THE NEW NAVISTAR

2017 Annual Report

To our stockholders, employees and customers: 

2017 was a breakthrough year for Navistar. We achieved full-year profitability for the 
first time since 2011, and achieved our largest single-year market share gain in the last 
eight years. We also disrupted the industry by our alliance with Volkswagen Truck & 
Bus, which accelerates our strategy for the future. 

This breakthrough year capped a five-year period when our stock’s cumulative total 
return outperformed not just the overall market, but our sector as a whole. This 
performance reflects multiple accomplishments. 

Market Position Improving 

We have boosted our market position through our smart, steady investment in a renewed 
product lineup, advanced technologies and industry-leading connected vehicle solutions. 

We are seeing increased customer interest in our products, due to the performance of our 
new products and our improved financial viability. Revenues grew six percent to $8.6 
billion, thanks to higher truck and bus volumes. Our Core Class 6-8 retail market share 
grew by 1.5 points over 2016, with growth in every truck segment. We expanded our 
success with large fleets, more than doubling the number of customers placing orders of 
more than 500 vehicles. Bus chargeouts remained steady as we invested in an expanded 
school bus product line for 2018, including diesel, propane and gasoline models. We also 
announced the introduction of an innovative electric bus to go on sale in 2019. 

The new International® A26 diesel engine, an all-new 12.4-liter engine, is growing our 
share in the 13-liter segment of the Class 8 market. Third-party tests confirm that when it 
is teamed with our long-haul International® LT™ Series, it leads the industry in fuel 
economy by an average of four percent. It is currently available in the LT Series and our 
regional-haul RH™ Series, and in 2018, we plan to launch it in our heavy vocational 
HX™ Series and HV™ Series.  

Our 2018 product development pipeline is full, including the aforementioned offerings as 
well as a new medium-duty truck; the updated International® LoneStar®; a re-introduced 
RE school bus; and a gasoline-powered CE school bus. Toward the end of the calendar 
year, we will enter the Class 4/5 market with a vehicle that we are co-developing with 
General Motors. By the end of 2018, we will have an entirely renewed truck lineup.  

Performance-Driven 

We have transformed Navistar into a performance-driven company, with improved 
profitability, reduced costs, improved quality and declining legacy issues.  

In 2017, our lean-enterprise initiatives progressed across all manufacturing operations, 
with significant improvements in quality and cost. We further rationalized non-core  

Page 2 
(cid:3)

operations by selling the bus parts fabrication business and a fuel injector business line, 
as well as finalizing plans to cease production of a low-volume engine offering. We cut 
gross used truck inventory in half from the previous year. And our 2017 warranty 
expense reached its lowest level since 2009, a reflection of our improved product quality 
and reliability.  

These steps and others drove sustained financial progress: 2017 was our fifth consecutive 
year of adjusted EBITDA improvement.  

Connected Services Leadership 

We are a leader in the pursuit of innovative, customer-focused solutions using 
technologies that are reshaping the trucking industry.  

The OnCommand® Connection telematics and remote diagnostics platform offers the 
industry unique benefits. It helps customers with more effective and efficient repairs and 
maintenance. It is well positioned as the industry’s digital backbone, providing data that 
is critically important for load matching, platooning and autonomous trucking. And 
increasingly, it is a platform for offering innovative services to vehicles’ second and third 
owners, who have traditionally been under-served by truck OEMs. 

This year, we made a new integrated telematics solution available, as well as electronic 
Driver Vehicle Inspection Reporting, fuel tax reporting, and over-the-air programming 
for Cummins engines. We also partnered with Edulog, a leader in pupil transportation 
technology, to provide comprehensive telematics solutions to the school bus market. In 
addition, we launched the OnCommand Connection Marketplace, a new, open-
architecture, cloud-based e-commerce platform for driver support apps like the 
OnCommand Connection Electronic Driver Log, which automates federal Hours of 
Service compliance.  

Uptime Leadership 

We are working with the International® dealer network, the industry’s largest, to drive 
Uptime as a differentiating value proposition.  

With more than 370,000 vehicles transmitting real-time performance data, OnCommand 
Connection is a critical tool to help our dealers improve customer Uptime. We have 
reduced dealer dwell time with improved diagnostics and repair procedures. A growing 
number of our dealers achieved Diamond EdgeSM certification based on adherence to 
rigorous service standards. With our leadership in connected services and our network-
wide focus on Uptime, we are well-positioned to lead the industry in making unplanned 
downtime a thing of the past.

Our New Alliance Changes the Game 

Our game-changing alliance with Volkswagen Truck & Bus is providing rapid 
technology innovation and significant advantages in reduced costs. Our alliance is on 
track to deliver $500 million in savings to Navistar over the first five years. The alliance 
also allows us to move much more quickly into the advanced technologies that will shape 
the industry’s future. We are collaborating with Volkswagen on fully integrated, next-
generation diesel big bore powertrains, and have announced plans to collaborate on an 
electric medium-duty truck, an electric school bus and the convergence of our connected 
vehicle platforms.  

The alliance solidifies our position as a long-term player in North America, creates new 
parts sales and growth opportunities, and leverages global scale to achieve significant 
cost synergies.  

Looking Forward 

Thanks to our progress in all these areas, we are steadily moving toward consistent cash 
flow generation and sustainable profitability.  

Taking advantage of a strengthening financial position, Navistar recently completed two 
capital market transactions, which improves the debt maturity profile, yields $200 million 
of additional liquidity, and will save approximately $25 million in interest this coming 
year. 

Looking ahead to 2018, we foresee another strong year, with growth in the Class 8 
market and steady sales in Class 6 and 7. As a result, we expect further growth in revenue 
and earnings, while making additional long-term investments. We anticipate stronger 
gross margins, due to lower material costs and improved manufacturing efficiencies. 
And, we will remain focused on the operational excellence that enhances customer and 
shareholder value. Many thanks to our employees for their hard work and dedication to 
make this possible.  

This all adds up to The New Navistar – a company that is stronger than ever and 
positioned to win. We are firing on all cylinders and working to deliver a breakout year in 
2018. We have set our sights to become the number-one truck and bus company in North 
America. The steps we are taking today will enable us to reach this goal within the next 
five years.

Business 

PART I

Navistar International Corporation ("NIC"), incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in 1993, is a holding 
company whose principal operating entities are Navistar, Inc. ("NI") and Navistar Financial Corporation ("NFC"). References 
herein to the "Company," "we," "our," or "us" refer to NIC and its consolidated subsidiaries, including certain variable interest 
entities ("VIEs") of which we are the primary beneficiary. We report our annual results for our fiscal year, which ends October 
31. As such, all references to 2017, 2016, and 2015 contained within this Annual Report on Form 10-K relate to the applicable 
fiscal year unless otherwise indicated.

Overview 

We are an international manufacturer of International® brand commercial and military trucks, proprietary diesel engines, and IC 
Bus® ("IC") brand school and commercial buses, as well as a provider of service parts for trucks and diesel engines. We also 
provide retail, wholesale, and lease financing services for our trucks and parts. 

Our Products and Services

Our principal products and services include:

•  Trucks—We manufacture and distribute Class 4 through 8 trucks and buses in the common carrier, private carrier, 

government, leasing, construction, energy/petroleum, military vehicle, and student and commercial transportation markets 
under the International® and IC brands. We design and manufacture proprietary diesel engines for our International 
branded trucks and military vehicles and IC branded buses.

truck, trailer, and engine service parts.

•  Financial Services—We provide retail, wholesale, and lease financing of products sold by the Truck and Parts segments, 

as well as their dealers, within the U.S. and Mexico.

Our Strategy 

Our Business

Our core business is the United States and Canada truck and parts markets, where we participate primarily in the Class 6 
through 8 vehicle market segments (our “Core” markets). In the United States and Canada, nearly one in four Class 6 
through 8 vehicles on the road today is an International truck, with more than a million trucks on the road. We produce over 
a third of all school buses used in North America.  We have one of the largest commercial vehicle parts distribution 
networks in the United States and a captive finance company. Outside of our markets in the United States and Canada, 
International is one of the leading truck brands in Mexico and much of Latin America. We are also the largest independent 
diesel engine company in Brazil, with our wholly-owned subsidiary International Industria Automotiva da America do Sul 
Ltda. (“IIAA”), formerly MWM International Industria de Motores da America Do Sul Ltda. We also export trucks, buses, 
and engines to niche markets around the world.

We continue to take actions that we believe will improve our performance and continue to evaluate additional opportunities 
to enhance value for our customers.  Following is a summary of our 2017 accomplishments and our expectations going 
forward.

Our 2017 Accomplishments 

I.  Consummated VW T&B Alliance:  In February 2017, we consummated our previously announced strategic alliance 

with VW T&B pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 5, 2016, by and among us and VW T&B 
(“the Stock Purchase Agreement”), a License and Supply Framework Agreement and a Procurement JV Framework 
Agreement.  Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, we issued and VW T&B purchased 16.2 million shares of our 
common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $256 million at $15.76 per share, equal to a 19.9% stake in the 
Company (16.6% on a fully-diluted basis).

II.  Launched products and product features:  In 2017, we remained committed to focusing on our Core markets and 

investing in product development to increase customer value.  We expect to continue to announce a new or redesigned 
product, on average, every four to six months through 2018.  By the end of 2018, our entire portfolio will consist of newly 
designed trucks.

•

In February 2017, we introduced our new International® A26 diesel engine, an all-new 12.4L engine design which we 
believe offers improved fuel economy and will deliver the uptime that our customers demand.  In July 2017, we 
fulfilled customer shipments of our first on-highway vehicles powered by the International® A26 engine.
In April 2017, we introduced the International® RH™ Series, our new Class 8 regional haul tractor powered by the 
new International® A26 engine.  The RH Series is designed to deliver further improvements in vehicle uptime and 
driver productivity.  
In June 2017, we announced an IC Bus® gas powertrain offering to provide school bus customers additional 
powertrain options.
In July 2017, we made our OnCommand® Connection (“OCC”) Telematics solution available for purchase.  We also 
announced OCC Marketplace, a new, open-architecture, cloud-based technology platform; OCC Electronic Driver 
Log (“EDL”), which automates federal hours of service compliance requirements. During the year, we also 
introduced electronic Driver Vehicle Inspection Reporting, fuel tax reporting, live-action plans, and over-the-air 
programming for Cummins engines.
In September 2017, we introduced the International® HV™ Series, our new Class 8 severe service truck powered by 
the new International® A26™ diesel engine.
In September 2017, we announced the launch of an electric medium-duty truck in North America by late 2019 with 
our partner VW T&B.  We also expect to launch an IC electric bus as early as 2019.  The IC Electric Bus chargE™ 
was unveiled in late 2017. 

III. 

Improved quality and uptime:  We continued our relentless focus on improving quality and uptime in 2017.

•  We have reduced dealer dwell time through improvements in diagnostics and repair procedures.  An increasing 

number of service locations have achieved certification under the Diamond EdgeSM Certified Program, which is a 
dealer service performance program that is based on rigorous adherence to exacting parts and service metrics.
•  We have made great strides in improving the quality of components manufactured by our supply base. The quality 

performance of our supply base has improved to the point that over the last four years, there has been a reduction of 
more than 70% in supplier-related internal defects observed at our manufacturing facilities.  We expect that the 
continued reduction in supplier-related internal defects will have a positive impact on the uptime and performance of 
our vehicles.

•  Warranty expense continued to decline as a result of our improved product quality and reliability. Excluding pre-
existing charges, warranty expense as a percentage of manufacturing revenue was 2.4% in 2017, versus 2.7% in 
2016. 

•  Our new product Command Center has been in place since August 2017 focused on new products dwell time 

improvement. The goal is a maximum 24 hours dwell time for 80% of the vehicles and 48 hours dwell time for 100% 
of the vehicles.  OCC will support Command Center goals through proactive diagnostics and predictive tools.

IV.  Delivered on our plan to reduce costs:  In 2017, we continued cost management practices that are improving 

      margins.

Procurement and engineering design processes remain focused on lowering material costs.

• 
•  We revised our used truck strategy in the second quarter of 2017 which accelerated our sales and drove lower 

inventories and used truck reserve adjustments in the second half of the year.

•  We rationalized 9/10-liter engine production at our plant in Melrose Park, Illinois (the "Melrose Park Facility") and 

decided to cease production beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2018.

•  The VW T&B alliance is on plan to deliver procurement, technology, and other synergies.

V.  Built sales momentum:  Our Class 6-8 retail market share is gaining momentum, growing by over 150 share points 

over the course of fiscal 2017.   

•  Customer acceptance of new heavy duty products is growing steadily compared to 2016.
•  Our share of the rental and leasing businesses is increasing, boosting our market share in the Medium truck segment.
•  At the North American Commercial Vehicle ("NACV") show in September 2017, we launched the new International® 

LoneStar®, International® HV™, and the International® A26 engine in our International® HX™ series.

•  Our all-makes Fleetrite® and remanufactured ReNEWed® parts sales grew by double digits compared to 2016.

VI.  Sought New Sources of Revenue:  We continue to seek new sources of revenue.

• 

In March 2017, we announced that Navistar Defense, LLC ("ND"), was awarded two foreign military contracts by 
the U.S. Army Contracting Command. Under the first contract, ND will produce and support MaxxPro® Dash 

7

 
DXM™ Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (“MRAP”) vehicles for Pakistan. Under the second contract, ND will 
reset, upgrade and support MaxxPro® MRAP Excess Defense Article vehicles for the United Arab Emirates 
(“U.A.E.”).  The majority of the work will take place at our West Point, Mississippi assembly plant. Delivery is 
planned to be completed for Pakistan in calendar year 2017 and for the U.A.E. in calendar year 2018.
•  We ramped up contract manufacturing for General Motors Company ("GM") in our Springfield, Ohio plant.
•  We announced a strategic relationship with Education Logistics, Inc. (“Edulog”), an industry leader in pupil 

transportation solutions, which will offer the additional comprehensive telematics solutions to the school bus market 
using our OCC remote diagnostics and telematics solution for all makes and models.

VII.  Evaluated non-Core activities:  We also continue to evaluate our portfolio of assets to optimize our cost structure.  In 

May 2017, we completed the sale of a fuel injector business line that had been included in our Parts segment. During 
August 2017, we also sold our fabrication business in Conway, Arkansas.

Our Expectations Going Forward 

Going forward, we will focus on implementing our customer-centric strategy, which we believe will enable us to improve sales 
and market share by offering more value for our customers. Our strategy includes plans to:

•  Grow the Core business;

•  Drive operational excellence with enhanced focus on quality and reliability;

• 

• 

• 

• 

Pursue innovative technology solutions;

Leverage the VW T&B strategic alliance;

Enhance our winning culture; and

Improve our financial performance

I.  Grow the Core Business: We will continue to focus on leveraging our investments and assets to generate revenue 

growth.

•  New Product Launches - Our product development pipeline is full for 2018. In the first half of 2018, we will launch 
the International® HXTM Series with the International®A26 engine to complete the HX family.  We will also launch 
the RE bus with the Cummins ISL engine, the International® HVTM Series vocational truck with the A26 engine; the 
gasoline-powered CE bus; and an updated International® LoneStar® truck. In the first half of 2018, we will introduce 
the International® MVTM Series, our new medium-duty truck. To support Greenhouse Gas (“GHG”) emissions 
requirements, we will continue to introduce features that further improve fuel economy. We will also enter the Class 
4/5 market in the second half of 2018 with a vehicle that will be distributed separately through GM and our dealer 
networks.  

•  Distribution Effectiveness - We will continue to work with the dealer organization to improve customer reach, sales 
effectiveness and customer uptime. Recruitment and training of salespeople, improved operating practices, and 
comprehensive internal sales support are central to this strategy. 

•  Focus on the Customer - We will also continue our focus to align around customer needs.  We will implement 
uptime best practices, such as managing repairs in real time to reduce dwell time, and utilizing OCC data and its 
advanced diagnostic and prognostic capabilities.  New initiatives in 2018 are targeted to raise uptime to the next 
level.

•  Parts - Our growth initiatives focus on strengthening sales and dealer capability and loyalty; expansion of the 

successful Fleetrite all-makes parts offering; increasing share of late-in-lifecycle products including remanufactured 
offerings; and leveraging our connected vehicle platform and other technologies to accelerate the growth of parts and 
services.

II.  Drive Operational Excellence:  We will continue to drive improvement of key performance metrics such as product, 
manufacturing, structural costs, quality, and uptime. We are also continuing our focus to identify and prioritize needed 
asset sustainment in our manufacturing and engineering facilities. Operational excellence focus is essential to delivering 
on our commitment to enhance customer value.  

8

III.  Pursue Innovative Technology Solutions:  We plan to leverage our assets and capabilities to pursue innovative 

technology solutions for our customers.

•  New Technologies - We are well positioned to participate in the three emerging technology themes impacting the 

North American transportation industry. These include Advanced Driver Assistance Systems ("ADAS") autonomous 
driving, the digital supply chain, and electrification. We have emerging relationships with first movers in all of these 
areas. We have announced the planned introduction of the series of electric vehicles in the medium duty and school 
bus classes.

•  OnCommand Connection - The requirement to use Electronic Logging Devices ("ELDs") starting in the first 

quarter of fiscal 2018 is an opportunity for revenue growth. In addition to remote diagnostics, we have broadened our 
OCC offering to include cellular telematics, EDLs, and driver behavior.  OCC product investments in 2018 will focus 
on new service solutions and tools that will enhance our current offerings as well as differentiate the International 
brands. In addition, OCC is a ready-to-go alternative as a digital backbone for autonomous driving systems and 
supply chain digitization efforts.

IV.  Leverage the VW T&B Strategic Alliance:  The alliance is valuable to us across many areas.

•  Products and Technology - We and VW T&B have a similar vision of the role of technology, including the 

importance of driver-focused, open-architecture solutions. The alliance will be a source of powertrain options and 
other high-value technologies, including advanced driver assistance systems; connected vehicle solutions, including; 
platooning and autonomous technologies; electric vehicles; and cab and chassis subsystems. We plan to introduce a 
medium-duty vehicle electric powertrain in North America by late 2019 with our strategic partner, VW T&B.  We 
also expect to launch the IC Electric Bus chargE™ as early as 2019. 

•  Digital Brands - We are also collaborating on fully integrated, next generation diesel big bore powertrains and the 

convergence of our OCC and VW T&B's RIO digital brands.

•  Market Confidence - The strategic alliance with VW T&B solidifies us as a long-term player in North America.
•  Parts - The alliance creates new parts sales and growth opportunities afforded by vertically integrated systems.
•  Costs - The alliance leverages global scale to achieve significant cost reduction synergies, and drive more efficient 
research and development spend. To date, the alliance's procurement joint venture is delivering expected synergies.

V.  Enhance our Winning Culture: We will align our people strategy with our capabilities to ensure we have the skill sets, 
personnel and organizational structure necessary to take our business to the next level. We will advance a team-based 
organization, enhance collaborative work environments, and utilize visual management tools.  

VI.  Improve Financial Performance: Our financial performance continues to improve, due to savings from cost reduction 
actions and revenue growth.  The Class 6-8 truck industry has improved in the second half of 2017, a trend that is 
expected to continue in 2018.  We anticipate that 2018 will be a year of further revenue and earnings growth, combined 
with prudent investments to build a solid base for the longer-term. 

Our Operating Segments 

We operate in four industry segments: Truck, Parts, Global Operations (collectively referred to as "Manufacturing operations"), 
and Financial Services, which consists of NFC and our foreign finance operations (collectively referred to as "Financial 
Services operations"). Corporate contains those items that do not fit into our four segments. Selected financial data for each 
segment can be found in Note 14, Segment Reporting, to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. 

Truck Segment 

Our Truck segment manufactures and distributes Class 4 through 8 trucks, buses, and military vehicles under the International 
and IC brands, along with production of proprietary engines, primarily in the North America markets that include the U.S., 
Canada, and Mexico. Our Truck segment also includes our truck export business under the International and IC brands as well 
as products that support the military truck product lines. The proprietary engines produced in North America are primarily used 
in our trucks and buses. Our strategy is to deliver the highest quality commercial trucks, buses, and military vehicles. We 
continue to develop our expansion markets, which includes the exportation of our truck and bus products. The Truck segment is 
our largest operating segment based on total external sales and revenues. 

We compete primarily in our Core markets. The Truck segment's manufacturing operations in the U.S. and Mexico consist 
principally of assembling components manufactured by our suppliers, as well as designing, engineering, and producing certain 
sheet metal components, including truck cabs, and proprietary engines. In 2013, we began offering the Cummins ISX15 engine, 
as well as the Cummins Selective Catalytic Reduction ("SCR") after-treatment system on certain applications of our proprietary 
engines. 

9

In 2014, we began offering the Cummins ISB engine in medium and severe duty truck and bus applications, and in 2016, we 
began offering the Cummins ISL engine in our medium and severe duty trucks. The products we sell to the U.S. military are 
derivatives of our commercial vehicles and allow us to leverage our manufacturing and engineering expertise, utilize existing 
plants, and seamlessly integrate our engines into military vehicles. 

The Truck segment's manufacturing operations also include the production of diesel engines, which are primarily used in our 
trucks. The operations at the engine manufacturing facilities consist principally of the assembly of components manufactured 
by our suppliers, as well as machining operations relating to steel and grey-iron components. We market a portion of our 
commercial products directly to large fleets and the remainder through our extensive independent dealer network in North 
America, which offers a comprehensive range of services and other support functions to our end users. Our commercial trucks 
are distributed in virtually all key markets through our distribution and service network retail outlets, which is comprised of 
728 outlets in the U.S. and Canada and 87 outlets in Mexico, as of October 31, 2017, and our export truck operations, primarily 
in Latin America. We occasionally acquire and operate dealer locations ("Dealcors") for the purpose of transitioning ownership. 
As of October 31, 2017, we did not operate any Dealcors. In addition, our network of used truck centers and International 
certified used truck dealers in the U.S. and Canada provides trade-in support to our dealers and national accounts group, and 
markets all makes and models of reconditioned used trucks to owner-operators and fleet buyers.

The Truck business competes on many dimensions, including customer service, price, ease-of-doing-business, uptime, and 
parts availability. The markets in which the Truck segment competes are subject to considerable volatility and fluctuation in 
response to cycles in the overall business environment. These markets are particularly sensitive to the industrial sector, which 
generates a significant portion of the freight tonnage hauled. Government regulation has also impacted, and will continue to 
impact, trucking operations as well as the efficiency and specifications of trucking equipment. 

The Class 4 through 8 truck and bus markets in North America are highly competitive. Major U.S.-controlled domestic 
competitors include PACCAR Inc. ("PACCAR"), which sells vehicles under the Kenworth and Peterbilt nameplates in North 
America, and Ford Motor Company ("Ford"). Competing foreign-controlled domestic manufacturers include Freightliner and 
Western Star (both subsidiaries of Daimler-Benz AG ("Mercedes Benz")), Volvo and Mack (both subsidiaries of Volvo Global 
Trucks), and Hino (a subsidiary of Toyota Motor Corporation ("Toyota")). Major U.S. military vehicle competitors include 
BAE Systems, General Dynamics Land Systems, and Oshkosh Corporation. In addition, smaller, foreign-controlled market 
participants such as Isuzu Motors America, Inc. ("Isuzu"), UD Trucks North America (a subsidiary of AB Volvo ("UD 
Trucks")), and Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. ("Mitsubishi") are competing in the U.S. and Canadian truck markets 
with primarily imported products. In Mexico, the major domestic competitors are Kenmex (a subsidiary of PACCAR) and 
Freightliner. In our primary truck export market of Latin America, we compete with many truck manufacturers, including 
PACCAR, Freightliner, and Mack.

Parts Segment 

Our Parts segment supports our brands of International commercial trucks, IC buses, and proprietary engines, as well as our 
other product lines, by providing customers with proprietary products together with a wide selection of other standard truck, 
trailer, and engine service parts. We distribute service parts through the dealer network that supports our trucks and engines. 
The Parts segment is our second largest operating segment based on total external sales and revenues.

We believe our extensive dealer channel provides us with an advantage in serving our customers by having our parts available 
when and where our customers require service. Goods are delivered to our customers either through one of our eleven regional 
parts distribution centers operated out of North America, or through direct shipment from our suppliers. We have a dedicated 
parts sales team within North America, as well as national account teams focused on large fleet customers. We also serve our 
global markets through our dedicated export business which supports customers globally in Latin America, the Middle East, 
northern Africa, South Africa and Russia. In conjunction with the Truck sales and technical service group, we provide an 
integrated support team that works to find solutions to support our customers. 

The Parts business competes on many dimensions including customer service, price, ease-of-doing-business, and parts 
availability. We sell a substantial amount of all-make parts for light-, medium- and heavy-duty trucks ("All-Make parts"), which 
are common across OEM truck manufacturers. We sell remanufactured parts through our ReNEWed product line and private 
label products through our Fleetrite brand name. The dealers and fleets have multiple outlets to purchase All-Make parts 
including other OEMs (including but not limited to Freightliner, PACCAR, Mack and Volvo), independent distributors, and 
traditional retail outlets, including Fleetpride, TruckPro, and National Auto Parts Association ("Napa") Auto Parts. In addition, 
our Uptime Parts business sells RV parts from our legacy Monaco and Workhorse businesses directly to customers. We sell a 
wide-range of proprietary parts, and we are subject to varying degrees of competition for many of our proprietary parts from 
alternative parts-providers and independent remanufacturers. 

Also included in the Parts segment is our Blue Diamond Parts, LLC ("BDP") joint venture with Ford, which manages the 
sourcing, merchandising and distribution of certain service parts for North America Ford vehicles. Major competitors for our 
BDP joint venture include Alliant Power, Jasper Engine Transmissions, and Delphi Automotive.

10

Global Operations Segment 

Our Global Operations segment includes businesses that derive revenue from outside our Truck and Parts segments and 
primarily consisting of the operations of our wholly-owned subsidiary, IIAA. IIAA is a leader in the South American mid-range 
diesel engine market, manufacturing and distributing mid-range diesel engines and providing customers with additional engine 
offerings in the agriculture, marine, and light truck markets. Additionally, we also sell our engines to global OEMs for various 
on-and-off-road applications. We offer contract manufacturing services under IIAA's MWM brand to OEMs for the assembly 
of their engines, particularly in South America. As part of the Global Operations segment, IIAA has engine manufacturing 
operations in Argentina. The Global Operations segment is our third largest operating segment based on total external sales and 
revenues.

Our commercial products are marketed through our independent dealer network, which offers a comprehensive range of 
services and other support functions to our end users.

From time to time, we enter into collaborative strategic relationships that allow us to generate manufacturing efficiencies, 
economies of scale, and market growth opportunities. The Global Operations segment has a joint venture in China with Anhui 
Jianghuai Automobile Co ("JAC"), which allows us to further our reach to global markets. The joint venture focuses on 
meeting the emerging needs of the Chinese commercial truck market by providing JAC with access to our Euro IV and Euro V 
emission standard technologies. IIAA also has a commercial agreement with an Indian company, Mahindra Heavy Engines Ltd. 
(Mahindra), under which MWM engines (4.8L and 7.2L) are manufactured at a plant located in the Chakan Industrial Area - 
city of Pune/India. The engines produced at that plant are exclusively sold by MWM outside of the Indian market, providing a 
cost competitive export platform in support of the Asian markets.

In Brazil, IIAA's engines compete with Cummins, Mercedes Benz, and Fiat Powertrain ("FPT") in the light and medium truck 
markets; Mercedes Benz, Cummins, Scania, MAN, Volvo, and FPT in the heavy truck market; Mercedes Benz in the bus 
market; New Holland (a subsidiary of CNH Industrial N.V.), Sisu Diesel (a subsidiary of AGCO Corporation), and Deere & 
Company in the agricultural market; and Scania and Cummins in the stationary market.

Financial Services Segment 

Our Financial Services segment provides and manages retail, wholesale, and lease financing of products sold by the Truck and 
Parts segments and their dealers. We also finance wholesale and retail accounts receivable.  Substantially all revenues earned 
by the Financial Services segment are derived from supporting the sales of our vehicles and products. The Financial Services 
segment continues to meet the primary goal of providing and managing financing to our customers in U.S. and Mexico markets 
by providing or arranging cost-effective funding sources, while working to mitigate credit losses and impaired vehicle asset 
values. NFC provides wholesale financing for 100% of new truck inventory sold to our dealers and distributors in the U.S. 
through the customary free interest period offered by NI. At both October 31, 2017 and 2016, NFC retained floor plan 
financing for approximately 80% of the dealers after the expiration of any free interest period. The Financial Services segment 
also facilitates financing relationships in other countries to support our Manufacturing Operations.

The Financial Services segment manages the relationship with Navistar Capital, an alliance with BMO Financial Group and its 
wholly-owned subsidiary BMO Harris Bank N.A. (together, "BMO"), our third-party preferred source of retail and lease 
customer financing for equipment offered by us and our dealers in the U.S.  In addition, BMO provides financing to support the 
sale of our products in Canada ("Navistar Capital Canada"). 

Government Contracts 

As a U.S. government contractor, we are subject to specific regulations and requirements as mandated by our contracts. These 
regulations include Federal Acquisition Regulations, Defense Federal Acquisition Regulations, and the Code of Federal 
Regulations. We are also subject to routine audits and investigations by U.S. government agencies such as the Defense Contract 
Management Agency and Defense Contract Audit Agency. These agencies review and assess compliance with contractual 
requirements, cost structure, cost accounting, and applicable laws, regulations, and standards.

A portion of our existing U.S. government contracts extend over multiple years and are conditioned upon the continuing 
availability of congressional appropriations. In addition, our U.S. government contracts generally permit the contracting 
government agency to terminate the contract, in whole or in part, either for the convenience of the government or for default 
based on our failure to perform under the contract.

11

Engineering and Product Development 

Our engineering and product development programs are focused on new product introductions, enhancements of current 
products, quality improvements and continuous material cost-reductions across our truck and bus product lines.  We have 
shifted our investment focus from engine to truck by developing driver-centric designs with world class uptime and fuel 
economy that incorporates industry leading connected technologies utilizing Navistar’s OnCommand open architecture 
telematics solution. In 2017, we completed the launch of the LT™ and RH™ vehicles as well as the A26 12.4L diesel engine 
that leads the industry in fuel economy and is the lightest weight engine in its class.  Additionally, we introduced an updated 
International® LoneStar™ Series, the aerodynamic leader in the Advanced Classic segment, as well as the International® 
HV™ Series for the Class 8 Severe Service segment.  These product introductions are the continuation of the vehicle line 
overhaul which is the most significant product investment the Company has made in the last ten years.  During the first six 
months of 2018, we expect to complete the launch of the Horizon suite of vehicles with HV™ and MV™, an 8.0L gasoline 
engine in the CE Bus™, and finish the year with the launch of a brand new Class 4/5 vehicle in conjunction with General 
Motors.  Furthermore, we expect to complete the expansion of our powertrain offerings by finishing the implementation of the 
ISL engine in our medium and vocational products.  Navistar is investing in ADAS, connected technologies and electric 
vehicles, working with strategic suppliers and partners.  The alliance with VW T&B will further expand our capabilities in 
these areas.  

We participate in very competitive markets with more stringent regulatory requirements and faster technology adoptions, and 
we continue to believe that a strong commitment to engineering and product development is required to drive long-term 
growth. Our engineering and product development costs were $251 million in 2017, compared to $247 million in 2016 and 
$288 million in 2015. We expect that GHG phase 2 regulations announced in 2016 will drive significant investments in product 
development by us and our competitors.

Backlog

We define order backlogs ("backlogs") as orders yet to be built as of the end of the period. Our backlogs do not represent 
guarantees of purchases by customers or dealers and are subject to cancellation. 

The following table provides our worldwide backlog of unfilled truck orders as of October 31, 2017 and 2016:

Value

Production of our October 31, 2017 backlog is expected to be substantially completed during 2018.  The backlog of unfilled 
orders is one of many indicators of market demand; factors such as changes in production rates, internal and supplier available 
capacity, new product introductions, and competitive pricing actions may affect point-in-time comparisons.  

Employees 

As our business requirements change, fluctuations may occur within our workforce from year to year.  In 2017, our employee 
headcount was relatively stable compared to prior years. We carefully managed our attrition, approving the replacement of key 
positions that we believe are critical to sustaining the improved business performance seen in 2017. For more information, see 
Note 2, Restructurings and Impairments, to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

In 2017, we sold our Conway, Arkansas location, a components business focused on supplying parts to our Tulsa, Oklahoma 
bus plant. In addition, we announced the cessation of engine production at the Melrose Park Facility in the third quarter of 
fiscal 2018. In 2016, we sold Pure Power Technologies, LLC, a components business focused on air and fuel systems, and our 
engine and foundry facilities in Indianapolis, Indiana. In 2015, we sold our foundry operations in Waukesha, Wisconsin and 
closed our foundry in Indianapolis, Indiana. For more information, see Note 2, Restructurings and Impairments, to the 
accompanying consolidated financial statements.

The following tables summarize the number of employees worldwide as of the dates indicated and an additional subset of 
active union employees represented by the United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America

__________________ 
(A)  Employees are considered inactive in certain situations including disability leave, leave of absence, layoffs, and work stoppages. Included within inactive 
employees are approximately 300 employees and 200 employees as of October 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, represented by the National Automobile, 
Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of Canada ("CAW") at our Chatham, Ontario heavy truck plant, which was closed in 2011 due to an 
inability to reach a collective bargaining agreement with the CAW. For more information, see Note 2, Restructurings and Impairments, to the 
accompanying consolidated financial statements. 

See Item 1A, Risk Factors, for further discussion related to the risk associated with labor and work stoppages. 

Patents and Trademarks 

We seek and obtain patents on our inventions and own a significant patent portfolio. Additionally, many of the components we 
purchase for our products are protected by patents that are owned or controlled by the component manufacturer. We license 
third-party patents for the manufacture of our products and also grant licenses of our patents. The monetary royalties paid or 
received under these licenses are not material.

Our primary trademarks are an important part of our worldwide sales and marketing efforts and provide clear identification of 
our products and services in the marketplace. To support these efforts, we maintain, or have pending, registrations of our 
primary trademarks in those countries in which we do business or expect to do business. We grant licenses under our 
trademarks for consumer-oriented goods, such as toy trucks and apparel, outside the product lines that we manufacture. The 
monetary royalties received under these licenses are not material.

Supply 

We purchase raw materials, parts, and manufactured components from numerous third-party suppliers. To avoid duplicate 
tooling expenses and to maximize volume benefits, single-source suppliers fill a majority of our requirements for parts and 
manufactured components. Some parts and manufactured components are generic to the industry while others are of a 
proprietary design requiring unique tooling, which require additional effort to relocate. However, we believe our exposure to a 
disruption in production as a result of an interruption of raw materials and supplies is no greater than the industry as a whole. 

Our costs for trucks and parts sold consist primarily of material costs which are influenced by commodities prices such as steel, 
precious metals, resins, and petroleum products. We continue to look for opportunities to mitigate the effects of market-based 
commodity cost increases through a combination of design changes, material substitution, alternate supplier resourcing, global 
sourcing efforts, and hedging activities. The objective of this strategy is to ensure cost stability and competitiveness in an often 
volatile global marketplace. Generally, the impact of commodity cost fluctuations in the global market will be reflected in our 
financial results on a delayed basis, depending on many factors including the terms of supplier contracts, special pricing 
arrangements, and any commodity hedging strategies employed.

Impact of Government Regulation 

Truck and engine manufacturers continue to face significant governmental regulation of their products, especially in the areas 
of environmental and safety matters. On-highway emissions standards commenced in the U.S. on January 1, 2007, which 
reduced allowable particulate matter and oxides of nitrogen ("NOx") and have reached the last phase-in period effective with 
engine model year 2010. Meeting these emissions standards resulted in a significant increase in the cost of our products.

In 2010, the initial phase-in of onboard diagnostic ("OBD") requirements commenced for the initial family of truck engines and 
those products have been certified. The phase-in for the remaining engine families occurred in 2013. Canadian heavy-duty 
engine emissions regulations essentially mirror those of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA"). In Mexico, we 
offer EPA 2004 and Euro IV engines that comply with current standards in that country. Mexico is lowering NOx emission 
standards in 2019 and 2021 to Euro V and VI levels, respectively. Navistar Heavy Duty Diesel ("HDD") engines meet the 
EURO V and VI with current controls technology.

13

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Truck manufacturers are also subject to various noise standards imposed by federal, state, and local regulations. As the engine 
is one of a truck's primary sources of noise, we invest a great deal of effort to develop strategies to reduce engine noise. We are 
also subject to the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act ("Safety Act") and Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards 
("Safety Standards") promulgated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration ("NHTSA").

Government regulation related to climate change is under consideration at the U.S. federal and state levels. Because our 
products use fossil fuels, they may be impacted indirectly due to regulation, such as a cap and trade program, affecting the cost 
of fuels. The EPA and the NHTSA issued final rules for GHG emissions and fuel economy on September 15, 2011. These 
began to apply in calendar year 2014 and were fully implemented in model year 2017. The agencies' stated goals for these rules 
were to increase the use of currently existing technologies. We are complying with these rules through use of existing 
technologies and implementation of emerging technologies as they become available. The EPA and NHTSA adopted a final rule 
on October 25, 2016 with the second phase of federal GHG emission and fuel economy regulations. This rule contains 
significantly more stringent emissions levels for engines and vehicles, which will require substantial investments of capital. The 
rule will take effect in model year 2021 and be implemented in three stages culminating in model year 2027. We continue to 
assess the impact of the rule on us and our stakeholders as we develop our product planning for that period.

Canada adopted its version of fuel economy and GHG emission regulations in February 2013. These regulations are 
substantially aligned with U.S. fuel economy and GHG emission regulations. Canada has announced it also is considering a 
heavy duty phase 2 GHG rulemaking aligned with EPA and NHTSA phase 2 rules.

In December 2014, California adopted GHG emission rules for heavy duty vehicles equivalent to EPA rules and an optional 
lower emission standard for NOx in California. California has stated its intention to lower NOx standards for California-
certified engines and has also requested that the EPA lower its standards. In June 2016, several regional air quality management 
districts in California and other states, as well as the environmental agencies for several states, petitioned the EPA to adopt 
lower NOx emission standards for on-road heavy duty trucks and engines. In addition to lower NOx, EPA and the California 
Air Resources Board ("CARB") may consider other actions, including extending emission warranty periods. California is 
currently considering regulatory requirements to expand the zero emissions truck market, including the mandated sale of 
certain vehicles. We expect that heavy duty vehicle and engine fuel economy and GHG emissions rules will be under 
consideration in other global jurisdictions in the future. These standards will require significant investments of capital, will 
significantly increase costs of development for engines and vehicles, and will require us to incur administrative costs arising 
from implementation of the standards.

