Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition
Meritor, Inc. (the Company) is furnishing this Current Report on Form 8-K/A as Amendment No. 1 to its Current Report on Form 8-K originally furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on November 16, 2016 (the Original 8-K). The purpose of this Amendment No. 1 is to announce revised financial results for its fourth fiscal quarter and year ended September 30, 2016.
As compared to the Companys earnings release furnished as an exhibit to the Original 8-K:
● |
The benefit for income taxes has been revised to reflect a net increase of $22 million for both the fourth fiscal quarter and year ended September 30, 2016 (resulting from an increase of $33 million to the reported $405 million recognized from the partial release of the tax valuation allowance in the United States, partially offset by an $11 million reduction to the reported $36 million in other correlated tax relief). |
● |
For both the fourth fiscal quarter and year ended September 30, 2016, the adjustment: |
○ |
Increased both net income and net income attributable to the Company by $22 million; |
○ |
Increased both income from continuing operations and net income from continuing operations attributable to the Company by $22 million; and |
○ |
Increased both diluted earnings per share and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations by $0.24. |
The adjustments did not affect any of the other operating results reported in the Original 8-K and affected certain deferred tax assets as reflected on the September 30, 2016 balance sheet included in the Companys Form 10-K, which was filed today with the SEC.
A summary of the revised operating results is as follows (in millions, except per share amounts):
Three Months | Twelve Months | |||||
Ended | Ended | |||||
September 30, | September 30, | |||||
2016 | 2016 | |||||
Benefit for income taxes | $ | 446 | $ | 424 | ||
Income from continuing operations | 474 | 579 | ||||
Net income from continuing operations attributable to Meritor, Inc. | 474 | 577 | ||||
Net income | 474 | 575 | ||||
Net Income attributable to Meritor, Inc. | 474 | 573 | ||||
Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations | 5.34 | 6.27 | ||||
Diluted earnings per share | 5.34 | 6.23 |
These revisions to the financial results reported in the Original 8-K and the related press release arose in connection with the Companys discovery of a required adjustment during the completion of its year-end financial reporting process in preparation for its Form 10-K filing for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016.
The Companys financial results for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016 are included in its Form 10-K, which was filed today with the SEC.
