“We are pleased with the company’s performance in the third fiscal quarter,” said chairman, CEO and president Chip McClure. “Despite lower sales volumes driven by weaker market conditions in Brazil, Europe, China and India, we expanded adjusted EBITDA margins and generated strong cash flow.”

Operating profit was $50m or $0.51 per share, compared with $27m or $0.28 per share the previous year and due mostly to lower taxes.

Commercial truck sales were $690m, down $80m year on year, as higher sales in North America were more than offset by decreases in Brazil and Europe and adverse currency effects.
