Release: Navistar, UAW Reach Tentative Agreement

WARRENVILLE, Ill., Oct. 25, 2002; International Truck and Engine Corporation and the leadership of the United Auto Workers union have reached tentative agreement on a new five year labor agreement, it was announced today.

The agreement is subject to ratification by the UAW membership, which will take place on Sunday, October 27. No details will be announced pending ratification.

International Truck and Engine is the operating company of Navistar International Corporation . Negotiation towards new labor agreements began in late July in Louisville, Ky. The contract expired on October 1 and was extended on a day-to-day basis until October 22.

Robert C. Lannert, vice chairman and chief financial officer said that production slowdowns in both engine and truck and the inefficiencies due to building medium trucks at both Escobedo and Springfield during the protracted negotiations and the continued weakness of the Brazilian exchange rate will result in the company revising its fiscal 2002 fourth quarter earnings guidance to a loss of ($1.05) to ($1.10) per share from continuing operations.

The UAW represents approximately 7,100 employees in manufacturing plants in Indianapolis, Ind., Melrose Park, Ill. and Springfield, Ohio; parts distribution centers in Atlanta, Baltimore and Dallas and at the truck technical center in Fort Wayne, Ind.
