Revenue

Total revenue in the first quarter was $2.136 billion, up 6% year-over-year. Excluding a negative currency impact of $69 million, total first quarter revenue increased 9% to $2.205 billion. Tenneco’s total revenue excluding currency significantly outgrew global aggregate industry production growth of 1% in the quarter driven by light vehicle revenue growth of 11%, led by North America, Europe, China and India; commercial truck and off-highway revenue growth of 1%; and an 8% increase in global aftermarket revenue on higher sales in Europe, South America and North America.

“We are off to a strong start for the year with outstanding first quarter results including strong revenue growth, record-high earnings, and our twelfth consecutive quarter of margin improvement,” said Gregg Sherrill, chairman and CEO, Tenneco. “In addition to delivering on our growth plans, we drove higher earnings and improved margins with a disciplined approach to improving manufacturing efficiency and lowering our cost structure. This consistent quarterly performance demonstrates solid execution on our strategies for achieving profitable growth while continuing to plan and invest for the future.”

EBIT

First quarter EBIT (earnings before interest, taxes and noncontrolling interests) increased to $124 million, versus $120 million last year. Adjusted EBIT rose 10% to $138 million, a record high for the first quarter. Adjusted EBIT includes $12 million in negative currency. The record-high first quarter EBIT was driven by strong light vehicle volumes, commercial truck and off-highway clean air content growth, higher global aftermarket sales and operational cost improvements.

First quarter EBIT margin

In the first quarter 2016, Tenneco delivered its twelfth consecutive quarter of value-add adjusted EBIT margin improvement with higher margins in both product lines.

Q1 2016 Q1 2015
EBIT as a percent of revenue 5.8% 5.9%
EBIT as a percent of value-add revenue 7.6% 7.7%
Adjusted EBIT as a percent of revenue 6.5% 6.2%
Adjusted EBIT as a percent of value-add revenue 8.5% 8.0%

Clean Air adjusted EBIT as a percent of value-add revenue was up 110 basis points to 11%, driven by higher light vehicle volumes and new platform launches, as well as commercial truck and off-highway content growth and higher aftermarket revenue in North America. Ride Performance adjusted EBIT margin improved 100 basis points to 10.1%, driven by stronger light vehicle volumes in Europe, India and China and higher aftermarket sales in Europe, South America and North America. Both Clean Air and Ride Performance margins include the benefit of operational cost improvements.

Cash

Cash used by operations in the quarter was $29 million, a 42% improvement compared with a cash use of $50 million a year ago. The improvement was driven by higher earnings and strong working capital management.

During the quarter the company repurchased 360,000 shares of common stock for $16 million. Since January 1, 2015, the company has repurchased a total of 4.6 million shares of common stock for $229 million.

OUTLOOK

Second quarter 2016

Tenneco expects total revenue growth of 6% in the second quarter 2016 (excluding currency), outpacing estimated aggregate industry production growth of 4%* which includes an increase in light vehicle industry production of 4% and a 1% decline in combined commercial truck and off-highway industry production.

Based on current exchange rates, the company anticipates no significant currency headwinds in the second quarter.

Tenneco’s expected 6% revenue increase will be driven by stronger global light vehicle volumes including new launches and the ramp up on recently launched platforms, and a solid contribution from the global aftermarket. Commercial truck and off-highway revenue is expected to be roughly in line with industry production.

The company also expects continued margin improvement in the second quarter.

Revised Full Year Revenue Outlook

Tenneco is upwardly revising its revenue guidance for the full year. The company now expects to outgrow global industry production by 3 percentage points, resulting in annual revenue growth of 6 percent, excluding currency based on current aggregate industry production estimates.

“Given our first quarter results and based on what we see in the markets today, we expect to deliver full year revenue growth that exceeds industry production by 3%. Looking beyond this year, we see our growth accelerating in both 2017 and 2018 primarily due to new light vehicle emissions regulations beginning to take effect in North America and Europe,” said Sherrill. “We also expect continued margin improvement as we leverage higher volumes and execute on our operational improvement initiatives.”

*Aggregate Industry Production: IHS Automotive April 2016 global light vehicle production forecasts, Power Systems Research (PSR), April 2016 forecast for global commercial truck and buses and PSR off-highway engine production in North America and Europe and Tenneco estimates.

ANNUAL MEETING

The Tenneco Board of Directors has scheduled the corporation’s annual meeting of shareholders for Wednesday, May 18, 2016 at 10:00 a.m. CT. The meeting will be held at the corporate headquarters, 500 North Field Drive, Lake Forest, Illinois.

