PART I
ITEM 1. 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 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 Mexico, Brazil and other 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 provision 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 1998, 1997 and 1996 is summarized in Note 13
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:

Source: Monthly data derived from materials produced by the American
Automobile Manufacturers Associations in the United States and Canada, and other
sources.
The company's first full year of operations in Mexico was 1997. Industry
retail deliveries of Class 5, 6 and 7 medium trucks and school buses in the
Mexican market were 11,400 units and 9,600 units in 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Industry retail deliveries of Class 8 heavy trucks were 10,900 units and 6,000
units over the same two-year period based on monthly data provided by the
Associacion Nacional de Productores de Autobuses, Camiones y Tractocamiones.
PAGE 4
The Class 5 through 8 truck markets in the United States, Canada, Mexico
and Brazil are highly competitive. Major U.S. domestic competitors include
PACCAR, Ford and General Motors, as well as foreign-controlled domestic
manufacturers, such as Freightliner, Sterling, Mack and Volvo. 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.
TRUCK MARKET SHARE
The company delivered 112,800 Class 5 through 8 trucks, including school
buses, in the United States and Canada in fiscal 1998, a 13% increase from the
99,500 units delivered in 1997. Navistar's combined share of the Class 5 through
8 truck market was 28.9% in 1998 and 28.6% in 1997. Navistar 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 18 fiscal years based on
data obtained from the American Automobile Manufacturers Association, the
Canadian Motor Vehicle Manufacturers Association and R.L. Polk & Company.
The company delivered 4,100 Class 5 through 8 trucks, including school buses, in
Mexico in 1998, a 141% increase from the 1,700 units delivered in 1997.
Navistar's combined share of the Class 5 through 8 truck market in Mexico was
18.3% in 1998 and 10.9% in 1997.

==== ==== ====
The company manufactures a full line of products in the common carrier,
private carrier, government/service, leasing, construction, energy/petroleum and
student transportation markets. The company offers diesel-powered trucks and
school buses because of their improved fuel economy, ease of serviceability and
greater durability over gasoline-powered vehicles. Navistar'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 Navistar. Based upon information published by R.L. Polk
& Company, diesel-powered Class 5, 6 and 7 medium truck and bus shipments
represented 87.6% of all medium shipments for fiscal year 1998 in the United
States and Canada.
PAGE 5
The company's truck and bus manufacturing operations in the United States,
Canada and Mexico consist principally of the assembly of components manufactured
by its suppliers, although the company produces its own mid-range diesel truck
engines, sheet metal components (including cabs) and miscellaneous other parts.
The company currently estimates approximately $515 million in capital spending
and $330 million in development expense through 2003 for development of its next
generation vehicles.
ENGINE AND FOUNDRY
The company designs and manufactures diesel engines for use in its Class
5, 6 and 7 medium trucks and school buses and selected Class 8 heavy truck
models, and for sale to original equipment manufacturers (OEM's) in the United
States and Canada. The company also sells engines for industrial, agricultural
and marine applications. Navistar 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.
Navistar 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 Ford's diesel-powered light trucks and vans. Sales to Ford
currently account for approximately 88% of the company's 7.3L sales. The
company's shipments of engines to all OEM's totaled 214,000 units in 1998, an
increase of 16% from the 184,000 units shipped in 1997. During 1997, Navistar
entered into a ten-year agreement, effective with model year 2003, to supply
Ford with a successor engine to the current 7.3L product for use in its
diesel-powered super duty trucks and vans (over 8,500 lbs. GVW). In March 1998,
the company was selected by Ford to negotiate an extended agreement to supply
diesel engines to Ford for certain under 8,500 lbs. GVW light duty trucks and
sport utility vehicles, such as the Ford Expedition, F-150 and F-250 pick-ups
and Econoline 150 and 250 van models.
The company has approved a plan for up to $600 million in capital spending
over the next five years in order to manufacture a next generation version of
diesel engines. In addition, approximately $110 million of development expense
was approved for the development of these engines.
SERVICE PARTS
In the United States and Canada, the company operates seven regional parts
distribution centers, which allow 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.
Navistar'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 the company. The company'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 duty 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 replacement parts that
will be purchased from Navistar 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.
PAGE 6
MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION
Navistar's truck products are distributed in virtually all key markets in
the United States and Canada. The company's truck distribution and service
network in these countries was composed of 945, 954 and 957 dealers and retail
outlets at October 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Included in these
totals were 524, 514 and 504 secondary and associate locations at October 31,
1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The company also has a dealer network in
Mexico composed of 44, 38 and 23 dealer locations at October 31, 1998, 1997 and
1996, respectively, and a dealer network in Brazil composed of six dealer
locations at October 31, 1998.
