The headline driver was a dramatic turnaround in the Vocational segment, where operating income surged 149.8% to $110.90 million as favorable pricing, higher volumes across municipal fire apparatus, airport products, and refuse vehicles lifted margins to 12.6% from just 6.0% a year earlier. The Defense segment, meanwhile, added a new revenue layer as Oshkosh commenced production of Next Generation Delivery Vehicles for the U.S. Postal Service, a program that contributed $35.00 million in the quarter with a full-rate production ramp targeted for 2025. A recent $214.80 million U.S. Army order for tactical vehicles underscores the segment's continued role in military modernization. Looking ahead, management guided fiscal 2025 adjusted EPS to approximately $11.00 on net sales of roughly $10.60 billion, with Access segment softness expected to ease in the second half as infrastructure and data center demand recovers.

Key Takeaways

  • Vocational segment revenue growth of nearly 20% driven by improved pricing and volume
  • Favorable price/cost dynamics across the enterprise
  • AUSA acquisition contributing $32.5 million in Access segment sales
  • NGDV production commencement adding $35 million in Defense delivery vehicle revenue
  • Lower corporate new product development spending

Our impressive fourth quarter performance was driven in particular by revenue growth of nearly 20 percent in our Vocational segment. For the full year, we grew revenue in all three of our segments and delivered solid double-digit operating income and adjusted operating income margins in our Access and Vocational segments.”
