the sale of medium and heavy trucks, including school buses. The acceptable price for dealers and fleet truck sales is determined by not only looking at the market price of the individual trucks themselves, but also by analyzing the amount of future replacements parts that will be purchased from Transportation over the truck's life cycle and the total expected profit contribution, including future replacement parts, expected to be realized on each sale. Accordingly, the pricing of trucks and replacement parts is not independently determined. MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION Transportation's truck products are distributed in virtually all key markets in the United States and Canada. Transportation's truck distribution and service network in these countries was composed of 954, 957 and 958 dealers and retail outlets at October 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Included in these totals were 514, 504 and 490 secondary and associate locations at October 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The company also has a dealer network in Mexico composed of 38 and 23 dealer locations at October 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Retail dealer activity is supported by 5 regional operations in the United States and general offices in Canada and Mexico. Transportation has a national account sales group, responsible for 99 major national account customers. Transportation's network of 16 Used Truck Centers in the United States provides trade-in support to the company's dealers and national accounts group, and markets all makes and models of reconditioned used trucks to owner-operators and fleet buyers. Trucks, components and service parts are exported for wholesale and retail sale to more than 70 countries around the world. <PAGE 6> FINANCIAL SERVICES NFC is a financial services organization that provides wholesale, retail and lease financing of new and used trucks sold by Transportation and its dealers in the United States. NFC also finances wholesale accounts and selected retail accounts receivable of Transportation. Sales of new products (including trailers) of other manufacturers are also financed regardless of whether designed or customarily sold for use with Transportation's truck products. During 1997 and 1996, NFC provided wholesale financing for 94% of the new truck units sold by Transportation to its dealers and distributors in the United States and retail and lease financing for 13% and 16%, respectively, of all new truck units sold or leased by Transportation to retail customers. NFC's wholly owned domestic insurance subsidiary, Harco National Insurance Company, provides commercial physical damage and liability insurance coverage to Transportation's dealers and retail customers, and to the general public through an independent insurance agency system. Harbour Assurance Company of Bermuda Limited offers a variety of programs to the company, including general liability insurance, ocean cargo coverage for shipments to and from foreign distributors, and reinsurance coverage for various Transportation policies. IMPORTANT SUPPORTING OPERATIONS In the United States, Transportation has a third party sales financing agreement with Associates Commercial Corporation to provide wholesale financing to certain of its truck dealers and retail financing to their customers. Navistar International Corporation Canada also has an agreement with a subsidiary of General Electric Capital Canada, Inc. to provide financing for Canadian dealers and customers. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT Research and development activities, which are directed toward the introduction of new products and improvements of existing products and processes used in their manufacture, totaled $92 million, $101 million, and $91 million for 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. BACKLOG The backlog of unfilled truck orders (subject to cancellation or return in certain events) at October 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 was $2,360 million, $1,254 million and $2,581 million, respectively. Although the backlog of unfilled orders is one of many indicators of market demand, other factors such as changes in production rates, available capacity, new product introductions and competitive pricing actions may affect point-in-time comparisons. EMPLOYEES The company employed 16,168, 14,187 and 16,079 individuals at October 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. <PAGE 7> LABOR RELATIONS At October 31, 1997, the United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America (UAW) represented 8,079 of the company's active employees in the United States, and the Canadian Auto Workers (CAW) represented 2,142 of the company's active employees in Canada. Other unions represented 955 of the company's active employees in the United States and Canada. The company entered into a collective bargaining agreement with the UAW in 1995, which would have expired on October 1, 1998. During August 1997, the company's collective bargaining agreement with the UAW was extended through October 1, 2002. This contract allows the company to focus its assembly plants, simplify current product lines, invest in new product development, and achieve more competitive wage, benefit and productivity levels. In addition, the company entered into a collective bargaining agreement with the CAW in 1996, which expires on October 24, 1999. PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS Transportation continuously obtains patents on its inventions and, thus, owns a significant patent portfolio. Additionally, many of the components which Transportation purchases for its products are protected by patents that are owned or controlled by the component manufacturer. Transportation has licenses under third-party patents relating to its products and their manufacture, and Transportation grants licenses under its patents. The royalties paid or received under these licenses are not significant. No particular patent or group of patents is considered by Transportation to be essential to its business as a whole. Like all businesses which offer well-known products or services, Transportation's primary trademarks are an important part of its worldwide sales and marketing efforts, and provide instant identification of its products and services in the marketplace. To support these efforts, Transportation maintains, or has pending, registrations