Horizon Global Reports Financial Results for Second Quarter 2018; Updates Progress on Action Plan
Horizon Global Corporation (NYSE: HZN), one of the world’s leading manufacturers of branded towing and trailering equipment, today reported second quarter results. The Company also provided an update on its Action Plan, including the completion of the restructuring of its Americas segment, operational improvements at its Kansas City Aftermarket and Retail distribution facility, and business improvement activities in its Europe-Africa segment.
“We remain encouraged that our global team continues to make solid progress on the Action Plan even though consolidated results for the second quarter are not in line with the prior year,” said Carl Bizon, Interim President and Chief Executive Officer of Horizon Global. “Of key importance is the ramp up of our Kansas City distribution center and, as of the end of last week, I am pleased to report that we are currently exceeding our average daily shipment goal, and this facility is now demonstrating its ability to meet the requirements of our business. We closed the quarter with past due orders of approximately $23 million, which significantly impacted our second quarter performance. As we continue to reduce past due orders, we are fortunate that our customers have largely remained resilient and stayed with us during the Kansas City ramp-up process.
“The second quarter and beginning of the current quarter have been marked by a number of key events -- we made key senior management changes, including the naming of new leadership for our Company and its two largest operating segments; we terminated the Brink acquisition; and, just last week, we announced a successful amendment of our term loan agreement, which included securing an incremental $50 million to address short-term liquidity needs. As a Company, we are clearly not standing still and are moving quickly to fix near-term operational issues. We believe we are nearing completion in the Americas, and new leadership in Europe-Africa will be building upon the foundation of that business, while closely assessing the organization and its business processes for operating and financial improvement.
“As we look across our global business, Asia-Pacific is performing well, the Americas is working through a transitional year and we are closely assessing and prioritizing business improvement initiatives in Europe-Africa. I remain confident that the underlying strengths of our Company - great brands, great products, excellent quality, strong customer relationships, experienced and committed team members and solid end markets - will lead us past these near-term challenges and position our Company for long-term success.”
2018 Second Quarter Segment Results
Horizon Americas. Net sales decreased 21.7 percent, primarily driven by capacity constraints during the ramp up of the Kansas City distribution center. The segment exited the quarter with past due orders of approximately $23 million. Operating profit decreased $20.2 million to a loss of $2.6 million, or 2.4 percent of net sales, due to lower sales volumes, unfavorable input costs and severance and restructuring costs associated with facility closures and delayering the organization. Adjusted operating profit(1) decreased $12.1 million to $10.6 million, or 9.8 percent of net sales.
Horizon Europe-Africa. Net sales increased 4.9 percent, but declined 2.2 percent in constant currency(3), as revenue growth in the OE channel was more than offset by a decline in the aftermarket channel due to limited product availability resulting from the production shift to Braşov. Operating profit decreased $59.3 million to a loss of $55.7 million, or 61.3 percent of net sales, attributable to the impairment of goodwill. Adjusted operating profit(1) decreased $2.1 million to $2.6 million, or 2.9 percent of net sales, due primarily to the margin mix impact from the lower-margin OE business and material cost increases in excess of realized price increases.
Horizon Asia-Pacific. Net sales increased 19.1 percent, or 17.5 percent, in constant currency(3), primarily attributable to the Best Bars acquisition completed in the third quarter of 2017. Operating profit increased 8.9 percent to $4.7 million, or 13.6 percent of net sales, driven by higher sales volumes.
Action Plan
Horizon Global announced a business improvement plan on March 1, 2018, with targeted initiatives to drive operating results in its Americas and Europe-Africa segments. The Action Plan is expected to deliver $3.0 million to $5.0 million in consolidated cost savings in 2018, and once implemented, $10.0 million to $12.0 million in consolidated cost savings on a full-year run rate basis. Action Plan updates include:
- Reduced past due orders from a peak of approximately $26 million in mid-July to approximately $17 million as of August 5
- Completed closure of Mosinee, Wisconsin and Solon, Ohio facilities
- Completed 30 percent reduction in Americas’ U.S.-based salaried workforce
- Reynosa targeted production levels achieved
- Europe-Africa’s low-cost-country production increased to 28 percent year to date
Bizon concluded, “Our global team remains focused on achieving our Action Plan. We are pleased to have completed several initiatives specific to the Americas; however, we know there is a good deal of work yet to be done in Europe. The team remains committed to our success, and we are working hard to meet, and ultimately exceed, the expectations of our customers, the end users of our products and our shareholders.”

| (1) | Please refer to “Company and Business Segment Financial Information,” which details certain costs, expenses, other charges, gains or income, collectively described as ‘’Special Items,’’ that are included in the determination of operating profit under GAAP, but that management would not consider important in evaluating the quality of the Company’s operating results as they are not indicative of the Company’s core operating results or may obscure trends useful in evaluating the Company’s continuing activities. Accordingly, the Company presents adjusted operating profit excluding these Special Items to help investors evaluate our operating performance and trends in our business consistent with how management evaluates such performance and trends. Further, the Company presents adjusted operating profit excluding these Special Items to provide investors with a better understanding of the Company’s view of our results as compared to prior periods. | |
| (2) | Appendix I details certain costs, expenses, other charges, gains or income, collectively described as “Special Items,” that are included in the determination of net income under GAAP, but that management would not consider important in evaluating the quality of the Company’s operating results as they are not indicative of the Company’s core operating results or may obscure trends useful in evaluating the Company’s continuing activities. Accordingly, the Company presents adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share excluding these Special Items to help investors evaluate our operating performance and trends in our business consistent with how management evaluates such performance and trends. | |
| (3) | We evaluate growth in our operations on both an as reported basis and a constant currency basis. The constant currency presentation, which is a non-GAAP measure, excludes the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We believe providing constant currency information provides valuable supplemental information regarding our growth, consistent with how we evaluate our performance. Constant currency revenue results are calculated by translating current period revenue in local currency using the prior period’s currency conversion rate. This non-GAAP measure has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Our use of this term may vary from the use of similarly-titled measures by other issuers due to the potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation and differences due to items subject to interpretation. See Appendix II for reconciliation. |

Appendix II
Horizon Global Corporation
Reconciliation of Reported
Revenue Growth
to Constant Currency Basis
(Unaudited)
We evaluate growth in our operations on both an as reported and a constant currency basis. The constant currency presentation, which is a non-GAAP measure, excludes the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We believe providing constant currency information provides valuable supplemental information regarding our growth, consistent with how we evaluate our performance. Constant currency revenue results are calculated by translating current year revenue in local currency using the prior year's currency conversion rate. This non-GAAP measure has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Our use of this term may vary from the use of similarly-titled measures by other issuers due to the potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation and differences due to items subject to interpretation.
