Blue Bird Corporation (BLBD) Tops Q4 EPS by 7c

Blue Bird Corporation (NASDAQ: BLBD) reported Q4 EPS of $0.49, $0.07 better than the analyst estimate of $0.42. Revenue for the quarter came in at $286.4 million versus the consensus estimate of $291.33 million.

“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.”