of its primary trademarks in those countries in which it does business or expects to do business. RAW MATERIALS AND ENERGY SUPPLIES Transportation purchases raw materials, parts and components from numerous outside suppliers but relies upon some suppliers for a substantial number of components for its truck and engine products. A majority of Transportation's requirements for raw materials and supplies is filled by single-source suppliers. The impact of an interruption in supply will vary by commodity. Some parts are generic to the industry while others are of a proprietary design requiring unique tooling which would require time to recreate. However, the company's exposure to a disruption in production as a result of an interruption of raw materials and supplies is no greater than the industry as a whole. In order to remedy any losses resulting from an interruption in supply, the company maintains contingent business interruption insurance for storms, fire and water damage. While the company believes that it has adequate assurances of continued supply, the inability of a supplier to deliver could have an adverse effect on production at certain of the company's manufacturing locations. <PAGE 8> IMPACT OF GOVERNMENT REGULATION Truck and engine manufacturers continue to face increasing governmental regulation of their products, especially in the areas of environment and safety. The company believes its products comply with all applicable environmental and safety regulations. As a diesel engine manufacturer, the company has incurred research and tooling costs to redesign its engine product lines to meet the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) and California Air Resources Board (CARB) emission standards effective for the 1998 model year. In addition to the 1998 standards, the company, along with other engine manufacturers, has signed a voluntary agreement (Statement of Principles) with U.S. EPA and CARB to achieve new reductions in ozone-causing exhaust emissions by 2004. In October 1997, as a result of the Statement of Principles, the U.S. EPA issued a final rule defining heavy-duty emission requirements for the 2004 model year. The company will also provide engines that satisfy 1998 Clean Fuel Fleet Vehicle requirements and must also satisfy California's emission standards in 2002 for engines used in medium-size vehicles (which includes vehicles up to 14,000 lbs. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating). The company expects that its diesel engines will be able to meet all of these standards within the required time frame. Effective with the 1998 model year, Canada's emission standards mirror those of the U.S. EPA and require the sale of low-sulfur diesel fuel effective October 1, 1997. Mexico has adopted the U.S. heavy diesel engine emission standards as of the 1994 model year but has conditioned compliance on the availability of low-sulfur diesel fuel. Truck manufacturers are also subject to various noise standards imposed by federal, state and local regulations. The engine is one of a truck's primary noise sources, and the company, therefore, works closely with original equipment manufacturers to develop strategies to reduce engine noise. The company is also subject to the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act (Safety Act) and Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (Safety Standards) promulgated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The company believes it is in compliance with the Safety Act and the Safety Standards. Expenditures to comply with various environmental regulations relating to the control of air, water and land pollution at production facilities and to control noise levels and emissions from Transportation's products have not been material except for two sites formerly owned by the company, Wisconsin Steel in Chicago, Illinois, and Solar Turbine in San Diego, California. In 1994, Transportation recorded a $20 million after-tax charge as a loss of discontinued operations for environmental liabilities and cleanup cost at these two sites. It is not expected that the costs of compliance with foreseeable environmental requirements will have a material effect on the company's financial position or operating results. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES In the United States and Canada, Transportation owns and operates eight manufacturing and assembly operations, which contain approximately nine million square feet of floor space. Four facilities manufacture and assemble trucks, two plants manufacture diesel engines and two locations produce gray iron castings. The company also manufactures trucks at a facility owned and operated through a joint venture in the U.S. and is constructing a truck assembly facility in Mexico. In addition, Transportation owns or leases other significant properties in the United States and Canada including vehicle and parts distribution centers, sales offices, an engineering center and its headquarters in Chicago. <PAGE 9> Transportation's principal research and engineering facilities are located in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and Melrose Park, Illinois. In addition, certain research is conducted at its manufacturing plants. All of Transportation's plants are being utilized and have been maintained adequately, are in good operating condition and are suitable for its current needs through productive utilization of the facilities. These facilities, together with planned capital expenditures, are expected to meet Transportation's manufacturing needs in the foreseeable future. A majority of the activity of the financial services operations is conducted from its leased headquarters in Rolling Meadows, Illinois. The financial services operations also lease six other office locations in the United States. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The company and its subsidiaries are subject to various claims arising in the ordinary course of business, and are parties to various legal proceedings which constitute ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business of the company and its subsidiaries. In the opinion of the company's management, none of these proceedings or claims are material to the business or the financial condition of the company. <PAGE 10> EXECUTIVE OFFICERS The following selected information for each of the company's current executive officers was prepared as of December 16, 1997.
