Fiscal Year Unit Sales up 6%; Record Net Revenue, up 19%
Blue Bird Corporation (NASDAQ:BLBD), the leader in electric and low-emission school buses, announced select preliminary full-year, unaudited results for fiscal 2024.
Select Preliminary Full-Year 2024 Results:
- 9,000 buses sold
- Record net sales revenue of $1.35B
- Record EV sales of 704 buses
Blue Bird sold 9,000 buses in fiscal 2024, up 6% and almost 500 units over prior year, reflecting the top end of guidance. Record sales revenue of $1.35B, was up 19% compared with prior year, and above guidance. Record electric vehicle sales of 704 buses was a significant 29% increase over last year.
Strong new order intake continued, yielding a fiscal year-end total backlog of more than 4,800 units, worth around $735M in revenue, up 10% from last year. EV backlog grew to a record level of nearly 630 buses, worth approximately $200M, driven largely by the ramp in orders from rounds 2 and 3 of the EPA's Clean School Bus program, as expected.
