    Tyler DiMatteo's questions to Blue Bird (BLBD) leadership

    Tyler DiMatteo's questions to Blue Bird (BLBD) leadership • Q2 2025

    Question

    Tyler DiMatteo asked how Blue Bird balances its pricing strategy with its bid win rate, particularly given the option to substitute EVs with other alternative-powered buses, and inquired about the cost-sharing dynamics and conversations with the supplier base regarding tariffs.

    Answer

    CEO John Wyskiel and CFO Razvan Radulescu explained that it's too early to see a definitive shift from EV to propane but noted Blue Bird is well-positioned as the sole provider of propane buses. Radulescu added that since competitors are similarly affected by tariffs, there has been no material effect on the company's win rate. Regarding suppliers, he stated that conversations are ongoing and vary by partner, with a focus on mitigating impacts through sourcing alternatives or stair-stepping cost increases.

    Tyler DiMatteo's questions to NKLA leadership

    Tyler DiMatteo's questions to NKLA leadership • Q3 2024

    Question

    Inquired about the operational flexibility and lead times for switching between BEV and FCEV production, and the factors influencing the full-year fuel cell wholesale delivery guidance range.

    Answer

    Executives explained a 3-6 month lead time is needed to restart the BEV production line due to long-lead items. They currently have about 230 BEVs (recalled and inventory) to provide optionality. This flexibility helps manage situations where truck demand gets ahead of fuel availability. The guidance range for FCEV wholesales is wide because it's hard to pinpoint timing with new technology and new national account customers, though the sales funnel is large.
