Truck components maker Meritor Inc. reaffirmed its earnings guidance for fiscal year 2012, and said its next quarter would improve incrementally from its most recent.

The company said its full-year adjusted operating income will be $105 million to $135 million, with adjusted earnings per share of $1.08 to $1.39.

Second fiscal quarter earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization will improve 1% incrementally from its first quarter, CEO Chip McClure said in a statement.

Meritor reported a loss for its first fiscal quarter ended Dec. 31, even though its commercial truck segment’s sales rose to $751 million, from $575 million a year earlier.
