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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s financial results for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016 are included in its Form 10-K, which was filed today with the SEC.