The EPA also issued a final rule in October 2015 that lowered the National Ambient Air Quality Standard for ozone to 70 parts 
per billion. This rule could lead to future lower emission standards for substances that contribute to ozone, including NOx from 
vehicles, at the federal and state levels.

Our facilities may be subject to regulation related to climate change, and climate change itself may also have some impact on 
our operations. However, these impacts are currently uncertain and we cannot predict the nature and scope of those impacts.

Item 1A. 

Risk Factors

Our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows are subject to various risks, many of which are not exclusively 
within our control, which may cause actual performance to differ materially from historical or projected future performance. 
We have in place an Enterprise Risk Management ("ERM") process that involves systematic risk identification and mitigation 
covering the categories of Strategic, Financial, Operational, and Compliance risk. The goal of ERM is not to eliminate all risk, 
but rather to identify and assess risks; assign, mitigate and monitor risks; and report the status of our risks to the Management 
Risk Committee and the Board of Directors and its committees. The risks described below could materially and adversely affect 
our business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

We may not realize sufficient acceptance of our products in the marketplace in order to achieve our goal of regaining 
market share.

Key elements of our operating strategy are to focus on our Core markets and regain market share following the transition from 
our Advanced Exhaust Gas Recirculation ("EGR") only engine technology to a SCR engine technology and to pursue 
innovative technologies. Our success in regaining market share depends in part on our ability to achieve market acceptance of 
our existing and new products and to adapt to the swiftly emerging technologies which meet our customers' evolving needs. 
The extent to which, and the rate at which, we achieve market acceptance and penetration of our current and future products is 
a function of many variables including, but not limited to: price, safety, efficacy, reliability, conversion costs, competitive 
pressures, regulatory approvals, marketing and sales efforts, residual values, and general economic conditions affecting 
purchasing patterns.  Any failure to gain and retain market share could have an adverse effect on our business, liquidity, results 
of operations and financial condition.

We operate in the highly competitive North American truck market and the markets in which we compete are subject to 
considerable cyclicality.

The North American truck market in which we operate is highly competitive.  As a result, we and other manufacturers face 
competitive pricing and margin pressures that could adversely affect our ability to increase or maintain vehicle prices. Many of 
our competitors have greater financial resources, which may place us at a competitive disadvantage in responding to substantial 
industry changes, such as changes in governmental regulations that require major additional capital expenditures. In addition, 
certain of our competitors may have a lower overall cost structure.

Our ability to be profitable depends in part on the varying conditions in the truck, bus, mid-range diesel engine, and service 
parts markets, which are subject to cycles in the overall business environment and are particularly sensitive to the industrial 
sector, which generates a significant portion of the freight tonnage hauled. Truck and engine demand is also dependent on 
general economic conditions, interest rate levels and fuel costs, among other external factors.

Our used truck inventory could adversely affect our financial condition, working capital and market share.

We face intense competition not only with our new and Core products, but also with sales of our used truck inventory. During 
2017, our gross used truck inventory decreased to approximately $206 million from $410 million in 2016, offset by reserves of 
$110 million and $208 million, respectively, due in part, to a decrease in used truck receipts and an increase in used truck sales. 
We have incurred significant charges related to our used truck inventory in recent years. If the market value of our used trucks 
decreases, we could incur additional write-downs beyond our existing reserves.  If we are unable to sell our used truck 
inventory in a timely manner and at a reasonable selling price, our working capital and our ability to gain and retain market 
share may be adversely affected.

Our business has significant liquidity requirements, and our recent operating results have had an adverse impact on our 
liquidity position.

Our business has significant liquidity requirements, and our operating results over the last several years have had an adverse 
impact on our liquidity position. We believe that in the absence of significant extraordinary cash demands, our: (i) level of cash, 
cash equivalents, and marketable securities, (ii) current and forecasted cash flow from our Manufacturing operations and 
Financial Services operations, (iii) availability under various funding facilities, (iv) current and forecasted availability from 
various funding alliances, and (v) access to capital in the capital markets will provide sufficient funds to meet operating 

16

requirements, capital expenditures, investments, and financial obligations on both a short-term and long-term basis. Significant 
assumptions underlie our beliefs with respect to our liquidity position, including, among other things, assumptions relating to 
North American truck volumes for 2018, the continuing availability of trade credit from certain key suppliers, the ability to gain 
and retain market share and the absence of material adverse developments in our competitive market position, access to the 
capital markets or capital requirements. As a result, we cannot assure you that we will continue to have sufficient liquidity to 
meet our operating needs. In the event that we do not have sufficient liquidity, we may be required to seek additional capital, 
sell assets, reduce or cut back our operating activities or otherwise alter our business strategy.

Our substantial indebtedness could adversely affect our financial condition, cash flow, and operating flexibility.

Our significant amount of outstanding indebtedness and the covenants contained in our debt agreements could have important 
consequences for our operations. The terms of certain of our agreements limit our ability to obtain additional debt financing to 
fund future working capital, acquisitions, capital expenditures, engineering and product development costs, and other general 
corporate requirements; however, due to the recent refinancing transactions and amendments, we have additional incremental 
debt financing capacity as compared to the restrictions contained in our previous debt agreements. Other consequences for our 
operations could include:

• 

• 

• 

• 

increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;

limiting our ability to use operating cash flow in other areas of our business because we must dedicate a portion of these 
funds to make significant interest payments on our indebtedness;

limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate;

limiting our ability to take advantage of business opportunities as a result of various restrictive covenants in our debt 
agreements; and

•  placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt and/or less restrictive debt 

covenants.

Our ability to make required payments of principal and interest on our debt will depend on our future performance and the 
other cash requirements of our business. Our performance, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, political, 
financial, competitive, and other factors that are beyond our control. We cannot provide any assurance that our business will 
generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that future borrowings will be available under certain of our debt agreements 
in an amount sufficient to enable us to service our indebtedness.

Our debt agreements contain certain restrictive covenants and customary events of default. These restrictive covenants limit our 
ability to take certain actions, such as, among other things: make restricted payments; incur additional debt and issue preferred 
or disqualified stock; create liens; create or permit to exist restrictions on our ability or the ability of our restricted subsidiaries 
to make certain payments or distributions; engage in sale-leaseback transactions; engage in mergers or consolidations or 
transfer all or substantially all of our assets; designate restricted and unrestricted subsidiaries; make certain dispositions and 
transfers of assets; limit the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to make distributions; enter into transactions with affiliates; and 
guarantee indebtedness. One or more of these restrictive covenants may limit our ability to execute our preferred business 
strategy, take advantage of business opportunities, or react to changing industry conditions. However, the recent refinancing 
transactions that closed in November 2017 (as discussed below) increase our flexibility in certain of the areas described above.

Upon an event of default, if not waived by our lenders, our lenders may declare all amounts outstanding as due and payable, 
which may cause cross-defaults under our other debt obligations. If our current lenders accelerate the maturity of our 
indebtedness, we may not have sufficient capital available at that time to pay the amounts due to our lenders on a timely basis, 
and there is no guarantee that we would be able to repay, refinance, or restructure the payments on such debt. Further, under our 
senior secured, term loan credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1.6 billion, which was refinanced in November 
2017 (the "Term Loan Credit Agreement") and our amended and restated asset-based credit agreement in an aggregate principal 
amount of $125 million (the "Amended and Restated Asset-Based Credit Facility"), the lenders would have the right to 
foreclose on certain of our assets, which could have a material adverse effect on our Company.

Upon the occurrence of a "change of control" as specified in each of the principal debt agreements of our Manufacturing 
operations, we are required to offer to repurchase or repay such indebtedness. Under these agreements, a "change of control" is 
generally defined to include, among other things: (a) the acquisition by a person or group of at least 35 percent of our common 
stock, or, in the case of our 4.50% senior subordinated convertible notes due October 2018 (the "2018 Convertible Notes") and 
4.75% senior subordinated convertible notes due April 2019 (the "2019 Convertible Notes"), 50 percent of our common stock, 
(b) a merger or consolidation in which holders of our common stock own less than a majority of the equity in the resulting 
entity, or (c) replacement of a majority of the members of our Board of Directors by persons who were not nominated by our 
current directors. Under our Amended and Restated Asset-Based Credit Facility and our Term Loan Credit Agreement, a 
change in control would result in an immediate event of default, which would allow our lenders to accelerate the debt owed to 

17

them. Under the indentures or loan agreements for our debt securities, we may be required to offer to purchase the outstanding 
notes under such indentures at a premium upon a change in control. In any such event, we may not have sufficient funds 
available to repay amounts outstanding under these agreements, which may also cause cross-defaults under our other debt 
obligations. Further, under our Amended and Restated Asset-Based Credit Facility and our Term Loan Credit Agreement, the 
lenders could have the right to foreclose on certain of our assets, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial 
position and results of operations.

Past and potential downgrades in our debt ratings may adversely affect our liquidity, competitive position and access to 
capital markets.

The major debt-rating agencies routinely evaluate and rate our debt according to a number of factors, among which are our 
perceived financial strength and our ability to recapture market share. In October and November 2017, S&P, Moody’s and Fitch 
reaffirmed our corporate rating and the ratings of all of our securities except for the Recovery Zone Facility Revenue Bonds 
(the "Tax Exempt Bonds"). The ratings of the Tax Exempt Bonds were increased due to the bonds being secured by a junior 
lien. However, the rating agencies have noted concerns with respect to our high levels of debt and our ability to generate 
positive cash flow and positive free cash flow. Any downgrade in our credit ratings and any resulting negative publicity could 
adversely affect our continued access to trade credit on customary terms as well as our ability to access capital in the future 
under acceptable terms and conditions.

Our ability to execute our strategy is dependent upon our ability to attract, train and retain qualified personnel.

Our continued success depends, in large part, on our ability to identify, attract, develop, motivate and retain qualified 
employees in key functions and geographic areas. We have significant operations in foreign countries, including Canada, 
Mexico and Brazil, and, to effectively manage our global operations, we will need to engage our workforce around the world 
throughout their entire employee lifecycle.

In prior years we experienced the loss of certain personnel in connection with our reductions-in-force and voluntary separation 
programs.  In the wake of those losses, we achieved a leaner and targeted workforce while reducing and controlling costs.  
However, the need to focus on engaging our workforce throughout the employee life cycle and creating sustained high 
performance remains a critical focus for our organization.  Failure to do so could impair our ability to execute our business 
strategy and could have an adverse effect on our business prospects.

Our parts business may be negatively impacted by our engine strategy.

As a result of our decision to use third party engines in some of our products and declining units in operation due to lower 
market share in recent years, we expect to experience a decline over time in our engine-related parts business revenue.  In 
addition, our agreement to supply diesel engines to Ford in North America ended in December 2009.  A primary business 
purpose of BDP is to supply aftermarket parts supporting the diesel engines supplied to Ford.  We have experienced declines in 
BDP’s engine-related parts sales and profitability, and we expect to see further declines as the diesel engines transition out of 
service in the future.

There is inherent uncertainty in warranty estimates that may affect our operating results and cash flow. 

Warranty estimates are established using historical information about the nature, frequency, timing, and average cost of 
warranty claims. However, warranty claims inherently have a high amount of variability in timing and severity and can be 
influenced by many external factors.  We accrue warranty related costs under standard warranty terms for the trucks and 
engines that we manufacture.  We also accrue warranty related costs for certain claims made outside the contractual obligation 
period as accommodations to our customers. In addition, with respect to our optional extended warranty contracts, we 
recognize losses on defined pools of extended warranty contracts when the expected costs for a given pool of contracts exceeds 
the related unearned revenues.

We have substantially reduced the number of our engine offerings which has reduced our new product warranty accruals and 
potentially reduces the warranty exposure associated with engine specific service contracts over time.

In 2016 and 2017, we refreshed our truck model line-up and introduced a new big bore 13L engine under the A26 brand.  
Historically, warranty claims in product launch years have been higher compared to prior model years. We continue to refine 
the design and manufacturing processes to reduce the volume and severity of warranty claims.  We may incur additional 
charges for recalls and field campaigns to address issues as we identify opportunities to improve the design, efficiency, and 
manufacturing of our products. These charges could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and 
cash flows.

18

We may discover defects or other issues in vehicles potentially resulting in delays in new model launches, recall campaigns, 
or increased warranty costs.

Meeting or exceeding many government-mandated safety standards is costly and often technologically challenging, especially 
where two or more government-mandated standards may conflict. Government safety standards require manufacturers to 
remedy defects related to motor vehicle safety through safety recall campaigns, and a manufacturer is obligated to recall 
vehicles if it determines that they do not comply with a safety standard. In addition, we may decide to take action with respect 
to a product issue not related to safety.  Should we or government safety regulators determine that a safety standard 
noncompliance, safety-related defect or other product issue exists with respect to certain types of our vehicles, there could be a 
delay in the launch of a new model or a significant increase in warranty claims or a recall for existing models, the costs of 
which could be substantial.

Additionally, if we experience failure in some of our emissions components and the emission component defect rates of our 
engines exceed a certain level set by CARB and the EPA, those engines may be subject to corrective actions by these agencies, 
which may include extending the warranties of those engines. This could increase exposure beyond the stated warranty period 
to the relevant regulatory useful life of the engine, and these actions could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, 
results of operations and cash flows.

We could incur restructuring and impairment charges as we continue to evaluate our portfolio of assets and identify 
opportunities to restructure our business and rationalize our Manufacturing operations in an effort to optimize our cost 
structure.

We continue to evaluate our portfolio of assets in order to validate their strategic and financial fit. To allow us to increase our 
focus on our North American core business, we are evaluating product lines, businesses, and engineering programs that fall 
outside of our core business. We are assessing the strategic fit to our core business, to identify areas that are under-performing 
and/or non-strategic. For under-performing and non-strategic areas, we are evaluating whether to fix, divest, or close those 
areas. In addition, we are evaluating opportunities to restructure our business and rationalize our Manufacturing operations in 
an effort to optimize our cost structure. These actions could result in restructuring and related charges, including but not limited 
to asset impairments, employee termination costs, charges for pension and other postretirement contractual benefits, potential 
additional pension funding obligations, and pension curtailments, any of which could be significant, and could adversely affect 
our financial condition and results of operations.

We have substantial amounts of long-lived assets, including goodwill and intangible assets, which are subject to periodic 
impairment analysis and review. Identifying and assessing whether impairment indicators exist, or if events or changes in 
circumstances have occurred, including market conditions, operating results, competition, and general economic conditions, 
requires significant judgment.  Declines in profitability due to changes in volume, market pricing, cost, or the business 
environment could result in charges that could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Our Manufacturing operations are dependent upon third-party suppliers, including, in certain cases, single-source 
suppliers, making us vulnerable to supply shortages.

We obtain raw materials, parts and manufactured components from third-party suppliers. Any delay in receiving supplies could 
impair our ability to deliver products to our customers and, accordingly, could have an adverse effect on our business, financial 
condition, results of operations, and cash flows. The volatility in the financial markets and uncertainty in the automotive sector 
could result in exposure related to the financial viability of certain of our key third-party suppliers. Suppliers may also exit 
certain business lines, causing us to find other suppliers for materials or components and potentially delaying our ability to 
deliver products to customers, or our suppliers may change the terms on which they are willing to provide products to us, any 
of which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, many of our suppliers have 
unionized workforces that could be subject to work stoppages as a result of labor relations issues. Some of our suppliers are the 
sole source for a particular supply item (e.g., the majority of engines, parts and manufactured components) and cannot be 
quickly or inexpensively re-sourced to another supplier due to long lead times and contractual commitments that might be 
required by another supplier in order to provide the component or materials. In addition to the risks described above regarding 
interruption of supplies, which are exacerbated in the case of single-source suppliers, the exclusive supplier of a key component 
potentially could exert significant bargaining power over price, quality, warranty claims or other terms relating to a component.

We are exposed to, and may be adversely affected by, interruptions to our computer and information technology systems and 
sophisticated cyber-attacks.

We rely on our information technology systems and networks in connection with many of our business activities. Some of these 
networks and systems are managed by third-party service providers and are not under our direct control. Our operations 
routinely involve receiving, storing, processing and transmitting sensitive information pertaining to our business, customers, 
dealers, suppliers, employees and other sensitive matters.  As with most companies, we have experienced cyber-attacks, 

19

attempts to breach our systems and other similar incidents, none of which have been material. Any future cyber incidents could, 
however, materially disrupt operational systems; result in loss of trade secrets or other proprietary or competitively sensitive 
information; compromise personally identifiable information regarding customers or employees; and jeopardize the security of 
our facilities.  A cyber incident could be caused by malicious outsiders using sophisticated methods to circumvent firewalls, 
encryption and other security defenses.  Because techniques used to obtain unauthorized access or to sabotage systems change 
frequently and generally are not recognized until they are launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate these 
techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures.  Information technology security threats, including security 
breaches, computer malware and other cyber-attacks are increasing in both frequency and sophistication and could create 
financial liability, subject us to legal or regulatory sanctions or damage our reputation with customers, dealers, suppliers and 
other stakeholders. We continuously seek to maintain a robust program of information security and controls, but the impact of a 
material information technology event could have a material adverse effect on our competitive position, reputation, results of 
operations, financial condition and cash flows.

We have significant under-funded postretirement obligations.

On a U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") basis, the under-funded portion of our projected benefit 
obligation was $1.4 billion and $1.7 billion for pension benefits at October 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $1.1 billion 
and $1.4 billion for postretirement healthcare benefits at October 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. In calculating these amounts, 
we have assumed certain mortality rates, interest rates and growth rates of retiree medical costs. The fair value of invested 
assets held in our postretirement benefit plans are measured at October 31 each year and are used to compute funded status. 
Future mortality assumption changes and growth rates of retiree medical costs actually experienced by the postretirement 
benefit plans, as well as reductions in interest rates and the investment performance of the assets, could have an adverse impact 
on our under-funded postretirement obligations, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

The continued restructuring and rationalization of our business could also accelerate our pension funding obligations under the 
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA").  The volatility in the financial markets affects the 
valuation of our pension assets and liabilities, resulting in potentially higher pension costs and higher levels of under-funding in 
future periods. The requirements set forth in ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "IRC"), as 
applicable to our U.S. pension plans (including timing requirements) mandated by the Pension Protection Act of 2006 (the 
"PPA") to fully fund our U.S. pension plans, net of any current or possible future legislative or governmental agency relief, 
could also have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows even though the 
pension funding relief legislation, Preservation of Access to Care for Medicare Beneficiaries and Pension Relief Act of 2010, 
the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act ("MAP-21 Act") and the Highway and Transportation Funding Act of 
2014 ("HATFA") and the Bi-Partisan Budget Act of 2015, will reduce our funding requirements over the next five years.

Implementation of our emissions strategy, federal regulations and fuel economy rules may increase costs.

Recent and future changes to on-highway emissions or performance standards (including fuel efficiency, noise, and safety), as 
well as compliance with additional environmental requirements, are expected to continue to add to the cost of our products and 
increase the engineering and product development programs of our business. Implementation of our emissions strategy is 
ongoing and we may experience increased costs or compliance or timing risks as we continue implementation of OBD systems 
requirements as they phase in and manage GHG emission credit balances. The EPA, the U.S. Department of Transportation and 
the government of Canada have issued final rules on GHG emissions and fuel economy for medium and heavy duty vehicles 
and engines. The emission standards establish required minimum fuel economy and GHG emissions levels for both engines and 
vehicles primarily through the increased use of existing technology. The rules, which apply to our engines and vehicles, 
initially required EPA certification for vehicles and engines to GHG emissions standards in calendar year 2014 and were fully 
implemented in model year 2017. EPA and NHTSA adopted a second phase of GHG emissions reductions that will apply in 
three emission standards beginning in model year 2021 and culminating in model year 2027. These reduce emission levels for 
engines and vehicles. In addition, California has adopted GHG emissions standards for heavy duty vehicles and engines, stated 
its intention to lower NOx standards for California certified engines and requested EPA to lower NOx emission standards as 
well. In addition to lower NOx, EPA and California may consider other actions, including extending warranty periods and 
expanding the zero emission truck market. 

These standards will require significant investments of capital, will significantly increase costs of development for engines and 
vehicles, and will require us to incur administrative costs arising from implementation of the standards.  These regulatory 
proposals under consideration or those that are proposed in the future may set standards that are difficult to achieve or 
adversely affect our results of operations due to increased research, development, and warranty costs.

20

Our business may be adversely impacted by work stoppages and other labor relations matters.

We are subject to risk of work stoppages and other labor relations matters because a significant portion of our workforce is 
unionized.  As of October 31, 2017, approximately 6,500 of our hourly workers and approximately 800 of our salaried workers 
were represented by labor unions and were covered by collective bargaining agreements. Many of these agreements include 
provisions that limit our ability to realize cost savings from restructuring initiatives such as plant closings and reductions in 
workforce. In February 2015, our UAW represented employees ratified a new four-year labor agreement that replaced the prior 
contract that expired in October 2014. Any strikes, threats of strikes, arbitration or other resistance in connection with the 
negotiation of new labor agreements, or increases in costs under a newly negotiated labor agreement, could adversely affect our 
business as well as impair our ability to implement further measures to reduce structural costs and improve production 
efficiencies. A lengthy strike that involves a significant portion of our manufacturing facilities could have an adverse effect on 
our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

We are involved in pending litigation, and an adverse resolution of such litigation may adversely affect our business, 
financial condition, and results of operations and cash flows.

Litigation can be expensive, lengthy, and disruptive to normal business operations. The results of complex legal proceedings 
are often uncertain and difficult to predict. An unfavorable outcome of a particular matter described in our periodic filings or 
any future legal proceedings could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations or cash 
flows.

We are currently involved in a number of pending litigation matters. For additional information regarding certain lawsuits in 
which we are involved, see Note 13, Commitments and Contingencies, to our consolidated financial statements.

A small number of our stockholders have significant influence over our Board of Directors.

In October 2012, we entered into settlement agreements with two of our significant stockholders, Carl C. Icahn and several 
entities controlled by him (collectively, the "Icahn Group") and Mark H. Rachesky, MD, and several entities controlled by him 
(collectively, the "MHR Group") pursuant to which the Icahn Group and the MHR Group each had one representative 
appointed to our Board of Directors, and together the Icahn Group and the MHR Group mutually agreed upon a third 
representative appointed to our Board of Directors. In July 2013, we entered into amended settlement agreements with the 
Icahn Group and the MHR Group pursuant to which the Icahn Group and the MHR group each had two representatives 
nominated for election as directors at our 2014 annual meeting, and each has continued to have two representatives nominated 
for election each year. On September 5, 2016, we entered into a Stockholder Agreement with VW T&B which, among other 
things, provides for the appointment of two individuals designated by VW T&B to our Board of Directors, subject to our 
approval, and on February 28, 2017, we appointed the two individuals designated by VW T&B to our Board of Directors. As of 
October 31, 2017, based on filings made with the SEC and other information made available to us as of that date, we believe 
that: (i) the Icahn Group held approximately 16.7 million shares, or 17% of our outstanding common stock, (ii) the MHR 
Group held approximately 16.3 million shares, or 16.5% of our outstanding common stock, (iii) VW T&B held approximately 
16.6 million shares, or 16.9% of our outstanding common stock, (iv) the Icahn Group, the MHR Group, VW T&B, and three 
other stockholders, collectively hold approximately 74% of our outstanding common stock.

As a result of the foregoing, these stockholders are able to exercise significant influence over the election of our Board of 
Directors as well as matters requiring stockholder approval. Further, this concentration of ownership may adversely affect the 
market price of our common stock.

Provisions in our charter and by-laws, and Delaware law could delay and discourage takeover attempts that stockholders 
may consider favorable.

Certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation and by-laws, and applicable provisions of Delaware corporate law, may 
make it more difficult for a third party to acquire control of us or change our Board of Directors and management, or may 
prevent such acquisition or change. These provisions include:

• 

the ability of our Board of Directors to issue so-called "flexible" preferred stock; 

•  a provision for any vacancies on our Board of Directors to be filled only by the remaining directors; 

• 

the inability of stockholders to act by written consent or call special meetings; 

•  advance notice procedures for stockholder proposals to be brought before an annual meeting of our stockholders; and

•  Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which generally restricts us from engaging in certain business 
combinations with a person who acquires 15% or more of our common stock for a period of three years from the date 
such person acquired such common stock, unless stockholder or Board approval is obtained prior to the acquisition

21

The foregoing provisions may adversely affect the marketability of our common stock by discouraging potential investors from 
acquiring our stock. In addition, these provisions could delay or frustrate the removal of incumbent directors and could make 
more difficult a merger, tender offer or proxy contest involving us, or impede an attempt to acquire a significant or controlling 
interest in us, even if such events might be beneficial to us and our stockholders.

We must comply with numerous federal security laws, procurement regulations, and procedures, as well as the rules and 
regulations of foreign jurisdictions, and our failure to comply could adversely affect our business.

We must observe laws and regulations relating to the formation, administration and performance of federal government 
contracts that affect how we do business with our clients and impose added costs on our business. For example, the Federal 
Acquisition Regulations, Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement, foreign government procurement regulations 
and the industrial security regulations of the Department of Defense and related laws include provisions that:

•  allow our government clients to terminate or not renew our contracts if we come under foreign ownership, control or 

influence; 

•  allow our government clients to terminate existing contracts for the convenience of the government; 

• 

• 

require us to prevent unauthorized access to classified information; and 

require us to comply with laws and regulations intended to promote various social or economic goals. 

We are subject to industrial security regulations of the U.S. Departments of State, Commerce and Defense and other federal 
agencies that are designed to safeguard against foreigners' access to classified or restricted information. Similarly, our 
international operations are subject to the rules and regulations of foreign jurisdictions. If we were to come under foreign 
ownership, control or influence, we could lose our facility security clearances, which could result in our federal government 
clients terminating or deciding not to renew our contracts and could impair our ability to obtain new contracts.

A failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations, policies or procedures, including federal regulations regarding the 
procurement of goods and services and protection of classified information, could result in contract termination, loss of security 
clearances, suspension or debarment from contracting with the federal government, civil fines and damages and criminal 
prosecution and penalties, any of which could adversely affect our business.

Our products are subject to export limitations and we may be prevented from shipping our products to certain nations or 
buyers.

We are subject to federal licensing requirements with respect to the sale and support in foreign countries of certain of our 
products and the exporting of components for our products in foreign countries. In addition, we are obligated to comply with a 
variety of federal, state and local laws and regulations as well as procurement policies, both domestically and abroad, 
governing certain aspects of our international sales and support, including regulations promulgated by, among others, the U.S. 
Departments of Commerce, Defense, State and Justice.

Such licenses may be denied for reasons of U.S. national security or foreign policy. In the case of certain large orders for 
exports of defense equipment, the Department of State must notify Congress at least 15 to 30 days, depending on the size and 
location of the sale, prior to authorizing certain sales of defense equipment and services to foreign governments. During that 
time, Congress may take action to block the proposed sale. We can give no assurances that we will continue to be successful in 
obtaining the necessary licenses or authorizations or that Congress will not prevent or delay certain sales. Any significant 
impairment of our ability to sell products outside of the U.S. could negatively impact our financial condition, results of 
operations and cash flows.

For products and technology exported from the U.S. or otherwise subject to U.S. jurisdiction, we are subject to U.S. laws and 
regulations governing international trade and exports, including, but not limited to, International Traffic in Arms Regulations, 
Export Administration Regulations, the Foreign Military Sales program and trade sanctions against embargoed countries, and 
destinations administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control, U.S. Department of the Treasury. A determination by the 
U.S. government that we have failed to comply with one or more of these export controls or trade sanctions could result in civil 
or criminal penalties, including the imposition of significant fines, denial of export privileges, loss of revenues from certain 
customers, and debarment from participation in U.S. government contracts.

We are subject to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (the "FCPA") and other laws which prohibit improper payments to foreign 
governments and their officials by U.S. and other business entities. We operate in countries known to experience corruption. 
Our operations in such countries create the risk of an unauthorized payment by one of our employees or agents that could be in 
violation of various laws including the FCPA.

Additionally, the failure to obtain applicable governmental licenses, clearances, or approvals could adversely affect our ability 
to continue to service the government contracts we maintain. Exports of some of our products to certain international 

22

destinations may require shipment authorization from U.S. export control authorities, including the U.S. Departments of 
Commerce and State, and authorizations may be conditioned on end-use restrictions.

Our international business is also highly sensitive to changes in foreign national priorities and government budgets. Sales of 
military products are affected by defense budgets (both in the U.S. and abroad) and U.S. foreign policy.

Our operations are subject to environmental, health and safety laws and regulations that could result in liabilities to us.

Our operations are subject to environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, including those governing discharges to air 
and water; the management and disposal of hazardous substances; the cleanup of contaminated sites; and health and safety 
matters. We could incur material costs, including cleanup costs, civil and criminal fines, penalties and third-party claims for 
cost recovery, property damage or personal injury as a result of violations of or liabilities under such laws and regulations. 
Contamination has been identified at and in the vicinity of some of our current and former properties and at properties which 
received wastes from current or former Company locations for which we have established financial reserves. The ultimate cost 
of remediating contaminated sites is difficult to accurately predict and could exceed our current estimates. In addition, as 
environmental, health, and safety laws and regulations have tended to become stricter, we could incur additional costs 
complying with requirements that are promulgated in the future. These include climate change regulation, which could increase 
the cost of operations through increased energy costs.

We may not achieve all of the expected benefits from our cost saving initiatives.

We have implemented a number of cost saving initiatives, including the consolidation of our North American truck and engine 
engineering operations, continued reductions in discretionary spending, and employee headcount reductions. In addition, we 
continue to evaluate additional options to improve the efficiency and performance of our operations. This includes evaluating 
our portfolio of assets, which could include closing or divesting non-core/non-strategic businesses, and identifying 
opportunities to restructure our business and rationalize our Manufacturing operations in an effort to optimize our cost 
structure. We have made certain assumptions in estimating the anticipated impact of our cost saving initiatives, which include 
the estimated savings from the elimination of certain open positions. These assumptions may turn out to be incorrect due to a 
variety of factors. In addition, our ability to realize the expected benefits from these initiatives is subject to significant business, 
economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control. Some of our cost saving 
measures may not have the impact on our profitability that we currently project or we may not be able to sustain the savings. If 
we are unsuccessful in implementing these initiatives or if we do not achieve our expected results, our results of operations and 
cash flows could be adversely affected. 

We may not achieve all of the expected benefits from our acquisitions, joint ventures, or strategic alliances.

We cannot provide any assurances that our acquisitions, joint ventures, or strategic alliances will generate all of the expected 
benefits, including the cost savings and strategic advantages that are anticipated from the strategic alliance with VW T&B. In 
addition, we cannot assure you that disputes will not arise with our joint venture partners and that such disputes will not lead to 
litigation or otherwise have an adverse effect on the joint ventures or our relationships with our joint venture partners. Failure 
to successfully manage and integrate these acquisitions, joint ventures, and strategic alliances could adversely impact our 
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. We continue to evaluate opportunities to further restructure our 
business in an effort to optimize our cost structure, which could include, among other actions, additional rationalization of 
certain of our acquisitions, joint ventures, or strategic alliances.

We are exposed to political, economic, and other risks that arise from operating a multinational business.

We have significant operations in foreign countries, primarily in Canada, Mexico and Brazil. Accordingly, our business is 
subject to the political, economic, and other risks that are inherent in operating a multinational company. These risks include, 
among others:

• 

• 

trade protection measures and import or export licensing requirements; 

the imposition of foreign withholding taxes on the remittance of foreign earnings to the U.S.; 

•  difficulty in staffing and managing international operations and the application of foreign labor regulations; 

•  multiple and potentially conflicting laws, regulations, and policies that are subject to change; 

•  currency exchange rate risk; and 

•  changes in general economic and political conditions in countries where we operate, particularly in emerging markets. 

23

Our ability to use net operating loss ("NOL") carryovers to reduce future tax payments could be negatively impacted if there 
is a change in our ownership or a failure to generate sufficient taxable income.

As of October 31, 2017, we had $3.0 billion of NOL carryforwards with which to offset our future taxable income for U.S. 
federal income tax reporting purposes.  Presently, there is no annual limitation on our ability to use U.S. federal NOLs to 
reduce future income taxes. However, we may be subject to substantial annual limitations provided by the IRC if an "ownership 
change," as defined in Section 382 of the IRC, occurs with respect to our capital stock. Generally, an ownership change occurs 
if certain persons or groups increase their aggregate ownership by more than 50 percentage points of our total capital stock in a 
three-year period. If an ownership change occurs, our ability to use domestic NOLs to reduce taxable income is generally 
limited to an annual amount based on (i) the fair market value of our stock immediately prior to the ownership change 
multiplied by the long-term tax-exempt interest rate plus (ii) under certain circumstances, realized built-in gains on certain 
assets held prior to the ownership change for the first five years after the ownership change. Although NOLs that exceed the 
Section 382 limitation in any year continue to be allowed as carryforwards for the remainder of the 20-year carryforward period 
and can be used to offset taxable income for years within the carryover period subject to the limitation in each year, the use of 
the remaining NOLs for the loss year will be prohibited if the carryover period for any loss year expires. If we should fail to 
generate a sufficient level of taxable income prior to the expiration of the NOL carryforward periods, then we will lose the 
ability to apply the NOLs as offsets to future taxable income. Similar limitations also apply to certain U.S. federal tax credits.  
As of October 31, 2017, we had $249 million of U.S. federal tax credits that would be subject to a limitation upon a change in 
ownership with carryforward periods of up to 20 years.

Properties 

Our Truck segment operates seven manufacturing and assembly facilities, which contain in the aggregate approximately nine 
million square-feet of floor space. Of these seven facilities, six are located in the U.S. and one is located in Mexico. Four 
facilities are owned and three facilities are subject to leases.  Four plants manufacture and assemble trucks, buses, and chassis, 
two plants are used to build engines, and one plant is involved with rail car manufacturing. A portion of the rail car 
manufacturing plant is subleased to a third-party, pursuant to a sublease agreement entered into in February 2013. Of the two 
plants that build engines, both manufacture diesel engines.

Our Parts segment leases six distribution centers in the U.S., two in Canada, one in Mexico, and one in South Africa.

Our Global Operations segment owns and operates manufacturing plants in both Brazil and Argentina, which contain a total of 
1 million square-feet of floor space for use by our South American engine subsidiaries. 

Our Financial Services segment, the majority of whose activities are conducted at our headquarters in Lisle, Illinois, also leases 
office space in Mexico.

Our principal product development and engineering facilities are currently located in Lisle, Illinois; Melrose Park, Illinois; 
Madison Heights, Michigan; and New Carlisle, Indiana. Additionally, we own or lease other significant properties in the 
U.S. and Canada including vehicle and parts distribution centers, sales offices, and our headquarters in Lisle, Illinois. Not 
included above is the Conway, Arkansas fabrication facility, which was sold in August 2017, one of the Huntsville, Alabama 
engine plants, which was sold in February 2017, as well as the Waukesha, Wisconsin foundry which was leased to a third party 
in April 2015.

We believe that all of our facilities have been adequately maintained, are in good operating condition, and are suitable for our 
current needs. These facilities, together with planned capital expenditures, are expected to meet our needs in the foreseeable 
future. Our Lisle, Illinois and Brookfield, Wisconsin, properties are subject to mortgages in favor of the lenders under our 
Senior Secured Term Loan Credit Facility.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") is designed to provide 
information that is supplemental to, and should be read together with, our consolidated financial statements and the 
accompanying notes. Information in MD&A is intended to assist the reader in obtaining an understanding of (i) our 
consolidated financial statements, (ii) the changes in certain key items within those financial statements from year-to-year, 
(iii) the primary factors that contributed to those changes, (iv) any changes in known trends or uncertainties that we are aware 
of and that may have a material effect on our future performance, and (v) how certain accounting principles affect our 
consolidated financial statements. In addition, MD&A provides information about our business segments and how the results of 
those segments impact our results of operations and financial condition as a whole.

Executive Overview

We are an international manufacturer of International® brand commercial and military trucks, proprietary brand diesel engines, 
and IC BusTM ("IC") brand school and commercial buses, as well as a provider of service parts for trucks and diesel engines. 
Our Core business is conducted in the North American truck and parts markets, where we principally participate in the U.S. and 
Canada school bus and Class 6 through 8 medium and heavy truck markets. We also provide retail, wholesale, and lease 
financing services for our trucks and parts.

Executive Summary

During 2017, we continued to take actions that we believe will improve our performance. Going forward, we will focus on our 
strategy which includes: growing the Core business, driving operational excellence, pursuing innovative technology solutions, 
leveraging the VW T&B alliance, enhancing our winning culture, and improving our financial performance. We believe our 
strategy will enable us to improve sales and market share by offering more value to our customers. 

In January 2017, we issued an additional $250 million aggregate principal amount of our 8.25% Senior Notes due in 2022 
("Senior Notes"). The proceeds from the January 2017 issuance of additional Senior Notes were used for general corporate 
purposes, including working capital and capital expenditures.

In February 2017, we amended the Senior Secured Term Loan Credit Facility ("Term Loan") to reprice our remaining $1.0 
billion loan and insert provisions regarding European Union bail-in legislation. The amendment reduced the interest rate 
applicable to the outstanding loan by 1.50%.

Also in February 2017, we consummated our previously announced strategic alliance with VW T&B, which included an equity 
investment in the Company by VW T&B pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Stock Purchase Agreement"), a License 
and Supply Framework Agreement and a Procurement JV Framework Agreement. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, 
we issued and VW T&B purchased 16.2 million shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $256 million at 
$15.76 per share (a 19.9% stake (16.6% on a fully-diluted basis)) in the Company. 

Pursuant to the License and Supply Framework Agreement, the parties have agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to 
enter into certain individual contracts in respect of the licensing and supply of certain engines and technologies, conduct 
feasibility studies in order to investigate the feasibility of sharing certain technologies and begin good faith discussions on 
possible collaboration with respect to certain powertrain combinations and other strategic initiatives. Negotiations related to 
certain individual contracts are ongoing. Under the Procurement JV Framework Agreement, the parties formed a joint venture 
to make recommendations for sourcing, evaluating and negotiating joint procurement opportunities. Each party is making final 
sourcing decisions for various components and other purchases to be made by the Procurement JV.

