LAFAYETTE, Ind. – February 2, 2016
– Wabash National Corporation (NYSE: WNC), a diversified industrial manufacturer and
North America’s leading producer of semi-trailers and liquid transportation systems, today reported results for the fourth
quarter and full year periods ending December 31, 2015.
Net income for the fourth quarter of 2015
was $33.3 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, compared to fourth quarter 2014 net income of $19.1, or $0.27 per diluted share.
Fourth quarter 2015 non-GAAP adjusted earnings increased $15.0 million as compared to the prior year period to $34.1 million, or
$0.51 per diluted share. Non-GAAP adjusted earnings for the fourth quarter of 2015 includes the impairment of certain intangible
assets of $1.1 million related to streamlining of product branding and an early extinguishment of debt charge of $0.2 million incurred
with regards to the Company’s repurchase of a portion of the outstanding convertible senior notes. Net sales for the fourth
quarter increased 3 percent to a record $544 million from $527 million in the prior year quarter and operating income increased
60 percent to $54.7 million compared to operating income of $34.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2014. Operating EBITDA, a non-GAAP
measure that excludes the effects of certain recurring and non-recurring items, for the fourth quarter of 2015 was $68.6 million,
an increase of $22.5 million compared to operating EBITDA for the previous year quarter.
For the twelve months ended December 31,
2015, the Company reported net income of $104.3 million, or $1.50 per diluted share, on record net sales of $2.03 billion, compared
to net income of $60.9 million, or $0.85 per diluted share, on net sales of $1.86 billion for the twelve months ended December
31, 2014. Full year 2015 results included the benefit for adjustments, net of tax, totaling $0.9 million, or $0.01 per diluted
share, as gains realized on the sale of the Company’s former retail branch locations were offset by charges for the impairment
of certain intangible assets related to streamlining of product branding and the early extinguishment of debt incurred in connection
with the refinancing of the Company’s term loan credit facility and repurchases of a portion of the outstanding convertible
senior notes. Excluding the impact of these items, non-GAAP adjusted earnings for the full year 2015 were $103.4 million, or $1.49
per diluted share. Full year 2014 results included one-time charges net of tax totaling $2.0 million, or $0.03 per diluted share,
related to the early extinguishment of debt incurred with the Company’s term loan prepayments, the transition of three Retail
branch locations to independent dealer facilities and the revaluation of deferred income taxes due to changes in statutory tax
rates. Excluding the impact of these items, non-GAAP adjusted earnings for the full year 2014 were $63.0 million, or $0.89 per
diluted share.
For full year 2015, the Company achieved
record operating EBITDA of $229.5 million, or 11.3 percent of net sales, as compared to $169.0 million, or 9.1 percent of net sales,
for the previous year. The year-over-year improvement in operating performance is attributable to the successful execution of the
Company’s growth and diversification strategies as well as operational improvements across the Company’s manufacturing
facilities.
The following is a summary of select operating
and financial results for the past five quarters:

Dick Giromini, president and chief executive
officer, stated, “We are extremely pleased with our results for 2015 as we set new records across several key financial metrics.
The overall strength in the Company’s operating performance highlights the success of our growth and diversification initiatives
driven by our long-term strategic plan to transform the Company into a diversified industrial manufacturer with a higher growth
and margin profile, while maintaining our focus and expertise in lean and six sigma optimization initiatives. This is demonstrated
by the achievement of record net sales and operating income for the fourth consecutive year of $2.03 billion and $180.4 million,
respectively, as well as a 230 basis point improvement in operating income margin to a record level of 8.9 percent. Our performance
for the year further substantiates the significant progress we have made in our transformation efforts, and underscores our commitment
to long-term profitable growth.”
Mr. Giromini continued, “New trailer
shipments of 64,700 for the year exceeded our previous guidance due to strong customer pick-up and represents an increase of 7,350
trailers, or 12.8 percent, as compared to the previous year. We look forward to 2016 with a healthy backlog of orders totaling
$1.2 billion, representing an increase of 10 percent as compared to the prior year period, and a trailer demand expected to be
well above replacement levels for a fifth consecutive year. Fleet age, customer profitability, used trailer values, regulatory
compliance and access to financing all support continued strong trailer demand and provide a favorable pricing environment within
specific product lines.”