Tenneco is an $8.2 billion global manufacturing company with headquarters in Lake Forest, Illinois and approximately 30,000 employees worldwide. Tenneco is one of the world’s largest designers, manufacturers and marketers of clean air and ride performance products and systems for automotive and commercial vehicle original equipment markets and the aftermarket. Tenneco’s principal brand names are Monroe®, Walker®, XNOx™ and Clevite®Elastomers.

Revenue estimates in this release are based on OE manufacturers’ programs that have been formally awarded to the company; programs where Tenneco is highly confident that it will be awarded business based on informal customer indications consistent with past practices; and Tenneco’s status as supplier for the existing program and its relationship with the customer. These revenue estimates are also based on anticipated vehicle production levels and pricing, including precious metals pricing and the impact of material cost changes. For certain additional assumptions upon which these estimates are based, see the slides accompanying the April 26, 2016 webcast, which will be available on the financial section of the Tenneco website at www.tenneco.com.

(viii) the loss of any of our large original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) customers (on whom we depend for a substantial portion of our revenues), or the loss of market shares by these customers if we are unable to achieve increased sales to other OEMs or any change in customer demand due to delays in the adoption or enforcement of worldwide emissions regulations;

(ix) the company's continued success in cost reduction and cash management programs and its ability to execute restructuring and other cost reduction plans, including our current European cost reduction initiatives, and to realize anticipated benefits from these plans;

(x) economic, exchange rate and political conditions in the countries where we operate or sell our products;

(xi) workforce factors such as strikes or labor interruptions;

(xiv) the cyclical nature of the global vehicular industry, including the performance of the global aftermarket sector and longer product lives of automobile parts;

(xv) product warranty costs;

(xvi) the failure or breach of our information technology systems and the consequences that such failure or breach may have to our business;

(xviii) changes by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other accounting regulatory bodies to authoritative generally accepted accounting principles or policies;

(xix) changes in accounting estimates and assumptions, including changes based on additional information;

(xx) the impact of the extensive, increasing and changing laws and regulations to which we are subject, including environmental laws and regulations, which may result in our incurrence of environmental liabilities in excess of the amount reserved;

(xxi) natural disasters, acts of war and/or terrorism and the impact of these occurrences or acts on economic, financial, industrial and social condition, including, without limitation, with respect to supply chains and customer demand in the countries where the company operates; and

(xxii) the timing and occurrence (or non-occurrence) of transactions and events which may be subject to circumstances beyond the control of the company and its subsidiaries.

(1) Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
(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 the company's 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.

(1) Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
(2) Tenneco presents the above reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP earnings measures primarily to reflect the results 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 and other items impacting comparability between the periods. 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.
(3) 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 the company's 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.

(1) Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

(2) Tenneco presents the above reconciliation of revenues in order to reflect value-add revenues separately from the effects of doing business in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Additionally, substrate 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.

(1) Tenneco presents debt net of cash balances because management believes it is a useful measure of Tenneco's credit position and progress toward reducing leverage. The calculation is limited in that the company may not always be able to use cash to repay debt on a dollar-for-dollar basis.
(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 the company's 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.
(3) Adjusted EBITDA including noncontrolling interests is presented in order to reflect the results in a manner that allows a better understanding of operational activities separate from the financial impact of decisions made for the long term benefit of the company and other items impacting comparability between the periods. Similar adjustments to EBITDA including noncontrolling interests have been recorded in earlier periods, and similar types of adjustments can reasonably be expected to be recorded in future periods. 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.
(4) Tenneco presents the above reconciliation of the ratio of debt net of cash to LTM adjusted EBITDA including noncontrolling interests to show trends that investors may find useful in understanding the company's ability to service its debt. For purposes of this calculation, LTM adjusted EBITDA including noncontrolling interests is used as an indicator of the company's performance and debt net of cash is presented as an indicator of the company's credit position and progress toward reducing the company's financial leverage. This reconciliation is provided as supplemental information and not intended to replace the company's existing covenant ratios or any other financial measures that investors may find useful in describing the company's financial position. See notes (1), (2) and (3) for a description of the limitations of using debt net of cash, EBITDA including noncontrolling interests and adjusted EBITDA including noncontrolling interests.

(6) Charges related to Pension derisking and postretirement medical true-up.

(2) Tenneco presents the above reconciliation of revenues in order to reflect EBIT as a percent of both total revenues and value-add revenues. Substrate 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. Further, presenting EBIT as a percent of value-add revenue assists investors in evaluating the company's operational performance without the impact of such substrate sales.
