Meritor Reports Second-Quarter Fiscal Year 2013 Results

Company Achieves Sequential Margin Expansion of 120 Basis Points

Executes Agreement to Sell Brazilian Joint Venture

TROY, Mich. (April 30, 2013) - Meritor, Inc. (NYSE: MTOR) today reported financial results for its second fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2013.

Second-Quarter Highlights

• Sales were $908 million, down $252 million or 22 percent, from the same period last year.

• Net loss on a GAAP basis was $4 million, compared to net income of $20 million from the same period last year and a net loss of $21 million from the prior quarter.

• Adjusted EBITDA was $58 million, compared with $95 million from the same period last year and $46 million from the prior quarter.

• Adjusted EBITDA margin was 6.4 percent, compared to 8.2 percent in the second quarter of fiscal year 2012 and 5.2 percent in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013.

• Operating cash flow was negative $18 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2013, compared to negative $51 million in the same period last year.

• Free cash flow was negative $26 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2013, compared to negative $69 million in the same period last year.

“Our improved performance this quarter was in line with our expectations,” said Chairman, CEO and President Chip McClure. “We drove higher EBITDA margins quarter-over-quarter as a result of net material performance, pricing actions and lower structural costs.”

Second-Quarter Results

For the second quarter of fiscal year 2013, Meritor posted sales of $908 million, down 22 percent from the same period last year. This decrease was primarily due to lower sales in all global markets that the company serves, excluding South America.

Loss from continuing operations, on a GAAP basis, was $4 million or $0.04 per diluted share, compared to a net income from continuing operations of $29 million or $0.30 per diluted share in the prior year. Loss from continuing operations includes $11 million of restructuring charges in the second quarter of fiscal year 2013.

Adjusted income from continuing operations in the second quarter of fiscal year 2013 was $6 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, compared to adjusted income from continuing operations of $32 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, a year ago.

Adjusted EBITDA was $58 million, compared to $95 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2012. Adjusted EBITDA margin for the second quarter of fiscal year 2013 was 6.4 percent, compared with 8.2 percent for the same period last year. Compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, Adjusted EBITDA improved $12 million and Adjusted EBITDA margin improved 120 basis points to 6.4 percent. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are primarily due to improved net material performance, pricing and lower structural costs.

Free cash flow for the second quarter of fiscal year 2013 was negative $26 million compared to free cash flow of negative $69 million in the same period last year.

Second-Quarter Segment Results

Commercial Truck & Industrial sales were $712 million, down $240 million from the same period last year. Segment EBITDA for the Commercial Truck & Industrial segment was $37 million for the quarter, down $38 million from the second quarter of fiscal year 2012, primarily driven by lower sales in all regions, excluding South America. Segment EBITDA margin was 5.2 percent, down from 7.9 percent in the second quarter of fiscal year 2012.

The company's Aftermarket & Trailer segment posted sales of $224 million, down $19 million from the same period last year, primarily due to lower volumes in North America. Segment EBITDA for Aftermarket & Trailer was $22 million, down $2 million or 8 percent from the second quarter of fiscal year 2012, and Segment EBITDA margin was 9.8 percent, compared to 9.9 percent in the second quarter of fiscal year 2012.

Business Highlights

• Signed a purchase and sale agreement to sell 50 percent ownership interest in Suspensys Sistemas Automotivos LTDA to joint venture partner Randon S.A. Implementos E Participacoes at a purchase price of $195 million in cash and other consideration. The agreement is subject to Brazilian antitrust approval. The sale is expected to be consummated by Meritor's fiscal year end.

• Completed the consolidation of remanufacturing operations from Mississauga, Ontario, Canada into the North American remanufacturing center of excellence in Plainfield, Ind. The company's corresponding Canadian customer service support was moved to its Brampton, Ontario facility.

• Executed majority of previously announced reductions of 200 salaried positions as well as 50 hourly positions to substantially mitigate the mix effects of the ramp-down in the FMTV military program. Targeted reductions also include the restructuring of the on-highway business in China which is being transferred to Xuzhou Meritor Axle Co. Ltd., Meritor's majority owned off-highway joint venture. These actions in China are intended to improve efficiency, preserve revenue growth potential and reduce overhead costs.

Outlook for 2013

For fiscal year 2013, the company is reaffirming guidance for its continuing operations, inclusive of the impact of the Suspensys divestiture as follows:

• Revenue to be approximately $3.8 billion.

• Adjusted EBITDA margin to be approximately 7 percent for fiscal year 2013.

• Adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations in the range of $0.25 to $0.35.

• Free cash flow from continuing operations before restructuring payments to be slightly negative.

For fiscal year 2013, the company continues to anticipate the following for the entire company:

• Capital expenditures in the range of $65 million to $75 million.

• Interest expense in the range of $95 million to $105 million.

• Cash interest in the range of $75 million to $85 million.

• Cash income taxes in the range of $45 million to $55 million (excludes the impact of the Suspensys sale).

“We are reconfirming our fiscal year 2013 guidance as we continue to expect revenue to be stronger in the second half of the year,” said McClure. “Today, we're announcing the launch of our three-year strategy, M2016, that we believe will improve our ability to expand our EBITDA margin, reduce net debt and drive incremental revenue. We plan to provide progress updates on these three metrics as we drive toward maximizing value for our shareholders, customers and employees.”

All earnings per share amounts are on a diluted basis. The company's fiscal year ends on the Sunday nearest Sept. 30, and its fiscal quarters generally end on the Sundays nearest Dec. 31, March 31 and June 30. All year and quarter references relate to the company's fiscal year and fiscal quarters, unless otherwise stated.

Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to the results reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) included throughout this press release, the company has provided information regarding Adjusted income or loss from continuing operations, Adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, free cash flow and free cash flow from continuing operations before restructuring payments which are non-GAAP financial measures.

Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations and Adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations are defined as reported income or loss from continuing operations and reported diluted earnings or loss per share from continuing operations before restructuring expenses, asset impairment charges and other special items as determined by management. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income (loss) from continuing operations before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-controlling interests in consolidated joint ventures, loss on sale of receivables, restructuring expenses, asset impairment charges and other special items as determined by management. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by consolidated sales. Free cash flow is defined as cash flows provided by (used for) operating activities less capital expenditures.

Management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release are useful to both management and investors in their analysis of the company's financial position and results of operations. In particular, management believes that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are meaningful measures of performance as they are commonly utilized by management and

the investment community to analyze operating performance in our industry. Further, management uses Adjusted EBITDA for planning and forecasting future periods. Management believes that free cash flow is useful in analyzing our ability to service and repay debt.

Adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations, Adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for the reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Free cash flow should not be considered a substitute for cash provided by (used for) operating activities, or other cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP, or as a measure of financial position or liquidity. In addition, these non-GAAP cash flow measures do not reflect cash used to service debt or cash received from the divestitures of businesses or sales of other assets and thus do not reflect funds available for investment or other discretionary uses. These non-GAAP financial measures, as determined and presented by the company, may not be comparable to related or similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Set forth on the following pages are reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Segment EBITDA and EBITDA Margins

Segment EBITDA is defined as income (loss) from continuing operations before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, noncontrolling interests in consolidated joint ventures, loss on sale of receivables, restructuring costs and asset impairment charges. We use Segment EBITDA as the primary basis for the Chief Operating Decision Maker to evaluate the performance of each of our reportable segments.