In November 2017, we completed the refinancing of and amendments to certain debt instruments included for our 
Manufacturing operations. We issued $1.1 billion aggregate principal amount of 6.625% senior notes due 2025 (“2025 Notes”) 
with a maturity date of November 1, 2025. To effect the retirement of the Senior Notes, we commenced a tender offer for the 
outstanding Senior Notes which achieved 72.50% participation. The proceeds from the issuance of the 2025 Notes were used to 
retire the tendered portion of our then-outstanding Senior Notes and pay accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and pay the 
associated prepayment premiums, and certain transaction fees and expenses incurred in connection with the new 2025 Notes. 
We also entered into the Term Loan Credit Agreement, which provides for a seven-year senior secured term loan credit facility 
in an aggregate principal amount of $1.6 billion. A portion of the proceeds were used to repay all outstanding loans under NI's 
existing Term Loan, redeem the remaining untendered Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate 
principal amount, and pay certain fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Term Loan Credit Agreement and the 2025 
Notes. The remainder of the proceeds will be used for ongoing working capital purposes and general corporate purposes. In 
addition, we amended certain provisions of our Tax Exempt Bonds to, among other things, permit the Company to incur 
secured debt up to $1.7 billion, in exchange for a coupon increase from 6.50% to 6.75% and the grant of a junior priority lien 
on certain collateral securing the Company’s Term Loan Credit Agreement.

We remain committed to product investment to increase customer value and to focus on our Core markets. In February 2017, 
we announced our new International® A26™ diesel engine. The A26™ is an all-new 12.4L engine design which we believe 
offers improved fuel economy and will deliver the uptime that our customers demand. In April 2017, we launched the 
International® RH™ Series, our new Class 8 regional haul tractor powered by the new International® A26™ engine. The 
RH™ Series is designed to deliver further improvements in uptime and productivity for the driver. In July 2017, we fulfilled 
customer shipments of our first on-highway vehicles powered by the International® A26™ diesel engine. In September 2017, 
we introduced the International® HV™ Series, our new Class 8 severe service truck powered by the new International® A26™ 
diesel engine; and we announced the launch of an electric medium-duty truck in North America by late 2019 with our strategic 
partner VW T&B.  We also expect to launch an IC electric bus as early as 2019.  The IC Electric Bus chargE™ was unveiled in 
late 2017. We will continue to announce a new or redesigned product, on average, every four to six months through 2018.  By 
the end of 2018, we expect our entire portfolio will consist of newly designed trucks. 

We continue to seek new sources of revenue. In March 2017, we announced that Navistar Defense, LLC, was awarded two 
foreign military contracts by the U.S. Army Contracting Command. The first is to produce and support MaxxPro® Dash 
DXM™ MRAP vehicles for Pakistan. The second is to reset, upgrade and support MaxxPro® MRAP Excess Defense Article 
vehicles for the U.A.E.. The majority of the work will take place at our West Point, Mississippi assembly plant. Delivery is 
planned to be completed for Pakistan in calendar year 2017 and for U.A.E. in calendar year 2018. In July 2017, we made our 
OnCommand® Connection Telematics solution available for purchase. It offers truck and bus drivers and fleets a 
comprehensive, one-price solution that can help cut the cost of vehicle maintenance, while managing federal and state 
compliance needs. 

We continue to drive operational excellence by focusing on business in our Core markets. During the second quarter of 2017, 
we implemented a shift in market mix for our used trucks to include an increase in volume to certain export markets, which 
have a lower price point as compared to sales through our domestic channels, and lower domestic pricing to enable higher sales 
velocity. We reduced our gross used truck inventory balances and inventory reserves as a result of the shift in market mix and 
change in pricing strategy. We continue to seek alternative channels to sell our used trucks. In May 2017, we completed the sale 
of a business line included in our Parts segment. In July 2017, we committed to a plan to cease engine production at the 
Melrose Park Facility in the third quarter of fiscal 2018. In August 2017, we also sold our fabrication business in Conway, 
Arkansas.

2017 Financial Summary

Continuing Operations Results

Continuing Operations Results — Consolidated net sales and revenues were $8.6 billion in 2017, an increase of 6% compared 
to 2016. The increase primarily reflects higher volumes from our Truck segment.

In 2017, we earned income from continuing operations before income taxes of $64 million, compared to a loss from continuing 
operations of $32 million in 2016. Our gross margin increased by $234 million primarily due to higher volumes in our Core 
markets, improved product margins in our Core markets, higher Mexico volumes, lower used truck losses and a decline in 
charges for adjustments to pre-existing warranties. These improvements to our results were offset by higher SG&A expenses 
and a decline in Other income.

In 2017, consolidated net income from continuing operations attributable to Navistar International Corporation ("NIC"), before 
manufacturing interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses (“EBITDA”) was $527 million, compared to EBITDA of 
$408 million in 2016. Excluding certain net charges of $55 million and $100 million in 2017 and 2016, respectively, Adjusted 
EBITDA was $582 million in 2017 compared to $508 million in 2016. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not determined in 
accordance with U.S. GAAP, nor are they presented as alternatives to U.S. GAAP measures. For more information regarding 
this non-GAAP financial information, see Consolidated EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.

In 2017, we recognized income tax expense from continuing operations of $10 million, compared to income tax expense of $33 
million in the prior year. The decrease in the income tax expense was primarily driven by an intraperiod allocation benefit in 
domestic continuing operations due to certain postretirement plan remeasurement gains, a release of various state uncertain tax 
position liabilities, partially offset by an increase in foreign taxes in Canada and Mexico and a non-recurring benefit from the 
release of the valuation allowance on U.S. AMT credits in 2016.

In 2017, after income taxes, income from continuing operations attributable to NIC was $29 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, 
compared to a loss of $97 million, or $1.19 per diluted share, in 2016.

Business Outlook and Key Trends

We continually look for ways to improve the efficiency and performance of our operations, and our focus is on improving our 
Core businesses. Certain trends have affected our results of operations for 2017 as compared to 2016 and 2015. These trends, as 
well as the key trends that we expect will impact our future results of operations, are as follows:

Core Trr
tt
ruck Market
—The Core truck markets, including U.S. and Canada, in which we compete are cyclical in nature and 
TT
are strongly influenced by macroeconomic factors such as industrial production, demand for durable goods, construction 
spending, business investment, oil prices, and consumer confidence and spending. Class 8 industry volume declined in 
2017 but we anticipate industry volumes to increase in 2018 as general economic and industry-specific indicators are 
trending well into 2018. In addition, improved new truck fuel economy along with rising freight demand and rates show
the trucking industry remains healthy. However, an oversupply of Class 8 used trucks throughout the industry continues to
suppress used truck trade-in values, negatively impacting new Class 8 truck sales. The medium truck and school bus 
WW
markets are expected to maintain the strong demand in 2018. We anticipate that Core markets retail industry deliveries will 
range between 345,000 units to 375,000 units for 2018.

Used Truck inventory—Our gross used truck inventory decreased to approximately $206 million at October 31, 2017 from
$410 million at October 31, 2016, offset by reserves of 
to our used truck reserves were $111 million, compared to $187 million and $117 million in 2016 and 2015, respectively. 
The decline was primarily due to the implementation of a shift in market mix for our used trucks to include an increase in
volume to certain export markets, that have a lower price point as compared to sales through our domestic channels, and to 
lower domestic pricing to enable higher sales velocity. We have decreased our gross used truck inventory balances and 
inventory reserves as a result of the shift in market mix and change in pricing strategy. We continue to seek alternative
channels to sell our used trucks.

Military Sales—Our U.S. military sales were $224 million in 2017, compared to $198 million in 2016 and $203 million in
2015. The 2017 U.S. military sales primarily consisted of deliveries of military commercial off the shelf variants 
("MILCOTS") and new MaxxPro vehicles to foreign militaries, refurbishment and upgrades of government owned 
MaxxPro vehicles to “like new” condition, upgrade kits, spare parts, and technical support service. In 2018, we expect our 
U.S. military sales to increase compared to 2017 due to additional contracts to deliver refurbished and upgraded MaxxPro 
vehicles and new MaxxPro vehicles to foreign militaries.

• Warranty Costs

—Emissions regulations in the U.S. and Canada have resulted in rapid product development cycles, driving 

WW
significant changes from previous engine models. In 2010, we introduced changes to our engine line-up in response to 
2010 emissions regulations. Component complexity and other related costs associated with meeting emissions standards 
have contributed to higher repair costs that exceeded those that we have historically experienced. Historically, warranty
claims experience for launch-year engines has been higher compared to the prior model-year engines; however, over time 
we have been able to refine both the design and manufacturing process to reduce both the volume and the severity of 
warranty claims. We recognized a benefit for adjustments to pre-existing warranties of 
charges for adjustments of $77 million in 2016 and $1 million in 2015.  In future periods, we could experience an increase 
in warranty spend compared to prior periods that could result in additional charges for adjustments to pre-existing
warranties. In addition, as we identify opportunities to improve the design and manufacturing of our engines, we may incur 
additional charges for product recalls and field campaigns to address identified issues. These charges may have an adverse 
effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. For more information, see Note 1,

Significant Accounting Policies, to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Income Taxes
TT —At October 31, 2017, we had $3 billion of U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards and $249 million
of federal tax credit carryforwards.  We expect our cash payments of U.S. taxes will be minimal for as long as we are able 
to offset our U.S. taxable income by these U.S. net operating losses and tax credits, which have carryforward periods of up 
to 20 years. We also have U.S., state and foreign net operating losses that are available to reduce cash payments of U.S.,
state and foreign taxes in future periods.

We maintain valuation allowances on our U.S. and certain foreign deferred tax assets because it is more likely than not that 
those deferred tax assets will not be realized.  It is reasonably possible within the next twelve months that additional 
valuation allowances may be required on certain foreign deferred tax assets. For more information, see Note 11, Income 
Taxes, to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

•  Core-Business Evaluation—We are focused on improving our Truck and Parts businesses in our Core markets. We are 

working to fix, divest or close under-performing and non-strategic areas and expect to realize incremental benefits from 
these actions in the near future. In addition, we are restructuring our business and rationalizing our Manufacturing 
operations in an effort to optimize our cost structure. This effort is ongoing and may lead to additional divestitures of 
businesses or discontinuing programs that are outside of our core operations or are not performing to our expectations. 

As a result of these evaluations, we completed the sale of a business line included in our Parts segment in May 2017. In 
July 2017, we committed to a plan to cease engine production at our Melrose Park Facility in the third quarter of fiscal 
2018. During August 2017, we also sold our fabrication business in Conway, Arkansas. During 2016, we sold Pure Power 
Technologies, LLC, a components business focused on air and fuel systems, and our engine and foundry facilities in 
Indianapolis, Indiana.  We sold our Waukesha, Wisconsin foundry operations and closed our Indianapolis, Indiana foundry 
facility in 2015. 

•  Global Economy—The global economy is expected to continue to improve solidly supported by a synchronized expansion 

across most regions. The outlook for the economies in both the U.S. and Canada remain cautiously optimistic with 
moderate growth expectations. A projected stabilization in energy and commodity prices should provide a benefit which 
may contribute to growth for Latin American countries in 2018, though the growth trend continues to be challenged by 
weak economic indicators. Mexico’s economy moderated in 2017, and is expected to grow in 2018, benefiting from the 
expansionary effects of the election year and the reconstruction of infrastructure damaged by earthquakes. Brazil has begun 
to emerge out of recession in the second half of 2017 and the economy is expected to accelerate in 2018 as key indicators 
are trending up. Low oil prices continue to provide a powerful stimulus to the global economy by lowering energy costs, 
boosting consumer income and spending, and improving external accounts of oil importers.

During 2017, we identified a triggering event related to continued economic weakness in Brazil which resulted in the 
decline in forecasted results for the Brazilian asset group. The Brazilian asset group is included in the Global Operations 
segment. We test for impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the 
carrying value of an asset or asset group (hereinafter referred to as "asset group") may not be recoverable by comparing the 
sum of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the operation of the asset group and its 
eventual disposition to the carrying value. As a result of the triggering event, we estimated the recoverable amount of the 
asset group and determined that the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows exceeds the carrying value and the asset 
group was not impaired. Significant adverse changes to our business environment and future cash flows could cause us to 
record impairment charges in future periods, which could be material.

• 

Impact of Government Regulation—As a manufacturer of trucks and engines, we continue to face significant governmental 
regulation of our products, especially in the areas of environmental and safety matters. We are also subject to various noise 
standards imposed by federal, state, and local regulations. Our facilities may be subject to regulation related to climate 
change, and climate change itself may also have some impact on our operations. However, these impacts are currently 
uncertain and we cannot predict the nature and scope of those impacts. For more information, see Impact of Government 
Regulation in Part I, Item I, Business.

In 2017, our Truck segment net sales increased $406 million, or 8%, primarily due to higher volumes in our Core markets, an 
increase in Mexico truck volumes, an increase in sales of GM-branded units manufactured for GM, and higher used truck sales. 
Chargeouts from our Core markets were up 8%, which is reflective of an improvement in our Class 8 volumes and market 
share. 

32

In 2017, our Parts segment net sales decreased $35 million, or 1%, primarily due to lower BDP sales and lower North America 
volumes, partially offset by higher U.S. and Canada parts sales related to the Fleetrite™ brand and remanufactured parts sales. 

In 2017, our Global Operations segment net sales decreased $32 million, or 9%, primarily driven by lower engine and 
component volumes in our South America engine operations, which declined 31% due to the impact of continued weakness in 
the Brazilian economy as well as the cessation of sales to an OEM customer in 2016. The decrease in volume was partially 
offset by the appreciation of the Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar as the average conversion rate has strengthened by 11% 
compared with the prior year period. 

In 2017, our Financial Services segment net revenues were comparable to the prior year primarily driven by higher interest 
rates and higher revenues from operating leases in Mexico, offset by lower average finance receivable balances and 
unfavorable movements in foreign currency exchange rates impacting our Mexican portfolio.

Costs of products sold

In 2017, Costs of products sold increased by $225 million, reflecting the impact of higher volumes in our Core markets, 
Mexico truck volumes, and market pressures, partially offset by a decrease in used truck losses, improved material costs, and 
lower adjustments to pre-existing warranties.

In 2017, we recorded charges to our used truck reserve of $111 million compared to $187 million in 2016. During the second 
quarter of 2017, we implemented a shift in market mix to include an increase in volume to certain export markets, which have a 
lower price point as compared to sales through our domestic channels, and lower domestic pricing to enable higher sales 
velocity. We have decreased our gross used truck inventory balances and inventory reserves as a result of the shift in market 
mix and change in pricing strategy. 

In 2017, we recognized a benefit for adjustments to pre-existing warranties of $1 million compared to a charge of $78 million 
in 2016. The decline in charges is primarily due to the reduction in claim frequency across both the medium duty and big bore 
engine families in our Truck segment. The impact decreased the reserve for our standard warranty obligations.

For more information on our estimated warranty obligations and our used truck reserves, see Note 1, Summary of Significant 
Accounting Policies, to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Restructuring Charges

We recognized restructuring charges of $3 million in 2017, compared to $10 million in 2016. The decrease is primarily due to 
postretirement net benefits of $43 million related to the execution of the closure agreement for our Chatham, Ontario plant, 
partially offset by postretirement and severance charges of $31 million related to our plan to cease production at our Melrose 
Park Facility, and certain cost reduction actions impacting our Global Operations segment. For more information, see Note 2, 
Restructuring and Impairments, to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. 

Selling, general and administrative expenses

In 2017, our SG&A expenses increased by $76 million compared to 2016 primarily due to an increase in employee 
compensation expense and charges related to EGR product litigation. For more information on our legal proceedings, see Note 
10, Commitments and Contingencies, to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Interest expense

In 2017, our interest expense increased by $24 million compared to 2016 primarily driven by the January 2017 issuance of 
additional Senior Notes, increased amortization of debt issuance costs, and an increase in average borrowing rates, partially 
offset by the impact of the lower interest rate related to the February 2017 refinancing of our Term Loan and lower average 
borrowing levels for finance receivables funding.

Other income, net

We recognized Other income of $21 million in 2017, compared to $76 million in the prior year. The decrease in Other income 
in 2017 is primarily due to a one-time $15 million fee received from a third party in the first quarter of 2016, deferred income 
for an IP license of $19 million in the second quarter of 2016, $13 million of IP license income in the third quarter of 2016, and 
unfavorable movements in foreign currency exchange rates, partially offset by the sale of a business line and machinery and 
equipment in 2017.

Income tax expense

In 2017, we recognized income tax expense from continuing operations of $10 million, compared to $33 million in the prior 
year. The decline in income tax expense is primarily driven by a $28 million intraperiod allocation benefit in domestic 
continuing operations due to certain post retirement plan remeasurement gains and a release of various state uncertain tax 
position liabilities of $14 million, partially offset by an increase in foreign taxes in Canada and Mexico and the non-recurring 

33

benefit of $13 million from the release of the valuation allowance on U.S. AMT credits due to the U.S. enactment of the 
Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act of 2015 recorded in the first quarter of 2016.

Net income attributable to non-controlling interests

Net income attributable to non-controlling interests is the result of our consolidation of subsidiaries that we do not wholly own. 
Substantially all of our net income attributable to non-controlling interests in 2017 and 2016 relates to Ford's non-controlling 
interest in BDP.

Segment Results of Continuing Operations for 2017 as Compared to 2016 

We operate in four reporting segments: Truck, Parts, Global Operations, and Financial Services.

We define segment profit (loss) as net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to NIC excluding income tax 
benefit (expense). The following sections analyze operating results as they relate to our four segments and do not include 
intersegment eliminations. For additional information concerning our segments, see Note 14, Segment Reporting, to the 
accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Segment sales

In 2017, our Truck segment net sales increased by $406 million, or 8%, primarily due to higher volumes in our Core markets, 
an increase in Mexico truck volumes, an increase in sales of GM-branded units manufactured for GM, and higher used truck 
sales. Chargeouts from our Core markets were up 8%, which is reflective of an improvement in our Class 8 volumes and 
market share. The improvement represents a 17% increase in Class 6 and 7 medium trucks, a 3% increase in Class 8 heavy 
trucks, a 9% increase in Class 8 severe service trucks and a 1% increase in buses.

Segment loss

In 2017, our Truck segment loss decreased by $183 million, or 97%, primarily driven by the impact of higher volumes in our 
Core markets and Mexico, a decrease in used truck losses, lower adjustments to pre-existing warranties, improved material 
costs, partially offset by market pressures, charges related to the MaxxForce engine EGR product litigation of $31 million, and 
a decrease in Other Income. 

In 2017, we recorded charges in our Truck segment for our used truck reserve of $111 million compared to charges of $187 
million in the respective prior year period. During the second quarter of 2017, we implemented a shift in market mix to include 
an increase in volume to certain export markets, which have a lower price point as compared to sales through our domestic 
channels, and lower domestic pricing to enable higher sales velocity.

In 2017, we recorded charges in our Truck segment for adjustments to pre-existing warranties of $8 million compared to 
charges of $78 million in the prior year. The decline in charges is primarily due to the reduction in claim frequency across both 
the Medium Duty and Big Bore engine families in our Truck segment. The impact decreased the reserve for our standard 
warranty obligations.

Additionally, the decline in Other Income during 2017 is due to a one-time $15 million fee received from a third party in the 
first quarter of 2016, deferred income for an IP license of $19 million in the second quarter of 2016, $13 million of IP license 
income in the third quarter of 2016, and an overall decline in the allocable share base of Access Fees from our Parts segment as 
a result of lower engineering and product development costs in recent years.

Segment profit

In 2017, our Parts segment profit decreased by $24 million, or 4%, primarily due to margin declines in BDP and in our U.S. 
market, partially offset by higher other income of $6 million related to the sale of a business line and lower intercompany 
access fees. Access fees are allocated to the Parts segment from the Truck segment, primarily for development of new products, 
and consist of certain engineering and product development costs, depreciation expense, and SG&A costs. The decrease in the 
allocable share of fees in 2017 is due to significant decreases in engineering and product development costs in recent years.

Segment sales

In 2017, our Global Operations segment net sales decreased by $32 million, or 9%, primarily driven by lower engine and 
component volumes in our South America engine operations, which declined 31% due to the impact of continued weakness in 
the Brazilian economy as well as the cessation of sales to an OEM customer in 2016. The decrease in volume was partially 
offset by the appreciation of the Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar as the average conversion rate has strengthened by 11% 
compared with the prior year period. 

Segment loss

In 2017, our Global Operations segment loss decreased by $14 million, or 67%, primarily due to lower manufacturing and 
SG&A expenses as a result of our prior year cost reduction efforts, a one-time benefit of $9 million recognized as an adjustment 
to pre-existing warranties and higher other income related to the sale of machinery and equipment. These increases were 
partially offset by an increase in restructuring charges in Brazil related to cost reduction actions consisting of personnel costs 
for employee separation and related benefits.

Segment profit

In 2017, our Financial Services segment profit decreased by $23 million, or 23%. The decrease is primarily driven by the pay 
down of certain intercompany loan receivables in the prior year and lower interest margin resulting from an increase in our 
average borrowing rate.

In 2016, our Truck segment net sales decreased $1.8 billion, or 25%, primarily due to lower Core truck volumes, the cessation 
of our Blue Diamond Truck, LLC ("BDT") joint venture sales, a decline in sales of CAT-branded units sold to Caterpillar Inc. 
("Caterpillar"), a decline in our export truck volumes, and lower used truck revenue. Chargeouts from our Core markets were 
down 19%, which is reflective of lower market share and Class 8 industry volumes.

In 2016, our Parts segment net sales decreased $86 million, or 3%, primarily due to lower U.S. volumes, market pressures, 
primarily in Canada and Mexico, unfavorable movements in foreign currency exchange rates, and an expected decline in BDP 
net sales driven by a decrease of units in operation as units age, partially offset by enhanced retail programs in our U.S. market.

In 2016, our Global Operations segment net sales decreased $165 million, or 33%, primarily due to lower volumes primarily 
attributed to the economic downturn in Brazil as well as unfavorable movements in foreign currency exchange rates.

36

In 2016, our Financial Services segment net revenues decreased $6 million, or 2%, primarily due to lower finance receivable 
balances and unfavorable movements in foreign currency exchange rates impacting our Mexican portfolio, partially offset by 
higher revenues from operating leases.

Costs of products sold

In 2016, Costs of products sold decreased by $1.9 billion, reflecting the impact of lower volumes, improved purchasing costs in 
our Core markets, and the cessation of BDT sales, partially offset by higher adjustments to pre-existing warranties and an 
increase in our used truck reserves. In 2016, we recognized charges for adjustments to pre-existing warranties of $78 
million compared to $4 million in 2015. The charges in 2016 primarily relate to increases in both claim frequency and cost of 
repair across both the Medium Duty and Big Bore engine families. These charges increase the reserve for Navistar’s standard 
warranty obligations as well as the loss positions related to our Big Bore extended service contracts. In 2016, charges to our 
used truck reserves were $187 million, compared to $117 million in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to declining 
industry pricing coupled with additional reserves taken on existing inventory. We continue to seek alternative channels to sell 
our used trucks, including certain export markets which include a lower price point as compared to sales through our domestic 
channels. For more information on our estimated warranty obligations and our used truck reserves, see Note 1, Summary of 
Significant Accounting Policies, to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Restructuring Charges

We recognized restructuring charges of $10 million in 2016 compared to charges of $76 million in the prior year. The charges 
in 2016 were primarily related to the 2011 closure of our Chatham, Ontario plant, resulting from a ruling received from the 
Financial Services Tribunal in Ontario, Canada. The charges in 2015 were primarily related to cost reduction actions, including 
our offering of a voluntary separation program ("VSP") to the majority of our U.S.-based non-represented salaried employees 
and the impacts of an involuntary reduction-in-force in the U.S. and Brazil. For more information, see Note 2, Restructurings 
and Impairments, to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Our SG&A expenses decrease of $106 million in 2016 is primarily due to the impact of our cost-reduction initiatives. For more 
information on our cost-reduction initiatives, see Note 2, Restructurings and Impairments, to the accompanying consolidated 
financial statements.

Engineering and product development costs

Our Engineering and product development costs decrease of $41 million in 2016 is primarily driven by our continued efforts to 
focus spending on our Core markets including launching new and redesigned products while placing less emphasis on engine 
development. Engineering spend is targeted at programs that will reduce cost, improve uptime for our customers, grow market 
share and allow us to meet new emissions standards in 2017. In 2016, we began to realize our plan to release a new or 
redesigned product, on average, every four to six months through 2018.

Interest expense

In 2016, our interest expense increased $20 million compared to the prior year, primarily driven by the August 2015 refinancing 
of our Amended Term Loan Credit Facility which was replaced by the Senior Secured Term Loan Credit Facility. The 
refinancing increased the amount of our borrowing and the interest rate.

Other income, net

We recognized Other income of $76 million in 2016 compared to income of $30 million in the prior year.  The increase in 
Other income in 2016 is primarily driven by the increase of income recognized related to certain IP licenses of $30 million and 
a $15 million one-time fee received from a third party, partially offset by the non-recurring gain of $14 million related to the 
settlement of a customer dispute recorded in the prior year.

Income tax expense

In 2016, we recognized income tax expense from continuing operations of $33 million, compared to income tax expense of $51 
million in the prior year. The difference between the income tax expense in 2016 and 2015 is due to geographical mix and 
certain discrete items. The income tax expense in 2016 also included a benefit of $13 million from the release of the valuation 
allowance on the U.S. AMT credit. The income tax expense in 2015 included charges of $7 million related to foreign exchange 
gains. In both periods, other than the valuation allowance release mentioned above, the impact of income taxes on U.S. 
operations was limited to current state income taxes, and other discrete items, due in part to the deferred tax valuation 
allowances on our U.S. deferred tax assets.

37

Net income attributable to non-controlling interests

Net income attributable to non-controlling interests is the result of our consolidation of subsidiaries that we do not wholly own. 
Substantially all of our net income attributable to non-controlling interests in 2016 and 2015 relates to Ford's non-controlling 
interest in BDP.

Segment sales

In 2016, our Truck segment net sales decreased by $1.8 billion, or 25%, primarily due to lower Core truck volumes, the 
cessation of BDT sales, a decline in sales of CAT-branded units sold to Caterpillar, a decline in our export truck volumes, and 
lower used truck revenue. Truck chargeouts from our Core markets were down 19%, which is reflective of lower market share 
and Class 8 industry volumes. The decline represents a 5% decrease in Class 6 and 7 medium trucks, a 35% decrease in Class 8 
heavy trucks, an 18% decrease in Class 8 severe service trucks and a 6% decrease in buses.

Segment loss

In 2016, our Truck segment loss increased by $48 million, or 34%. The increase in segment loss was primarily driven by higher 
adjustments to pre-existing warranties of $70 million, increased used truck losses, lower Mexico margins due to the 
strengthening of the U.S. dollar, and lower export volumes. These impacts were partially offset by improved purchasing and 
structural costs.

Our used truck losses increased primarily due to declining industry pricing and increased export sales in 2016, which have a 
lower price point as compared to our domestic channels. Charges to our used truck reserves in our Truck segment were $181 
million in 2016, compared to $115 million in 2015.

In 2016, our Truck segment recorded charges for adjustments to pre-existing warranties of $78 million compared to $8 
million in the prior year. These charges in 2016 primarily relate to increases in both claim frequency and cost of repair across 
both the Medium Duty and Big Bore engine families. These charges increase the reserve for our standard warranty obligations 
as well as the loss positions related to our Big Bore extended service contracts. 

Our SG&A expenses and Engineering and product development costs continued to decline in 2016. The lower SG&A expenses 
reflect the impact of our cost-reduction initiatives. The lower Engineering and product development costs were primarily due to 
our efforts to focus spending on our Core markets while placing less emphasis on engine development. Engineering spend is 
targeted at programs that will reduce cost, improve uptime for our customers, grow market share and allow us to meet new 
emissions standards in 2017. In 2016, we began to realize our plan to release a new or redesigned product, on average, every

Segment sales

In 2016, our Parts segment net sales decreased by $86 million, or 3%, primarily due to lower U.S. volumes, market pressures 
primarily in Canada and Mexico, unfavorable movements in foreign currency exchange rates, and an expected decline in BDP 
net sales driven by a decrease of units in operation as units age, partially offset by enhanced retail programs in our U.S. market.

Segment profit

In 2016, our Parts segment increased its segment profit by $48 million, or 8%, primarily due to margin improvements in our 
U.S. market, cost-reduction initiatives, and lower intercompany access fees, partially offset by unfavorable movements in 
foreign currency exchange rates. Access fees are allocated to the Parts segment from the Truck segment, primarily for 
development of new products, and consist of certain engineering and product development costs, depreciation expense, and 
SG&A costs. The lower fees in 2016 are due to cost-reduction initiatives in the Truck segment, including significant decreases 
in engineering and product development costs in recent years.

Segment sales

In 2016, our Global Operations segment net sales decrease of $165 million, or 33% was primarily driven by a decrease in our 
South America engine operations, reflecting lower volumes and unfavorable movements in foreign currency exchange rates, as 
the average conversion rate of the Brazilian real to the U.S. dollar has weakened by 12%. In 2016, engine volumes 
declined 41% compared to the prior year, primarily due to the continued economic downturn in the Brazil economy.

Segment loss

In 2016, our Global Operations segment results improved by $46 million, or 69%, primarily due to lower manufacturing and 
structural costs as a result of our prior year restructuring and cost reduction efforts and impact of foreign currency exchange 
rates, partially offset by the non-recurring net gain of $10 million related to the settlement of a customer dispute recorded in the 
prior year.

Segment revenues

In 2016, our Financial Services segment net revenues decreased by $6 million, or 2%. The decrease is primarily driven by 
lower overall finance receivable balances and unfavorable movements in foreign currency exchange rates impacting our 
Mexican portfolio, partially offset by higher revenues from operating leases.

Segment profit

In 2016, our Financial Services segment profit increased by $2 million, or 2%. The increase is primarily driven by an increase 
in gains resulting from operating lease early terminations, decreases in the provision for loan losses in Mexico and cost 
reduction initiatives. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in revenue and an increase in interest expense due to 
rate increases.

Truck Orders, net

We define orders as written commitments received from customers and dealers during the year to purchase trucks. Net orders 
represent new orders received during the year less cancellations of orders made during the same year. Orders do not represent 
guarantees of purchases by customers or dealers and are subject to cancellation. Orders may be either sold orders, which will be 
built for specific customers, or stock orders, which will generally be built for dealer inventory for eventual sale to customers. 
These orders may be placed at our assembly plants in the U.S. and Mexico for destinations anywhere in the world and include 
trucks and buses. Historically, we have had an increase in net orders for stock inventory from our dealers at the end of the year 
due to a combination of demand and, from time to time, incentives to the dealers. Increases in stock orders typically translate to 
higher future chargeouts. The following table summarizes our approximate net orders for Core units:

Truck Backlogs

We define order backlogs ("backlogs") as orders yet to be built as of the end of the period. Our backlogs do not represent 
guarantees of purchases by customers or dealers and are subject to cancellation. Although backlogs are one of many indicators 
of market demand, other factors such as changes in production rates, internal and supplier available capacity, new product 
introductions, and competitive pricing actions may affect point-in-time comparisons. Backlogs exclude units in inventory 
awaiting additional modifications or delivery to the end customer. The following table summarizes our approximate backlog for 
Core units:

Manufacturing cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities

Manufacturing cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities, and Financial Services cash, cash equivalents and marketable 
securities are not presented in accordance with, and should not be viewed as an alternative to, GAAP.  This non-GAAP financial 
information should be considered supplemental to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in 
accordance with GAAP. However, we believe that non-GAAP reporting provides meaningful information and therefore we use 
it to supplement our GAAP reporting by identifying items that may not be related to the core manufacturing business. We 
provide this information for an additional analysis of our ability to meet our operating requirements, capital expenditures, 
equity investments, and financial obligations. Manufacturing cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities represent our 
consolidated cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities, which excludes cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities 
of our Financial Services operations. We include marketable securities with our cash and cash equivalents when assessing our 
liquidity position as our investments are highly liquid in nature. 

Consolidated cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities totaled $1.1 billion at October 31, 2017, which includes an 
immaterial amount of cash and cash equivalents primarily attributable to BDP that is generally not available to satisfy our 
obligations. For additional information on the consolidation of BDP, see Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to 
the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash provided by operating activities, including cash flow from the sale of trucks, buses, 
diesel engines, and parts, as well as from product financing provided to our dealers and retail customers by our Financial 
Services operations. It is our opinion that, in the absence of significant extraordinary cash demands, our: (i) level of cash, cash 
equivalents, and marketable securities, (ii) current and forecasted cash flow from our Manufacturing operations and Financial 
Services operations, (iii) availability under various funding facilities, (iv) current and forecasted availability from various 
funding alliances, and (v) access to capital in the capital markets, will provide sufficient funds to meet operating requirements, 
capital expenditures, investments, and financial obligations on both a short-term and long-term basis. Manufacturing operations 
debt obligations are expected to be met through a combination of cash generation from operations and refinancing activities. 
We also believe the quality of our underlying portfolio of receivables will ensure the ongoing funding from various sources and 
alliance partners and will permit our Financial Services operations to meet our financing requirements, and the financing 
requirements of our dealers and retail customers.

We have generally financed our Manufacturing operations with cash, funding from our Financial Services operations, equity, 
and access to the capital markets. The covenants in all of our debt agreements permit us to refinance existing debt instruments 
as they mature. 

Our Manufacturing operations sold $7.4 billion, $7.2 billion, and $8.6 billion of wholesale notes and accounts receivable to our 
Financial Services operations in 2017, 2016, and 2015, respectively. The total outstanding balance of wholesale notes and 
accounts receivable purchased was $1.4 billion, for both periods, as of October 31, 2017 and 2016. Our Financial Services 
operations also make loans and provide dividends and return of capital to our Manufacturing operations. Total loans outstanding 
from our Financial Services operations to our Manufacturing operations were $91 million and $203 million at October 31, 2017 
and 2016, respectively. During 2017, our Manufacturing operations received $8 million of return of capital from our Financial 
Services operations. During 2016, our Manufacturing operations received $220 million in dividends and return of capital from 
NFC, of which $190 million was funded by the remaining repayment of the $270 million loan made by NFC to our 
Manufacturing operations in October 2013 (the “Intercompany Loan”).

Included in loans made from Financial Services to Manufacturing operations is an intercompany financing from NFC that is 
secured by a first priority lien on used truck inventory and certain related assets (the "Intercompany Used Truck Loan"). During 
the year ended October 31, 2017 we decreased our borrowings under the Intercompany Used Truck Loan by $106 million to 
$29 million. Our Manufacturing operations also have an intercompany revolving loan agreement (the "Intercompany Revolving 
Loan") with our captive insurance company under our Financial Services segment. During 2017, our borrowings under the 
Intercompany Revolving Loan agreement decreased by $11 million to $7 million. Our Financial Services operations in Mexico 
extends working capital loans to our Manufacturing operations in Mexico for orders received. During 2017, the borrowings of 
our Manufacturing operations in Mexico under these loan agreements increased by $5 million to $55 million. 

Our Financial Services operations have traditionally relied upon secured borrowings on finance receivables, short and long-
term bank borrowings, medium and long-term debt, and commercial paper in Mexico to fund products sold or leased by us, our 
dealers, and retail customers. We use a number of special purpose entities ("SPEs") to securitize receivables. Navistar Financial 
Securities Corporation ("NFSC") finances wholesale notes, International Truck Leasing Corporation ("ITLC") finances 
operating leases and some finance leases, and Truck Retail Accounts Corporation ("TRAC") finances retail accounts. Our 
Financial Services operations in Mexico provide vehicle financing, leasing and insurance brokerage services to our dealers and 
retail customers in Mexico. 

As of October 31, 2017, the aggregate amount available to fund finance receivables under our Financial Services facilities was 
$520 million. 

In May 2016, NFC amended and extended its 2011 bank credit facility which was originally due in December 2016. The 2016 
amendment extended the maturity date to June 2018 and initially reduced the revolving portion of the facility from $500 million 
to $400 million. In December 2016, and in accordance with the amendment, the revolving portion of the facility was further 
reduced to a maximum of $275 million, the term loan portion of the facility was paid down to $82 million, and the quarterly 
principal payments were reduced from $9 million to $2 million. The amendment allows NFC to increase revolving or term loan 
commitments, subject to obtaining commitments from existing or new lenders to provide additional or increased revolving 
commitments and/or additional term loans, to permit a maximum total facility size of $700 million after giving effect to any 
such increase. In September 2017, the revolving portion of the bank credit facility was amended and extended to a maturity date 
of September 2021. The capacity of the facility will be reduced from $275 million to $269 million in June 2018. The 
borrowings on the revolving portion of the facility totaled $127 million as of October 31, 2017. The balance of the term loan 
portion of the facility was $76 million as of October 31, 2017.

In November 2016, NFSC extended the maturity date of the variable funding notes ("VFN") facility from May 2017 to 
November 2017, and the maximum capacity was reduced from $500 million to $450 million. In May 2017, NFSC extended its 

43

VFN facility to May 2018, and the maximum capacity was reduced to $425 million. The VFN facility is secured by assets of 
the wholesale note owner trust.

In December 2016, NFC extended its $100 million TRAC facility from April 2017 to October 2017. In May 2017, NFC 
extended its TRAC facility to April 2018.

In January 2017, we issued an additional $250 million aggregate principal amount of our Senior Notes. Interest related to the 
Senior Notes is payable on May 1 and November 1 of each year until the maturity date of November 1, 2021. The proceeds 
from the January 2017 issuance of additional Senior Notes were used for general corporate purposes, including working capital 
and capital expenditures. For additional information, see Note 9, Debt, to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

In February 2017, we consummated our previously announced strategic alliance with VW T&B. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase 
Agreement, we issued and VW T&B purchased 16.2 million shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price 
of $256 million at $15.76 per share (a 19.9% stake in the Company (16.6% on a fully diluted basis)). The proceeds are being 
used for general corporate purposes. 

In June 2017, NFSC issued $250 million of two-year investor notes secured by assets of the wholesale note owner trust. 
Proceeds were used, in part, to replace the $250 million of investor notes that matured in June 2017.

In August 2017, we amended and extended our Amended and Restated Asset-Based Credit Facility which was originally due in 
May 2018. The 2017 amendment extended the maturity date to August 2022 and reduced the revolving facility from $175 
million to $125 million. Our borrowing capacity under the amended facility was previously subject to a $35 million liquidity 
block and is now subject to a $13 million liquidity block, less outstanding standby letters of credit issued under this facility, and 
is impacted by inventory levels at certain aftermarket parts inventory locations. As of October 31, 2017, we had no borrowings 
but did have availability to borrow under the Amended and Restated Asset-Based Credit Facility. Additionally, we maintain 
capacity under our various debt arrangements to incur incremental debt. 

