“I am incredibly proud of the progress by our team in completing
our business turnaround, and the outcome of all the hard work is
evident in our financial results. The Blue Bird team has been
executing a rigorous plan for over 18 months to improve operations,
reduce fixed costs and recover economics through pricing," said
Phil Horlock, CEO of Blue Bird Corporation. "The market demand for
Blue Bird’s school buses remains very strong with nearly 5,200
units in our order backlog. Unit sales were 24% higher than a year
ago and we grew revenue by an exceptional 43% in the third quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA was over 3X last year’s third quarter – in summary,
a terrific quarter for Blue Bird, with an Adjusted EBITDA margin of
almost 10%.
"We expanded our leadership position in alternative-powered
school buses, particularly in zero-emission school buses where we
achieved outstanding growth in EV bookings, which were up nearly
150% from last year’s third quarter; additionally, we have more
than 550 electric school bus orders in our backlog. We have seen
steady growth in EV orders from the EPA’s 2022 Clean School Bus
Rebate Program, which awarded nearly $1 billion in funding from
Phase 1 of the program. This funding alone will generate orders for
at least 550 Blue Bird buses. In addition, we are excited to see
further progress with the announcement of Phase 2 of the program,
offering a $400M competitive grant program for electric school
buses. Exciting growth ahead for Blue Bird on the EV front!
"Based on our substantial progress, we increased our full year
financial guidance again and look forward to sustained profitable
growth, particularly as the global supply chain recovery
progresses.”
FY2023 Guidance Increased
"We are very excited with the FY2023-Q3 results, with Revenues
coming in at the top end of our guidance and Adjusted EBITDA above
guidance” said Razvan Radulescu, CFO of Blue Bird Corporation. “Our
turnaround is completed and we have returned to historical
profitability, and expect further increased performance for fiscal
Q4, as shown in the forecast shared during the earnings call. We
are raising full year fiscal 2023 guidance to Net Revenue of just
over $1.1 Billion, Adj. EBITDA of $70-76 million and Adj. Free Cash
Flow of $70-80 million. Additionally, we are reconfirming our
long-term outlook of profitable growth towards $2 billion in
revenues and Adjusted EBITDA margins of 12%, or $250 million.”
Fiscal 2023 Third Quarter Results
Net Sales
Net sales were $294.3 million for the third quarter of fiscal
2023, an increase of $88.2 million, or 42.8%, from prior year
period. Bus sales increased $83.7 million, reflecting a 17.0%
increase in average sales price per unit, resulting from pricing
actions taken by management as well as product and customer mix
change, and a 23.8% increase in units booked. In the third quarter
of fiscal 2023, 2,137 units were booked compared to 1,726 units
booked for the same period in fiscal 2022. The increase in units
sold was primarily due to constraints in the Company's ability to
produce and deliver buses due to shortages of critical components
in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. Additionally, Parts sales
increased $4.6 million, or 23.4%, for the third quarter of fiscal
2023 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2022. This increase is
primarily attributed to pricing actions taken by management to
offset increases in purchased parts costs and increased inventory
availability as supply chain constraints began to improve during
the third quarter of fiscal 2023 relative to the third quarter of
fiscal 2022.
Gross Profit
Third quarter gross profit of $45.8 million represented an
increase of $24.2 million from the third quarter of last year. The
increase was primarily driven by the $88.2 million increase in net
sales, discussed above. This was partially offset by an increase of
$64.0 million in cost of goods sold, primarily corresponding the
increase net sales.
Net Income
Net income was $9.4 million for the third quarter of fiscal
2023, which was a $15.8 million increase compared to the same
period last year. The increase was primarily driven by the $24.2
million increase in gross profit, discussed above. Partially
offsetting this was an increase of $7.2 million in other expense,
primarily due to expenses we were required to pay on behalf of
several stockholders in connection with their sale of shares of
common stock during the third quarter of fiscal 2023, with no
similar expense recorded during the same period of fiscal 2022.
