The total value of the Navistar Defense Transaction was approximately $140million, after adjusting for certain current year chargeouts and subject to adjustments for working capital, transfers of certain liabilities and commitments, and other items. In connection with the closing of the Navistar Defense Transaction, Navistar, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, also entered into an exclusive long-term agreement to supply commercial parts and chassis to Navistar Defense.

The Company has updated its 2019 financial guidance to give effect to the Navistar Defense Transaction.

Earnings (loss) Before Interest, Income Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (“EBITDA”) and Adjusted EBITDA

Management uses this information to assess and measure the performance of our operating segments. We have chosen to provide this supplemental information to investors, analysts and other interested parties to enable them to perform additional analyses of operating results, to illustrate the results of operations giving effect to the non-GAAP adjustments, andto provide an additional measure of performance.