On November 6, 2017, we issued $1.1 billion aggregate principal amount of 6.625% senior notes due 2025 (“2025 Notes”). 
Interest is payable on the 2025 Notes on May 1 and November 1 of each year beginning on May 1, 2018 until the maturity date 
of November 1, 2025. To effect the retirement of our 8.25% Senior Notes, we also commenced a cash tender offer (“Tender 
Offer”), which resulted in the purchase of $1,051 million aggregate principal amount, or 72.50% of the total then-outstanding 
8.25% Senior Notes at a purchase price of $1,003.80 per $1,000 principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The 
proceeds from the offering of our 2025 Notes were used to purchase a portion of our existing Senior Notes tendered in the 
tender offer and to pay accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and pay the associated prepayment premiums, certain transaction 
fees and expenses incurred in connection with the new 2025 Notes. We expect to record approximately $31 million of charges 
in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 related to the extinguishment of unamortized debt issuance costs and tender premiums 
associated with the Senior Notes.

On November 6, 2017, we signed a definitive credit agreement relating to a seven-year senior secured term loan credit facility 
in an aggregate principal amount of $1.6 billion (“Term Loan Credit Agreement”), guaranteed by NIC and twelve of its 
subsidiaries. Under the terms of the amendment, the interest rate on the outstanding loan is based, at our option, on an adjusted 
Eurodollar Rate, plus a margin of 3.50%, or a Base Rate, plus a margin of 2.50%. The Term Loan Credit Agreement requires 
quarterly amortization payments of $4 million with the balance due at maturity on November 6, 2024. A portion of the proceeds 
were used to repay all outstanding loans under our existing Term Loan, to repurchase the remaining portion of the outstanding 
Senior Notes, to pay accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and pay certain transaction fees and expenses incurred in connection 
with the new Term Loan Credit Agreement. The remainder of the proceeds of the Term Loan Credit Agreement will be used for 
ongoing working capital purposes and general corporate purposes. We expect to record approximately $16 million of charges in 
the first quarter of fiscal 2018 related to the extinguishment of unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the Term Loan.

On November 6, 2017 the Company entered into the First Amendment to Loan Agreement with The County of Cook, Illinois 
and the First Amendment to Loan Agreement with the Illinois Finance Authority (“Tax Exempt Bond Amendments”) to adjust 
various restrictive covenants included in the loan agreements relating to the Tax Exempt Bonds, including to permit the 
Company to incur secured debt up to $1.7 billion, in exchange for a coupon increase from 6.50% to 6.75% and the grant of a 
junior priority lien on certain collateral securing the Company’s existing Term Loan and the new Term Loan Credit Agreement.

_________________________
(A)  Manufacturing operations cash flows and Financial Services operations cash flows are not presented in accordance with, and should not be viewed as an 

alternative to, GAAP. This non-GAAP financial information should be considered supplemental to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial 
measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. However, we believe that non-GAAP reporting provides meaningful information and therefore we use it 
to supplement our GAAP reporting by identifying items that may not be related to the core manufacturing business. Management often uses this 
information to assess and measure the performance and liquidity of our operating segments. Our Manufacturing operations, for this purpose, include our 
Truck segment, Global Operations segment, Parts segment, and Corporate items which include certain eliminations. The reconciling differences between 
these non-GAAP financial measures and our GAAP consolidated financial statements in Item 1, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, are our 
Financial Services operations and adjustments required to eliminate certain intercompany transactions between Manufacturing operations and Financial 
Services operations. Our Financial Services operations cash flows are presented consistent with their treatment in our Condensed Consolidated Statements 
of Cash Flows and may not be consistent with how they would be treated on a stand-alone basis. We have chosen to provide this supplemental 
information to allow additional analysis, to illustrate the respective cash flows giving effect to the equity basis cash flow shown above, and to provide an 
additional measure of performance and liquidity.

Manufacturing Operations

Manufacturing Operations Cash Flow from Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities was $10 million, $56 million and $98 million in 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The 
lower cash provided from operating activities in 2017 compared to 2016 was primarily attributable to a decrease in the 
collection of accounts receivable, lower dividends from Financial Services, an increase in inventories and an increase in other 
current and noncurrent assets partially offset by an increase in net income and increases in accounts payable, other current 
liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities. The net decrease in cash flow from operating activities in 2016 compared to 2015 was 
primarily attributable to an increase in repayments to our Financial Services operations, decreases in other current liabilities, an 
increase in noncurrent assets, and a decrease in depreciation and amortization, partially offset by a lower net loss, higher 
dividends and a returned capital payment received from our Financial Services operations, a larger reduction in inventories, an 
increase in the collection of accounts receivable, and lower accounts payable payments. 

Cash paid for interest, net of amounts capitalized, was $223 million, $227 million, and $180 million in 2017, 2016, and 2015, 
respectively.

We paid $193 million, $199 million, and $204 million for 2017, 2016, and 2015 respectively, for costs associated with 
postretirement benefits including pension and postretirement health care expenses for employees and surviving spouses and 
dependents, the funding of trust assets, and other postretirement payments. These postretirement benefits did not include any 
cash payments made from trust assets to beneficiaries.

Manufacturing Operations Cash Flow from Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities was $489 million in 2017, compared to cash provided by investing activities of $3 million and 
$346 million in 2016 and 2015, respectively. The net decrease in cash flow from investing activities in 2017 compared to 2016 
was primarily attributable to higher purchases and lower maturities of marketable securities as well as purchases of equipment 
leased to others and lower proceeds from the sale of non-consolidated affiliates, partially offset by higher sales of marketable 
securities and higher proceeds from the sale of property and equipment. During 2017, sales of marketable securities totaled 
$652 million and maturities of marketable securities totaled $28 million, compared with $539 million of sales and $43 million 
of maturities of marketable securities and $1.2 billion of sales and $86 million of maturities of marketable securities during 
2016 and 2015, respectively. 

Manufacturing Operations Cash Flow from Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities was $389 million and $63 million in 2017 and 2015, respectively, compared to cash used 
in financing activities of $203 million in 2016. The net increase in cash flow from financing activities in 2017 compared to 
2016 was primarily attributable to issuing an additional $250 million of our Senior Notes and the proceeds of $256 million from 
the equity issuance to VW T&B as well as increases in proceeds from finance lease obligations and from the exercise of stock 
options, partially offset by higher debt issuance costs and repayments of loans to our Financial Services operations including 
funding under the Intercompany Used Truck Loan and other financing programs.

Financial Services Operations 

Financial Services Operations and Adjustments to Cash Flow from Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities was $99 million and $211 million in 2017 and 2016, respectively, compared to cash used 
in operating activities of $52 million in 2015. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities in 2017 was primarily due 
to an increase in the level of finance receivables funded compared to a decrease in the prior year period, the utilization of a 
trade payable with our Manufacturing operations, and a slight decline in segment profit of our Financial Services operations. 
The net increase in cash provided by operating activities in 2016 was primarily due to a greater decline in the level of finance 
receivables funded. The increase was partially offset by the amount of dividends and returned capital paid to our Manufacturing 
operations as compared to the prior year period. 

Cash paid for interest, net of amounts capitalized, was $71 million, $64 million, and $59 million in 2017, 2016, and 2015, 
respectively. 

Financial Services Operations and Adjustments to Cash Flow from Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities was $53 million, $70 million and $30 million in 2017, 2016, and 2015, respectively. Changes 
in restricted cash levels required under our secured borrowings, along with purchases of equipment leased to others, were the 
primary sources and uses of cash from investing activities in 2017, 2016, and 2015. The decrease in cash used in investing 
activities in 2017 was primarily due to a decline in purchases of equipment leased to others, partially offset by an increase in 

46

restricted cash levels. In 2016, the increase in cash used in investing activities was primarily due to the increase in purchases of 
equipment leased to others, and the lower decline in restricted cash levels under our secured borrowings.

Financial Services Operations and Adjustments to Cash Flow from Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities was $51 million and $150 million in 2017 and 2016, respectively, compared to cash provided 
by financing activities of $35 million in 2015. The net decrease in cash used in financing activities in 2017 was primarily due to 
the increase in borrowing levels associated with the increase in the level of finance receivables funded compared to decreases in 
the prior year period, partially offset by an increase in repayments of debt using intercompany loan repayments received from 
our Manufacturing operations. The net increase in cash used in financing activities in 2016 was primarily due to the repayment 
of debt associated with the greater decline in the level of finance receivables funded and a decline in repayments from the 
Manufacturing operations for intercompany financing programs. 

Debt 

See Note 9, Debt, to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for a description of our credit facilities and long-term 
debt obligations. 

Funding of Financial Services 

The Financial Services segment has traditionally relied upon secured borrowings on finance receivables, short and long-term 
bank borrowings, medium and long-term debt, and commercial paper in Mexico to fund its provision of financing to our dealers 
and retail customers. As of October 31, 2017, our funding consisted of asset-backed securitization debt of $849 million, bank 
borrowings and revolving credit facilities of $616 million, commercial paper of $92 million, and borrowings of $94 million 
secured by operating and finance leases. 

We use a number of SPEs to securitize and sell receivables. NFSC finances wholesale notes, Navistar Financial Retail 
Receivables Corporation finances retail notes and finance leases, ITLC finances operating leases and some finance leases, and 
TRAC finances retail accounts.

Our Mexican financial services operations include Navistar Financial, S.A. de C.V., Sociedad Financiera de Objeto Multiple, 
Entidad Regulada ("NFM"), which issue debt to provide vehicle financing to our dealers and retail customers in Mexico. 

The following table sets forth the utilization under our bank credit and revolving funding facilities in place as of October 31, 
2017:

We are obligated under certain agreements with public and private lenders of NFC to maintain the subsidiary's income before 
interest expense, capital contributions from NI, and income taxes at not less than 125% of its total interest expense. Under these 
agreements, if NFC's consolidated income before interest expense, capital contributions from NI, and income taxes is less than 
125% of its interest expense, NI must make a capital contribution to NFC to achieve the required ratio. No such payments were 
required for the years ended October 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015.

Derivative Instruments 

We use derivative financial instruments as part of our overall interest rate, foreign currency, and commodity risk management 
strategies to reduce our interest rate exposure, to potentially increase the return on invested funds, to reduce exchange rate risk 
for transactional exposures denominated in currencies other than the functional currency, and to minimize commodity price 
volatility. The fair values of these derivatives are recorded as assets or liabilities on a gross basis in our Consolidated Balance 
Sheets. For more information on derivatives and related market risks, see Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures 
about Market Risk to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. 

47

 
 
 
Capital Resources 

We expend capital to support our operating and strategic plans. Such expenditures include investments to meet regulatory and 
emissions requirements, maintain capital assets, develop new products or improve existing products, and to enhance capacity or 
productivity. Many of the associated projects have long lead-times and require commitments in advance of actual spending. 

Business units provide their estimates of costs of capital projects, expected returns, and benefits to senior management. Those 
projects are evaluated from the perspective of expected return and strategic importance, with a capital expenditure goal of 
approximately $200 million in 2018, exclusive of capital expenditures for equipment leased to others. See Note 9, Debt, to the 
accompanying consolidated financial statements. 

Consolidated EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes certain identified items that we do not consider to be part of our ongoing 
business, are not in accordance with, and should not be viewed as an alternative to, U.S. GAAP. This non-GAAP financial 
information should be considered supplemental to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in 
accordance with U.S. GAAP.   

We believe EBITDA provides meaningful information about the performance of our business and therefore we use it to 
supplement our U.S. GAAP reporting. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA improves the comparability of year-to-year results, 
and is representative of our underlying performance. Management uses this information to assess and measure the performance 
of our operating segments. We have chosen to provide this supplemental information for an additional analyses of our operating 
results, to illustrate the results of operations giving effect to the non-GAAP adjustments shown in the below reconciliations, 
and to provide an additional measure of performance.

occur when claims experience deviates from historical and expected trends. Our warranty liability is generally affected by component failure rates, repair 
costs, and the timing of failures. Future events and circumstances related to these factors could materially change our estimates and require adjustments to 
our liability. In addition, new product launches require a greater use of judgment in developing estimates until historical experience becomes available. 

(B)  During 2017, we recorded $13 million of asset impairment charges in our Truck segment relating to assets held for sale of our Conway, Arkansas 

fabrication business and for certain assets under operating leases. During 2016, the charges primarily included $17 million related to certain long-lived 
assets and $8 million related to certain operating leases. We also determined that $1 million of trademark asset carrying value was impaired. During 2015, 
we recorded $11 million of asset impairment charges related to certain long-lived assets and $9 million related to certain operating leases. We also 
recognized a total non-cash charge of $7 million for the impairment of certain intangible and long-lived assets in the Global Operations segment, and $3 
million for the impairment of the carrying value of a trademark asset.  

(C)  During 2017, we recorded a charge of $13 million. We recorded $41 million of charges related to our plan to cease production at our Melrose Park 

Facility, a net benefit of $43 million related to the resolution of the closing agreement for our Chatham, Ontario plant, and the release of $1 million in 
OPEB liabilities in connection with the sale of our fabrication business in Conway, Arkansas. We recorded $6 million of restructuring charges in Brazil 
related to cost reduction actions consisting of personnel costs for employee separation and related benefits. During 2016, we recorded $7 million of 
charges related to the 2011 closure of our Chatham, Ontario plant.  During 2015, we had $72 million of cost reduction and other strategic initiatives 
primarily consisting of restructuring charges. In 2015, we offered the majority of our U.S.-based non-represented salaried employees the opportunity to 
apply for a VSP, which resulted in $37 million of restructuring charges. In addition, we incurred restructuring charges of $23 million related to cost 
reduction actions, including a reduction-in-force in the U.S. and Brazil. 

(D)  During 2015, we recognized a $10 million net gain related to the settlement of a customer dispute in our Global Operations segment. The $10 million net 

gain for the settlement included restructuring charges of $4 million. 

(E)  During 2015, we recorded approximately $6 million in charges, primarily related to inventory, to optimize the Brazil Truck business in our Global 

Operations segment.

(F)  During 2017, we recognized a charge of $31 million for a jury verdict related to Maxxforce engine EGR product litigation in our Truck segment.
(G)  During 2017, we recognized a gain of $6 million related to the sale of a business line in our Parts segment.
(H)  During 2017, we recorded a charge of $5 million related to third party fees and debt issuance costs associated with the repricing of our Term Loan and the 
refinancing of the revolving portion of the NFC bank credit facility in our Financial Services segment. During 2015, we recorded $14 million of third 
party fees and unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the refinancing of our Amended Term Loan Credit Facility with a new Senior Secured 
Term Loan Credit Facility. 

(I)  During 2016, we received a $15 million one-time fee from a third party.

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits 

Our pension plans are funded by contributions made from Company assets in accordance with applicable U.S. and Canadian 
government regulations. The regulatory funding requirements are computed using an actuarially determined funded status, 
which is determined using assumptions that often differ from assumptions used to measure the funded status for U.S. 
GAAP. U.S. funding targets are determined by rules promulgated under the Pension Protection Act of 2006 (the "PPA"). The 
PPA additionally requires underfunded plans to achieve 100% funding over a period of time. From time to time, we have 
discussions with and receive requests for certain information from the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation ("PBGC"). The 
PBGC was created by ERISA to encourage the continuation and maintenance of private-sector defined benefit pension plans, 
provide timely and uninterrupted payment of pension benefits, and keep pension insurance premiums at a minimum. In July 
2012, the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act was signed into law, impacting the minimum funding 
requirements for pension plans, but not otherwise impacting our accounting for pension benefits. In August 2014, the Highway 
and Transportation Funding Act of 2014, which included an extension of pension funding interest rate relief, was signed into 
law. The Bi-Partisan Budget Act of 2015 was signed into law in November of 2015 and provided for further extension of 
interest rate relief. These legislative measures will reduce our funding requirements over the next five years.

In 2017 and 2016, we contributed $112 million and $100 million, respectively, to our U.S. and Canadian pension plans (the 
"Plans") to meet regulatory minimum funding requirements. In 2018 we expect to contribute approximately $134 million to 
meet the minimum required contributions for all plans. Future contributions are dependent upon a number of factors, 
principally the changes in values of plan assets, changes in interest rates, and the impact of any future funding relief. We 
currently expect that from 2019 through 2021, we will be required to contribute approximately $140 million to $190 million 
per year to the Plans, depending on asset performance and discount rates. 

Our contributions to other post-employment benefit ("OPEB") plans totaled $2 million in both 2017 and 2016. Other 
postretirement benefit obligations, such as retiree medical, are primarily funded in accordance with a 1993 settlement 
agreement (the "1993 Settlement Agreement") between us, our employees, retirees, and collective bargaining organizations, 
which eliminated certain benefits provided prior to that date and provided for cost sharing between us and participants in the 
form of premiums, co-payments, and deductibles. We expect to contribute $1 million to our OPEB plans during 2018. 

As part of the 1993 Settlement Agreement, a Base Program Trust was established in June 1993 to provide a vehicle for funding 
the health care liability through our contributions and retiree premiums. A separate independent Retiree Supplemental Benefit 
Program was also established, which included our contribution of Class B Common Stock, originally valued at $513 million, to 
potentially reduce retiree premiums, co-payments, and deductibles and provide additional benefits in subsequent periods. In 
addition to the Base Program Trust, we are contingently obligated to make profit sharing contributions to the Retiree 
Supplemental Benefit Trust to potentially improve upon the basic benefits provided through the Base Program Trust. These 
profit sharing contributions are determined by means of a calculation as established through the 1993 Settlement Agreement. 
There were no profit sharing contributions to the Retiree Supplemental Benefit Trust during the years ended October 31, 2017, 
2016 and 2015.

The funded status of our plans is derived by subtracting the actuarially-determined present value of the projected benefit 
obligations from the fair value of plan assets at year end.

The under-funded status of our pension plans on a GAAP basis decreased $281 million during 2017. Higher than expected asset 
returns contributed to the decrease. Our actual return on assets during 2017 was approximately 13.0% for the U.S. pension 
plans. The weighted average discount rate used to measure the postretirement benefit obligation ("PBO") were 3.5% at both 
October 31, 2017 and 2016. 

The under-funded status of our health and life insurance benefits decreased by $273 million. This was primarily driven by 
favorable claims experience and updated trend assumptions.

We continue to seek opportunities to control our pension and other postretirement benefits expenses.

For more information, see Note 10, Postretirement Benefits, to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements 

We enter into various arrangements not recognized in our Consolidated Balance Sheets that have or could have an effect on our 
financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources. The principal off-balance sheet 
arrangements that we enter into are guarantees that could obligate us to make future payments if the primary entity fails to 
perform under its contractual obligations. These include residual value guarantees, for which our losses are generally capped, 
stand-by letters of credit and surety bonds, credit and purchase commitments and indemnifications. We have recognized 
liabilities for some of these guarantees in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as they meet recognition and measurement 
provisions. In addition to the liabilities that have been recognized, we are contingently liable for other potential losses under 
various guarantees that are not recognized in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We do not believe claims that may be made 
under such guarantees would have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. For more 
information, see Note 13, Commitments and Contingencies, to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

(A)  Excludes offsetting discounts and issuance costs of $78 million, Financed Lease Obligations of $130 million, the retirement of the Senior Notes and Term 
Loan, the issuance of the 2025 Notes and execution of the Term Loan Credit Agreement, all of which occurred subsequent to October 31, 2017. For more 
information, see Note 9, Debt, to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

(B)  Amounts represent estimated contractual interest payments on outstanding debt. Rates in effect as of October 31, 2017 are used for variable rate debt. 
Excludes the retirement of the Senior Notes and Term Loan, the issuance of the 2025 Notes and execution of the Term Loan Credit Agreement, all of 
which occurred subsequent to October 31, 2017. After giving effect to these transactions, Interest on long-term debt would be as follows: 2018 - $255 
million; 2019-2020 - $375 million; 2021-2022 - $332 million; 2023 and thereafter - $636 million; in total - $1,598 million. For more information, see 
Note 9, Debt, to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

(C)  We lease many of our facilities as well as other property and equipment under financing arrangements and capital leases in the normal course of business, 
including $5 million of interest obligations. Excludes $1 million capital lease which is non-cash.  For more information, see Note 6, Property and 
Equipment, Net, to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. 

(D)  Lease obligations for facility closures are included in operating leases. Future operating lease obligations are not recognized in our Consolidated Balance 

Sheets. For more information, see Note 6, Property and Equipment, Net, to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. 

(E)  Purchase obligations include various commitments in the ordinary course of business that would include the purchase of goods or services and they are 

not recognized in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. 

Due to the uncertainty with respect to the timing of cash payments associated with the settlement of audits with taxing 
authorities and because of existing net operating loss carryforwards, the preceding table excludes uncertain tax positions of $34 
million. We do not expect to make significant payments of these liabilities within the next year. For additional information, see 
Note 11, Income Taxes, to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. 

In addition to the above contractual obligations, we are also required to fund our Plans in accordance with the requirements of 
the PPA. As such, we expect to contribute approximately $134 million in 2018 to meet the minimum required contributions for 
all Plans. We currently expect that from 2019 through 2021, we will be required to contribute $140 million to $190 million per 
year to the Plans, depending on asset performance and discount rates in the next several years. For additional information, see 
Note 10, Postretirement Benefits, to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Other Information

Income Taxes 

We file a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return for NIC and its eligible domestic subsidiaries. Our non-U.S. subsidiaries 
file income tax returns in their respective local jurisdictions. We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method. 
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for tax benefit carryforwards and the future tax consequences attributable to 
temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax 
bases. Deferred tax liabilities and assets at the end of each period are determined using enacted tax rates. 

As of October 31, 2017 and 2016, we had deferred tax asset valuation allowances of $3.3 billion and $3.4 billion, respectively. 
A valuation allowance is required to be established or maintained when, based on currently available information, it is more 
likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The guidance on accounting for income taxes 
provides that important factors in determining whether a deferred tax asset will be realized are whether there has been sufficient 
taxable income in recent years and whether sufficient taxable income is expected in future years in order to utilize the deferred 
tax asset. 

We believe that our evaluation of deferred tax assets and the need for a valuation allowance against such assets involve critical 
accounting estimates because they are subject to, among other things, estimates of future taxable income in the U.S. and in non-
U.S. tax jurisdictions. These estimates are susceptible to change and dependent upon events that may or may not occur. Our 
assessment of the need for a valuation allowance is material to the assets reported on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and 
changes in the valuation allowance may be material to our results of operations. We intend to continue to assess our valuation 
allowance in accordance with the guidance on accounting for income taxes. 

We may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be 
sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the 
financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent 
likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. 

We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as part of Income tax expense. Total interest and penalties 
related to our uncertain tax positions resulted in an income tax benefit of $6 million and less than $1 million for the years ended 
October 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and an income tax expense of $1 million for the year ended October 31, 2015.

We released $14 million of uncertain tax positions based on administrative practice and precedents of relevant tax authorities in 
2017.

As of October 31, 2017 and 2016, the amount of liability for uncertain tax positions was $34 million and $50 million, 
respectively. If these unrecognized tax benefits are recognized, all would impact our effective tax rate, except for positions for 
which we maintain a full valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets. In this case, the effect may be in the form of 
an increase in the deferred tax asset related to our net operating loss carryforwards, which would be offset by a full valuation 
allowance. While it is probable that the liability for unrecognized tax benefits may increase or decrease during the next twelve 
months, we do not expect any such change would have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or 
cash flows. 

We apply the intraperiod tax allocation rules to allocate income taxes among continuing operations, discontinued operations, 
other comprehensive income (loss), and additional paid-in capital when we meet the criteria as prescribed in the guidance.

Environmental Matters 

We have been named a potentially responsible party ("PRP"), in conjunction with other parties, in a number of cases arising 
under an environmental protection law, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, 
popularly known as the "Superfund" law. These cases involve sites that allegedly received wastes from current or former 
Company locations. Based on information available to us which, in most cases, consists of data related to quantities and 
characteristics of material generated at current or former Company locations, material allegedly shipped by us to these disposal 
sites, as well as cost estimates from PRPs and/or federal or state regulatory agencies for the cleanup of these sites, a reasonable 
estimate is calculated of our share, if any, of the probable costs and accruals and is recorded in our consolidated financial 
statements. These accruals are generally recognized no later than completion of the remedial feasibility study and are not 
discounted to their present value. We review all accruals on a regular basis and believe that, based on these calculations, our 
share of the potential additional costs for the cleanup of each site will not have a material effect on our financial condition, 
results of operations, or cash flows.

In addition, other sites formerly owned by us or where we are currently operating have been identified as having soil and 
groundwater contamination. While investigations and cleanup activities continue at these and other sites, we believe that we 
have appropriate accruals to cover costs to complete the cleanup of all sites.

Impact of Environmental Regulation

Government regulation related to climate change is under consideration at the U.S. federal and state levels. Because our 
products use fossil fuels, they may be impacted indirectly due to regulation, such as a cap and trade program, affecting the cost 
of fuels. The EPA and NHTSA issued final rules for GHG emissions and fuel economy on September 15, 2011. These began to 
apply in calendar year 2014 and were fully implemented in model year 2017. The agencies' stated goals for these rules were to 
increase the use of currently existing technologies. We are complying with these rules through use of existing technologies and 
implementation of emerging technologies as they become available. The EPA and NHTSA adopted a final rule on October 25, 
2016 with the next phase of federal GHG emission and fuel economy regulations. This rule contains more stringent emissions 
levels for engines and vehicles and will take effect in model year 2021 and be implemented in three stages culminating in 
model year 2027. Canada has announced it also is considering a heavy duty phase 2 GHG rulemaking aligned with EPA and 
NHTSA phase 2 rules. In December 2014, California adopted GHG emission rules for heavy duty vehicles equivalent to EPA 
rules and an optional lower emission standard for NOx in California. California has stated its intention to lower NOx standards 
for California-certified engines and has requested that the EPA lower its standards. In June 2016, several regional air quality 
management districts in California and other states, as well as the environmental agencies for several states, petitioned the EPA 
to adopt lower NOx emission standards for on-road heavy duty trucks and engines. EPA and CARB may also consider other 
actions, including extended emission warranties. California is currently considering regulatory requirements to expand the zero 
emissions truck market, including the mandated sale of certain vehicles. We expect that heavy duty vehicle and engine fuel 
economy and GHG emissions rules will be under consideration in other global jurisdictions in the future. These standards will 
require significant investments of capital and will significantly increase costs of development for engines and vehicles, and will 
require us to incur administrative costs arising from implementation of the standard. EPA also issued a final rule in October 
2015 that lowered the National Ambient Air Quality Standard for ozone to 70 parts per billion. This rule could lead to future 
lower emission standards for substances that contribute to ozone, including NOx from vehicles, at the federal and state levels. 
Our facilities may be subject to regulation related to climate change and climate change itself may also have some impact on 
our operations. However, these impacts are currently uncertain and we cannot predict the nature and scope of those impacts.

Securitization Transactions 

None of our securitization or trust arrangements qualify for sales accounting treatment or as an off-balance sheet arrangement. 
As a result, the transferred receivables and the associated secured borrowings are included in our Consolidated Balance Sheets 
and no gain or loss is recorded for these transactions. 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In connection with the preparation of our 
consolidated financial statements, we use estimates and make judgments and assumptions about future events that affect the 
reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and the related disclosures. Our assumptions, estimates, and 
judgments are based on historical experience, current trends, and other factors we believe are relevant at the time we prepare 
our consolidated financial statements.

Our significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the accompanying 
consolidated financial statements and should be reviewed in connection with the following discussion. We believe that the 
following policies are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported results as they require us to 
make difficult, subjective, and complex judgments. In determining whether an estimate is critical, we consider if: 

• 

• 

the nature of the estimate or assumption is material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account 
for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change, or 

the impact of the estimate or assumption on financial condition or operating performance is material. 

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits 

We provide pension and other postretirement benefits to a substantial portion of our employees, former employees, and their 
beneficiaries. The assets, liabilities, and expenses we recognize and disclosures we make about plan actuarial and financial 
information are dependent on the assumptions used in calculating such amounts. The primary assumptions include factors such 
as discount rates, health care cost trend rates, inflation, expected return on plan assets, retirement rates, mortality rates, rate of 
compensation increases, and other factors including management's plans regarding plant rationalization activities. Changes to 
our business environment could result in changes to the assumptions, the effects of which could be material.

• 

Plant rationalization activities impact the determination of whether a plan curtailment or settlement has occurred. Key 
considerations include, but are not limited to, expected future service credit, the remaining years of recall rights of the 
workforce, and the extent to which minimum service requirements (in the case of healthcare benefits) have been met. 

53

•  The discount rates are obtained by matching the anticipated future benefit payments for the plans to a high quality 

corporate bond yield curve to establish a weighted average discount rate for each plan. 

•  Health care cost trend rates are developed based upon historical retiree cost trend data, short term health care outlook, and 

industry benchmarks and surveys. The inflation assumptions used are based upon both our specific trends and nationally 
expected trends. 

•  The expected return on plan assets is derived from historical plan returns, expected long-term performance of asset classes, 
asset allocations, input from an external pension investment advisor, and risks and other factors adjusted for our specific 
investment strategy. The focus is on long-term trends and provides for the consideration of recent plan performance. 

•  Retirement rates are based upon actual and projected plan experience. 

•  Mortality rates are developed from actual and projected plan experience for the U.S. postretirement benefit plans. Our 
actuaries conduct an experience study every five years as part of the process to select a best estimate of mortality. We 
consider both standard mortality tables and improvement factors as well as the plans’ actual experience when selecting a 
best estimate. During 2015, we conducted a new experience study as scheduled and, as a result, updated our mortality 
assumptions. 

•  The rate of compensation increase reflects our long-term actual experience and our projected future increases. 

The sensitivities stated below are based upon changing one assumption at a time, but often economic factors impact multiple 
assumptions simultaneously.

As modeled above, net periodic postretirement benefits expense is not highly sensitive to changes in discount rates in the 
current interest rate environment due to the relatively short duration of the closed plans. 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts 

The allowance for doubtful accounts for finance receivables is established through a charge to Selling, general and 
administrative expenses. The allowance is an estimate of the amount required to absorb losses on the existing portfolio of 
finance receivables that may become uncollectible. We have two portfolio segments of finance receivables based on the type of 
financing inherent to each portfolio. The retail portfolio segment represents loans or leases to end-users for the purchase or 
lease of vehicles. The wholesale portfolio segment represents loans to dealers to finance their inventory. As the initial 
measurement attributes and the monitoring and assessment of credit risk or the performance of the receivables are consistent 
within each of our receivable portfolios, we determined that each portfolio consists of one class of receivable. Finance 
receivables are charged off to the Allowance for doubtful accounts when amounts due from the customers are determined to be 
uncollectible. The estimate of the required allowance for both the retail portfolio segment and the wholesale portfolio segment 
is based upon three factors: (i) a historical component based on actual loss experience and customer payment history, (ii) a 
qualitative component based upon current economic and portfolio quality trends, and (iii) a specific reserve component. The 
qualitative component is the result of analysis of asset quality trend statistics from the most recent twelve quarters. To the 
extent that our judgments about these risk factors and conditions are not accurate, an adjustment to our allowance for losses 
may materially impact our results of operations or financial condition. If we were to apply a hypothetical increase and decrease 
of 10% to the historical loss rate used in calculating the allowance for losses, the required allowance, as of October 31, 2017, 
would increase or decrease by $1 million.

Income Taxes 

We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are 
recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values 
of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets are also recorded with respect to net 
operating losses and other tax attribute carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in 

54

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
effect for the years in which temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Valuation allowances are established 
when, based on currently available information, it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be 
realized. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the income from continuing 
operations in the period that includes the enactment date. 

The ultimate recovery of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the amount and timing of future taxable income and other 
factors such as the taxing jurisdiction in which the asset is to be recovered. A high degree of judgment is required to determine 
if, and the extent to which, valuation allowances should be recorded against deferred tax assets. We have provided valuation 
allowances at October 31, 2017 and 2016 aggregating $3.3 billion and $3.4 billion, respectively, against such assets based on 
our assessment of past operating results, estimates of future taxable income, and the feasibility of tax planning strategies. 
Although we believe that our approach to estimates and judgments as described herein is reasonable, actual results could differ 
and we may be exposed to increases or decreases in income taxes that could be material. 

We recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return only if it is more 
likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the 
position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit 
that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. We recognize interest and penalties 
related to uncertain tax positions as part of Income tax expense. 

We apply the intraperiod tax allocation rules to allocate income taxes among continuing operations, discontinued operations, 
other comprehensive income (loss), and additional paid-in capital when we meet the criteria as prescribed in the guidance.

Impairment of Long-Lived and Indefinite-Lived Assets 

We test long-lived assets (other than goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives) or asset groups for recoverability 
when events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. Estimates of 
undiscounted future cash flows used to test the recoverability of a long-lived asset or asset group include only the future cash 
flows that are directly associated with and that are expected to arise as a direct result of the use and eventual disposition of the 
asset or asset group. If the asset or asset group is determined to not be recoverable, an impairment loss is measured as the 
amount by which the carrying amount of the long-lived asset or asset group exceeds its fair value.

Our impairment loss calculations require us to apply judgments in estimating future cash flows and asset fair values. This 
judgment includes developing cash flow projections and, at times, assessing probability weightings to certain business 
scenarios. Other long-lived assets could become impaired in the future or require additional charges as a result of declines in 
profitability due to changes in volume, market pricing, cost, manner in which an asset is used, expectation of sale or disposal of 
an asset, physical condition of an asset, laws and regulations, or the business environment. Significant adverse changes to our 
business environment and future cash flows could cause us to record additional impairment charges in future periods, which 
could be material.

Contingency Accruals 

Product liability lawsuits and claims 

We are subject to product liability lawsuits and claims in the normal course of business. We record product liability accruals for 
the self-insured portion of any pending or threatened product liability actions. 

We estimate the expected ultimate losses for claims and, consequently, the related reserve in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. 
The actual settlement values of outstanding claims in the aggregate may differ from these estimates due to many circumstances, 
including but not limited to: (i) the discovery and evolution of information related to individual claims, (ii) changes in the legal 
and regulatory environment, (iii) product development trends, and (iv) changes in the frequency and/or severity of claims 
relative to historical experience. 

The reserve for product liability was $49 million as of October 31, 2017 and a hypothetical 10% change, excluding excess 
liability insurance in claim amount would increase or decrease this accrual by $5 million. 

Environmental remediation matters 

We are subject to claims by various governmental authorities related to environmental remediation matters.

With regard to environmental remediation, many factors are involved including interpretations of local, state, and federal laws 
and regulations, and whether wastes or other hazardous material are contaminating the surrounding land or water or have the 
potential to cause such contamination.

As of October 31, 2017, we have accrued $19 million for environmental remediation. Although we believe that the estimates 
and judgments discussed herein are reasonable, actual results could differ and we may be exposed to increases or decreases in 
our accrual that could be material. 

55

Asbestos claims 

We are subject to claims related to illnesses alleged to have resulted from asbestos exposure from component parts found in 
older vehicles, although some claims relate to the alleged presence of asbestos in our facilities. Numerous factors including tort 
reform, jury awards, and the number of other solvent companies identified as co-defendants will impact the number of claims 
filed against us.

We estimate the expected ultimate losses for claims and, consequently, the related reserve in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. 
The estimates related to asbestos claims are subject to uncertainty. Such uncertainty includes some reliance on industry data to 
project the future frequency of claims received by us, the long latency period associated with asbestos exposures and the types 
of diseases that will ultimately manifest, and unexpected future inflationary trends. Historically, actual damages paid out to 
individual claimants have not been material. Although we believe that our estimates and judgments related to asbestos related 
claims are reasonable, actual results could differ and we may be exposed to increases or decreases in our accrual that could be 
material.

Product Warranty 

We generally offer one to five-year warranty coverage for our truck, bus, and engine products, as well as our service parts. 
Terms and conditions vary by product, customer, and country. We accrue warranty related costs under standard warranty terms 
and for certain claims outside the contractual obligation period that we choose to pay as accommodations to our customers. 

Our warranty estimates are established using historical information about the nature, frequency, timing, and average cost of 
warranty claims. Warranty claims are influenced by numerous factors, including new product introductions, technological 
developments, the competitive environment, the design and manufacturing process, and the complexity and related costs of 
component parts. We estimate our warranty accrual for our engines and trucks based on engine types and model years. Our 
warranty accruals take into account the projected ultimate cost-per-unit ("CPU") utilizing historical claims information. The 
CPU represents the total cash projected to be spent for warranty claims for a particular model year during the warranty period, 
divided by the number of units sold. The projection of the ultimate CPU is affected by component failure rates, repair costs, and 
the timing of failures in the product life cycle. Warranty claims inherently have a high amount of variability in timing and 
severity and can be influenced by external factors. Our warranty estimation process takes into consideration numerous variables 
that contribute to the precision of the estimate, but also add to the complexity of the model. Including numerous variables also 
reduces the sensitivity of the model to any one variable. We perform periodic reviews of warranty spend data to allow for 
timely consideration of the effects on warranty accruals. 

Initial warranty estimates for new model year products are based on the previous model year product's warranty experience 
until the new product progresses sufficiently through its life cycle and related claims data becomes mature. Historically, 
warranty claims experience for launch-year products has been higher compared to the prior model-year engines; however, over 
time we have been able to refine both the design and manufacturing process to reduce both the volume and the severity of 
warranty claims. New product launches require a greater use of judgment in developing estimates until historical experience 
becomes available. 

We record adjustments to pre-existing warranties for changes in our estimate of warranty costs for products sold in prior fiscal 
years. Such adjustments typically occur when claims experience deviates from historic and expected trends. During 2017, we 
recognized a benefit for adjustments to pre-existing warranties of $1 million compared to charges of $77 million and $1 million 
in 2016 and 2015, respectively. 

When we identify cost effective opportunities to address issues in products sold or corrective actions for safety issues, we 
initiate product recalls or field campaigns. As a result of the uncertainty surrounding the nature and frequency of product recalls 
and field campaigns, the liability for such actions is generally recorded when we commit to a product recall or field campaign. 
In each subsequent quarter after a recall or field campaign is initiated the recorded liability balance is analyzed, reviewed, and 
adjusted if necessary to reflect any changes in the anticipated average cost of repair or number of repairs to be completed 
prospectively. Included in 2017 warranty expense was $21 million of charges related to new field campaign issuances as well 
as changes in estimates of previously issued campaigns, as compared to $17 million and $12 million in 2016 and 2015, 
respectively. The charges were primarily recognized as adjustments to pre-existing warranties. 

