“Overall, we had a great year at Blue Bird. We successfully launched four, all-new powertrains while delivering solid growth in top-line revenue and Adjusted EBITDA,” said Phil Horlock, President and Chief Executive Officer of Blue Bird Corporation. “Our propane-powered bus offering continues to be the undisputed leader in alternative fuels with sales up 33% over the prior year. We shipped 406 new gasoline-powered Vision school buses in September, following an unexpected delay in CARB certification for the product. Overcoming this obstacle was a testament to our strong relationship with The Ford Motor Company and Roush CleanTech. With the broadest product range and engine choice in the industry, we are well-positioned for growth next year. Consequently, we are forecasting continued growth in fiscal 2017 with full year net revenue guidance of $980 million -1.0 billion, Adjusted EBITDA of $72-76 million and Adjusted Free Cash Flow of $38-42 million.”




Full-Year 2016 Results

Net Sales
Total net sales were $932.0 million for the fiscal year ended October 1, 2016, an increase of $12.9 million, or 1.4%, compared with the prior year. This was primarily driven by an increase in bus unit sales, which were 238 units higher than last year for the same period.

Gross Profit
Full-year gross profit was $129.4 million, an increase of $9.0 million from the prior year.

Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA was $72.2 million, or 7.7% of net sales, for the fiscal year ended October 1, 2016, an increase of $2.3 million, or 3.3%, compared with $69.9 million, or 7.6% of net sales, for the prior year. The increase in adjusted EBITDA is primarily the result of higher gross profit, partially offset by increased selling, general and administrative expenses (excluding one-time expenses associated with the business combination and special compensation payments).

Income from Continuing Operations
Income from continuing operations was $7.2 million for the fiscal year ended October 1, 2016, a decrease of $7.8 million compared with the prior year. This primarily reflects a decrease in operating profit of $9.2 million.

Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations was $30.1 million, representing an increase of $0.3 million compared with the prior year.


Fourth Quarter 2016 Results

Net Sales
Total net sales were $286.4 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, a decrease of $21.2 million, or 6.9%, from prior year period. Bus unit sales were 3,308 units for the quarter compared with 3,468 units for the same period last year.

Gross Profit
Fourth quarter gross profit of $38.7 million represents a decrease of $2.5 million over the fourth quarter of last year.


Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA was $24.3 million, or 8.5% of net sales, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, a decrease of $4.7 million, or 16.2%, compared with $29.0 million, or 9.4% of net sales, for the fourth quarter of the prior year. The decrease in adjusted EBITDA is primarily the result of lower volume.


Income from Continuing Operations

2


Income from continuing operations was $11.1 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, a decrease of $5.0 million compared with the same period last year. The decrease primarily reflects lower operating profit of $6.2 million.

Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations was $13.4 million, representing a decrease of $3.8 million compared with the same period last year.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release may include the following non-GAAP financial measures: “Adjusted EBITDA,” "Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations," "Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share," “Free Cash Flow” and “Adjusted Free Cash Flow.” Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income from continuing operations prior to interest income, interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation, amortization, and disposals, as adjusted to add back certain charges that we may record each year, such as stock-compensation expense and transaction costs, as these expenses are not considered an indicator of ongoing company performance. Adjusted net income is defined as net income, as adjusted to add back certain transaction costs not considered an indicator of ongoing company performance. Adjusted diluted earnings per share represents adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations divided by diluted weighted average common shares outstanding (as if we had GAAP net income during the respective period). Adjusted net income from continuing operations and adjusted diluted earnings per share are calculated net of taxes. Free cash flow represents net cash provided by continuing operations minus cash paid for fixed assets. Adjusted Free Cash flow represents free cash flow excluding cash paid for special compensation and other business combination expenses.

There are limitations to using non-GAAP measures. Although Blue Bird believes that such measures may enhance an evaluation of Blue Bird’s operating performance and cash flows, (i) other companies in Blue Bird’s industry may define such measures differently than Blue Bird does and, as a result, they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies in Blue Bird’s industry and (ii) such measures may exclude certain financial information that some may consider important in evaluating Blue Bird’s performance and cash flows.

(1) Numerator is adjusted income from continuing operations, non-GAAP.
(2) With adjusted income from continuing operations for the fiscal year ended 2016, 4,314,064 shares of convertible preferred stock were included in the weighted average dilutive shares outstanding, non-GAAP. The shares were excluded from the GAAP diluted earnings per share calculation since the if-converted impact would be anti-dilutive and, as a result, the numerator used in the GAAP calculation included the preferred stock dividend impact on income.
