Navistar Adjusts Previously Reported First Quarter Net Income; Full Year Guidance Remains Unchanged at $4.60 to $5.00 Per Share

WARRENVILLE, Ill.--April 25, 2005--Navistar International Corporation announced today that earnings for the three months ended January 31, 2005, totaled $18 million, equal to $0.24 per diluted common share versus the previously announced $20 million, or $0.27 per diluted common share.

Based upon further review, which was completed as the company was preparing its Form 10-Q, it was determined that the previously discussed one-time charges related to the company's engine foundry operations needed to be adjusted from $8 million to $12 million. The company is filing its Form 10-Q today with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The company said that the adjusted first quarter results do not change its full year per share earnings guidance of at least $4.60 to $5.00 per diluted common share.