As we continue to identify opportunities to improve the design and manufacturing of our engines we may incur additional 
charges for product recalls and field campaigns to address identified issues.

Optional extended warranty contracts can be purchased for periods ranging from one to ten years. Warranty revenues related to 
extended warranty contracts are amortized to income, over the life of the contract using the straight-line method. Costs under 
extended warranty contracts are expensed as incurred. We recognize losses on defined pools of extended warranty contracts 
when the expected costs for a given pool of contracts exceed related unearned revenue. In 2017, we recognized net charges 
of $8 million related to extended warranty contracts on our proprietary Big-Bore engines, which includes charges of $3 

56

million related to pre-existing warranties. In 2016, we recognized a net charge of $34 million related to extended warranty 
contracts on our proprietary Big-Bore engines, which includes a charge of $26 million related to pre-existing warranties. Future 
warranty experience, pricing of extended warranty contracts, and external market factors may cause us to recognize additional 
charges as losses on extended service contracts in future periods.

When collection is reasonably assured, we also estimate the amount of warranty claim recoveries to be received from our 
suppliers and record them in Other current assets and Other noncurrent assets. Recoveries related to specific product recalls, in 
which a supplier confirms its liability under the recall, are recorded in Trade and other receivables, net. Warranty costs and 
recoveries are included in Costs of products sold. 

Although we believe that the estimates and judgments discussed herein are reasonable, actual results could differ and we may 
be exposed to increases or decreases in our warranty accrual that could be material.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Our gross used truck inventory decreased to approximately $206 million 
at October 31, 2017 from $410 million at October 31, 2016, offset by reserves of $110 million and $208 million, respectively. 

In valuing our used truck inventory, we are required to make assumptions regarding the level of reserves required to value 
inventories at their net realizable value ("NRV"). Our judgments and estimates for used truck inventory are based on an 
analysis of current and forecasted sales prices, aging of and demand for used trucks, and the mix of sales through various 
market channels. The estimated NRV is subject to change based on numerous conditions taking into account age, 
specifications, mileage, timing of sales, market mix, and current and forecasted pricing. While calculations are made involving 
these factors, significant management judgment regarding expectations for future events is involved. Future events that could 
significantly influence our judgment and related estimates include general economic conditions in markets where our products 
are sold, actions of our competitors, and the ability to sell used trucks in a timely manner.

Item 7A.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Our primary market risks include fluctuations in interest rates and currency exchange rates. We are also exposed to changes in 
the prices of commodities used in our Manufacturing operations. Commodity price risk related to our current commodity 
financial instruments are not material. We do not hold a material portfolio of market risk sensitive instruments for trading 
purposes. 

We have established policies and procedures to manage sensitivity to interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate market 
risk. These procedures include the monitoring of our level of exposure to each market risk, the funding of variable rate 
receivables primarily with variable rate debt, and limiting the amount of fixed rate receivables that may be funded with floating 
rate debt. These procedures also include the use of derivative financial instruments to mitigate the effects of interest rate 
fluctuations and to reduce our exposure to exchange rate risk. 

Interest rate risk 

Interest rate risk is the risk that we will incur economic losses due to adverse changes in interest rates. We measure our interest 
rate risk by estimating the net amount by which the fair value of all of our interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities would be 
impacted by selected hypothetical changes in market interest rates. Fair value is estimated using a discounted cash flow 
analysis. At both October 31, 2017 and 2016, the net fair value of our liabilities with exposure to interest rate risk was $5 
billion. Assuming a hypothetical instantaneous 10% adverse change in interest rates as of October 31, 2017 and 2016, the fair 
value of these liabilities would increase by $91 million and $107 million, respectively. At both October 31, 2017 and 2016, the 
net fair value of our assets with exposure to interest rate risk was $2 billion. Assuming a hypothetical instantaneous 10% 
adverse change in interest rates as of October 31, 2017 and 2016, the fair value of these assets would decrease by $4 million 
and $3 million, respectively. Our interest rate sensitivity analysis assumes a parallel shift in interest rate yield curves. The 
analysis, therefore, does not reflect the potential impact of changes in the relationship between short-term and long-term 
interest rates. 

Commodity price risk 

We are exposed to changes in the prices of commodities, particularly for aluminum, copper, precious metals, resins, diesel fuel, 
and steel and their impact on the acquisition cost of various parts used in our Manufacturing operations. We have been able to 
mitigate the effects of price increases via a combination of design changes, material substitution, global sourcing, and price 
performance. In certain cases, we use derivative instruments to reduce exposure to price changes. During 2017 and 2016, we 
purchased approximately $376 million and $302 million, respectively, of commodities subject to market risk. Assuming a 
hypothetical instantaneous 10% adverse change in commodity pricing, we would have incurred an additional $38 million and 
$30 million in 2017 and 2016, respectively, of costs. Commodity price risk associated with our derivative position at October 
31, 2017 and 2016 is not material to our operating results or financial position.

 Foreign currency risk 

Foreign currency risk is the risk that we will incur economic losses due to adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates. 
Our primary exposures to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations are the Canadian dollar/U.S. dollar, Mexican peso/
U.S. dollar, euro/U.S. dollar, and Brazilian real/U.S. dollar. At October 31, 2017 and 2016, the net fair value of our liabilities 
with exposure to foreign currency risk was $238 million and $283 million, respectively. Assuming that no offsetting derivative 
financial instruments exist, the reduction in earnings from a hypothetical instantaneous 10% adverse change in quoted foreign 
currency spot rates applied to foreign currency sensitive instruments would be $24 million and $28 million at October 31, 2017 
and 2016, respectively. At October 31, 2017 and 2016, the net fair value of our assets with exposure to foreign currency risk 
was $168 million and $206 million, respectively. Assuming that no offsetting derivative financial instruments exist, the 
reduction in earnings from a hypothetical instantaneous 10% adverse change in quoted foreign currency spot rates applied to 
foreign currency sensitive instruments would be $17 million and $21 million at October 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Measurements to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Navistar International Corporation:

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets  of  Navistar  International  Corporation  and subsidiaries  (the 
Company) as of October 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), 
stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended October 31, 2017. These consolidated 
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 
consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements 
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures 
in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by 
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable 
basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position 
of Navistar International Corporation and subsidiaries as of October 31, 2017 and 2016, and the results of their operations and 
their cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended October 31, 2017, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted 
accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), 
Navistar International Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of October 31, 2017, based on criteria established 
in  Internal  Control  -  Integrated  Framework  (2013)  issued  by  the  Committee  of  Sponsoring  Organizations  of  the  Treadway 
Commission  (COSO),  and  our  report  dated  December 19,  2017  expressed  an  unqualified  opinion  on  the  effectiveness  of  the 
Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Navistar International Corporation:

We have audited Navistar International Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of October 31, 2017, based on 
criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of 
the Treadway Commission (COSO). Navistar International Corporation’s management is responsible for maintaining effective 
internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, 
included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A(c) 
of the Company’s October 31, 2017 annual report on Form 10-K. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s 
internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control 
over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control 
over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating 
effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we 
considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability 
of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted 
accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain 
to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets 
of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial 
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are 
being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable 
assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that 
could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because  of  its  inherent  limitations,  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  may  not  prevent  or  detect  misstatements. Also, 
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because 
of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, Navistar International Corporation maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial 
reporting as of October 31, 2017, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the 
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the 
consolidated balance sheets of Navistar International Corporation and subsidiaries as of October 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related 
consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the years 
in the three-year period ended October 31, 2017, and our report dated December 19, 2017 expressed an unqualified opinion on 
those consolidated financial statements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization and Description of the Business

Navistar International Corporation ("NIC"), incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in 1993, is a holding company 
whose principal operating entities are Navistar, Inc. ("NI") and Navistar Financial Corporation ("NFC"). References herein to 
the "Company," "we," "our," or "us" refer collectively to NIC and its consolidated subsidiaries, including certain variable 
interest entities ("VIEs") of which we are the primary beneficiary. We operate in four principal industry segments: Truck, Parts, 
Global Operations (collectively called "Manufacturing operations"), and Financial Services, which consists of NFC and our 
foreign finance operations (collectively called "Financial Services operations"). These segments are discussed in Note 14, 
Segment Reporting.

Our fiscal year ends on October 31. As such, all references to 2017, 2016, and 2015 contained within this Annual Report on 
Form 10-K relate to the fiscal year, unless otherwise indicated.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The accompanying audited consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of our 
Manufacturing operations, which include majority-owned dealers ("Dealcors"), and our Financial Services operations, 
including VIEs of which we are the primary beneficiary. The effects of transactions among consolidated entities have been 
eliminated to arrive at the consolidated amounts.

Variable Interest Entities

We have an interest in several VIEs, primarily joint ventures, established to manufacture or distribute products and enhance our 
operational capabilities. We have determined for certain of our VIEs that we are the primary beneficiary because we have the 
power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance and we have the obligation to 
absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Accordingly, we 
include in our consolidated financial statements the assets and liabilities and results of operations of those entities, even though 
we may not own a majority voting interest. The liabilities recognized as a result of consolidating these VIEs do not represent 
additional claims on our general assets; rather they represent claims against the specific assets of these VIEs. Assets of these 
entities are not readily available to satisfy claims against our general assets.

We are the primary beneficiary of our Blue Diamond Parts, LLC ("BDP") joint venture with Ford Motor Company ("Ford"). As 
a result, our Consolidated Balance Sheets include assets of $49 million and $51 million and liabilities of $13 million and $16 
million as of October 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, including $10 million and $6 million of cash and cash equivalents, at the 
respective dates, which are not readily available to satisfy claims against our general assets. The creditors of BDP do not have 
recourse to our general credit.

On May 29, 2015, we acquired Ford's remaining 25% ownership in our Blue Diamond Truck, LLC ("BDT") joint venture for 
$27 million. The acquisition of Ford's remaining ownership of the BDT joint venture did not have a material impact on our 
consolidated net loss for the year ended October 31, 2015.

Our Financial Services segment consolidates several VIEs. As a result, our Consolidated Balance Sheets include secured assets 
of $869 million and $865 million as of October 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and liabilities of $754 million and $722 
million as of October 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, all of which are involved in securitizations that are treated as asset-
backed debt. In addition, our Consolidated Balance Sheets include secured assets of $278 million and $249 million as of 
October 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and corresponding liabilities of $194 million and $136 million, at the respective dates, 
which are related to other secured transactions that do not qualify for sale accounting treatment, and therefore, are treated as 
borrowings secured by operating and finance leases. Investors that hold securitization debt have a priority claim on the cash 
flows generated by their respective securitized assets to the extent that the related VIEs are required to make principal and 
interest payments. Investors in securitizations of these entities have no recourse to our general credit. 

We also have an interest in other VIEs, which we do not consolidate because we are not the primary beneficiary. Our financial 
support and maximum loss exposure relating to these non-consolidated VIEs are not material to our financial condition, results 
of operations, or cash flows. 

We use the equity method to account for our investments in entities that we do not control under the voting interest or variable 
interest models, but where we have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies. Equity in 
income of non-consolidated affiliates includes our share of the net income of these entities.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

Related Party Transactions

We follow Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 850 for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party 
transactions. A  party  is  considered  to  be  related  to  the  Company  if  the  party  directly  or  indirectly  or  through  one  or  more 
intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal 
owners  of  the  Company,  its  management,  members  of  the  immediate  families  of  principal  owners  of  the  Company  and  its 
management and other parties with which the Company may deal. 

We have a series of commercial relationships with Volkswagen Truck & Bus GmbH ("VW T&B") and its subsidiaries and its 
affiliates for royalties related to certain engine technology, contract manufacturing and the sale of engines, and the sale and purchase 
of parts. Engine technology royalty payments were approximately $1 million for engine technology and revenue related to contract 
manufacturing and the sale of engines and parts was approximately $119 million for the year ended October 31, 2017. The Company 
has also entered into procurement and other arrangements with VW T&B during 2017 and payments under the arrangements were 
not material in 2017, but the Company has agreed to pay certain future engine and transmission development costs of up to an 
aggregate of approximately $58 million as we make purchases or as costs are incurred by VW T&B.

Revenue Recognition 

Our Manufacturing operations recognize revenue when we meet four basic criteria: (i) persuasive evidence that a customer 
arrangement exists, (ii) the price is fixed or determinable, (iii) collectability is reasonably assured, and (iv) delivery of product 
has occurred or services have been rendered. Sales are generally recognized when risk of ownership passes. 

Sales to fleet customers and governmental entities are recognized in accordance with the terms of each contract. Revenue on 
certain customer requested bill and hold arrangements is not recognized until after the customer is notified that the product 
(i) has been completed according to customer specifications, (ii) has passed our quality control inspections, and (iii) is ready for 
delivery based upon the established delivery terms and risk of loss has transferred.

An allowance for sales returns is recorded as a reduction to revenue based upon estimates using historical information about 
returns. For the sale of service parts that include a core component, we record revenue on a gross basis including the fair market 
value of the core. A core component is the basic forging or casting, such as an engine block, that can be remanufactured by a 
certified remanufacturing supplier. When a dealer returns a core within the specified eligibility period, we provide a core return 
credit, which is applied to the customer's account balance. At times, we may mark up the core charge beyond the amount we are 
charged by the supplier. This mark-up is recorded as a liability, as it represents the amount that will be paid to the dealer upon 
return of the core component and is in excess of the fair value to be received from the supplier. 

Concurrent with our recognition of revenue, we recognize price allowances and the cost of incentive programs in the normal 
course of business based on programs offered to dealers or fleet customers. Estimates are made for sales incentives on certain 
vehicles in dealer stock inventory based on historical experience and announced special programs. Historically, we have had an 
increase in net orders for stock inventory from our dealers at the end of the year due to a combination of demand and, from time 
to time, incentives to dealers. 

Truck sales to the U.S. and foreign governments of non-commercial products manufactured to government specifications, and 
other contract manufacturing arrangements, are recognized using the units-of-delivery measure under the percentage-of-
completion accounting method as units are delivered and accepted, if required, by the customer.

Certain terms or modifications to U.S. and foreign government contracts may be unpriced; that is, the work to be performed is 
defined, but the related contract price is to be negotiated at a later date. In situations where we can reliably estimate a profit 
margin in excess of costs incurred, revenue and gross margin are recorded for delivered contract items.  Otherwise, revenue is 
recognized when the price has been agreed with the government and costs are deferred when it is probable that the costs will be 
recovered. 

Shipping and handling amounts billed to our customers are included in Sales of manufactured products, net and the related 
shipping and handling costs incurred are included in Costs of products sold. 

Financial Services operations recognize revenue from retail notes, finance leases, wholesale notes, retail accounts, and 
wholesale accounts as Finance revenues over the term of the receivables utilizing the effective interest method. Certain direct 
origination costs and fees are deferred and recognized as adjustments to yield and are reported as part of interest income over 
the life of the receivable. Loans are considered to be impaired when we conclude it is probable the customer will not be able to 
make full payment according to contractual terms after reviewing the customer's financial performance, payment ability, 
capital-raising potential, management style, economic situation, and other factors. The accrual of interest on such loans is 
discontinued when the loan becomes 90 days or more past due. Finance revenues on these loans are recognized only to the 

68

Navistar International Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

extent cash payments are received. We resume accruing interest on these accounts when payments are current according to the 
terms of the loans and future payments are reasonably assured. 

Operating lease revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease. Recognition of revenue is suspended 
when management determines the collection of future revenue is not probable. Recognition of revenue is resumed if collection 
again becomes probable. 

Selected receivables are securitized and sold to public and private investors with limited recourse. Our Financial Services 
operations continue to service the sold receivables. These transactions do not qualify for sale accounting under U.S. GAAP and 
are therefore accounted for as secured borrowing transactions.

Cash and Cash Equivalents 

All highly liquid financial instruments with original maturities of 90 days or less, consisting primarily of U.S. Treasury bills, 
federal agency securities, and commercial paper, are classified as cash equivalents. 

Restricted cash is related to our securitization facilities, senior and subordinated floating rate asset-backed notes, wholesale 
trust agreements, indentured trust agreements, letters of credit, Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") requirements, and 
workers compensation requirements. The restricted cash and cash equivalents for our securitized facilities is restricted to pay 
interest expense, principal, or other amounts associated with our securitization agreements. 

Marketable Securities 

Marketable securities consist of available-for-sale securities and are measured and reported at fair value. The difference 
between amortized cost and fair value is recorded as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss ("AOCL") in 
Stockholders' Deficit, net of taxes. Most securities with remaining maturities of less than twelve months and other investments 
needed for current cash requirements are classified as current in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Gains and losses on the sale 
of marketable securities are determined using the specific identification method and are recorded in Other income, net. 

We evaluate our investments in marketable securities at the end of each reporting period to determine if a decline in fair value is 
other than temporary. When a decline in fair value is determined to be other than temporary, an impairment charge is recorded 
and a new cost basis in the investment is established. Our marketable securities are classified as Level 1 in the fair value 
hierarchy. 

Derivative Instruments 

We utilize derivative instruments to manage certain exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, and 
commodity prices. The fair values of all derivative instruments are recognized as assets or liabilities at the balance sheet date. 
Changes in the fair value of these derivative instruments are recognized in our operating results or included in AOCL, 
depending on whether the derivative instrument is a fair value or cash flow hedge and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting 
treatment. We elected to apply the normal purchase and normal sale exclusion to certain commodity contracts that are entered 
into to be used in production within a reasonable time during the normal course of business. For the years ended October 31, 
2017, 2016, and 2015, we elected not to use hedge accounting and all changes in the fair value of our derivatives, except for 
those qualifying under the normal purchases and normal sales exception, were recognized in our operating results. 

Gains and losses on derivative instruments are recognized in Costs of products sold, Interest expense, or Other income, net 
depending on the underlying exposure. The exchange of cash associated with derivative transactions is classified in the 
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in the same category as the cash flows from the items subject to the economic hedging 
relationships. 

Trade and Finance Receivables 

Trade Receivables 

Trade accounts receivable and trade notes receivable primarily arise from sales of goods to independently owned and operated 
dealers, original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs"), and commercial customers in the normal course of business. 

Finance Receivables 

Finance receivables consist of the following: 

•  Retail notes—Retail notes primarily consist of fixed rate loans to commercial customers to facilitate their purchase of new 

and used trucks, and related equipment. 

69

Navistar International Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

•  Finance leases—Finance leases consist of direct financing leases to commercial customers for acquisition of new and 

used trucks, and related equipment. 

•  Wholesale notes—Wholesale notes primarily consist of variable rate loans to our dealers for the purchase of new and used 

trucks, and related equipment. 

•  Retail accounts—Retail accounts consist of short-term accounts receivable that finance the sale of products to commercial 

customers. 

•  Wholesale accounts—Wholesale accounts consist of short-term accounts receivable primarily related to the sales of items 

other than trucks, and related equipment (e.g. service parts) to dealers. 

Finance receivables are classified as held-to-maturity and are recorded at gross value less unearned income and are reported net 
of allowances for doubtful accounts. Unearned revenue is amortized to revenue over the life of the receivable using the 
effective interest method. Our Financial Services operations purchase the majority of the wholesale notes receivable and some 
retail notes and accounts receivable arising from our Manufacturing operations. The Financial Services operations retain as 
collateral a security interest in the equipment associated with retail notes, wholesale notes, and finance leases.

Sales of Trade and Finance Receivables 

We sell finance receivables using a process commonly known as securitization, whereby asset-backed securities are sold via 
public offering or private placement. None of our securitizations qualify for sales accounting treatment or as an off-balance 
sheet arrangement.  As a result, the transferred receivables and the associated secured borrowings are included in our 
Consolidated Balance Sheets and no gain or loss is recorded on the sale. 

We also act as servicer of transferred receivables. The servicing duties include collecting payments on receivables and 
preparing monthly investor reports on the performance of the receivables that are used by the trustee to distribute monthly 
interest and principal payments to investors. While servicing the receivables, we apply the same servicing policies and 
procedures that are applied to our owned receivables.

On a limited basis, we have sold certain receivables to third party lenders, without recourse or future obligations, and generally 
with no gain or loss.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts 

An allowance for doubtful accounts is established through a charge to Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses. 
The allowance is an estimate of the amount required to absorb probable losses on trade and finance receivables that may 
become uncollectible. The receivables are charged off when amounts due are determined to be uncollectible. 

We have two portfolio segments of finance receivables based on the type of financing inherent to each portfolio. The retail 
portfolio segment represents loans or leases to end-users for the purchase or lease of vehicles. The wholesale portfolio segment 
represents loans to dealers to finance their inventory. As the initial measurement attributes and the monitoring and assessment 
of credit risk or the performance of the receivables are consistent within each of our receivable portfolios, we determined that 
each portfolio consisted of one class of receivable.

Impaired receivables are specifically identified and segregated from the remaining portfolio. The expected loss on impaired 
receivables is fully reserved in a separate calculation as a specific reserve based on the unique ability of the customer to pay and 
the estimated value of the collateral. The historical loss experience and portfolio quality trends of the retail portfolio segment 
compared to the wholesale portfolio segment are inherently different. A specific reserve on impaired retail receivables is 
recorded if the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, net of selling costs, is less than the principal balance of the 
receivable. We calculate a general reserve on the remaining loan portfolio by applying loss ratios which are determined using 
actual loss experience and customer payment history, in conjunction with current economic and portfolio quality trends. In 
addition, we analyze specific economic indicators such as tonnage, fuel prices, and gross domestic product for additional 
insight into the overall state of the economy and its potential impact on our portfolio.

To establish a specific reserve for impaired wholesale receivables, we consider the same factors discussed above but also 
consider the financial strength of the dealer and key management, the timeliness of payments, the number and location of 
satellite locations, the number of dealers of competitor manufacturers in the market area, the type of equipment normally 
financed, and the seasonality of the business. 

70

Navistar International Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

Repossessions 

Gains or losses arising from the sale of repossessed collateral supporting finance receivables and operating leases are 
recognized in Selling, general and administrative expenses. Repossessed assets are recorded within Inventories at the lower of 
historical cost or fair value, less estimated costs to sell.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is principally determined using the first-in, first-out method. Our 
gross used truck inventory decreased to approximately $206 million at October 31, 2017 from $410 million at October 31, 
2016, offset by reserves of $110 million and $208 million, respectively. 

In valuing our used truck inventory, we are required to make assumptions regarding the level of reserves required to value 
inventories at their net realizable value ("NRV"). Our judgments and estimates for used truck inventory are based on an analysis 
of current and forecasted sales prices, aging of and demand for used trucks, and the mix of sales through various market 
channels. The NRV is subject to change based on numerous conditions, including age, specifications, mileage, timing of sales, 
market mix and current and forecasted pricing. While calculations are made after taking these factors into account, significant 
management judgment regarding expectations for future events is involved. Future events that could significantly influence our 
judgment and related estimates include general economic conditions in markets where our products are sold, actions of our 
competitors, and the ability to sell used trucks in a timely manner.

The following table presents our used truck reserve:

Additions charged to expense reflects the increase of the reserve for inventory on hand. During 2017, we implemented a shift in market mix to 
include an increase in volume to certain export markets, which have a lower price point as compared to sales through our domestic channels, and 
lower domestic pricing to enable higher sales velocity.

Deductions/Other adjustments include reductions of the reserve related to the sale of units and our Mexican subsidiary currency translation 
adjustments.

Property and Equipment 

We report land, buildings, leasehold improvements, machinery and equipment (including tooling and pattern equipment), 
furniture, fixtures, and equipment, and equipment leased to others at cost, net of depreciation. We initially record assets under 
capital lease obligations at the lower of their fair value or the present value of the aggregate future minimum lease payments. 
We depreciate our assets using the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful lives of the 
assets. 

The ranges of estimated useful lives are as follows: 

Buildings......................................................................................................................................................................
Leasehold improvements.............................................................................................................................................
Machinery and equipment ...........................................................................................................................................
Furniture, fixtures, and equipment ..............................................................................................................................
Equipment leased to others..........................................................................................................................................

1 - 10

Long-lived assets are evaluated periodically to determine if an adjustment to the depreciation and amortization period or to the 
unamortized balance is warranted. Such evaluation is based principally on the expected utilization of the long-lived assets. 

We depreciate trucks, tractors, and trailers leased to customers under operating lease agreements on a straight-line basis to the 
equipment's estimated residual value over the lease term. The residual values of the equipment represent estimates of the value 

71

Navistar International Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

of the assets at the end of the lease contracts and are initially recorded based on estimates of future market values. Realization 
of the residual values is dependent on our future ability to market the equipment. We review residual values periodically to 
determine that recorded amounts are appropriate and the equipment is not impaired. 

Maintenance and repairs of property and equipment are expensed as incurred. We capitalize replacements and improvements 
that increase the estimated useful life or productive capacity of an asset and we capitalize interest on major construction and 
development projects while in progress. 

Gains or losses on disposition of property and equipment are recognized in Other income, net. 

We test for impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an 
asset or asset group (hereinafter referred to as "asset group") may not be recoverable by comparing the sum of the estimated 
undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the operation of the asset group and its eventual disposition to the 
carrying value. During 2017, we identified a triggering event related to continued economic weakness in Brazil which resulted 
in the decline in forecasted results for the Brazilian asset group. The Brazilian asset group is included in the Global Operations 
segment. As a result, we estimated the recoverable amount of the asset group and determined that the sum of the undiscounted 
future cash flows exceeds the carrying value and the asset group was not impaired. Significant adverse changes to our business 
environment and future cash flows could cause us to record impairment charges in future periods, which could be material.

Included in equipment leased to others are trucks that we produced or acquired to lease to customers as well as equipment that 
is financed by BMO that does not qualify for revenue recognition, as we retained substantial risks of ownership in the leased 
property, which are accounted for as operating leases and borrowings, respectively. In the Consolidated Statement of Cash 
Flows the related expenditures are reflected as the Purchases of equipment leased to others in the investing section.

Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquired business over the amounts assigned to the net assets. Goodwill is not 
amortized but is tested for impairment at a reporting unit level on an annual basis or more frequently, if circumstances change 
or an event occurs that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. 

Qualitative factors may be assessed to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less 
than its carrying amount. If the qualitative assessment indicates that the carrying amount is more likely than not higher than the 
fair value, goodwill is tested for impairment based on a two-step test. The first step compares the fair value of a reporting unit 
with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the 
reporting unit is considered not impaired, thus the second step of the impairment test is unnecessary. If the carrying amount of a 
reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test shall be performed to measure the amount 
of impairment loss, if any. The second step compares the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount 
of that goodwill. If the carrying amount of reporting unit goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an 
impairment loss shall be recognized in an amount equal to that excess.

Significant judgment is applied when goodwill is assessed for impairment. This judgment includes developing cash flow 
projections, selecting appropriate discount rates, identifying relevant market comparables, incorporating general economic and 
market conditions, and selecting an appropriate control premium. The income approach is based on discounted cash flows 
which are derived from internal forecasts and economic expectations for each respective reporting unit. 

An intangible asset determined to have an indefinite useful life is not amortized until its useful life is determined to no longer 
be indefinite. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are evaluated each reporting period to determine whether events and 
circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually 
or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The impairment test consists 
of a comparison of the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of an 
indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. 

Significant judgment is applied when evaluating if an intangible asset has a finite useful life. In addition, for indefinite-lived 
intangible assets, significant judgment is applied in testing for impairment. This judgment includes developing cash flow 
projections, selecting appropriate discount rates, identifying relevant market comparables, and incorporating general economic 
and market conditions.

Intangible assets subject to amortization are also evaluated for impairment periodically or when indicators of impairment are 
determined to exist. We test for impairment of intangible assets, subject to amortization, by comparing the sum of the estimated 
undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the operation of the asset group and its eventual disposition to the 
carrying value. If the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying value, the fair value of the asset group 
is determined. The amount of impairment is calculated by subtracting the fair value of the asset group from the carrying value 
72

of the asset group. Intangible assets, subject to amortization, could become impaired in the future or require additional charges 
as a result of declines in profitability due to changes in volume, market pricing, cost, manner in which an asset is used, physical 
condition of an asset, laws and regulations, or the business environment. We amortize the cost of intangible assets over their 
respective estimated useful lives, generally on a straight-line basis. 

The ranges for the amortization periods are generally as follows:

During the third quarter of 2015, the economic downturn in Brazil resulted in the continued decline in actual and forecasted 
results for the Brazilian engine reporting unit with an indefinite-lived intangible asset, a trademark, of $24 million. As a result, 
we performed an impairment analysis in the third quarter of 2015 utilizing the income approach, based on discounted cash 
flows, which are derived from internal forecasts and economic expectations. It was determined that the carrying value of the 
trademark exceeded its fair value. As a result, we determined that the trademark was impaired and recognized an impairment 
charge of $3 million. In the third quarter of 2016, we recognized an additional impairment charge of $1 million related to this 
trademark. The non-cash impairment charges were included in Asset impairment charges in our Consolidated Statements of 
Operations. The Brazilian engine reporting unit is included in the Global Operations segment.

Investments in Non-consolidated Affiliates 

Equity method investments are recorded at original cost and adjusted periodically to recognize (i) our proportionate share of the 
investees' net income or losses after the date of investment, (ii) additional contributions made and dividends or distributions 
received, and (iii) impairment losses resulting from adjustments to fair value. 

We assess the potential impairment of our equity method investments and determine fair value based on valuation 
methodologies, as appropriate, including the present value of estimated future cash flows, estimates of sales proceeds, and 
market multiples. If an investment is determined to be impaired and the decline in value is other than temporary, we record an 
appropriate write-down. 

Debt Issuance Costs 

We amortize debt issuance costs, discounts and premiums over the remaining life of the related debt using the effective interest 
method. The related income or expense is included in Interest expense. We record debt issuance costs, discounts and premiums 
associated with term debt as a direct deduction from, or addition to, the face amount of the debt. We record debt issuance costs 
associated with line-of-credit debt as noncurrent assets. 

Pensions and Postretirement Benefits 

We use actuarial methods and assumptions to account for our pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans. Pension and 
other postretirement benefits expense includes the actuarially computed cost of benefits earned during the current service 
period, the interest cost on accrued obligations, the expected return on plan assets, the straight-line amortization of net actuarial 
gains and losses and plan amendments, and adjustments due to settlements and curtailments. 

Engineering and Product Development Costs 

Engineering and product development costs arise from ongoing costs associated with improving existing products and 
manufacturing processes and for the introduction of new truck and engine components and products, and are expensed as 
incurred. 

Advertising Costs 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included in SG&A expenses. These costs totaled $26 million, $13 million, 
and $26 million for the years ended October 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, respectively. 

Contingency Accruals 

We accrue for loss contingencies associated with outstanding litigation for which we have determined it is probable that a loss 
has occurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Our asbestos, product liability, environmental, and workers 
compensation accruals also include estimated future legal fees associated with the loss contingencies, as we believe we can 

73

Navistar International Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

reasonably estimate those costs. In all other instances, legal fees are expensed as incurred. These expenses may be recorded in 
Costs of products sold, SG&A expenses, or Other income, net. These estimates are based on our expectations of the scope, 
length to complete, and complexity of the claims. In the future, additional adjustments may be recorded as the scope, length, or 
complexity of outstanding litigation changes. 

Warranty 

We generally offer one to five-year warranty coverage for our truck, bus, and engine products, as well as our service parts. 
Terms and conditions vary by product, customer, and country. We accrue warranty related costs under standard warranty terms 
and for certain claims outside the contractual obligation period that we choose to pay as accommodations to our customers. 

Our warranty estimates are established using historical information about the nature, frequency, timing, and average cost of 
warranty claims. Warranty claims are influenced by numerous factors, including new product introductions, technological 
developments, the competitive environment, the design and manufacturing process, and the complexity and related costs of 
component parts. We estimate our warranty accrual for our engines and trucks based on engine types and model years. Our 
warranty accruals take into account the projected ultimate cost-per-unit ("CPU") utilizing historical claims information. The 
CPU represents the total cash projected to be spent for warranty claims for a particular model year during the warranty period, 
divided by the number of units sold. The projection of the ultimate CPU is affected by component failure rates, repair costs, and 
the timing of failures in the product life cycle. Warranty claims inherently have a high amount of variability in timing and 
severity and can be influenced by external factors. Our warranty estimation process takes into consideration numerous variables 
that contribute to the precision of the estimate, but also add to the complexity of the model. Including numerous variables also 
reduces the sensitivity of the model to any one variable. We perform periodic reviews of warranty spend data to allow for 
timely consideration of the effects on warranty accruals. 

Initial warranty estimates for new model year products are based on the previous model year product's warranty experience 
until the new product progresses sufficiently through its life cycle and related claims data becomes mature. Historically, 
warranty claims experience for launch-year products has been higher compared to the prior model-year engines; however, over 
time we have been able to refine both the design and manufacturing process to reduce both the volume and the severity of 
warranty claims. New product launches require a greater use of judgment in developing estimates until historical experience 
becomes available. 

We record adjustments to pre-existing warranties for changes in our estimate of warranty costs for products sold in prior fiscal 
years. Such adjustments typically occur when claims experience deviates from historic and expected trends. In 2017, we 
recognized a benefit for adjustment to pre-existing warranties of $1 million, as compared to charges of $77 million and $1 
million in 2016 and 2015, respectively. Future events and circumstances could materially change these estimates and require 
additional adjustments to our liability.

When we identify cost effective opportunities to address issues in products sold or corrective actions for safety issues, we 
initiate product recalls or field campaigns. As a result of the uncertainty surrounding the nature and frequency of product recalls 
and field campaigns, the liability for such actions are generally recorded when we commit to a product recall or field campaign. 
Each subsequent quarter after a recall or campaign is initiated the recorded liability balance is analyzed, reviewed, and adjusted 
if necessary to reflect any changes in the anticipated average cost of repair or number of repairs to be completed prospectively. 
Included in 2017 warranty expense were $21 million of charges related to new campaign issuances as well as changes in 
estimates of previously issued campaigns, as compared to $17 million and $12 million in 2016 and 2015, respectively. The 
charges were primarily recognized as adjustments to pre-existing warranties. As we continue to identify opportunities to 
improve the design and manufacturing of our engines we may incur additional charges for product recalls and field campaigns 
to address identified issues.

Optional extended warranty contracts can be purchased for periods ranging from one to ten years. Warranty revenues related to 
extended warranty contracts are amortized to income, over the life of the contract using the straight-line method. Costs under 
extended warranty contracts are expensed as incurred. We recognize losses on defined pools of extended warranty contracts 
when the expected costs for a given pool of contracts exceed related unearned revenue. 

When collection is reasonably assured, we also estimate the amount of warranty claim recoveries to be received from our 
suppliers and record them in Other current assets and Other noncurrent assets. Recoveries related to specific product recalls, in 
which a supplier confirms its liability under the recall, are recorded in Trade and other receivables, net. Warranty costs and 
recoveries are included in Costs of products sold. 

Although we believe that the estimates and judgments discussed herein are reasonable, actual results could differ and we may 
be exposed to increases or decreases in our warranty accrual that could be material.

(A)  Adjustments to pre-existing warranties reflect changes in our estimate of warranty costs for products sold in prior periods. Such adjustments typically 

occur when claims experience deviates from historical and expected trends. Our warranty liability is generally affected by component failure rates, repair 
costs, and the timing of failures. Future events and circumstances related to these factors could materially change our estimates and require adjustments to 
our liability. In addition, new product launches require a greater use of judgment in developing estimates until historical experience becomes available. 

In the second quarter of 2016, we recorded a charge for adjustments to pre-existing warranties of $46 million or a charge of $0.56 per diluted share. The 
charge primarily relates to increases in both claim frequency and cost of repair across both the Medium Duty and Big Bore engine families. The charge 
increased the reserve for our standard warranty obligations as well as the loss positions related to our Big Bore extended service contracts. Adjustments to 
pre-existing warranties in 2016 include a benefit of $1 million related to our Workhorse Custom Chassis operations, which are reported in Discontinued 
Operations in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. 

In the first quarter of 2015, we recognized a benefit for adjustments to pre-existing warranties of $57 million or a benefit of $0.70 per diluted share. In the 
fourth quarter of 2015, we recognized a charge for adjustments to pre-existing warranties from continuing operations of $40 million or a charge of $0.49 
per diluted share. Adjustments to pre-existing warranties in 2015 include a benefit of $3 million related to our Workhorse Custom Chassis operations, 
which are reported in Discontinued Operations in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. 

The impact of income taxes on the 2017, 2016, and 2015 adjustments are not material due to our deferred tax valuation allowances on our U.S. deferred 
tax assets.

Extended Warranty Programs

The amount of deferred revenue related to extended warranty programs was $271 million, $325 million, and $401 million at 
October 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, respectively. Revenue recognized under our extended warranty programs was $144 million, 
$150 million, and $154 million for the years ended October 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, respectively.

In 2017, we recognized net charges of $8 million related to extended warranty contracts on our proprietary Big-Bore engines, 
which includes charges of $3 million related to pre-existing warranties. In 2016, we recognized a net charge of $34 million 
related to extended warranty contracts on our proprietary Big-Bore engines, which includes a charge of $26 million related to 
pre-existing warranties. In 2015, we recognized a net benefit of $56 million related to extended warranty contracts on our 
proprietary Big-Bore engines, which includes a benefit of $54 million related to pre-existing warranties.

Stock-based Compensation

We have various plans that provide for the granting of stock-based compensation to certain employees, directors, and 
consultants, which is further described in Note 17, Stock-Based Compensation Plans. Shares are issued upon option exercise 
from Common stock held in treasury. 

For transactions in which we obtain employee services in exchange for an award of equity instruments, we measure the cost of 
the services based on the grant date fair value of the award. We recognize the cost over the period during which an employee is 
required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). Costs 
related to plans with graded vesting are generally recognized using a straight-line method. 

Foreign Currency Translation

We translate the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries whose local currency is their functional currency to U.S. dollars 
using period-end exchange rates for assets and liabilities and weighted average exchange rates for each period for revenues and 

75

Navistar International Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

expenses. Differences arising from exchange rate changes are included in the Foreign currency translation adjustment 
component of AOCL. 

For foreign subsidiaries whose functional currency is the U.S. dollar, we remeasure non-monetary balance sheet accounts and 
the related income statement accounts at historical exchange rates. Gains and losses arising from fluctuations in currency 
exchange rates on transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are recognized in earnings as 
incurred. We recognized net foreign currency transaction losses of $16 million, less than $1 million, and $17 million in 2017, 
2016, and 2015, respectively, which were recorded in Other income, net. 

