Oshkosh Corp
Q3 2022 Earnings
Did OSK Beat Earnings? Q3 2022 Results
Oshkosh Corporation delivered a disappointing fiscal third quarter, missing Wall Street expectations on both the top and bottom lines as supply chain disruptions continued to weigh heavily on results. Adjusted EPS came in at $1.00, falling short of the $1.23 consensus estimate by 18.70%, while revenue of $2.07 billion trailed the $2.16 billion expectation by 4.47%, leaving sales nearly flat at just 0.2% growth year-over-year. The single biggest culprit was parts shortages, which the company estimates cost roughly $130 million in revenue versus internal plans, a headwind that hit the Defense segment particularly hard, where a 20.2% revenue decline and a near-total collapse in operating income underscored the fragility of that business under current conditions. Bright spots existed, notably in Access Equipment, where pricing gains helped expand margins sharply, and the company's total backlog swelled to $12.99 billion, pointing to durable future demand. Oshkosh reaffirmed full-year revenue guidance of approximately $8.30 billion and adjusted EPS of approximately $3.50, while trimming its GAAP EPS outlook modestly to approximately $3.15.
- Pricing actions to combat inflation driving strong price realization
- Access Equipment segment 22.7% revenue growth and 700+ bps operating margin improvement
- Supply chain disruptions limiting production rates and causing ~$130 million revenue shortfall
- Unfavorable cumulative catch-up adjustments of $15.4 million in Defense segment
- Foreign currency headwinds reducing sales by $18.3 million
“We are pleased with the strong sequential quarterly earnings growth Oshkosh team members delivered, which demonstrates that our pricing actions to combat inflation are working. Supply chain disruptions remain our most significant challenge and continue to limit our production rates and contribute to manufacturing inefficiencies. Supply chain factors were the primary driver which led to a revenue shortfall of approximately $130 million compared to our expectations for the quarter. Despite the revenue shortfall, our adjusted operating income of $114 million, led by strong price realization, was in line with our expectations.”

Forward Guidance & Outlook
Oshkosh reaffirmed its full-year fiscal 2022 revenue expectation of approximately $8.3 billion and adjusted EPS of approximately $3.50. GAAP EPS guidance was lowered from approximately $3.25 to approximately $3.15 due to Q3 charges related to foreign entity liquidation and intangible asset impairment. The company expects continued supply chain challenges and inflationary pressures but believes strong customer demand and pricing actions will support performance. The follow-on JLTV contract award, potentially worth nearly $10 billion in revenue, is expected in early 2023.