Commercial Trailer Products achieved new
quarterly records for revenues, gross profit, operating income and operating margin. Net sales were $413 million, an increase of
$35 million, or 9.3 percent, on shipments of 16,100 trailers, representing 350 more trailers than the prior year period. This increase
in revenue was primarily due to an improved pricing environment and the 2.2 percent increase in new trailer shipments during the
quarter. Supported by the improved pricing environment, continued strong demand and outstanding operational execution, gross profit
and gross profit margin increased $27.7 million and 600 basis points to $58.5 million and 14.2%, respectively, and operating income
increased by $26.2 million, or 104.1 percent, to $51.4 million compared to the same period last year.
Diversified Products’ net sales decreased
$17 million, or 13.9 percent, as compared to the previous year period as decreases in tank trailer shipments were only partially
offset by increased sales of the Company’s aviation refuelers and composite product offerings. Gross profit decreased $1.6
million, or 6.0 percent, on lower sales; however, gross profit margin improved 200 basis points as compared to the prior year period
to 23.6 percent as a result of strong operational execution. Operating income margin, excluding the charges for impairment of intangible
assets during the current quarter, was 11.9 percent, an improvement of 30 basis points as compared to the prior year period.
Retail’s net sales of $37 million
decreased 22.9 percent compared with the prior year period primarily due to lower shipments of new trailers as a result of channel
optimization activities and early depletion of build slots, which were partially offset by the continued strong demand for parts
and service activities. Gross profit margin increased 210 basis points compared to the prior year period to 12.0 percent due to
a shift in product mix favoring the higher-margined parts and service sales. Operating income for the fourth quarter of 2015 was
$0.6 million, consistent with the same period last year.
2016 Outlook
Mr. Giromini further commented, “We
enter 2016 with great momentum from a record 2015, a strong trailer demand environment generating a strong backlog, continued excellence
in operational performance across all business segments and the potential for organic growth through diversification and innovative
new product introductions. With that backdrop, coupled with a strong industry demand forecast, our current expectations are for
2016 to deliver a very strong year.”
Capital Allocation
During the fourth quarter, Wabash National
repurchased $19 million of shares and fully exhausted the $60 million share repurchase program authorized by the Board of Directors
in December 2014. Additionally, in December 2015 the Company entered into agreements with existing holders of a portion of its
outstanding Convertible Senior Notes due 2018 to purchase up to $54.2 million in principal, of which $19.0 million was purchased
in December 2015, with the remaining amount to be acquired in February 2016. Jeff Taylor, senior vice president and chief financial
officer, said, "Our continuing strong business performance, solid backlog and outlook, and financial position provided us
the opportunity to take these actions as part of our ongoing commitment to prudently manage the overall financial risks of the
Company, returning capital to our shareholders and deleveraging our balance sheet. The actions taken during 2015 will lower our
overall balance sheet risk while maintaining the flexibility to continue to execute our strategy.”
New Stock Repurchase Program
As previously announced, the Company’s
Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to an additional $100 million of its common stock over a two-year period as the
previously authorized repurchase program in December 2014 has been completed. Stock repurchases under this program may be made
in the open market or in private transactions at times and in amounts determined by the Company. The Company, at its sole discretion,
may limit or terminate the stock repurchase program at any time based on market conditions, liquidity needs or other factors. The
program is intended to enhance shareholder value by reducing the overall number of outstanding shares, including by offsetting
dilution resulting from stock-based compensation programs.
Non-GAAP Measures
In addition to disclosing financial results
calculated in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the financial information included
in this release contains non-GAAP financial measures, including operating EBITDA, operating EBITDA margin, adjusted earnings and
adjusted earnings per diluted share.
These non-GAAP measures should not be considered
a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures and results calculated in accordance with GAAP, including net income, and
reconciliations to GAAP financial statements should be carefully evaluated.
Operating EBITDA is defined as earnings
before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, impairment of intangibles and other non-operating
income and expense. Management believes operating EBITDA provides useful information to investors regarding the Company’s
results of operations. The Company provides this measure because we believe it is useful for investors to understand the Company’s
performance period to period with the exclusion of the recurring and non-recurring items identified above. Management believes
the presentation of operating EBITDA, when combined with the primary GAAP presentation of operating income, is beneficial to an
investor’s understanding of the Company’s operating performance. A reconciliation of operating EBITDA to net income
is included in the tables following this release.
Adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings
per diluted share reflect adjustments for income recognized on the sale of former retail branch locations as well as charges related
to losses incurred in connection with the Company’s impairment of intangible assets and the extinguishment of debt. Historically,
we have excluded from these measures the revaluation of deferred income tax assets due to changes in statutory tax rates. Management
believes providing this measure and excluding these items facilitate comparisons to the Company’s prior year periods and,
when combined with the primary GAAP presentation of net income and diluted net income per share, is beneficial to an investor’s
understanding of the Company’s performance. A reconciliation of adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per diluted share
to net income and diluted net income per share is included in the tables following this release.

WABASH NATIONAL CORPORATION ANNOUNCES
$100 MILLION
STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM
LAFAYETTE, Ind., -- February 2, 2016
-- Wabash National Corporation (“Wabash” or “the Company”) (NYSE: WNC) today announced that its board of
directors has authorized the Company to repurchase up to $100 million of its common stock over a two-year
period. This is a new repurchase authorization as the $60 million previously authorized in December 2014 has been fully utilized.
Stock repurchases under this program may be made in the open market or in private transactions at times and in amounts determined
by the Company. The Company, at its sole discretion, may limit or terminate the stock repurchase program at any time based on market
conditions, liquidity needs or other factors. The program is intended to enhance shareholder value by reducing the overall number
of outstanding shares, including by offsetting dilution resulting from stock-based compensation programs.
Dick Giromini, President and Chief Executive
Officer, said, "Board authorization of a new share repurchase program validates our continued commitment to a balanced capital
allocation plan that includes a return of capital to our shareholders. We are taking this action as part of our ongoing commitment
to reward shareholders based on the confidence we have in Wabash’s earnings, cash flow, and growth potential while continuing
to execute our capital allocation strategy. We remain confident that we will have sufficient cash flow to continue an active share
repurchase program and grow the business while also maintaining strong liquidity, deleveraging our balance sheet and growing the
business."