Retail dealer activity is supported by five regional operations in the
United States and general offices in Canada, Mexico and Brazil. The company has
a national account sales group, responsible for 94 major U.S. national account
customers. Navistar'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.
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 1998 and 1997, NFC provided wholesale financing for 95% and 94%,
respectively, of the new truck units sold by Transportation to its dealers and
distributors in the United States, and retail and lease financing for 16% and
13%, 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.
Navistar's wholly owned subsidiaries, Arrendadora Financiera Navistar and
Servicios Financiera Navistar, provide wholesale and lease financing to the
company's dealers and customers in Mexico.
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
Navistar International Corporation Canada 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 $138 million, $85 million and $90 million for
1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
PAGE 7
BACKLOG
The backlog of unfilled truck orders (subject to cancellation or return in
certain events) at October 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, was $4,505 million, $2,360
million and $1,254 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 17,558, 16,168 and 14,187 individuals at October 31,
1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively, worldwide.
LABOR RELATIONS
At October 31, 1998, the United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural
Implement Workers of America (UAW) represented 9,017 of the company's active
employees in the United States, and the National Automobile, Aerospace, and
Agricultural Implement Workers of Canada (CAW) represented 2,339 of the
company's active employees in Canada. Other unions represented 848 of the
company's active employees in the United States and 147 of the company's active
employees in Mexico. 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
Navistar continuously obtains patents on its inventions and, thus, owns a
significant patent portfolio. Additionally, many of the components which the
company purchases for its products are protected by patents that are owned or
controlled by the component manufacturer. Navistar has licenses under
third-party patents relating to its products and their manufacture, and Navistar
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 the company to be essential to its business as a whole.
Like all businesses which offer well-known products or services,
Navistar'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, Navistar 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
The company 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 the company's
requirements for raw materials and supplies is filled by single-source
suppliers.
PAGE 8
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. The company's
exposure in Mexico and Brazil to an interruption in local supply could result in
an inability to meet local content requirements.
At current demand levels, the entire truck industry is operating at or
near capacity. Accordingly, constraints have been placed on the company's
ability to meet certain customers' demands because of component parts
availability. Suppliers have initiated investments to expand capacity to support
demand growth. Although some of this additional capacity will become available
in 1999, much of the expansion will require several years. In those commodities
where domestic supply is constrained, the company is searching globally for
alternative sources.
IMPACT OF GOVERNMENT REGULATION
Truck and engine manufacturers continue to face heavy 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,
development and tooling costs to design its engine product lines to meet United
States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) and California Air Resources
Board (CARB) emission standards that will come into effect after the turn of the
century. The company intends to provide engines that satisfy CARB's emission
standards effective in 2002 for engines used in vehicles from 8,501 to 14,000
pounds GVW, as well as heavy-duty engines that comply with more stringent CARB
and U.S. EPA emission standards, promulgated in 1997, for 2004 and later model
years.
In October 1998, Navistar, along with other heavy-duty diesel engine
manufacturers, entered into a Consent Decree with the U.S. EPA and a Settlement
Agreement with CARB concerning alleged emissions from heavy-duty diesel engines
which utilized strategies to improve fuel economy and may have affected nitrogen
oxide emissions. The company's settlement with the U.S. EPA and CARB requires a
payment of $3 million and changes to new engine configurations which are to be
produced after October 2002. Navistar has received unconditional EPA approval
for its 1999 model engines. Therefore, current engine configurations, which are
primarily used in the company's medium trucks and other light and medium duty
vehicles, will not be affected by this settlement. Navistar believes that
neither the settlement nor the potential changes will have a material effect on
the company's financial position or operating results.
PAGE 9
Canadian and Mexican heavy-duty engine emissions regulations essentially
mirror those of the U.S. EPA, except that compliance in Mexico is conditioned on
availability of low-sulfur diesel fuel. The company's engines comply with
Canadian and Mexican emissions regulations, as well as those of Brazil, where
the company began assembling trucks in 1998.
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 OEM's 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 the company'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, the
company 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 North America, the company owns and operates ten manufacturing and
assembly operations, which contain approximately ten million square feet of
floor space. Six facilities manufacture and assemble trucks, two plants
manufacture diesel engines and two locations produce gray iron castings. In
addition, the company 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. The company's
truck assembly facility located in Escobedo, Mexico is encumbered by a lien in
favor of certain lenders of the company as collateral for a $125 million
revolving loan agreement.
Navistar'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 the company's plants are being utilized and have been adequately
maintained, 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 the company'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.
