Navistar to Restate Results for First Nine Months of Fiscal 2008
Dec 30, 2008 11:32 AM
Navistar International Corporation announced today that it will restate its financial results for the nine months ended July 31, 2008. As a result, the company expects to increase reported net income by $50 million to $70 million ($0.68 to $0.95 per diluted share) for the nine months ended July 31, 2008.
Navistar continues to affirm its guidance for fiscal 2008 of projected net income in the range of $467 million to $548 million and diluted earnings per share of $6.35 to $7.45, excluding charges for impairment of long-lived assets and related charges associated with certain assets in its Engine segment(1). Navistar’s Truck segment performed for the year as anticipated; however, the profitability occurred earlier in the current fiscal year than previously expected.
The need for the restatement relates to overstatement of costs of products sold and the understatement of inventories and accounts payable in Navistar’s Truck segment. Navistar expects to file one or more amended quarterly reports prior to filing its 2008 annual 10-K. The restatement is not expected to delay the company’s year-end filing for fiscal 2008 scheduled for December 30.
