TROY, Mich. – Meritor, Inc. (NYSE: MTOR) announced its Strategy Day will be held on Dec. 7, 2021. The event will be virtual and webcast from Meritor’s studio at its headquarters in Troy, Mich. Upon conclusion of the program, a live question and answer session will take place.
Meritor last month announced an approximately 25-percent fourth-quarter sales increase from the same period the year before ($945 million, up $187 million). This increase in sales was driven primarily by higher global truck production in all markets.
Net income attributable to Meritor was $62 million, or $0.87 per diluted share, compared to net income attributable to Meritor of $1 million, or $0.01 per diluted share in the same period last year. Net income from continuing operations attributable to the company was $63 million, or $0.88 per diluted share, compared to net income from continuing operations attributable to the company of $1 million, or $0.01 per diluted share in the same period last year. The increase in net income year over year was driven primarily by higher sales volumes and lower tax expense including a net tax benefit from certain tax initiatives, partially offset by higher freight and steel costs.
Adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to the company in the fourth quarter was $57 million, or $0.80 of adjusted diluted earnings per share, compared with $8 million, or $0.11 of adjusted diluted earnings per share in the same period last year.