Adjusted Net Income
Adjusted net income was $14.5 million, representing an increase
of $17.4 million compared with the same period last year, primarily
due to the $15.8 million increase in net income, discussed
above.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA was $28.0 million, which was an increase of
$19.2 million compared with the third quarter last year. This
increase primarily results from the $15.8 million increase in net
income as a result of the factors discussed above as well as a $1.8
million increase in depreciation, amortization, and disposals and a
$5.5 million increase in stockholder transaction costs, which were
partially offset by a $3.9 million decrease in operational
transformation initiative costs that we incurred in fiscal 2022 to
address the supply chain constraints that were having a significant
adverse impact on our operations and financial results, with only
relative minor amounts of such activity recorded during fiscal
2023.
Year-to-Date Fiscal 2023
Results
Net Sales
Net sales were $829.8 million for the nine months ended July 1,
2023, an increase of $286.9 million, or 52.8%, compared with the
same period in fiscal 2022. Bus sales increased $269.5 million, or
55.3%, reflecting a 33.1% increase in units booked and a 16.6%
increase in average sales price per unit. 6,398 units booked in the
nine months ended July 1, 2023 compared with 4,806 units booked
during the same period in fiscal 2022. The increase in units sold
was primarily due to constraints in the Company's ability to
produce and deliver buses due to shortages of critical components
in the three quarters of fiscal 2022. The increase in unit price
for the first three quarters of fiscal 2023 compared to the same
period in fiscal 2022 reflects pricing actions taken by management
as well as product and customer mix changes. Parts sales increased
$17.4 million, or 31.4%, for the nine months ended July 1, 2023
compared to the nine months ended July 2, 2022. This increase is
primarily attributed to pricing actions taken by management to
offset increases in purchased parts costs and increased inventory
availability as supply chain constraints began to improve slightly
during the first three quarters of fiscal 2023 relative to the
first three quarters of fiscal 2022.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the nine months ended July 1, 2023 was $88.9
million, an increase of $47.9 million compared to the same period
in the prior year. The increase was primarily driven by the $286.9
million increase in net sales. This was partially offset by an
increase of $239.0 million in cost of goods sold, primarily
corresponding the increase net sales.
Net Income
Net income was $5.2 million for the nine months ended July 1,
2023, which was a $27.9 million increase from the same period in
the prior year. The increase in net income was primarily driven by
the $47.9 million increase in gross profit, discussed above, and a
$7.7 million increase in equity in net income of non-consolidated
affiliate. These increases were partially offset by a corresponding
$6.6 million increase in income tax expense, as well as a $7.8
million increase in SG&A, a $4.4 million increase in interest
expense, and a $9.2 million increase in other expense. The increase
in SG&A was primarily driven by an increase in labor cost, the
increase in interest expense was primarily attributable to an
increase in the stated term loan interest rate from 7.9% at July 2,
2022 to 11.1% at July 1, 2023, and the increase in other expense
was primarily due to expenses we were required to pay on behalf of
several stockholders in connection with their sale of shares of
common stock during the nine months ended July 1, 2023, with no
similar expense recorded during the same period of fiscal 2022.
Adjusted Net Income
Adjusted net income for the nine months ended July 1, 2023 was
$13.1 million, an increase of $28.1 million compared with the same
period last year, primarily due to the $27.9 million increase in
net income, discussed above.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA was $43.6 million for the nine months ended July
1, 2023, an increase of $41.9 million compared to the same period
in the prior year. This is primarily due to the $27.9 million
increase in net income, discussed above, the corresponding $6.6
million increase in income tax expense, and $6.3 million for the
stockholder transaction costs discussed above.

Key Non-GAAP Financial Measures We Use
to Evaluate Our Performance
This press release includes the following non-GAAP financial
measures “Adjusted EBITDA,” "Adjusted EBITDA Margin," "Adjusted Net
Income," "Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share," “Free Cash Flow”
and “Adjusted Free Cash Flow”. Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow
are financial metrics that are utilized by management and the board
of directors to determine (a) the annual cash bonus payouts, if
any, to be made to certain members of management based upon the
terms of the Company’s Management Incentive Plan, and (b) whether
the performance criteria have been met for the vesting of certain
equity awards granted annually to certain members of management
based upon the terms of the Company’s Omnibus Equity Incentive
Plan. Additionally, consolidated EBITDA, which is an adjusted
EBITDA metric defined by our Amended Credit Agreement that could
differ from Adjusted EBITDA discussed above as the adjustments to
the calculations are not uniform, is used to determine the
Company's ongoing compliance with several financial covenant
requirements, including being utilized in the denominator of the
calculation of the Total Net Leverage Ratio. Accordingly,
management views these non-GAAP financial metrics as key for the
above purposes and as a useful way to evaluate the performance of
our operations as discussed further below.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income or loss prior to
interest income; interest expense including the component of
operating lease expense (which is presented as a single operating
expense in selling, general and administrative expenses in our U.S.