Income Taxes 

We file a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return for NIC and its eligible domestic subsidiaries. Our non-U.S. subsidiaries 
file income tax returns in their respective local jurisdictions. We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method. 
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between 
the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax benefit 
carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities at the end of each period are determined using enacted tax rates. A valuation 
allowance is established or maintained when, based on currently available information, it is more likely than not that all or a 
portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. 

We recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return only if it is more 
likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the 
position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit 
that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

We apply the intraperiod tax allocation rules to allocate income taxes among continuing operations, discontinued operations, 
other comprehensive income (loss), and additional paid-in capital when we meet the criteria as prescribed in the rules.

Earnings Per Share 

The calculation of basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of our shares of common stock 
outstanding during the applicable period. The calculation for diluted earnings per share recognizes the effect of all potential 
dilutive shares of common stock that were outstanding during the respective periods, unless their impact would be anti-dilutive. 

Diluted earnings per share recognizes the dilution that would occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were 
exercised or converted into shares using the treasury stock method. 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that 
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the consolidated 
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the periods presented. Significant estimates and 
assumptions are used for, but are not limited to, pension and other postretirement benefits, allowance for doubtful accounts, 
income tax contingency accruals and valuation allowances, product warranty accruals, used truck inventory valuations, asbestos 
and other product liability accruals, asset impairment charges, restructuring charges and litigation-related accruals. Actual 
results could differ from our estimates.

Concentration Risks

Our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows are subject to concentration risks related to our significant 
unionized workforce. As of October 31, 2017, approximately 6,500, or 96%, of our hourly workers and approximately 800, or 
15%, of our salaried workers, are represented by labor unions and are covered by collective bargaining agreements. Our future 
operations may be affected by changes in governmental procurement policies, budget considerations, changing national defense 
requirements, and political, regulatory and economic developments in the U.S. and certain foreign countries (primarily Canada, 
Mexico, and Brazil).

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 
2014-15 Preparation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), Disclosure of Uncertainties about an 
Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. This ASU requires management's evaluation, for each annual and interim 
reporting period, as to whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the 
entity's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or within 
one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued, when applicable).  The update also provides

76

Navistar International Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

principles for considering the mitigating effect of management's plans, requires certain disclosures when substantial doubt is 
alleviated as a result of consideration of management's plans, and requires an express statement and other disclosures when 
substantial doubt is not alleviated. This ASU is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual 
periods and interim periods thereafter. We adopted ASU 2014-15 with no material impact to our consolidated financial 
statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, "Business Combinations" (Topic 805). This ASU provides a new 
framework for determining whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions or disposals of assets or businesses. 
This ASU creates an initial screening test (Step 1) that reduces the population of transactions that an entity needs to analyze to 
determine whether there is an input and substantive processes in the acquisition or disposal (Step 2). Fewer transactions are 
expected to involve acquiring or selling a business. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal 
years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. This ASU is effective for us in the first quarter of 
fiscal 2019. Adoption will require a prospective transition. We do not expect the impact of this ASU to have a material effect on 
our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, "Statement of Cash Flows" (Topic 230). This ASU requires that a 
statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, and cash equivalents, including amounts 
generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash 
and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and 
end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods 
within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. This ASU is effective for us in the 
first quarter of fiscal 2019. Adoption will require a retrospective transition. We do not expect the impact of this ASU to have a 
material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, "Income Taxes” (Topic 740). This ASU update requires entities to 
recognize the income tax consequences of many intercompany asset transfers at the transaction date. The seller and buyer will 
immediately recognize the current and deferred income tax consequences of an intercompany transfer of an asset other than 
inventory. The tax consequences were previously deferred. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within 
those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. This ASU is effective for us in the first 
quarter of fiscal 2019. Adoption will require a modified retrospective transition. We do not expect the impact of this ASU to 
have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses” (Topic 326). The ASU sets forth an 
expected credit loss model which requires the measurement of expected credit losses for financial instruments based on 
historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss 
model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost, and certain off-
balance sheet credit exposures. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning 
after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. Adoption will require a modified retrospective transition. This ASU is 
effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on our consolidated 
financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases" (Topic 842). This ASU requires lessees to recognize, on the 
balance sheet, assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by leases of greater than twelve months. The 
accounting by lessors will remain largely unchanged. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those 
fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. This ASU is effective for us in the first quarter 
of fiscal 2020. Adoption will require a modified retrospective transition. We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on 
our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (Topic 606), which supersedes 
the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605, "Revenue Recognition." This ASU is based on the principle that revenue is 
recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the 
entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The ASU also requires additional disclosure about the 
nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant 
judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. In August 2015, 
the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, which postponed the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09 to fiscal years, and interim periods 
within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted on the original effective date for 
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. We expect to adopt this ASU in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 on a modified 

77

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

retrospective basis, with the cumulative effect adjustment recognized into retained earnings as of November 1, 2018. We will 
continue to evaluate the impact of this ASU on our consolidated financial statements.

2. Restructurings and Impairments

Restructuring charges are recorded based on restructuring plans that have been committed to by management and are, in part, 
based upon management's best estimates of future events. Changes to the estimates may require future adjustments to the 
restructuring liabilities.

From time to time, we have announced, and we may continue to announce, actions to control spending across the Company 
with targeted reductions of certain costs. We are focused on continued reductions in discretionary spending, including 
reductions resulting from efficiencies, and prioritizing or eliminating certain programs or projects. 

Voluntary separation program and reduction-in-force actions

During 2015, we initiated new cost-reduction actions, including a reduction-in-force in the U.S. and Brazil.  As a result of these 
actions, we recognized restructuring charges of $13 million in personnel costs for employee termination and related benefits, 
which were primarily paid throughout 2016. 

We also offered the majority of our U.S.-based non-represented salaried employees the opportunity to apply for a voluntary 
separation program ("VSP"). As a result of these actions, we recognized restructuring charges of $37 million. The restructuring 
charges primarily consist of personnel costs for employee termination and related benefits. In addition, we initiated new cost-
reduction actions, including a reduction-in-force in Brazil.  As a result of these actions, we recognized restructuring charges of 
$10 million in personnel costs for employee termination and related benefits, which were paid throughout 2016. 

Global operations employee separation actions

During 2017, we initiated cost-reduction actions impacting our workforce in Brazil. As a result of these actions, we recognized 
restructuring charges of $6 million in personnel costs for employee separation and related benefits, the majority of which will 
be paid during 2018.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

North American Manufacturing Restructuring Activities

We continue to focus on our core Truck and Parts businesses and evaluate our portfolio of assets to validate their strategic and 
financial fit. This allows us to close or divest non-strategic businesses, and identify opportunities to restructure our business and 
rationalize our Manufacturing operations in an effort to optimize our cost structure. For those areas that fall outside our strategic 
businesses, we are evaluating alternatives which could result in additional restructuring and other related charges in the future, 
including but not limited to: (i) impairments, (ii) costs for employee and contractor termination and other related benefits, and 
(iii) charges for pension and other postretirement contractual benefits and curtailments. These charges could be significant.

Chatham restructuring activities

In the third quarter of 2011, we committed to close our Chatham, Ontario heavy truck plant, which had been idled since June 
2009. At that time, we recognized curtailment and contractual termination charges related to postretirement plans. Based on a 
ruling regarding pension benefits received from the Financial Services Tribunal in Ontario, Canada, in the third quarter of 2014, 
we recognized additional charges of $14 million related to the 2011 closure of the Chatham, Ontario plant. Unsuccessful efforts 
to appeal the ruling in the Ontario court system ended in December 2015. On April 25, 2016, we filed a qualified partial wind-
up report for approval by the Financial Services Commission of Ontario ("FSCO"). On January 12, 2017, FSCO issued its 
approval of the partial wind-up report. On February 27, 2017, we finalized the resolution of statutory severance pay for former 
employees related to the closure of our Chatham, Ontario plant, resulting in a charge of $6 million in the first quarter of 2017. 
During the third quarter of 2017, we finalized the Chatham closure agreement. This resulted in the release of $66 million in 
other post-employment benefit ("OPEB") liabilities.  In addition, a pension settlement accounting charge of $23 million was 
recorded as a result of lump-sum payments made to certain pension plan participants. These charges and benefits were recorded 
in our Truck segment within Restructuring charges in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. 

Melrose Park Facility restructuring activities

In the third quarter of 2017, we committed to a plan to cease engine production at our plant in Melrose Park, Illinois. (“Melrose 
Park Facility”) in the third quarter of fiscal year 2018. As a result, in the third quarter of 2017, we recognized charges of $41 
million in our Truck segment. The charges include $23 million related to pension and OPEB liabilities and $8 million for 
severance pay recorded in Restructuring charges in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. We also recorded $10 million 
of inventory reserves and other related charges Costs of products sold in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

See Note 10, Postretirement benefits for further discussion.

Foundry Facilities

In December 2014, we announced the closure of our Indianapolis, Indiana foundry facility; on June 30, 2015, we closed this 
facility; and on August 19, 2016, we sold this facility. In addition, on April 30, 2015, we sold our Waukesha, Wisconsin foundry 
operations. As a result, in 2014, the Truck segment recognized restructuring charges of $13 million, which are included in 
Restructuring charges in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. The restructuring charges consist of $2 million 
in personnel costs for employee termination and related benefits and $11 million of charges for pension and other 
postretirement contractual termination benefits. The restructuring charges relating to employee terminations were paid 
throughout 2015.

As a result of the economic downturn in Brazil causing declines in actual and forecasted results, we tested the indefinite-lived 
intangible asset of our Brazilian engine reporting unit for potential impairment. As a result, we determined that the trademark 
asset carrying value was impaired, resulting in charges of $1 million and $3 million, for the years ended October 31, 2016 and 
2015, respectively. For more information, see Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

During 2017, we concluded that we had a triggering event in connection with the sale of our fabrication business in Conway, 
Arkansas requiring the impairment of certain assets. As a result, we recorded charges of $5 million in our Truck segment. In 
August 2017, we completed the sale of the business.

During 2017, we concluded that we had triggering events related to certain assets under operating leases. As a result, we 
recorded charges of $8 million in our Truck segment.

During 2016, we concluded that we had triggering events related to certain long-lived assets in our Truck segment. As a result, 
certain long-lived assets were determined to be impaired, resulting in charges of $17 million. Included in the charges was a $3 
million asset impairment related to the sale of Pure Power Technologies, LLC, a components business focused on air and fuel 
systems. During 2016, we also concluded that we had triggering events related to certain operating leases. As a result, we 
recorded $8 million of asset impairment charges in our Truck segment.

During 2015, we recognized a total non-cash charge of $7 million for the impairment of certain intangible and long-lived assets 
in the Global Operations segment.  As a result of the continued operating losses and idled production in the asset group, we 
tested the indefinite-lived intangible and long-lived assets for potential impairment. As a result, we determined that $4 million 
of intangible assets and $3 million of certain long-lived assets were impaired. 

During 2015, we concluded that we had triggering events related to certain long-lived assets in the Truck segment. As a result, 
certain long-lived assets were determined to be impaired, resulting in charges of $11 million. During 2015, we also concluded 
that we had triggering events related to certain operating leases. As a result, we recorded $9 million of asset impairment charges 
in our Truck segment.

All of these charges are recognized in Asset impairment charges in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

See Note 12, Fair Value Measurements, for information on the valuation of impaired operating leases and other assets.

3. Finance Receivables

Finance receivables are receivables of our Financial Services operations. Finance receivables generally consist of wholesale 
notes and accounts, as well as retail notes, finance leases and accounts. Total finance receivables reported on the Consolidated 
Balance Sheets are net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Total assets of our Financial Services operations net of 
intercompany balances are $2.2 billion and $2.1 billion as of October 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Included in total assets 
of our Financial Services operations are finance receivables of $1.8 billion and $1.7 billion as of October 31, 2017 and 2016, 
respectively. We have two portfolio segments of finance receivables that we distinguish based on the type of customer and 
nature of the financing inherent to each portfolio. The retail portfolio segment represents loans or leases to end-users for the 
purchase or lease of vehicles. The wholesale portfolio segment represents loans to dealers to finance their inventory.

Our Finance receivables, net in our Consolidated Balance Sheets consist of the following:

Securitizations

Our Financial Services operations transfer wholesale notes, retail accounts receivable, finance leases, and operating leases to 
special purpose entities ("SPEs"), which generally are only permitted to purchase these assets, issue asset-backed securities, and 
make payments on the securities issued. In addition to servicing receivables, our continued involvement in the SPEs may 
include an economic interest in the transferred receivables and, in some cases, managing exposure to interest rate changes on 
the securities using interest rate swaps or interest rate caps. There were no transfers of finance receivables that qualified for sale 
accounting treatment as of October 31, 2017 and 2016, and as a result, the transferred finance receivables are included in our 
Consolidated Balance Sheets and the related interest earned is included in Finance revenues. 

We transfer eligible wholesale finance receivables into the wholesale note owner trusts in order to issue asset-backed securities. 
These trusts are VIEs of which we are determined to be the primary beneficiary and, therefore, the assets and liabilities of the 
trusts are included in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The outstanding balance of finance receivables transferred into these 
VIEs was $797 million and $829 million as of October 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. 

Other finance receivables related to secured transactions that do not qualify for sale accounting treatment were $163 million 
and $108 million as of October 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. For more information on assets and liabilities of consolidated 
VIEs and other securitizations accounted for as secured borrowings by our Financial Services segment, see Note 1, Summary of 
Significant Accounting Policies.

Our two finance receivables portfolio segments, retail and wholesale, each consist of one class of receivable based on: (i) initial 
measurement attributes of the receivables, and (ii) the assessment and monitoring of risk and performance of the receivables. 
For more information, see Note 3, Finance Receivables.

The following tables present the activity related to our allowance for doubtful accounts for our retail portfolio segment,

Leases 

We lease certain land, buildings, and equipment under non-cancelable operating leases and capital leases expiring at various 
dates through 2027. Operating leases generally have 1 to 20 year terms, with one or more renewal options, with terms to be 
negotiated at the time of renewal. Various leases include provisions for rent escalation to recognize increased operating costs or 
require us to pay certain maintenance and utility costs. Our rent expense for the years ended October 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015 
was $49 million, $53 million, and $57 million, respectively. Rental income from subleases for the years ended October 31, 
2017, 2016, and 2015 was $11 million, $12 million, and $11 million, respectively. 

Future minimum lease payments at October 31, 2017, for those leases having an initial or remaining non-cancelable lease term

We have a number of asset retirement obligations in connection with certain owned and leased locations, leasehold 
improvements, and sale and leaseback arrangements. Certain of our production facilities contain asbestos that would have to be 
removed if such facilities were to be demolished or undergo a major renovation. The fair value of the conditional asset 
retirement obligations as of the balance sheet date has been determined to be immaterial. Asset retirement obligations relating to 
the cost of removing improvements to leased facilities or returning leased equipment at the end of the associated agreements are 
not material. 

7. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, Net 

For our reporting unit with goodwill, we perform a goodwill impairment test on an annual basis on August 1st, or more 
frequently, if circumstances change or an event occurs that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit 
below its carrying amount. As part of our impairment analysis for this reporting unit in the current year, we performed a 
qualitative assessment.

8. Investments in Non-consolidated Affiliates

Investments in non-consolidated affiliates is comprised of our interests in partially-owned affiliates of which our ownership 
percentages range from 30% to 50%. We do not control these affiliates, but have the ability to exercise significant influence 
over their operating and financial policies. We account for them using the equity method of accounting. We made no new and 
incremental investments in these non-consolidated affiliates for 2017 and 2016.

Senior Secured Term Loan Credit Facility

In August 2012, NIC and NI signed a definitive credit agreement relating to a senior secured, term loan credit facility in an 
aggregate principal amount of $1.0 billion (the "Term Loan Credit Facility") and borrowed an aggregate principal amount of 
$1.0 billion under the Term Loan Credit Facility. The Term Loan Credit Facility required quarterly principal amortization 
payments of 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount, with the balance due at maturity. 

The Term Loan Credit Facility is secured by a first priority security interest in certain assets of NIC, NI, and twelve of our 
direct and indirect subsidiaries, and contains customary provisions for financings of this type, including, without limitation, 
representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. Generally, if an event of default 
occurs and is not cured within any specified grace period, the administrative agent, at the request of (or with the consent of) the 
lenders holding not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding term loans, may declare the term loan to be due 
and payable immediately.

In August 2015, the Amended Term Loan Credit Facility was refinanced with a new Senior Secured Term Loan Credit Facility 
(“Senior Secured Term Loan Credit Facility”), for $1.0 billion. Under the Senior Secured Term Loan Credit Facility: (i) the 
maturity date was extended to August 7, 2020, (ii) interest rate margins were increased to 5.50% for Eurodollar rate loans and 
4.50% for base rate loans, (iii) the Eurodollar rate “floor” was reduced to 1.00%, (iv) the permitted receivables financing basket 
was increased from $25 million to $50 million, (v) certain prepayments of the Senior Secured Term Loan Credit Facility made 
prior to August 7, 2017 will be made subject to a call premium of 1.00%, (vi) certain definitional provisions, including those 
related to asset dispositions were modified, and (vii) quarterly principal amortization payments of 0.25% of the aggregate 
principal amount are required, with the balance due at maturity.  As a consequence of the Senior Secured Term Loan Credit 
Facility refinancing, the maturity date of the Amended and Restated Asset-Based Credit Facility (as defined below) was 
extended from May 18, 2017 to May 18, 2018. 

As part of the refinancing, we recognized $3 million of unamortized discount costs related to the Amended Term Loan Credit 
Facility.  The remaining $10 million of unamortized discount will be amortized through Interest expense over the life of the 
Senior Secured Term Loan Credit Facility. The refinancing also included the payment of underwriter and other related fees of 
approximately $12 million, of which $11 million was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2015 in Other income, net. The 
remaining fees will be amortized through Interest expense over the life of the Senior Secured Term Loan Credit Facility. 

In February 2017, the Senior Secured Term Loan Credit Facility ("Term Loan") was amended, pursuant to which the 
Company's remaining approximately $1.0 billion loan was repriced and provisions regarding European Union bail-in legislation 
were inserted. The amendment reduces the interest rate applicable to the outstanding loan by 1.50%. Under the terms of the 
amendment, the interest rate on the outstanding loan is based, at our option, on an adjusted Eurodollar Rate, plus a margin of 
4.00%, or a Base Rate, plus a margin of 3.00%. In connection with the amendment, we paid a consent fee equal to 0.25% of the 
aggregate principal amount, a call protection fee equal to 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount, and certain other fees. 
During the second quarter of 2017, we recorded a charge of $4 million related to certain third party fees and debt issuance costs 
associated with the repricing of our Term Loan. The remaining debt issuance costs were recorded as a direct deduction from the 
carrying amount of the Term Loan and will be amortized through Interest expense over the remaining life of the Term Loan.

Senior Notes

In October 2009, we completed the sale of $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of our Senior Notes. In March 2013, we 
completed the sale of an additional $300 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes. 

In January 2017, we issued an additional $250 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes. Interest related to the Senior 
Notes is payable on May 1 and November 1 of each year until the maturity date of November 1, 2021. The Senior Notes are 
senior unsecured obligations of the Company. 

We received net proceeds of approximately $250 million from the January 2017 issuance of additional Senior Notes, which 
included accrued interest of $4 million, offset by underwriter fees of $4 million. The debt issuance costs were recorded as a 
direct deduction from the carrying amount of the Senior Notes and will be amortized through Interest expense over the 
remaining life of the Senior Notes. As a result of the transaction, the effective interest rate of the Senior Notes became 8.51%. 
The proceeds from the January 2017 sale of additional Senior Notes were being used for general corporate purposes, including 
working capital and capital expenditures.

On or after November 1, 2014, we can redeem all or part of the Senior Notes during the twelve-month period beginning on 
November 1, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, and thereafter at a redemption price equal to 104.125%, 102.750%, 101.375%, and 
100%, respectively, of the principal amount of the Senior Notes redeemed. 

We were permitted under the indenture to redeem the Senior Notes at our election in whole or part at any time prior to 
November 1, 2014 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the applicable premium, plus 
accrued and unpaid interest, to the redemption date. We did not exercise this option at any time prior to November 1, 2014. 

4.50% Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes

In October 2013, we completed the private sale of $200 million of 4.50% senior subordinated convertible notes due October 
2018 ("2018 Convertible Notes"). We received proceeds of $196 million, net of $3 million of issuance costs and a $1 million 
issuance discount. Interest is payable on April 15 and October 15 of each year until the maturity date. The 2018 Convertible 
Notes are senior subordinated unsecured obligations of the Company. 

In accounting for the issuance, the 2018 Convertible Notes were separated into a debt component and an equity component, 
resulting in the debt component being recorded at estimated fair value without consideration given to the conversion feature. 
The excess of the principal amount of the liability component over the carrying amount is treated as debt discount and will be 
amortized to Interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the 2018 Convertible Notes. We estimated the 
fair value of the liability component at $177 million. The equity component of $22 million, net of discount, is recorded in 
Additional paid-in capital and will not be remeasured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification. 
Issuance costs are also allocated between the debt and equity components resulting in most of the $3 million of debt issue costs 
recorded as an offset to the 2018 Convertible Notes in Long-term debt and the remainder being recorded as a reduction in 
Additional paid-in capital. The liability component of the debt issuance costs will be amortized to Interest expense over the 
term of the 2018 Convertible Notes.

We have the option to redeem the 2018 Convertible Notes for cash, in whole or in part, on any business day on or after October 
15, 2016 if the last reported sale price of our common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at 
least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive), during any 30 consecutive trading day period ending within 10 trading days 
immediately prior to the Optional Redemption date. The redemption price is equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2018 
Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.

Holders may convert the 2018 Convertible Notes into our common stock at any time on or after April 15, 2018. Holders may 
also convert the 2018 Convertible Notes at their option prior to April 15, 2018, under the following circumstances: (i) during 
any fiscal quarter (and only during that fiscal quarter) commencing after October 31, 2013, if the last reported sale price of the 
common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending 
on the last trading day of the preceding fiscal quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the applicable conversion price on each 
such trading day; (ii) during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period (the "Measurement 
Period") in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of notes for each trading day of that Measurement Period was 
less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the common stock and the applicable conversion rate on each such 
trading day; (iii) if we exercise our Optional Redemption, as described above, after October 15, 2016, holders of the 2018 
Convertible Notes will have the right to convert their 2018 Convertible Notes at any time prior to the close of business on the 
business day preceding the redemption date; or (iv) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events, as more fully described 
in the 2018 Convertible Notes indenture.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

The conversion rate will initially be 17.1233 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2018 Convertible Notes 
(equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $58.40 per share of common stock). The conversion rate may be 
adjusted for anti-dilution provisions and the conversion price may be decreased by the Board of Directors to the extent 
permitted by law and listing requirements. 

The 2018 Convertible Notes can be settled in common stock, cash, or a combination of common stock and cash. Upon 
conversion, we will satisfy our conversion obligations by delivering, at our election, shares of common stock (plus cash in lieu 
of fractional shares), cash ("Cash Settlement"), or any combination of cash and shares of common stock ("Combination 
Settlement"). If we elect a Cash Settlement or a Combination Settlement, the amounts due will be based on a daily conversion 
value calculated on a proportionate basis for each trading day in a 20 trading-day observation period. If a holder converts its 
2018 Convertible Notes on or after April 15, 2018, and we elect physical settlement, the holder will not receive the shares of 
common stock into which the 2018 Convertible Notes are convertible until after the expiration of the observation period, even 
though the number of shares the holder will receive upon settlement will not change. It is our policy to settle the principal and 
accrued interest on the 2018 Convertible Notes with cash. Subject to certain exceptions, holders may require us to repurchase, 
for cash, all or part of the 2018 Convertible Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2018 Convertible 
Notes being repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest. 

4.75% Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes

During the second quarter of 2014, we completed the private sale of $411 million of the 2019 Convertible Notes, including a 
portion of the underwriter's over-allotment option. We received proceeds of $402 million, net of $9 million of issuance costs. 
Interest is payable on April 15 and October 15 of each year until the maturity date. The 2019 Convertible Notes are senior 
subordinated unsecured obligations of the Company. 

In accounting for the issuance, the 2019 Convertible Notes were separated into a debt component and an equity component, 
resulting in the debt component being recorded at estimated fair value without consideration given to the conversion feature. 
The excess of the principal amount of the liability component over the carrying amount is treated as debt discount and will be 
amortized to Interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the 2019 Convertible Notes. We estimated the 
fair value of the liability component at $367 million. The equity component of $44 million is recorded in Additional paid-in 
capital and will not be remeasured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification. Issuance costs are also 
allocated between the debt and equity components resulting in $8 million of debt issuance costs recorded as an offset of the 
2019 Convertible Notes in Long-term debt and $1 million recorded as a reduction in Additional paid-in capital. The liability 
component of the debt issuance costs will be amortized to Interest expense over the term of the 2019 Convertible Notes.

We have the option to redeem the 2019 Convertible Notes for cash, in whole or in part, on any business day on or after April 20, 
2017 if the last reported sale price of our common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 
20 trading days (whether or not consecutive), during any 30 consecutive trading day period ending within 10 trading days 
immediately prior to the date of the redemption notice ("Optional Redemption"). The redemption price is equal to 100% of the 
principal amount of the 2019 Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the 
redemption date.

Holders may convert the 2019 Convertible Notes into our common stock at any time on or after October 15, 2018. Holders may 
also convert the 2019 Convertible Notes at their option prior to October 15, 2018, under the following circumstances: (i) during 
any fiscal quarter (and only during that fiscal quarter) commencing after April 30, 2014, if the last reported sale price of the 
common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending 
on the last trading day of the preceding fiscal quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the applicable conversion price on each 
such trading day; (ii) during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period (the "Measurement 
Period") in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 2019 Convertible Notes for each trading day of that 
Measurement Period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the common stock and the applicable 
conversion rate on each such trading day; (iii) if we exercise our Optional Redemption, as described above, after October 15, 
2018, holders of the 2019 Convertible Notes will have the right to convert their 2019 Convertible Notes at any time prior to the 
close of business on the business day preceding the redemption date, or; (iv) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events, 
as more fully described in the 2019 Convertible Notes indenture. The conversion rate will initially be 18.4946 shares of 
common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2019 Convertible Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of 
approximately $54.07 per share of common stock). The conversion rate may be adjusted for anti-dilution provisions and the 
conversion price may be decreased by the Board of Directors to the extent permitted by law and listing requirements. 

The 2019 Convertible Notes can be settled in common stock, cash, or a combination of common stock and cash. Upon 
conversion, we will satisfy our conversion obligations by delivering, at our election, shares of common stock (plus cash in lieu 
of fractional shares), a Cash Settlement, or a Combination Settlement.

Loan Agreement related to the Tax Exempt Bonds

In October 2010, we benefited from the issuance of certain tax-exempt bond financings, of which: (i) the Illinois Finance 
Authority issued and sold $135 million aggregate principal amount of Recovery Zone Facility Revenue Bonds due October 15, 
2040, and (ii) The County of Cook, Illinois issued and sold $90 million aggregate principal amount of Recovery Zone Facility 
Revenue Bonds also due October 15, 2040 (collectively the "Tax Exempt Bonds"). The Tax Exempt Bonds were issued 
pursuant to separate, but substantially identical, indentures of trust dated as of October 1, 2010. The proceeds of the Tax 
Exempt Bonds were loaned by each issuer to the Company pursuant to separate, but substantially identical, loan agreements 
dated as of October 1, 2010. The proceeds from the issuance of the Tax Exempt Bonds are restricted, and must be used 
substantially for capital expenditures related to financing the relocation of our headquarters, the expansion of an existing 
warehouse facility, and the development of certain industrial and testing facilities, together with related improvements and 
equipment (the "Projects"). The payment of principal and interest on the Tax Exempt Bonds are guaranteed under separate, but 
substantially identical, bond guarantees issued by NI. The Tax Exempt Bonds are special, limited obligations of each issuer, 
payable out of the revenues and income derived under the related loan agreements and related guarantees. The Tax Exempt 
Bonds bear interest at the fixed rate of 6.50% per annum, payable each April 15 and October 15, commencing April 15, 2011. 
Beginning on October 15, 2020, the Tax Exempt Bonds are subject to optional redemption at the direction of the Company, in 
whole or in part, at the redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest, if any, to the 
redemption date. The funds received from the issuance of the Tax Exempt Bonds were deposited directly into trust accounts by 
the bonding authority at the time of issuance, and will be remitted to the Company on a reimbursement basis as we make 
qualified capital expenditures related to the Projects. As we do not have the ability to use these funds for general operating 
purposes, they are classified as Other noncurrent assets in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, as we did not receive 
cash proceeds upon the closing of the Tax Exempt Bonds, there was no impact on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows 
for the year ended October 31, 2010. As we make qualifying capital expenditures and are reimbursed by the Trust, we report the 
corresponding amounts as capital expenditures and proceeds from issuance of debt within the Consolidated Statement of Cash 
Flows. In November 2010, we finalized the purchase of the property and buildings that we developed into our new world 
headquarters site. As of October 31, 2017, none of the $225 million remains to be reimbursed under the Tax Exempt Bonds. 

Financed Lease Obligations

We have accounted for as borrowings certain third-party equipment financings by BMO, our preferred source of retail customer 
financing for equipment offered by us and our dealers in the U.S. The initial transactions do not qualify for revenue recognition 
as we retain substantial risks of ownership in the leased property. As a result, the proceeds from the transfer are recorded as an 
obligation and amortized to revenue over the term of the financing. The remaining obligation will be amortized through 2022 
with interest rates ranging from 4.52% to 12.52%. 

Amended and Restated Asset-Based Credit Facility

In August 2012, NI entered into an amended and restated asset-based credit agreement in an aggregate principal amount of 
$175 million (the "Amended and Restated Asset-Based Credit Facility"). The borrowing base of the facility was secured by a 
first priority security interest in NI's aftermarket parts inventory that is stored at certain parts distribution centers, storage 
facilities and third-party processor or logistics provider locations. In April 2013, the Amended and Restated Asset-Based Credit 
Facility was amended to include used truck inventory in the borrowing base.  

Also in April 2013, the maturity date of the Amended and Restated Asset-Based Credit Facility automatically extended to May 
18, 2017, as a result of a modification to the maturity date of our Amended Term Loan Credit Facility. The Amended and 
Restated Asset-Based Credit Facility contains customary provisions for financings of this type, including, without limitation, 
representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. All borrowings under the Amended 
and Restated Asset-Based Credit Facility accrue interest at a rate equal to a base rate or an adjusted LIBOR rate plus a spread. 
The spread, which will be based on an availability-based measure, ranges from 175 basis points to 225 basis points for Base 
Rate borrowings and 275 basis points to 325 basis points for LIBOR borrowings. The initial LIBOR spread is 275 basis points. 

92

Navistar International Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

On July 3, 2014, the Amended and Restated Asset-Based Credit Facility was further amended to remove used truck inventory 
from the borrowing base. Additionally, the calculation of availability was revised to include cash collateral posted to support 
outstanding designated letters of credit, subject to a $40 million cap, and the cash management provisions were amended to 
reflect intercreditor arrangements with respect to a financing with NFC secured by a first priority lien on the used truck 
inventory. In connection with the removal of used truck inventory from the borrowing base, certain adjustments were made to 
the covenants to reflect that such assets were no longer included in the borrowing base. The amendment also provides for a 
1.00% reduction in the amount of the participation fee with respect to designated letters of credit in the event that all 
outstanding letters of credit are in excess of $50 million, such reduction applying only to the portion of designated letters of 
credit in excess of $50 million for all outstanding letters of credit. 

On July 15, 2015, the Amended and Restated Asset-Based Credit Facility was further amended to: (i) permit the incurrence of 
up to $353 million of additional term loans and the issuance of up to $200 million of additional senior notes, (ii) increase the 
permitted receivables financing from $25 million to $50 million, and (iii) modify the cash dominion trigger and certain of the 
definitional provisions.  As a consequence of the Senior Secured Term Loan Credit Facility, the maturity date of the Amended 
and Restated Asset-Based Credit Facility was extended by one year to May 18, 2018.  The amendment had no impact on the 
aggregate commitment level under the Amended and Restated Asset-Based Credit Facility.

In August 2017, we amended and extended our Amended and Restated Asset-Based Credit Facility which was originally due in 
May 2018. The 2017 amendment extended the maturity date to August 2022 and reduced the revolving facility from $175 
million to $125 million. Our borrowing capacity under the amended facility was previously subject to a $35 million liquidity 
block and is now subject to a $13 million liquidity block, less outstanding standby letters of credit issued under this facility, and 
is impacted by inventory levels at certain aftermarket parts inventory locations. As of October 31, 2017, we had no borrowings 
but did have availability to borrow under the Amended and Restated Asset-Based Credit Facility. Additionally, we maintain 
capacity under our various debt arrangements to incur incremental debt.

Subsequent Events

6.625% Senior Notes Offering

On November 6, 2017, we issued $1.1 billion aggregate principal amount of 6.625% senior notes due 2025 (“2025 Notes”). 
Interest is payable on the 2025 Notes on May 1 and November 1 of each year beginning on May 1, 2018 until the maturity date 
of November 1, 2025. In conjunction with the retiring of our 8.25% Senior Notes, we also commenced a cash tender offer 
(“Tender Offer”), which resulted in the purchase of $1,051 million aggregate principal amount, or 72.50% of the total 
outstanding 8.25% Senior Notes at a purchase price of $1,003.80 per $1,000 principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. 
The proceeds from the offering were used to repurchase a portion of our existing Senior Notes under the tender offer, to pay 
accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and pay the associated prepayment premiums, certain transaction fees and expenses 
incurred in connection with the new 2025 Notes. We expect to record approximately $31 million of charges in the first quarter 
of fiscal 2018 related to the extinguishment of unamortized debt issuance costs and tender premiums associated with the Senior 
Notes.

Senior Secured Term Loan Credit Agreement

On November 6, 2017, we signed a definitive credit agreement relating to a seven-year senior secured term loan credit facility 
in an aggregate principal amount of $1.6 billion (“Term Loan Credit Agreement”), guaranteed by Navistar International 
Corporation and twelve of its subsidiaries. Under the terms of the amendment, the interest rate on the outstanding loan is based, 
at our option, on an adjusted Eurodollar Rate, plus a margin of 3.50%, or a Base Rate, plus a margin of 2.50%. The Term Loan 
Credit Agreement requires quarterly amortization payments of $4 million with the balance due at maturity on November 6, 
2024. A portion of the proceeds from the Term Loan Credit Agreement were used to repay all outstanding loans under our 
existing Term Loan, to redeem the remaining portion of the outstanding Senior Notes and to pay accrued and unpaid interest 
thereon, and pay certain transaction fees and expenses incurred in connection with the new Term Loan Credit Agreement. The 
remainder of the proceeds of the term loan credit facility will be used for ongoing working capital purposes and general 
corporate purposes. We expect to record approximately $16 million of charges in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 related to the 
extinguishment of unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the Term Loan.

Tax Exempt Bond Amendments

On November 6, 2017 the Company entered into the First Amendment to Loan Agreement with The County of Cook, Illinois 
and the First Amendment to Loan Agreement with the Illinois Finance Authority (“Tax Exempt Bond Amendments”) to adjust 
various covenants included in the loan agreements relating to the Tax Exempt Bonds, including to permit the Company to incur 
secured debt up to $1.7 billion, in exchange for a coupon increase from 6.50% to 6.75% and the grant of a junior priority lien 
on certain collateral securing the Company’s existing senior secured term loan and the New Term Loan Facility.

In October 2015, the maximum capacity of the variable funding notes ("VFN") facility was reduced from $500 million to $375 
million. In February 2016, the VFN facility was increased from $375 million to $500 million. In November 2016, the maturity 
date of the VFN facility was extended from May 2017 to November 2017, and the maximum capacity was reduced from $500 
million to $450 million. In May 2017, the VFN facility was extended to May 2018, and the maximum capacity was reduced to 
$425 million. The VFN facility is secured by assets of the wholesale note owner trust.

In November 2014, Navistar Financial Securities Corporation ("NFSC"), a special purpose, wholly-owned subsidiary of NFC, 
completed the sale of $250 million of two-year investor notes secured by assets of the wholesale note owner trust. Proceeds 
were used, in part, to replace the $200 million of investor notes that matured in January 2015. Also in November 2014, the 
wholesale note owner trust was amended to reduce customer concentration restrictions. 

In July 2015, NFSC issued $250 million of two-year investor notes secured by assets of the wholesale note owner trust, of 
which $240 million were sold to initial purchasers. Proceeds were used, in part, to replace the $250 million of investor notes 
that matured in September 2015. 

In October 2016, NFSC issued $300 million of two-year investor notes secured by assets of the wholesale note owner trust. 
Proceeds were used, in part, to replace the $250 million of investor notes that matured in October 2016.

In June 2017, NFSC issued $250 million of two-year investor notes secured by assets of the wholesale note owner trust. 
Proceeds were used, in part, to replace the $250 million of investor notes that matured in June 2017.

Our Mexican financial services affiliate, NFM, issues secured notes, denominated in Mexican pesos, which are secured by retail 
finance receivables. The aggregate balance of these notes at October 31, 2017, was $67 million, net of issuance costs, and 
matures at various dates through March 2023. 

In May 2014, Truck Retail Accounts Corporation ("TRAC"), a special purpose, wholly-owned subsidiary of NFC, entered into 
a one-year revolving facility to fund up to $100 million. In May 2015, this facility was renewed to May 2016. In April 2016, 
this facility was renewed to April 2017. In December 2016, this facility was renewed to October 2017. In May 2017, this 
facility was renewed to April 2018. Borrowings under this facility are secured by eligible retail accounts receivable. 

The majority of the above asset-backed debt is issued by consolidated SPEs and is payable out of collections on the finance 
receivables sold to the SPEs. This debt is the legal obligation of the SPEs and not NFC or NFM. Assets used as collateral 
include finance receivables, restricted cash and other assets. The carrying amount of the assets used as collateral for asset-
backed debt were $1.1 billion at both October 31, 2017 and 2016. See Note 3, Finance Receivables, for more information on 
finance receivables used to secure asset-backed debt.

Bank Credit Facilities

In May 2016, NFC amended and extended its 2011 bank credit facility which was originally due in December 2016. The 2016 
amendment extended the maturity date to June 2018 and initially reduced the revolving portion of the facility from $500 million 
to $400 million. In December 2016, and in accordance with the amendment, the revolving portion of the facility was reduced to 
a maximum of $275 million, the term loan portion of the facility was paid down to $82 million, and the quarterly principal 
payments were reduced from $9 million to $2 million.  The amendment allows NFC to increase revolving or term loan 
commitments, subject to obtaining commitments from existing or new lenders to provide additional or increased revolving 
commitments and/or additional term loans, to permit a maximum total facility size of $700 million after giving effect to any 
such increase and without taking into account the non-extended loans and commitments. 

