REVG REV Group Inc

REV Group, Inc. (NYSE:REVG) today announced full-year fiscal 2018 guidance. REV Group, Inc. (“REV Group”) expects full-year fiscal 2018 revenue to be in the range of $2.4 to $2.7 billion, net income to be in the range of $85 to $100 million and Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $200 to $220 million. REV Group is forecasting growth in all three of its reportable segments in fiscal 2018, and it remains comfortable with achieving the midpoint of its previously announced net income and Adjusted EBITDA guidance ranges for full-year fiscal 2017 and the bottom end of the range of its previously announced revenue guidance range for full-year fiscal 2017. The 2018 outlook does not include any impact from potential additional future acquisitions.

Note Regarding Non-GAAP Measures

REV Group reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). However, management believes that the evaluation of REV Group’s ongoing operating results may be enhanced by a presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization as adjusted for certain non-recurring, one-time and other adjustments which REV Group believes are not indicative of its underlying operating performance.

REV Group believes that the use of Adjusted EBITDA provides additional meaningful methods of evaluating certain aspects of its operating performance from period to period on a basis that may not be otherwise apparent under GAAP when used in addition to, and not in lieu of, GAAP measures. The following table includes a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most closely comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