GAAP financial statements) that represents interest expense on
lease liabilities; income taxes; and depreciation and amortization
including the component of operating lease expense (which is
presented as a single operating expense in selling, general and
administrative expenses in our U.S. GAAP financial statements) that
represents amortization charges on right-of-use lease assets; as
adjusted for certain non-cash charges or credits that we may record
on a recurring basis such as share-based compensation expense and
unrealized gains or losses on certain derivative financial
instruments; net gains or losses on the disposal of assets as well
as certain charges such as (i) significant product design changes;
(ii) transaction related costs; (iii) discrete expenses related to
major cost cutting and/or operational transformation initiatives;
or (iv) costs directly attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic. While
certain of the charges that are added back in the Adjusted EBITDA
calculation, such as transaction related costs and operational
transformation and major product redesign initiatives, represent
operating expenses that may be recorded in more than one annual
period, the significant project or transaction giving rise to such
expenses is not considered to be indicative of the Company’s normal
operations. Accordingly, we believe that these, as well as the
other credits and charges that comprise the amounts utilized in the
determination of Adjusted EBITDA described above, should not be
used in evaluating the Company’s ongoing annual operating
performance.
We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA as a
percentage of net sales. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
are not measures of performance defined in accordance with U.S.
GAAP. The measures are used as a supplement to U.S. GAAP results in
evaluating certain aspects of our business, as described below.
We believe that Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin,
Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share are
useful to investors in evaluating our performance because the
measures consider the performance of our ongoing operations,
excluding decisions made with respect to capital investment,
financing, and certain other significant initiatives or
transactions as outlined in the preceding paragraph. We believe the
non-GAAP measures offer additional financial metrics that, when
coupled with the GAAP results and the reconciliation to GAAP
results, provide a more complete understanding of our results of
operations and the factors and trends affecting our business.
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Net Income and
Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share should not be considered as
alternatives to net income or GAAP earnings per share as an
indicator of our performance or as alternatives to any other
measure prescribed by GAAP as there are limitations to using such
non-GAAP measures. Although we believe the non-GAAP measures may
enhance an evaluation of our operating performance based on recent
revenue generation and product/overhead cost control because they
exclude the impact of prior decisions made about capital
investment, financing, and other expenses, (i) other companies in
Blue Bird’s industry may define Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA
margin, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per
Share differently than we do and, as a result, they may not be
comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies in
Blue Bird’s industry, and (ii) Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA
margin, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per
Share exclude certain financial information that some may consider
important in evaluating our performance.
We compensate for these limitations by providing disclosure of
the differences between Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin,
Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share and
GAAP results, including providing a reconciliation to GAAP results,
to enable investors to perform their own analysis of our operating
results.
Our measures of “Free Cash Flow” and "Adjusted Free Cash Flow"
are used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented
in accordance with GAAP and free cash flow and adjusted free cash
flow should not be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial
measures. Free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow reflect an
additional way of viewing our liquidity that, when viewed with our
GAAP results, provides a more complete understanding of factors and
trends affecting our cash flows. We strongly encourage investors to
review our financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their
entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.
We define Free Cash Flow as total cash provided by/used in
operating activities as adjusted for net cash paid for the
acquisition of fixed assets and intangible assets. We use Free Cash
Flow, and ratios based on Free Cash Flow, to conduct and evaluate
our business because, although it is similar to cash flow from
operations, we believe it is a more conservative measure of cash
flow since purchases of fixed assets and intangible assets are a
necessary component of ongoing operations.