In September 2017, the revolving portion of the bank credit facility was amended and extended to a maturity date of September 
2021. The capacity of the facility will be reduced from $275 million to $269 million in June 2018. The borrowings on the 
revolving portion of the facility totaled $127 million and $239 million as of October 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The 
balance of the term loan portion of the facility was $75 million and $211 million as of October 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

We borrow funds under various bank credit lines denominated in U.S. dollars and Mexican pesos to be used for investment in 
our Mexican financial services operations. As of October 31, 2017, borrowings outstanding under these arrangements were 
$414 million, of which 35% is denominated in U.S. dollars and 65% in Mexican pesos. As of October 31, 2016, borrowings 
outstanding under these arrangements were $411 million, of which 37% is denominated in U.S. dollars and 63% in Mexican 
pesos. The interest rates on the dollar-denominated debt are at a negotiated fixed rate or at a variable rate based on LIBOR, and 
the interest rates on peso-denominated debt are based on the Interbank Interest Equilibrium Rate.

In the years ended October 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, NFC paid cash dividends and returned capital to NI of zero, $220 million, 
and $125 million, respectively. These payments are subject to the restricted payment covenants set forth in the NFC bank credit 
facility.

Commercial Paper

Effective February 2017, our Mexican financial services operation entered into a five-year commercial paper program for up to 
P1.8 billion (the equivalent of approximately $94 million at October 31, 2017). This program replaced the program that 
matured in December 2016. 

Borrowings Secured by Operating and Finance Leases

International Truck Leasing Corporation ("ITLC"), a special purpose, wholly-owned subsidiary of NFC, provides NFC with 
another entity to obtain borrowings secured by leases. The balances are classified under Financial Services operations debt as 
borrowings secured by leases. ITLC's assets are available to satisfy its creditors' claims prior to such assets becoming available 
for ITLC's use or to NFC or affiliated companies. For the years ended October 31, 2017 and 2016, ITLC issued new borrowings 
of $31 million and $41 million, respectively. The balance of these secured borrowings issued by ITLC totaled $94 million and 
$98 million as of October 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The carrying amount of assets used as collateral was $117 million 
and $119 million as of October 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. ITLC does not have any unsecured debt.

2018 - $294 million; 2019 - $448 million; 2020 - $35 million; 2021 - $57 million; 2022 - $26 million; Thereafter - $2.8 billion; In Total - $3.7 billion.

Debt and Lease Covenants 

We have certain public and private debt agreements, including the indenture for our Senior Notes, the loan agreements for the 
Tax Exempt Bonds, the Senior Secured Term Loan Credit Facility, and the Amended and Restated Asset-Based Credit Facility, 
which limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends, buy back our stock, and take other actions. The terms of 
our 2018 Convertible Notes and 2019 Convertible Notes (together, the "Notes") do not contain covenants that could limit the 
amount of debt we may issue, or restrict us from paying dividends or repurchasing our other securities. However, the indentures 
for the Notes define circumstances under which we would be required to repurchase the Notes and include limitations on 
consolidation, merger, and sale of our assets. As of October 31, 2017, we were in compliance with these covenants.

We are also required under certain agreements with public and private lenders of NFC to ensure that NFC and its subsidiaries 
maintain their income before interest expense and income taxes at not less than 125% of their total interest expense. Under 
these agreements, if NFC's consolidated income, including capital contributions made by NIC or NI, before interest expense 
and income taxes is less than 125% of its interest expense ("fixed charge coverage ratio"), NIC or NI must make payments to 
NFC to achieve the required ratio. During the years ended October 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, no such payments were made. 

Our Mexican financial services operations also have debt covenants, which require the maintenance of certain financial ratios. 
As of October 31, 2017, we were in compliance with those covenants.

10. Postretirement Benefits

Defined Benefit Plans

We provide postretirement benefits to a substantial portion of our employees and retirees. Costs associated with postretirement 
benefits include pension and postretirement health care expenses for employees, retirees, surviving spouses and dependents.

The accumulated benefit obligation for pension benefits, a measure that excludes the effect of prospective salary and wage 
increases, was $3.8 billion and $4 billion for October 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. 

The cumulative postretirement benefit adjustment included in the Consolidated Statement of Stockholders' Deficit at October 
31, 2017 is net of $503 million of deferred taxes related to our postretirement benefit plans.

Generally, the pension plans are non-contributory. Our policy is to fund the pension plans in accordance with applicable 
U.S. and Canadian government regulations and to make additional contributions from time to time. As of October 31, 2017, we 
have met all regulatory funding requirements. In 2017, we contributed $112 million to our pension plans to meet regulatory 
funding requirements. We expect to contribute approximately $134 million to our pension plans during 2018. 

We primarily fund other post-employment benefit ("OPEB") obligations, such as retiree medical, in accordance with the 1993 
Settlement Agreement, which requires us to fund a portion of the plans' annual service cost to a retiree benefit trust (the "Base 
Trust"). The 1993 Settlement Agreement resolved a class action lawsuit originally filed in 1992 regarding the restructuring of 
our then applicable retiree health care and life insurance benefits. In 2017, we contributed $2 million to our OPEB plans to meet 
legal funding requirements. We expect to contribute $1 million to our OPEB plans during 2018.

We have certain unfunded pension plans, under which we make payments directly to employees. Benefit payments of $16 
million and $15 million for October 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, are included within the amount of Benefits paid in the 
Change in benefit obligation section above, but are not included in the Change in plan assets section, because the payments are 
made directly by us and not by separate trusts that are used in the funding of our other pension plans.

We also have certain OPEB benefits that are paid from Company assets (instead of trust assets). Payments from Company 
assets, net of participant contributions and subsidy receipts, result in differences between benefits paid as presented under 
Change in benefit obligation and Change in plan assets of $48 million and $66 million for 2017 and 2016, respectively.

In April 2016, we filed a qualified partial wind-up report for approval by FSCO related to the 2011 closure of our Chatham, 
Ontario plant. FSCO provided formal approval in January 2017. As a result of an ongoing administration review ordered in 
conjunction with the partial wind-up, we recognized $1 million of contractual termination charges in the first quarter of 2017. 
During the third quarter of 2017, we finalized the Chatham closure agreement. This resulted in the release of $66 million in 
other postemployment benefit ("OPEB") liabilities. In addition, a pension settlement accounting charge of $23 million was 
recorded as a result of lump-sum payments made to certain pension plan participants. These charges and benefits were recorded 
in our Truck segment within Restructuring charges in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 2, Restructurings 
and impairments for further discussion. As a result of the pension and OPEB plan remeasurements in connection with the 
finalization of the Chatham closure agreement, net actuarial gains of $21 million were recognized as a component of 
Accumulated other comprehensive loss in the third quarter of 2017.

In the third quarter of 2017, we committed to a plan to cease engine production at our Melrose Park Facility in the third quarter 
of fiscal year 2018. As a result, in the third quarter of 2017, we recognized $9 million of pension and $4 million of OPEB 
contractual termination benefits charges and $10 million of OPEB curtailment charges. These charges were recorded in our 
Truck segment within Restructuring charges in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 2, Restructurings and 
impairments for further discussion. A pension curtailment gain of $2 million and net actuarial gains of $91 million resulting 
from pension and OPEB remeasurements in connection with our Melrose Park Facility announcement were recognized as a 
component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss in the third quarter of 2017.

Also, during 2017, in accordance with the intraperiod tax allocation rules, we recorded a net benefit of $28 million related to 
domestic continuing operations in Income tax expense in our Consolidated Statements of Operations, and an offsetting 
reduction in other comprehensive income due to the remeasurement of certain pension and OPEB plans.

The estimated amounts for the defined benefit pension plans and the other postretirement benefit plans that will be amortized 
from AOCL into net periodic benefit expense over the next fiscal year are as follows:

Cumulative unrecognized actuarial gains and losses for postretirement benefit plans, where substantially all of the plan 
participants are inactive, are amortized over the average remaining life expectancy of the inactive plan participants. Otherwise, 
cumulative gains and losses are amortized over the average remaining service period of active employees. 

Plan amendments unrelated to negotiated labor contracts are amortized over the average remaining service period of active 
employees or the remaining life expectancy of the inactive participants based upon the nature of the amendment and the 
participants impacted. Plan amendments arising from negotiated labor contracts are amortized over the length of the contract.

The actuarial assumptions used to compute the net postretirement benefits expense (income) are based upon information 
available as of the beginning of the year, specifically market interest rates, past experience, and our best estimate of future 
economic conditions. Changes in these assumptions may impact the measurement of future benefit costs and obligations. In 
computing future costs and obligations, we must make assumptions about such things as employee mortality and turnover, 
expected salary and wage increases, discount rates, expected returns on plan assets, and expected future cost increases. Three of 
these items have a significant impact on the level of expense recognized: (i) discount rates, (ii) expected rates of return on plan 
assets, and (iii) healthcare cost trend rates. 

99

 
 
Navistar International Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

We determine the discount rate for our pension and OPEB obligations by matching anticipated future benefit payments for the 
plans to a high-quality corporate bond yield curve to establish a weighted average discount rate for each plan. 

We determine our assumption as to expected return on plan assets by evaluating historical performance, investment community 
forecasts, and current market conditions. We consider the current asset mix as well as our targeted asset mix when establishing 
the expected return on plan assets. 

Health care cost trend rates have been established through a review of actual recent cost trends and projected future trends. Our 
retiree medical and drug cost trend assumptions are our best estimate of expected inflationary increases to healthcare costs. Due 
to the number of former employees and their beneficiaries included in our retiree population (approximately 32,000), the trend 
assumptions are based upon both our specific trends and nationally expected trends. 

The weighted average rate of increase in the per capita cost of postretirement health care benefits provided through U.S. plans 
representing 93% of our other postretirement benefit obligation, is projected to be 7.1% in 2018 and was estimated as 9.0% for 
2017. Our projections assume that the rate will decrease to 5% by the year 2022 and remain at that level each year thereafter. 

The effect of changing the health care cost trend rate by one-percentage point for each future year is as follows:

Plan Assets 

The accounting guidance on fair value measurements specifies a fair value hierarchy based upon the observability of inputs 
used in valuation techniques (Level 1, 2 and 3). See Note 12, Fair Value Measurements, for a discussion of the fair value 
hierarchy.

The following describes the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate fair value of the investments: 

•  Cash and short-term investments—Valued at cost plus earnings from investments for the period, which approximates fair 

market value due to the short-term duration. Cash equivalents are valued at net asset value as provided by the 
administrator of the fund. 

•  U.S. Government and agency securities—Valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the security 
is traded or valued by the trustee at year-end using various pricing services of financial institutions, including Interactive 
Data Corporation, Standard & Poor's and Telekurs. 

•  Corporate debt securities—Valued by the trustee at year-end using various pricing services of financial institutions, 

including Interactive Data Corporation, Standard & Poor's and Telekurs. 

•  Common and preferred stock—Valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the security is traded. 

•  Collective trusts, Partnerships/joint venture interests and Hedge funds—Valued at the net asset value provided by the 

administrator of the fund. The net asset value is based on the value of the underlying assets owned by the fund, minus its 
liabilities, divided by the number of units outstanding. 

•  Derivatives -Valued monthly for the trustee using various pricing services of financial institutions, including Interactive

The investment strategy of the postretirement pension plans (the "Plans") is based on many factors including broad economic 
factors, historical and prospective information regarding capital market performance, investment strategies available to an asset 
pool of this size, the current regulatory environment, the Plans’ liabilities and the expected interaction between assets and 
liabilities. The primary objective of the strategy is to manage assets in such a way that will allow the eventual satisfaction of 
obligations to the Plans’ participants and beneficiaries. To meet the primary objective the portfolios will be structured to provide 
liquidity to meet the Plans’ benefit payment obligations and administration expenses, offer a reasonable probability of achieving 
growth in assets that will assist in closing the Plans’ funding gap and enable the Plans to satisfy their liabilities.

Given the relationship between risk and return a moderately aggressive risk profile was implemented. Primary emphasis is to 
strike a balance between portfolio stability and portfolio appreciation. 

In line with the Plans' return objectives and risk parameters, target asset allocations, which were established following a 2015 
asset liability study, are approximately 70% return-seeking assets and 30% liability-hedging assets. The return-seeking assets 
include long only equities (both active and passive, domestic and international, across the capitalization range) to capture long-
term growth opportunities, hedge fund of funds to diversify the equity beta, return seeking credit (including high yield debt, 
emerging market debt and bank loans) to provide a meaningful level of absolute return and diversify equity beta, global real 
estate to diversify the equity beta and private equity. The liability-hedging assets are invested in high-quality, investment grade 
bonds with durations that approximate the durations of the liabilities. The objective of the liability hedging assets is to dampen 
the Plans’ surplus volatility.

All assets are managed by external investment managers. Each investment manager is expected to prudently manage the assets 
in a manner consistent with the investment objectives, guidelines, and constraints outlined in their Investment Management 
Agreements and the Investment Policy Statement. Managers are not permitted to invest outside of the asset class mandate (e.g., 
equity, fixed income, alternatives) or strategy for which they are appointed.

Our defined contribution plans cover a substantial portion of domestic salaried employees and certain domestic represented 
employees. The defined contribution plans contain a 401(k) feature and provide most participants with a matching contribution 
from the Company. We deposit the matching contribution annually. Many participants covered by the plans receive annual 
Company contributions to their retirement accounts based on an age-weighted percentage of the participant's eligible 
compensation for the calendar year. Defined contribution expense pursuant to these plans was $29 million in 2017, 2016 and 
2015. 

In accordance with the 1993 Settlement Agreement, an independent Retiree Supplemental Benefit Trust (the "Supplemental 
Trust") was established. The Supplemental Trust, and the benefits it provides to certain retirees pursuant to a certain Retiree 
Supplemental Benefit Program under the 1993 Settlement Agreement ("Supplemental Benefit Program"), is not part of our 
consolidated financial statements. 

Our contingent profit sharing obligations under a certain Supplemental Benefit Trust Profit Sharing Plan ("Supplemental 
Benefit Trust Profit Sharing Plan") will continue until certain funding targets defined by the 1993 Settlement Agreement are 
met. We have recorded no profit sharing accruals based on the operating performance of the entities that are included in the 
determination of qualifying profits. For more information on pending arbitration regarding the Supplemental Benefit Trust 
Profit Sharing Plan, see Note 13, Commitments and Contingencies.

The tax effect of pretax income or loss from continuing operations generally should be determined by a computation that does 
not consider the tax effects of items that are not included in continuing operations. An exception to that incremental approach is 
applied when there is a loss from continuing operations and income in another category of earnings (for example, discontinued 
operations, other comprehensive income, additional paid in capital, etc.). 

104

Navistar International Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

In that situation, the tax provision is first allocated to the other categories of earnings. A related tax benefit is then recorded in 
continuing operations. This exception to the general rule applies even when a valuation allowance is in place at the beginning 
and end of the year. While intraperiod tax allocations do not change the overall tax provision, it may result in a gross-up of the 
individual components, thereby changing the amount of tax provision included in each category of income. During 2017, we 
recorded a $28 million intraperiod allocation benefit in domestic continuing operations associated with certain post retirement 
plan remeasurement gains.

For the year ended October 31, 2017 and 2016, we incurred additional losses in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions and 
recognized income tax expense of $57 million and $132 million, respectively, for the increase in the valuation allowance on our 
deferred tax assets generated during the period.

At October 31, 2017, undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries were $551 million. Income taxes have not been provided on 
foreign undistributed earnings because they are either considered to be permanently invested in foreign subsidiaries or are 
expected to be repatriated without incremental U.S. tax. It is not practicable to estimate the amount of unrecognized deferred 
tax liabilities, if any, for foreign earnings deemed to be permanently reinvested.

At October 31, 2017, deferred tax assets attributable to NOL carryforwards include $988 million attributable to U.S. federal 
NOL carryforwards, $152 million attributable to state NOL carryforwards, and $243 million attributable to foreign NOL 
carryforwards. If not used to reduce future taxable income, U.S. federal NOLs are scheduled to expire beginning in 2025. State 
NOLs can be carried forward for initial periods of 5 to 20 years, and are scheduled to expire in 2018 to 2037. Approximately 
one fourth of our foreign net operating losses will expire, beginning in 2029, while the majority of the remaining balance has no 
expiration date.

There are $63 million of NOL carryforwards relating to stock option tax benefits which are deferred until utilization of our net 
operating losses. These tax benefits are allocated to Additional paid-in capital when recognized. The majority of our tax credits 
can be carried forward for initial periods of 20 years, and are scheduled to expire in 2019 to 2037. AMT credits can be carried 
forward indefinitely. 

A valuation allowance is required to be established or maintained when, based on currently available information, it is more 
likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The guidance on accounting for income taxes 
provides important factors in determining whether a deferred tax asset will be realized, including whether there has been 
sufficient taxable income in recent years and whether sufficient income can reasonably be expected in future years in order to 
utilize the deferred tax asset. 

For the year ended October 31, 2017, we have evaluated the need to maintain a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets 
based on our assessment of whether it is more likely than not that deferred tax benefits will be realized through the generation 
of future taxable income. Appropriate consideration is given to all available evidence, both positive and negative, in assessing 
the need for a valuation allowance. 

105

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

We incurred additional domestic losses from continuing operations for the years ended October 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, 
resulting in objective negative evidence of cumulative losses that outweighs the subjective positive evidence. The qualitative 
and quantitative analysis of current and expected domestic earnings, industry volumes, tax planning strategies, and general 
business risks resulted in a more likely than not conclusion of not being able to realize a significant portion of our deferred tax 
assets as of October 31, 2017.

We have evaluated the need to maintain a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets based on our assessment of whether it is 
more likely than not that deferred tax benefits will be realized through the generation of future taxable income. Appropriate 
consideration is given to all available evidence, both positive and negative, in assessing the need for a valuation allowance. We 
continue to maintain a valuation allowances on the majority of our U.S. deferred tax assets as well as certain foreign deferred 
tax assets that we believe, on a more-likely-than-not basis, will not be realized based on current forecasted results. For all 
remaining deferred tax assets, while we believe that it is more likely than not that they will be realized, we believe that it is 
reasonably possible that additional deferred tax asset valuation allowances could be required in the next twelve months.

The total deferred tax asset valuation allowances were $3.3 billion and $3.4 billion at October 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. 
In the event we released all of our valuation allowances, almost all would impact income taxes as a benefit in our Consolidated 
Statements of Operations.

We recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be 
sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in 
the consolidated financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty 
percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. As of October 31, 2017, the amount of liability for uncertain tax 
positions was $34 million. The liability at October 31, 2017 has a recorded offsetting tax benefit associated with various issues 
that total $14 million. If the unrecognized tax benefits are recognized, all would impact our effective tax rate, except for 
positions for which we maintain a full valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets. In this case, the effect may be in 
the form of an increase in the deferred tax asset related to our net operating loss carryforward, which would be offset by a full 
valuation allowance.

Changes in the liability for uncertain tax positions are summarized as follows: 

(in millions)
Liability for uncertain tax positions at November 1......................................................................................... $
Decrease as a result of positions taken in prior periods ............................................................................
Settlements ................................................................................................................................................
Liability for uncertain tax positions at October 31........................................................................................... $

For the Year Ended
October 31, 2017

(15)

We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as part of Income tax expense. Total interest and penalties 
related to our uncertain tax positions resulted in an income tax benefit of $6 million, income tax expense of less than $1 million, 
and $1 million for the years ended October 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, respectively. The total interest and penalties accrued were 
$4 million and $8 million for the years ended October 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

We released $14 million of uncertain tax positions based on administrative practice and precedents of relevant tax authorities in 
2017.

We have open tax years back to 2001 with various significant taxing jurisdictions including the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and 
Brazil. In connection with the examination of tax returns, contingencies may arise that generally result from differing 
interpretations of applicable tax laws and regulations as they relate to the amount, timing, or inclusion of revenues or expenses 
in taxable income, or the sustainability of tax credits to reduce income taxes payable. We believe we have sufficient accruals for 
our contingent tax liabilities. Annual tax provisions include amounts considered sufficient to pay assessments that may result 
from examinations of prior year tax returns, although actual results may differ. While it is probable that the liability for 
unrecognized tax benefits may increase or decrease during the next twelve months, we do not expect any such change would 
have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

12. Fair Value Measurements

For assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis, a three-level hierarchy of measurements 
based upon observable and unobservable inputs is used to arrive at fair value. Observable inputs are developed based on market 
data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our assumptions about valuation based on the best 
information available in the circumstances. Depending on the inputs, we classify each fair value measurement as follows:

•  Level 1—based upon quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets,

•  Level 2—based upon quoted prices for similar instruments, prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that 

are not active, or model-derived valuations, all of whose significant inputs are observable, and

•  Level 3—based upon one or more significant unobservable inputs.

The following section describes key inputs and assumptions in our valuation methodologies:

Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash Equivalents—Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with an original maturity 
of 90 days or less which may include U.S. government and federal agency securities, commercial paper, and other highly liquid 
investments. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash approximate fair value because of the short-
term maturity and highly liquid nature of these instruments.

Marketable Securities—Our marketable securities portfolios are classified as available-for-sale and may include investments in 
U.S. government and federal agency securities, commercial paper and other investments with an original maturity greater than 
90 days. We use quoted prices from active markets to determine fair value.

Derivative Assets and Liabilities—We measure the fair value of derivatives assuming that the unit of account is an individual 
derivative transaction and that each derivative could be sold or transferred on a stand-alone basis. We classify within Level 2 
our derivatives that are traded over-the-counter and valued using internal models based on observable market inputs. In certain 
cases, market data is not available and we estimate inputs such as in situations where trading in a particular commodity is not 
active. Measurements based upon these unobservable inputs are classified within Level 3. 

Guarantees—We provide certain guarantees of payments and residual values, to which losses are generally capped, to specific 
counterparties. The fair value of these guarantees includes a contingent component and a non-contingent component that are 
based upon internally developed models using unobservable inputs. We classify these liabilities within Level 3. For more 
information regarding guarantees, see Note 13, Commitments and Contingencies.

Impaired Finance Receivables and Impaired Assets Under Operating Leases—Fair values of the underlying collateral are 
determined by current and forecasted sales prices, aging of and demand for used trucks, and the mix of sales through various 
market channels. For more information regarding impaired finance receivables, see Note 4, Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, 
and for more information regarding impaired assets under operating leases, see Note 2, Restructuring and Impairments.

Impaired Property, Plant and Equipment—We measure the fair value by discounting future cash flows expected to be received 
from the operation of, or disposition of, the asset or asset group that has been determined to be impaired. For more information 
regarding the impairment of property, plant and equipment, see Note 2, Restructuring and Impairments.

(A)  Certain impaired finance receivables are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. An impairment charge is recorded for the amount by which the 
carrying value of the receivables exceeds the fair value of the underlying collateral, net of remarketing costs. Fair values of the underlying collateral are 
determined by reference to dealer vehicle value publications adjusted for certain market factors.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

In addition to the methods and assumptions we use for the financial instruments recorded at fair value as discussed above, we 
use the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair value for our other financial instruments that are not marked to 
market on a recurring basis. The carrying amounts of Cash and cash equivalents, Restricted cash, and Accounts payable 
approximate fair values because of the short-term maturity and highly liquid nature of these instruments. Finance receivables 
generally consist of retail and wholesale accounts and retail and wholesale notes. The carrying amounts of Trade and other 
receivables and retail and wholesale accounts approximate fair values as a result of the short-term nature of the receivables. The 
carrying amounts of wholesale notes approximate fair values as a result of the short-term nature of the wholesale notes and their 
variable interest rate terms. Due to the nature of the aforementioned financial instruments, they have been excluded from the 
fair value amounts presented in the table below.

The fair values of our retail notes are estimated by discounting expected cash flows at estimated current market rates. The fair 
values of our retail notes are classified as Level 3 financial instruments.

The fair values of our debt instruments classified as Level 1 were determined using quoted market prices. The 6.5% Tax 
Exempt Bonds, due 2040, are traded, but the trading market is illiquid, and as a result, the Loan Agreement underlying the Tax 
Exempt Bonds is classified as Level 2. The fair values of our Level 3 debt instruments are generally determined using internally 
developed valuation techniques such as discounted cash flow modeling. Inputs such as discount rates and credit spreads reflect 
our estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the instrument and may be unobservable.

_________________________
(A)  The carrying value represents the consolidated financial statement amount of the debt which excludes the allocation of the conversion feature to equity. As 
of October 31, 2017 and 2016, the estimated fair value is derived from quoted prices in active markets which include the equity feature. Adjustments have 
been made to the classification of these instruments for the prior year in order to conform to the 2017 presentation. 

13. Commitments and Contingencies

Guarantees

We occasionally provide guarantees that could obligate us to make future payments if the primary entity fails to perform under 
its contractual obligations. We have recognized liabilities for some of these guarantees in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as 
they meet the recognition and measurement provisions of U.S. GAAP. In addition to the liabilities that have been recognized, 
we are contingently liable for other potential losses under various guarantees. We do not believe that claims that may be made 
under such guarantees would have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Under the terms of the Navistar Capital Operating Agreement, BMO Financial Group and its wholly-owned subsidiary BMO 
Harris Bank N.A. (together "BMO") is our third-party preferred source of retail customer financing for equipment offered by us 
and our dealers in the U.S. We refer to this alliance as "Navistar Capital." The Navistar Capital Operating Agreement contains a 
loss sharing arrangement for certain credit losses. Under the loss sharing arrangement, as amended, we generally reimburse our 
financing partner for credit losses in excess of the first 10% of the financed value of a contract; for certain leases we reimburse 
our financing partner for credit losses up to a maximum of the first 9.5% of the financed value of those lease contracts. Our 
exposure to loss is mitigated because contracts under the Navistar Capital Operating Agreement are secured by the financed 
equipment. There were $1.4 billion and $1.5 billion of outstanding loan principal and operating lease payments receivable at 
October 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, financed through the Navistar Capital Operating Agreement and subject to the loss 
sharing arrangements in the U.S. The related financed values of these outstanding contracts were $2.4 billion at both October 
31, 2017 and 2016. Generally, we do not carry the contracts under the Navistar Capital Operating Agreement on our 
Consolidated Balance Sheets. However, for certain Navistar Capital financed contracts which we have accounted for as 
borrowings, we have recognized equipment leased to others of $116 million and $48 million and financed lease obligations of 
$129 million and $51 million, in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of October 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

110

 
Navistar International Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

We also have issued a limited number of residual value guarantees, for which losses are generally capped. If substantial risk of 
loss has not transferred, we account for these arrangements as operating leases and revenue is recognized on a straight-line 
basis over the term of the lease. If substantial risk of loss has transferred, revenue is recognized upon sale and the amounts of 
the guarantees are estimated and recorded. Our guarantees are contingent upon the fair value of the leased assets at the end of 
the lease term. We have recognized liabilities for some of these guarantees in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as they meet 
recognition and measurement provisions. In addition to the liabilities that have been recognized, we are contingently liable for 
other potential losses under various guarantees that are not recognized in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We do not believe 
claims that may be made under such guarantees would have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or 
cash flows.

We have certain stand-by letters of credit and surety bonds issued on our behalf by third-party financial institutions in the 
ordinary course of business when required under contracts or to satisfy insurance-related requirements. As of October 31, 2017, 
the amount of stand-by letters of credit and surety bonds issued was $90 million.

In addition, as of October 31, 2017, we have entered into various purchase commitments of $26 million and contracts that have 
cancellation fees of $34 million with various expiration dates through 2024. 

In the ordinary course of business, we also provide routine indemnifications and other guarantees, the terms of which range in 
duration and often are not explicitly defined. We do not believe these will result in claims that would have a material impact on 
our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Environmental Liabilities

We have been named a potentially responsible party ("PRP"), in conjunction with other parties, in a number of cases arising 
under an environmental protection law, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, 
popularly known as the "Superfund" law. These cases involve sites that allegedly received wastes from current or former 
Company locations. Based on information available to us which, in most cases, consists of data related to quantities and 
characteristics of material generated at current or former Company locations, material allegedly shipped by us to these disposal 
sites, as well as cost estimates from PRPs and/or federal or state regulatory agencies for the cleanup of these sites, a reasonable 
estimate is calculated of our share of the probable costs, if any, and accruals are recorded in our consolidated financial 
statements. These accruals are generally recognized no later than upon completion of the remedial feasibility study and are not 
discounted to their present value. We review all accruals on a regular basis and believe that, based on these calculations, our 
share of the potential additional costs for the cleanup of each site will not have a material effect on our financial condition, 
results of operations, or cash flows.

In addition, other sites formerly owned by us or where we are currently operating have been identified as having soil and 
groundwater contamination. While investigations and cleanup activities continue at these sites, we believe that we have 
adequate accruals to cover costs to complete the cleanup of all sites.

We have accrued $19 million for these and other environmental matters, which are included within Other current liabilities and 
Other noncurrent liabilities, as of October 31, 2017. The majority of these accrued liabilities are expected to be paid subsequent 
to 2018.

Along with other vehicle manufacturers, we have been subject to an increased number of asbestos-related claims in recent 
years. In general, these claims relate to illnesses alleged to have resulted from asbestos exposure from component parts found in 
older vehicles, although some cases relate to the alleged presence of asbestos in our facilities. In these claims, we are generally 
not the sole defendant, and the claims name as defendants numerous manufacturers and suppliers of a wide variety of products 
allegedly containing asbestos. We have strongly disputed these claims, and it has been our policy to defend against them 
vigorously. Historically, the actual damages paid out to claimants have not been material in any year to our financial condition, 
results of operations, or cash flows. It is possible that the number of these claims will continue to grow, and that the costs for 
resolving asbestos related claims could become significant in the future.

Legal Proceedings

Overview

We are subject to various claims arising in the ordinary course of business, and are party to various legal proceedings that 
constitute ordinary, routine litigation incidental to our business. The majority of these claims and proceedings relate to 
commercial, product liability, and warranty matters. In addition, from time to time we are subject to various claims and legal 
proceedings related to employee compensation, benefits, and benefits administration including, but not limited to, compliance 
with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), and Department of Labor requirements. 

111

Navistar International Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

In our opinion, apart from the actions set forth below, the disposition of these proceedings and claims, after taking into account 
recorded accruals and the availability and limits of our insurance coverage, will not have a material adverse effect on our 
business or our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Profit Sharing Disputes

Pursuant to the 1993 Settlement Agreement, the program administrator and named fiduciary of the Supplemental Benefit 
Program is the Supplemental Benefit Program Committee (the "Committee"), composed of individuals not appointed by NI or 
NIC. In August 2013, the Committee filed a motion for leave to amend its February 2013 complaint (which sought injunctive 
relief for the Company to provide certain information to which it was allegedly entitled under the Supplemental Benefit Trust 
Profit Sharing Plan) and a proposed amended complaint (the "Profit Sharing Complaint") in the U.S. District Court for the 
Southern District of Ohio (the "Court"). Leave to file the Profit Sharing Complaint was granted by the Court in October 2013. 
In its Profit Sharing Complaint, the Committee alleged the Company breached the 1993 Settlement Agreement and violated 
ERISA by failing to properly calculate profit sharing contributions due under the Supplemental Benefit Trust Profit Sharing 
Plan. The Committee seeks damages in excess of $50 million, injunctive relief and reimbursement of attorneys' fees and costs. 
Following the resolution of a procedural dispute by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit, in May 2015, the Court 
ordered that the claims in the Profit Sharing Complaint be arbitrated pursuant to the dispute resolution procedures in the 
Supplemental Benefit Trust Profit Sharing Plan. In November 2015, the Company and the Committee selected an arbitrator and 
the discovery process has commenced. On August 1, 2016, the parties submitted briefs on issues related to the scope of the 
arbitration. On June 29, 2017, the arbitrator ruled, among other things, that the arbitration will include Supplemental Benefit 
Trust Profit Sharing Plan calculations for the years ending October 31, 2000 through October 31, 2014.

In addition, various local bargaining units of the United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of 
America ("UAW") have filed separate grievances pursuant to the profit sharing plans under various collective bargaining 
agreements in effect between the Company and the UAW that may have similar legal and factual issues as the Profit Sharing 
Complaint.

Based on our assessment of the facts underlying the claims in the above actions, we are unable to provide meaningful 
quantification of how the final resolution of these claims may impact our future consolidated financial condition, results of 
operations, or cash flows.

Retiree Health Care Litigation

On October 21, 2016, two lawsuits were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio relating to 
postretirement healthcare and life insurance obligations under the 1993 Settlement Agreement. The first lawsuit (the 
“Committee’s Complaint”) was filed by the Supplemental Benefit Program Committee. 

The Committee’s Complaint was filed against NIC, NI, NFC and a former affiliate, all of which are parties to the 1993 
Settlement Agreement. Since January 1, 2012, the Navistar, Inc. Retiree Health Benefit Trust, created pursuant to the 1993 
Settlement Agreement (the “Base Trust”), has received certain Medicare Part D subsidies from the federal Centers for Medicare 
and Medicaid Services that were made available for prescription drug benefits provided to Medicare-eligible seniors pursuant to 
the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 and has also received certain Medicare Part D 
coverage-gap discounts from prescription drug manufacturers that were made available to eligible seniors pursuant to the 
Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (collectively, the “Subsidies”). The Committee alleges, among other things, that the 
defendants breached the 1993 Settlement Agreement since January 1, 2012 by causing the Base Trust to allocate the Subsidies 
in a manner that improperly decreased the defendants’ contributions to the Base Trust and increased retiree contributions. The 
Committee seeks damages, attorneys’ fees and costs for all alleged violations of the 1993 Settlement Agreement, including 
approximately $26 million which the Committee alleges is the eligible retirees’ “fair share” of the Subsidies that were allegedly 
misappropriated by the defendants from January, 2012 through April, 2015. 

The second lawsuit was filed by two individual members of the Committee (the “Committee Members”) who are retirees and 
participants in the Navistar, Inc. Health Benefit and Life Insurance Plan (the “Plan”) created pursuant to the 1993 Settlement 
Agreement. The Committee Members’ complaint (the “Committee Members’ Complaint”) was filed against NIC, NI, NFC and 
certain other former or current affiliates, all of which are parties or employers as defined in the 1993 Settlement 
Agreement. The Committee Members allege, among other things, that the Company violated the terms of the Plan, breached a 
fiduciary duty under the ERISA, and engaged in ERISA-prohibited transactions by improperly using the Plan’s assets (a portion 
of the Subsidies) for the Company’s benefit. 

112

Navistar International Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

The Committee Members request that the court order the defendants to restore all losses to the Base Trust, including 
approximately $26 million, which the Committee Members allege is the Plan participants’ “fair share” of the Subsidies that 
were allegedly misappropriated by the defendants from January 2012 through April 2015. The Committee Members also 
request that the court enjoin the defendants from alleged future violations of the Plan and ERISA with respect to treatment of 
the Subsidies, order the defendants to remedy all alleged ERISA-prohibited transactions and pay the Committee Members’ 
attorneys’ fees and costs.  

The defendants filed motions to dismiss each respective complaint on January 10, 2017. On May 10, 2017, the court dismissed 
the Committee's Complaint with prejudice, stating that the Committee lacked standing to bring its claims. With respect to the 
Committee Members’ Complaint, the court declined to dismiss the complaint, but ordered the parties to conduct discovery 
regarding whether the Committee Members’ Complaint was barred by the applicable statute of limitations and to file a motion 
for summary judgment thereafter on that issue of timeliness. The defendants filed their motion for summary judgment on 
September 21, 2017, the Committee Members’ filed their opposition on November 2, 2017, and the defendants filed their reply 
on November 22, 2017.  The motion for summary judgment is pending before the court. 

On April 6, 2017, a motion was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio relating to postretirement 
healthcare and life insurance obligations under the 1993 Settlement Agreement. The motion was filed by the current "Other 
Member" of the Health Benefit Program Committee ("HBPC"). The HBPC is provided for in the 1993 Settlement Agreement 
and the HBPC currently consists of the Other Member, three members appointed by the Company ("Company Members"), and 
two members appointed by the UAW. NI and the Company Members are named as defendants in the motion. The motion 
alleges that NI and the Company Members impermissibly interfered with the Other Member's ability to discharge his rights and 
duties relating to eligibility for Plan benefits for an unknown number of non-represented employees and retirees. He requests 
the court (a) find that all prior Plan eligibility determinations made by NI and the HBPC are invalid to the extent they were not 
based on eligibility criteria in a plan which pre-dated the Plan; and (b) find all employees or retirees who were improperly 
denied Plan benefits based on the application of incorrect eligibility criteria, to retroactively enroll them in the Plan, and to 
reimburse those retirees for costs they incurred as a result of the prior improper determinations of Plan eligibility. He estimates 
1,000 non-represented employees or retirees were wrongfully denied Plan benefits. He also requests the court direct him to 
oversee NI's compliance with the requested relief order. The defendants filed their response to the motion on May 11, 2017 and 
the Other Member filed his reply on May 17, 2017. The court overruled the Other Member's motion on October 20, 2017.

Based on our assessment of the facts underlying the claims in the above actions, we are unable to provide meaningful 
quantification of how the final resolution of these claims may impact our future consolidated financial condition, results of 
operations, or cash flows.

FATMA Notice

International Indústria Automotiva da América do Sul Ltda. ("IIAA"), formerly known as Maxion International Motores S/A 
("Maxion"), now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, received a notice in July 2010 from the State of Santa Catarina 
Environmental Protection Agency ("FATMA") in Brazil. The notice alleged that Maxion sent waste to a facility owned and 
operated by a company known as Natureza and that soil and groundwater contamination had occurred at the Natureza facility. 

The notice asserted liability against Maxion and assessed an initial penalty in the amount of R$2 million (the equivalent of 
approximately less than US$1 million at October 31, 2017), which is not due and final until all administrative appeals are 
exhausted. Maxion was one of numerous companies that received similar notices. IIAA filed an administrative defense in 
August 2010 and has not yet received a decision following that filing. IIAA disputes the allegations in the notice and intends to 
vigorously defend itself. In August 2017, IIAA presented a motion to the District Attorney to set forth its defenses and correct 
inaccuracies in the notice. In September 2017, the District Attorney informed IIAA that it intended to present a Consent 
Agreement to all of the companies that sent waste to Natureza. IIAA then filed a motion requesting that the District Attorney 
consider certain facts and circumstances before the District Attorney presented such Consent Agreement. Currently, no demands 
or offers are outstanding.

Sao Paulo Groundwater Notice

In March 2014, IIAA, along with other nearby companies, received from the Sao Paulo District Attorney (the "District 
Attorney") a notice and proposed Consent Agreement relating to alleged neighborhood-wide groundwater contamination at or 
around its Sao Paulo manufacturing facility. The proposed Consent Agreement sought certain groundwater investigations and 
other technical relief and proposed sanctions in the amount of R$3 million (the equivalent of approximately US$1 million at 
October 31, 2017). In November 2014, IIAA extended a settlement offer. The parties remained in discussions and IIAA’s 
settlement offer was never accepted, rejected or countered by the District Attorney. 

113

Navistar International Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

On August 31, 2016, the District Attorney filed civil actions against IIAA and other companies seeking soil and groundwater 
investigation and remediation, together with monetary payment in an unspecified amount. IIAA filed its defense to the civil 
action on January 26, 2017, alleging that IIAA has made all necessary investigations and has taken remedial measures to 
address the contamination and that Companhia Ambiental do Estado de São Paulo (CETESB), the environmental agency of São 
Paulo State, has agreed to the remedial measures taken by IIAA. On June 20, 2017, IIAA presented a petition requesting a 90 
day suspension of the lawsuit. IIAA has since held and is currently engaged in discussions with the District Attorney regarding 
settlement of this matter. The District Attorney agreed to the suspension on June 30, 2017. Settlement discussions between IIAA 
and the District Attorney have since resumed; however, there are no current demands or offers outstanding.

MaxxForce Engine EGR Warranty Litigation

On June 24, 2014, N&C Transportation Ltd. filed a putative class action lawsuit against NIC, NI, Navistar Canada Inc., and 
Harbour International Trucks in Canada in the Supreme Court of British Columbia (the "N&C Action"). Subsequently, seven 
additional, similar putative class action lawsuits have been filed in Canada (together with the N&C Action, the "Canadian 
Actions").

From June 13-17, 2016, the court conducted a certification hearing in the N&C Action. On November 16, 2016, the court 
certified a Canada-wide class comprised of persons who purchased heavy-duty trucks equipped with Advanced EGR 
MaxxForce 11, MaxxForce 13, and MaxxForce 15 engines designed to meet 2010 EPA regulations. The court in the N&C 
Action denied certification to persons who operated but did not buy the trucks in question. On November 2, 2017, NIC, NI, 
Navistar Canada Inc. and Harbour International Trucks filed a notice of appeal.

On June 5, 2017, a hearing was held in the Quebec putative class action lawsuit captioned 4037308 Canada Inc. v. Navistar 
Canada Inc., NI, and NIC. At that hearing, the court ruled on certain motions regarding evidence related to certification but 
deferred a ruling on plaintiff’s proposed amendment to narrow the proposed class to Quebec-only purchasers and lessees of 
model year 2010-13 vehicles containing MaxxForce 11, 13, and 15 liter engines. The class authorization hearing in Quebec has 
not been scheduled. On November 10, 2017, we informed the court that we intend to present a motion to stay the Quebec case 
until the British Columbia Court of Appeal rules on the certification order in the N&C Action. The stay motion was filed on 
November 23, 2017 and was granted on December 7, 2017. 

In the Manitoba putative class action lawsuit captioned Vern Brown v. Navistar International Corporation and Navistar Canada, 
Inc., a case management conference was held on November 17, 2017. Following the conference, the Manitoba court entered an 
order setting a due date of May 31, 2018, for our application to stay the Manitoba proceedings pending resolution of the N&C 
Action appeal.  The court also set a schedule for briefing on certification, with a certification hearing to take place the last week 
of January 2019.  There are no authorization hearings scheduled in any of the other Canadian Actions at this time.

On July 7, 2014, Par 4 Transport, LLC filed a putative class action lawsuit against NI in the United States District Court for the 
Northern District of Illinois (the "Par 4 Action"). Subsequently, seventeen additional putative class action lawsuits were filed in 
various United States district courts, including the Northern District of Illinois, the Eastern District of Wisconsin, the Southern 
District of Florida, the Middle District of Pennsylvania, the Southern District of Texas, the Western District of Kentucky, the 
District of Minnesota, the Northern District of Alabama, and the District of New Jersey (together with the Par 4 Action, the 
"U.S. Actions"). Some of the U.S. Actions name both NIC and NI, and allege matters substantially similar to the Canadian 
Actions. More specifically, the Canadian Actions and the U.S. Actions (collectively, the "EGR Class Actions") seek to certify a 
class of persons or entities in Canada or the United States who purchased and/or leased a ProStar or other Navistar vehicle 
equipped with a model year 2008-2013 MaxxForce Advanced EGR engine.

In substance, the EGR Class Actions allege that the MaxxForce Advanced EGR engines are defective and that the Company 
and NI failed to disclose and correct the alleged defect. The EGR Class Actions assert claims based on theories of contract, 
breach of warranty, consumer fraud, unfair competition, misrepresentation and negligence. The EGR Class Actions seek relief 
in the form of monetary damages, punitive damages, declaratory relief, interest, fees, and costs.

On October 3, 2014, NIC and NI filed a motion before the United States Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (the "MDL 
Panel") seeking to transfer and consolidate before Judge Joan B. Gottschall of the United States District Court for the Northern 
District of Illinois all of the then-pending U.S. Actions, as well as certain non-class action MaxxForce Advanced EGR engine 
lawsuits pending in various federal district courts. 

On December 17, 2014, Navistar's motion to consolidate the U.S. Actions and certain other non-class action lawsuits was 
granted. The MDL Panel issued an order consolidating all of the U.S. Actions that were pending on the date of Navistar’s 
motion before Judge Gottschall in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (the "MDL Action").

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

The MDL Panel also consolidated into the MDL Action certain non-class action MaxxForce Advanced EGR engine lawsuits 
pending in the various federal district courts. Non-class federal lawsuits presenting pre-trial issues similar to the MDL Action 
continue to be transferred to the MDL Action. Approximately 20 such actions are currently pending.

At the request of the various law firms representing the plaintiffs in the MDL Action, on March 5, 2015, Judge Gottschall 
entered an order in the MDL Action appointing interim lead counsel and interim liaison counsel for the plaintiffs. On May 11, 
2015, lead counsel for the plaintiffs filed a First Master Consolidated Class Action Complaint ("Consolidated Complaint"). The 
parties to the MDL Action exchanged initial disclosures on May 29, 2015. The Company answered the Consolidated Complaint 
on July 13, 2015. On September 22, 2016, lead counsel for the plaintiffs filed a First Amended Consolidated Class Action 
Complaint (the “Amended Consolidated Complaint”). The Amended Consolidated Complaint added twenty-five additional 
named plaintiffs. NI and NIC answered the Amended Consolidated Complaint on October 20, 2016. 

On May 27, 2016, Judge Gottschall entered a Case Management Order setting a July 13, 2017 date for plaintiffs' class 
certification motion. On November 30, 2016, the court entered an order referring discovery matters to a magistrate judge for 
supervision. Pursuant to the magistrate’s order, the parties jointly filed a new proposed case management order on January 25, 
2017, which extended the fact discovery deadline to November 22, 2017. On January 31, 2017, the parties filed a joint motion 
with Judge Gottschall requesting adjustment of the class action briefing schedule to April 24, 2018. On February 2, 2017, Judge 
Gottschall granted the parties' motion extending the deadline to complete the class certification briefing to April 24, 2018. On 
February 6, 2017, the magistrate approved the parties' schedule set forth in the case management order jointly filed on January 
25, 2017.  In September 2017, the plaintiffs filed a motion to further extend the case deadlines.  On October 5, 2017, Judge 
Gottschall entered an Agreed Order Extending the Discovery Cutoff ordering that fact discovery relevant to class certification 
be completed by March 13, 2018 and that the class certification briefing be completed by July 31, 2018.

On October 13, 2017, lead counsel for the plaintiffs filed a Motion for Leave to File a Second Amended Class Action 
Complaint (“Proposed Second Amended Consolidated Complaint”), as well as a Motion for Voluntary Dismissal of Claims 
without Prejudice relating to 15 previously named plaintiffs. According to the plaintiffs, the Proposed Second Amended 
Consolidated Complaint “streamlines” the case by removing non-Class 8 trucks and 15 Liter engines from the class definition 
and substitutes six new putative class representatives.  NI and NIC’s responses to the Proposed Second Amended Consolidated 
Complaint and the Motion for Voluntary Dismissal of Claims without Prejudice were filed November 17, 2017 and the 
plaintiffs’ responses were filed on December 1, 2017.   

There are also non-class action MaxxForce Advanced EGR engine lawsuits filed against the Company in various state courts. A 
number of non-class action lawsuits have been resolved in favor of the Company prior to trial or settled for immaterial amounts. 
Approximately 40 state court non-class actions are pending at this time. One of the non-class action lawsuits ("Milan"), alleging 
violations of the Tennessee Consumer Protection Act and fraud and involving approximately 235 trucks, was tried in Tennessee 
state court in August 2017. On August 10, 2017, the Milan jury returned a verdict of approximately $31 million against the 
Company, including $20 million in punitive damages. On October 2, 2017, the Company filed various motions in the trial court 
challenging the verdict, including a Motion for Judgment Notwithstanding the Verdict or, in the Alternative, a New Trial and 
Motion to Disapprove of the Award of Punitive Damages. The hearing on these motions was held on December 1, 2017 and the 
court denied our motions, denied Milan’s motion for pre-judgment interest and granted Milan $1.36 million in fees and costs. 
The Company intends to challenge the verdict in the Tennessee appellate court.  In the third quarter of 2017, we recorded $31 
million of charges in SG&A expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Based on our assessment of the facts 
underlying the claims in the above actions, we are unable to provide meaningful quantification of how the final resolution of 
these claims may impact our future consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

EPA Clean Air Act Litigation

In February 2012, NI received a Notice of Violation ("NOV") from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (the 
"EPA") pertaining to certain heavy-duty diesel engines which, according to the EPA, were not completely assembled by NI until 
calendar year 2010 and, therefore, were not covered by NI's model year 2009 certificates of conformity. The NOV concluded 
that NI's introduction into commerce of each of these engines violated the Federal Clean Air Act.

On July 14, 2015, the Department of Justice ("DOJ"), on behalf of the EPA, filed a lawsuit against NIC and NI in the U.S. 
District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. Similar to the NOV, the lawsuit alleges that NIC and NI introduced into 
commerce approximately 7,749 heavy-duty diesel engines that were not covered by model year 2009 certificates of conformity 
because those engines were not completely assembled until calendar year 2010, resulting in violations of the Federal Clean Air 
Act. On July 16, 2015, the DOJ filed an Amended Complaint clarifying the amount of civil penalties being sought. The lawsuit 
requests injunctive relief and the assessment of civil penalties of up to $37,500 for each violation. On September 14, 2015, NIC 
and NI each filed an Answer and Affirmative Defenses to the Amended Complaint. We dispute the allegations in the lawsuit.

Discovery in the matter is proceeding in two phases. Fact discovery for the liability phase commenced on December 9, 2015. 
Pursuant to the court's Minute Order entered on July 12, 2017, the Phase I liability fact discovery was completed by November 
9, 2017. After completion of the liability phase, the court will set further dates for a remedy phase.

On May 13, 2016, the DOJ, on behalf of the EPA filed a motion for summary judgment on liability. On June 30, 2016, NIC and 
NI opposed the EPA's motion for summary judgment, and NIC cross-moved for summary judgment against EPA. On March 1, 
2017, the court entered a Memorandum Opinion and Order (i) granting the DOJ’s motion for summary judgment on the issue of 
liability with respect to NI, (ii) denying the DOJ’s motion for summary judgment on the issue of liability with respect to NIC, 
and (iii) denying NIC’s motion for summary judgment.

Based on our assessment of the facts underlying the complaint above, potential charges to the Consolidated Statement of 
Operations and cash outlays in future periods could range from $2 million to $291 million related to the resolution of this 
matter. Other than the aforementioned, we are unable to provide further meaningful quantification of how the final resolution of 
this matter may impact our future consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Brazil Truck Dealer Disputes

In January 2014, IIAA initiated an arbitration proceeding under the International Chamber of Commerce rules seeking payment 
for goods sold and unpaid, in the amount of R$64 million (approximately US$20 million as of October 31, 2017), including 
penalties and interest, from a group of affiliated truck dealers in Brazil. The truck dealers are affiliated with each other, but not 
with us, and are collectively referred to as Navitrucks. In the proceeding, IIAA also seeks a declaration of fault against 
Navitrucks related to the termination of the truck dealer agreements between IIAA and Navitrucks. Navitrucks responded in 
part by submitting counterclaims against IIAA seeking the amount of R$128 million (approximately US$39 million as of 
October 31, 2017) for damages related to alleged unfulfilled promises and injury to Navitrucks’ reputation. In October 2014, 
Navitrucks amended their counterclaims by increasing the amount of damages. During a preliminary hearing before the arbitral 
tribunal on March 24, 2015, the parties agreed to submit all of the pending claims between the parties to the exclusive 
jurisdiction of the arbitral tribunal. Pursuant to the timetable issued in the arbitration proceeding, IIAA presented its complaint 
in July 2015, Navitrucks filed its answer and counterclaims on August 24, 2015, and IIAA filed its rebuttal and answer to 
Navitrucks’ counterclaims on October 22, 2015. On December 7, 2015, Navitrucks filed its rebuttal to IIAA’s answer to 
counterclaims. On June 13-15, 2016, the arbitral tribunal held hearings on the parties presenting witnesses and evidence. 

On July 18, 2016, IIAA and Navitrucks presented additional documents and information related to the hearing held on June 
13-15, 2016. On September 30, 2016, the parties presented their final allegations. On April 20, 2017, the arbitral tribunal issued 
a partial award (the "Initial Award") granting a portion of the relief sought by each of the parties. Specifically, the arbitral 
tribunal's Initial Award held that: (a) Navitrucks failed to pay certain amounts to IIAA for the purchase of vehicles under its 
agreements with IIAA, thereby breaching its contractual obligations; and (b) IIAA breached its contractual obligations under its 
agreements with Navitrucks due to its failure to fulfill its promises to invest in products, infrastructure, and a dealership 
network. Furthermore, the arbitral tribunal held that, due to the mutual breach of the agreements between IIAA and Navitrucks, 
the agreements should be deemed terminated. 

On June 3, 2017, IIAA and Navitrucks filed an application to clarify certain interpretations of the Initial Award and to correct 
clerical errors in the Initial Award. IIAA also requested an award to (a) set the undisputable amount of the Initial Award, and (2) 
order Navitrucks to promptly pay such amount. On June 8, 2017, the arbitral tribunal invited IIAA and Navitrucks to present 
their respective comments on each other’s applications on or before June 27, 2017. On June 3, 2017 and June 27, 2017, IIAA 
and Navitrucks, respectively, filed their comments.  On September 29, 2017, the arbitral tribunal issued a decision on the 
applications filed by both parties in which it rejected all of the requests made in the applications of both parties. On October 31, 
2017, the arbitral tribunal issued a decision relating to the calculation phase in which the actual monetary amount of the 
damages owed by each party to the other will be definitively determined. 

The arbitral tribunal set the timeline for the production of the technical evidence to be used in the calculation phase. 
Specifically, the arbitral tribunal ruled that the parties must (i) designate and identify their experts and the issues which such 
experts will address by December 8, 2017; (ii) present a summary of Navitrucks' debts on December 22, 2017 according to the 
previous calculation and to the award issued on April 20, 2017; and (iii) present their replies to the counterparties petitions on 
January 19, 2018. The calculation phase is estimated to be one year or longer in duration.

Based on our assessment of the facts underlying the claims in the above actions, we are unable to provide meaningful 
quantification of how the final resolution of these claims may impact our future consolidated financial condition, results of 
operations, or cash flows.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

In addition, another truck dealer and two truck fleet owners in Brazil have separate adversarial proceedings pending against 
IIAA that may have similar legal and factual issues as the Navitrucks claim. These other claims are not material either 
individually or in the aggregate.

Other

U.S. Department of Defense Matter

In the third quarter of 2016, ND received a subpoena from the United States Department of Defense Inspector General (the 
"DOD IG"). The subpoena requested documents relating to ND's sale of its independent suspension systems ("ISS") for military 
vehicles to the government for the period from January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2010. On June 3, 2016, ND met with 
government representatives, including representatives from the DOD IG and the United States Department of Justice ("DOJ"), 
to discuss the matter. 

Since then, ND has been in ongoing discussions with the DOD IG and the DOJ. ND made submissions of documents 
responsive to the subpoena in June and August 2016 and has substantially completed its subpoena response. On May 1, 2017, 
ND met with government representatives, including representatives from the DOD IG and the DOJ, to further discuss the 
matter, including assertions that ND may have overcharged the United States for the ISS components. ND agreed to provide 
additional information relating to the pricing of the ISS components. The parties met again on June 13, 2017. In August 2017, 
ND received a letter from the DOJ claiming that ND made false and misleading statements during the course of price 
negotiations and during the Defense Contract Auditing Agency audit which resulted in ND overcharging the United States for 
the ISS components by approximately $88 million and asking for treble damages and penalties for a total demand of 
approximately $264 million. ND has responded to the DOJ’s demand letter explaining its position that it has no liability in this 
matter and outlining the bases for such position, and that ND intends to vigorously defend its position. ND and the DOJ 
communicated between October 5, 2017 and December 8, 2017 to discuss their respective positions on both liability and 
damages. On December 8, 2017, the parties agreed to the possibility of pursuing mediation.

On December 8, 2017, ND received another subpoena from the DOD IG which requested documents relating to ND's pricing of 
the Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (“MRAP”) vehicle and its parts to the government for the period from January 1, 2006 
through December 31, 2013. At this time, we are unable to predict the outcome of this matter, including whether a settlement 
will be reached, or provide meaningful quantification of how the final resolution of this matter may impact our future 
consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

14. Segment Reporting

The following is a description of our four reporting segments:

•  Our Truck segment manufactures and distributes Class 4 through 8 trucks, buses, and military vehicles under the 

International and IC Bus ("IC") brands, and produces engines under our proprietary brand name and parts required to 
support the military truck lines. This segment sells its products in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico markets, as well as 
through our export truck business. In an effort to strengthen and maintain our dealer network, this segment occasionally 
acquires and operates dealer locations for the purpose of transitioning ownership.

•  Our Parts segment provides customers with proprietary products needed to support the International commercial truck, 
IC Bus, proprietary engine lines, and export parts business, as well as our other product lines. Our Parts segment also 
provides a wide selection of other standard truck, trailer, and engine aftermarket parts. Also included in the Parts segment 
are the operating results of BDP, which manages the sourcing, merchandising, and distribution of certain service parts we 
sell to Ford in North America. 

•  Our Global Operations segment primarily consists of Brazil engine operations which produce diesel engines under 

contract manufacturing arrangements, as well as under the MWM brand, for sale to OEMs in South America. In addition, 
our Global Operations segment includes the operating results of our joint venture in China with Anhui Jianghuai 
Automobile Co ("JAC").

•  Our Financial Services segment provides retail, wholesale, and lease financing of products sold by the Truck and Parts 

segments and their dealers within the U.S. and Mexico, as well as financing for wholesale accounts and selected retail 
accounts receivable. This segment also facilitates financing relationships in other countries to support our Manufacturing 
Operations.

Corporate contains those items that are not included in our four segments.

Segment Profit (Loss)

We define segment profit (loss) as net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to NIC, excluding income tax 
benefit (expense). Selected financial information from our Consolidated Statements of Operations and our Consolidated 
Balance Sheets is as follows:

•  The costs of profit sharing and annual incentive compensation for the Manufacturing operations are included in corporate 

expenses. 

• 

Interest expense and interest income for the Manufacturing operations are reported in corporate expenses. 

•  The Financial Services segment finances certain sales to our dealers in North America, which include an interest-free 
period that varies in length that is subsidized by our Truck and Parts segments. Additionally, the Financial Services 
segment reports intersegment revenues from secured loans to the Manufacturing operations. Certain retail sales financed 
by the Financial Services segment, primarily NFC, require the Manufacturing operations, primarily the Truck segment, 
to share a portion of any credit losses.

•  We allocate "access fees" to the Parts segment from the Truck segment for certain engineering and product development 
costs, depreciation expense, and SG&A expenses incurred by the Truck segment based on the relative percentage of 
certain sales, as adjusted for cyclicality. 

•  Other than the items discussed above, the selected financial information presented below is presented in accordance with 

our policies described in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

15. Stockholders' Deficit

Preferred and Preference Stocks 

NIC has authorized 30 million shares of preferred stock, none of which have been issued, with a par value of $1.00 per share. 
NIC has authorized 10 million shares of preference stock with a par value of $1.00 per share. Currently, Series B 
Nonconvertible Junior Preference Stock ("Series B") and Series D Convertible Junior Preference Stock ("Series D") are 
outstanding.

The UAW holds the Series B and is currently entitled to elect one member of our Board of Directors. As of October 31, 2017 
and 2016, there was one share of Series B Preference stock with a par value of $1.00 per share authorized and outstanding. 

At both October 31, 2017 and 2016, there were 70,182 shares of Series D issued and outstanding. These shares were issued 
with a par value of $1.00 per share, an optional redemption price, and a liquidation preference of $25 per share plus accrued 
dividends. The Series D stock may be converted into NIC common stock at the holder's option (subject to adjustment in certain 
circumstances); upon conversion each share of Series D stock is converted to 0.3125 shares of common stock. The Series D 
stock ranks senior to common stock as to dividends and liquidation and receives dividends at a rate of 120% of the cash 
dividends on common stock as declared on an as-converted basis.

On February 28, 2017, we consummated our previously announced strategic alliance with VW T&B, which included an equity 
investment in the Company by VW T&B pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, the License and Supply Framework 
Agreement and the Procurement JV Framework Agreement. Pursuant to the VW T&B Stock Purchase Agreement, on February 
28, 2017 we issued and VW T&B purchased 16.2 million of our shares for an aggregate purchase price of $256 million at 
$15.76 per share (an estimated 19.9% stake (16.6% on a fully-diluted basis) in the Company). 

Additional Paid in Capital

In accounting for the issuance of the 2018 Convertible Notes, a debt component and an equity component were separated 
resulting in the debt component being recorded at its estimated fair value without consideration given to the conversion feature. 
We estimated the fair value of the liability component at $177 million. The resulting equity component of $22 million, net of $1 
million of discount, was recorded in Additional paid in capital and will not be remeasured as long as it continues to meet the 
conditions for equity classification. Issuance costs were also allocated between the debt and equity components resulting in an 
immaterial amount being recorded as a reduction in Additional paid in capital. 

In accounting for the issuance of the 2019 Convertible Notes, the debt component and equity component were separated, 
resulting in the debt component being recorded at its estimated fair value without consideration given to the conversion feature. 
We estimated the fair value of the liability component at $367 million. The resulting equity component of $44 million was 
recorded in Additional paid in capital and will not be remeasured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity 
classification. Issuance costs were also allocated between debt and equity components with $1 million being recorded as a 
reduction in Additional paid in capital.

Dividend Restrictions 

Under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, dividends may only be paid out of surplus or out of net profits for 
the year in which the dividend is declared or the preceding year, and no dividend may be paid on common stock at any time 
during which the capital of outstanding preferred stock or preference stock exceeds our net assets. 

Certain debt instruments, including our Senior Notes indenture, our Loan Agreement with regard to the Tax Exempt Bonds, our 
Amended Term Loan Credit Facility, contain terms that include various financial covenants and restrictions, including, among 
others, certain limitations on dividends. We have not paid dividends on our common stock since 1980.

The conversion rate on our 4.5% Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes due 2018 (the "2018 Convertible Notes") is 17.1233 
shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2018 Convertible Notes, equivalent to an initial conversion price of 
approximately $58.40 per share of common stock. The 2018 Convertible Notes have an anti-dilutive effect when calculating 
diluted earnings per share when our average stock price is less than $58.40. 

The conversion rate on our 4.75% Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes due 2019 (the "2019 Convertible Notes") is 18.4946 
shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2019 Convertible Notes, equivalent to an initial conversion price of 
approximately $54.07 per share of common stock. The 2019 Convertible Notes have an anti-dilutive effect when calculating 
diluted earnings per share when our average stock price is less than $54.07. 

For more information on our 2018 Convertible Notes and 2019 Convertible Notes, see Note 9, Debt.

The computation of diluted earnings per share also excludes outstanding options and other common stock equivalents in periods 
where inclusion of such potential common stock instruments would be anti-dilutive.

For the years ended October 31, 2016 and 2015, no dilutive securities were included in the computation of diluted earnings per 
share because they would have been anti-dilutive due to the net loss attributable to NIC. Additionally, certain securities have 
been excluded from the computation of earnings per share, as our average stock price was less than their respective exercise 
prices. For the years ended October 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, the aggregate shares not included were 13.9 million, 15.0 
million, and 15.7 million, respectively.

In February 2017, we consummated our previously announced strategic alliance with VW T&B, which included an equity 
investment in the Company by VW T&B pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Stock Purchase Agreement"), a License 
and Supply Framework Agreement and a Procurement JV Framework Agreement.

Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, on February 28, 2017 we issued and VW T&B purchased 16.2 million of our 
common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $256 million at $15.76 per share (a 19.9% stake (16.6% on a fully-diluted 
basis)) in the Company, excluding stock issuance costs. 

For the years ended October 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, the aggregate shares not included in the computation of earnings per 
share were primarily comprised of 3.4 million shares related to the 2018 Convertible Notes and 7.6 million shares related to the 
2019 Convertible Notes.

17. Stock-based Compensation Plans 

2013 Performance Incentive Plan

The 2013 Performance Incentive Plan ("2013 PIP") was approved by the Board of Directors on December 11, 2012 and 
subsequently approved by the stockholders on February 19, 2013. The plan was amended on February 11, 2015. The 2013 PIP 
provides for the grant of annual cash incentive awards to all employees (including the Company’s executive officers), and stock 
options, restricted stock or stock unit awards, stock appreciation rights and other stock-based awards to all employees 
(including the Company’s executive officers), any consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries, and all non-employee 
directors serving on the Company’s Board of Directors. The awards granted under the 2013 PIP are established by our Board of 
Directors or a committee thereof at the time of issuance. 

The 2013 PIP replaced on a prospective basis, our 2004 Performance Incentive Plan, and will expire in February 2023. A total 
of 3,665,500 shares of common stock were reserved for awards under the 2013 Plan. The number of shares authorized and 
available for issuance under the 2013 PIP will be increased by shares of stock subject to an option or award under the 2013 PIP, 
or under the Company’s 2004 Performance Incentive Plan, (collectively, the "Existing Plans"), that is canceled, expired, 
forfeited, settled in cash, or otherwise terminated after February 19, 2013 without a delivery of shares to the participant of such 
plan, including shares used to satisfy the exercise price of a stock option or a tax withholding obligation arising in connection 
with an award. As of October 31, 2017, 2,344,455 shares remain available for issuance under the 2013 PIP. Shares issued under 
the Plan may be newly issued shares or reissued Treasury shares.

Other Plans and Grants

The following plans were approved by our Board of Directors but were not approved and were not required to be approved by 
our stockholders: the Executive Stock Ownership Program (the "Ownership Program") and the Non-Employee Directors 
Deferred Fee Plan (the "Deferred Fee Plan"). 

•  Ownership Program—In June 1997, our Board of Directors approved the terms of the Ownership Program, as amended 
from time to time. In general, under the Ownership Program in existence through November 2013, all officers and senior 
managers were required to acquire, by direct purchase or through salary or annual bonus reduction, an ownership interest 
in the Company by acquiring a designated amount of our common stock based on organizational level. Participants were 
required to hold such stock for the entire period in which they are employed by the Company. The Ownership Program 
was amended and restated effective November 1, 2013 on a going forward basis. The new guidelines (i) increase stock 
ownership guideline multiples to six times salary for the President and CEO and up to three times salary for other senior 
executives; (ii) modify retention requirements for Company granted equity until ownership requirements are met; (iii) add 
a holding period for shares acquired through transactions with Company granted equity after the executives satisfy the 
stock ownership requirement; (iv) eliminate the granting of premium shares as an inducement to executives fulfilling 
stock ownership guidelines on an accelerated basis; and (v) eliminate the required time frame to fulfill stock ownership 
guidelines. Under the prior Ownership Program, participants were entitled to defer their cash bonus into deferred share 
units ("DSUs"), which vested immediately. There were 2,365 DSUs outstanding as of October 31, 2017. Premium share 
units ("PSUs") were also eligible to be awarded to participants who complete their ownership requirement on an 
accelerated basis. PSUs vested annually, pro rata over three years. There were 29,712 PSUs outstanding as of October 31, 
2017 under the prior Ownership Program. Each vested DSU and PSU will be settled by delivery of one share of common 
stock within ten days after a participant's termination of employment or at such later date as required by Internal Revenue 
Code Section Rule 409A. PSUs and DSUs awarded between February 19, 2013 and October 31, 2013 were issued under 
the 2013 PIP. 

•  Deferred Fee Plan—Under the Deferred Fee Plan, non-employee directors may elect to defer payment of all or a portion 
of their retainer fees and meeting fees in cash (with interest) or in stock units. Deferrals in the deferred stock account are 
valued as if each deferral was vested in NIC common stock as of the deferral date. As of October 31, 2017, 50,609 
deferred shares were outstanding under the Deferred Fee Plan.  Beginning on September 30, 2013, shares deferred by 
non-employee directors are issued out of the 2013 PIP. The Deferred Fee Plan was amended and restated effective 
February 11, 2015 on a going forward basis.

Stock Options

Stock options represent the right to purchase a specified number of shares of common stock at a specified exercise price. 
Generally, stock options are awarded with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the common stock at grant date. 
The stock options granted prior to December 2009 generally have a ten-year contractual life. Starting with the December 2009 

125

Navistar International Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

stock option grants, we granted awards with a seven-year contractual life. Stock Options are valued using the Black-Scholes 
option pricing model and vest ratably over a three-year period.

The use of the Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires us to make certain estimates and assumptions. The risk-free interest 
rate utilized is the implied yield on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the expected term 
assumption on the grant date, rounded to the nearest half year. A dividend yield assumption of 0% is used for all grants based on 
our history of not paying a dividend to any class of stock and future expectations. Expected volatility is based on a blend of our 
historical stock prices and implied volatilities from traded options in our stock. The weighted average expected life in years for 
all grants as a group is then calculated for each year.

Restricted Stock

Restricted stock represents common stock issued subject to forfeiture or other restrictions that will lapse upon satisfaction of 
specified conditions. Restricted stock is valued based on the fair value of the common stock at grant date and except for the 
restricted stock issued to non-employee directors, vests either ratably over a three-year period or cliff-vest at the end of a three-
year period. Restricted stock issued to non-employee directors represent their first quarterly retainer fees and immediately vest 
at grant date.

compared to $0.1 million and $1.1 million during the years ended October 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Restricted Stock Units

Restricted stock units ("RSUs") represent the right to receive shares of common stock ("share-settled RSUs") or the cash 
("cash-settled RSUs") value of one share of common stock in the future, with the right to future delivery of the shares or cash 
subject to forfeiture or other restrictions that will lapse upon satisfaction of specified conditions. Share and cash-settled RSUs 
are valued based on the fair value of the common stock at grant date and vest either ratably over a three-year period or cliff-vest 
at the end of a three-year period. Cash-settled RSUs are classified as liabilities and are remeasured at each reporting date until 
settlement.

Performance-based Stock Options

Performance-based stock options represent the right to receive shares of common stock in the future, with the right to future 
delivery of the shares subject to forfeiture or other restrictions that will lapse upon satisfaction of a combination of the 
following conditions: service, market and performance conditions. Performance-based stock options have a seven-year 
contractual life. Performance-based stock options subject to service and performance conditions are valued using the Black-
Scholes option pricing model and cliff-vest at the end of a three-year period, if performance measures are met. Performance-
based stock options subject to service and market conditions are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation and cliff-vest at the end 
of a three-year period, if performance measures are met.

stock prices and implied volatilities from traded options in our stock. The weighted average expected life in years for all grants 
as a group is then calculated for each year. 

The following table summarizes the performance-based stock options subject to service and market conditions activity:

Performance-based Stock Units

Performance-based stock units ("PUs") represent the right to receive one share of common stock ("share-settled PUs") or cash 
equal to the value of one share of common stock ("cash-settled PUs") in the future, with the right to future delivery of the 
shares or cash subject to forfeiture or other restrictions that will lapse upon satisfaction of a combination of the following 
conditions: service, market, and performance conditions. Share and cash-settled PUs subject to service and performance 
conditions are valued based on the fair value of the common stock at grant date and vest either at the end of the performance 
period or cliff-vest at the end of a three-year period, if performance measures are met. Cash-settled PUs subject to service and 
market conditions are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation and cliff-vest at the end of a three-year period, if performance 
measures are met. Cash-settled PUs are classified as liabilities and are remeasured at each reporting date until settlement.

Total Share-Based Compensation Expense

Total share-based compensation expense for the years ended October 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015 was $25 million, $15 million 
and $9 million, respectively. As of October 31, 2017, the minimum performance measures for fiscal years 2011 and 2012 cash-
settled PUs with a five-year performance period, fiscal year 2013 performance-based stock options and share-settled PUs, and 
fiscal year 2014 performance-based stock options and cash-settled PUs were not met and no share-based compensation expense 
was recorded. However, fiscal year 2015 performance-based stock options and cash-settled PUs partially met the overall 
performance measures and share-based compensation expense recorded was based on the interpolated calculated future pay out. 
Share-based compensation expense will be adjusted each reporting period based on the available current performance measures 
information for all awards subject to performance conditions. We record share-based compensation expense on a straight-line 
basis over the required service period which is equal to the vesting period, beginning on the grant date. Share-based 
compensation expense is included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of 
Operations. As of October 31, 2017, there was $20 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested 
share-based awards which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately one year.

We received cash of $12 million, zero, and $1 million during the years ended October 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively, 
related to stock options exercised. We used cash of $13 million, $2 million, and $6 million during the years ended October 31, 
2017, 2016, and 2015, respectively, to settle cash-settled RSUs. We did not realize any tax benefit from stock options exercised 
for fiscal years 2017 and 2015. There were no stock options exercised in 2016.

19. Condensed Consolidating Guarantor and Non-guarantor Financial Information

The following tables set forth condensed consolidating balance sheets as of October 31, 2017 and 2016, and condensed 
consolidating statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the years ended October 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, 
and condensed consolidating statements of cash flows for the years ended October 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015.

The information is presented as a result of NI’s guarantee, exclusive of its subsidiaries, of NIC’s indebtedness under our Senior 
Notes. NI is a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of NIC. None of NIC’s other subsidiaries guarantee these notes. The guarantee is 
"full and unconditional," as those terms are used in Regulation S-X Rule 3-10, except that the guarantees will be automatically 
released in certain customary circumstances, such as when the subsidiary is sold or all of the assets of the subsidiary are sold, 
the capital stock is sold, when the subsidiary is designated as an "unrestricted subsidiary" for purposes of the respective 
indentures for the Senior Notes upon liquidation or dissolution of the subsidiary or upon legal or covenant defeasance, or 
satisfaction and discharge of the notes or bonds. Separate financial statements and other disclosures concerning NI have not 
been presented because management believes that such information is not material to investors. Within this disclosure only, 
"NIC" includes the financial results of the parent company only, with all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries accounted for under 
the equity method. Likewise, "NI," for purposes of this disclosure only, includes the consolidated financial results of its wholly-
owned subsidiaries accounted for under the equity method and its operating units accounted for on a consolidated basis. "Non-
Guarantor Subsidiaries" includes the combined financial results of all other non-guarantor subsidiaries. "Eliminations and 
Other" includes all eliminations and reclassifications to reconcile to the consolidated financial statements. NIC files a 
consolidated U.S. federal income tax return that includes NI and its U.S. subsidiaries. NI has a tax allocation agreement ("Tax 
Agreement") with NIC which requires NI to compute its separate federal income tax liability and remit any resulting tax 
liability to NIC. Tax benefits that may arise from net operating losses of NI are not refunded to Navistar, Inc. but may be used 
to offset future required tax payments under the Tax Agreement. The effect of the Tax Agreement is to allow NIC, the parent 
company, rather than NI, to utilize current U.S. taxable losses of NI and all other direct or indirect subsidiaries of NIC.

(A)    Manufacturing gross margin is calculated by subtracting Costs of products sold from Sales of manufactured products, net. 

(B)   Earnings per share in each quarter is computed using the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during that quarter while earnings per share for 
the full year is computed using the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the year. Thus, the sum of the four quarters earnings per share 
may not equal the full year earnings per share.

Item 9. 

Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure 

None.

Item 9A. 

Controls and Procedures 

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are designed to 
ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, 
summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, and that such information is 
accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow 
timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

In connection with the preparation of this report, management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief 
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our 
disclosure controls and procedures as of October 31, 2017. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief 
Financial Officer have concluded that, as of October 31, 2017, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

 (b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no material changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation 
required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended October 31, 2017 that 
have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. 

(c) Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in 
Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, and 
under the supervision of, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and effected by management and our Board 
of Directors to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial 
statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Internal control over financial reporting includes those 
policies and procedures that:

• 

• 

• 

Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and 
dispositions of assets of the Company. 

Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial 
statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made in 
accordance with authorization of our management and our Board of Directors. 

Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of 
our assets that could have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all misstatements. Also, 
projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to 
the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the 
policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the 
effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting as of October 31, 2017 using the criteria set forth by the Internal 
Control Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission 
(COSO). As a result of that evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective 
as of October 31, 2017.

Our independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG LLP, has audited the Company's consolidated financial statements 
and the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of October 31, 2017. Their report appears in 
this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Additional Financial Information (Unaudited) 

The following additional financial information is provided based upon the continuing interest of certain stockholders and 
creditors to assist them in understanding our core Manufacturing operations and our Financial Services operations on an after-
tax equity basis. Our Manufacturing operations, for this purpose, include our Truck segment, Parts segment, Global Operations 
segment, and Corporate items. The Manufacturing operations financial information represents non-GAAP financial measures. 
These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial 
measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The reconciling differences between these non-GAAP financial measures 
and our U.S. GAAP condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 8, Financial Statements, are our Financial Services 
operations, which are included on an after-tax equity basis. Certain of our subsidiaries in our Manufacturing operations have 
debt outstanding with our Financial Services operations (“intercompany debt”). In the condensed statements of assets, 
liabilities, and stockholders' equity (deficit), the intercompany debt is reflected as accounts payable. The change in the 
intercompany debt is reflected in the Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities in the condensed statements of cash 
activity.
