“Superior faced a challenging quarter with industry production levels in both North America and Europe down significantly from the peak levels reached in recent years, which contributed to year-over-year volume declines in our business, impacting our profitability. Despite the volume challenges, we saw a continued shift to larger diameter wheels and premium finishes by our customers, in line with the company’s strategy, which delivered a significant 11.2%(4), year-over-year increase in Value-Added Sales(3) per wheel. This improvement offset a large portion of the volume declines,” commented Majdi Abulaban, Chief Executive Officer of Superior.

Mr. Abulaban continued, “In light of the persistent volume weakness, we are taking action to right size costs, including aligning our production capacity, and managing working capital and capital investments in the current environment. As a result of these actions, we have reduced production schedules in certain facilities and realized an improvement in working capital and cash flow, which supported sizeable debt principal reductions in the second quarter. In fact, these debt reductions are the first proactive payments the company has made against its debt since acquiring the European operations more than two years ago. Looking to the second half of 2019, we are updating our outlook ranges to reflect the persistent challenging macro production environment. However, we are confident that the initiatives we are implementing, including reducing capital expenditures, will further enhance cash generation for continued debt paydown in 2019.”

Second Quarter Results

Wheel unit shipments were 4.9 million for the second quarter of 2019 compared to unit shipments of 5.6 million in the prior year period, a decrease of 11.9%. The decrease occurred in both our North American and European operations and was driven by softer industry production levels, lower production at our key customers, reduced take rates and share in North America, and lower aftermarket volume in Europe, partially offset by increased OEM share in Europe.

Net sales for the second quarter of 2019 were $352.5 million, compared to net sales of $389.0 million for the same period in 2018. The reduction in sales is primarily driven by reduced volumes, lower aluminum prices and a weaker Euro, partially offset by improved product mix comprised of larger diameter wheels and premium finishes in both regions.

Value-Added Sales, a non-GAAP measure as defined and reconciled to net sales below, were $193.6 million for the second quarter of 2019, a 5.3% decrease compared to the prior year period. Value-Added Sales were impacted by lower shipments and a weaker Euro. Partially offsetting this decline was the ongoing benefit from the shift to higher content wheels with premium finishes and larger diameters, which, excluding the impact of foreign exchange, resulted in an increase in Value-Added Sales per wheel of 11.2% year-over-year.

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2019 was $40.0 million compared to $53.6 million in the prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to lower shipments, lower production, higher energy costs, higher outside service provider costs, and the alignment of reporting for selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses between our North American and European operations, which resulted in higher cost of goods sold and lower SG&A expenses by approximately $3.0 million. These items were partially offset by improved mix and procurement savings.

SG&A expenses for the second quarter of 2019 were $16.0 million, or 4.5% of net sales, compared to $22.3 million in the prior year period. The decrease is primarily due to a reduction in acquisition and integration expenses, the previously mentioned alignment of reporting for SG&A, and actions to align costs with current industry production levels.

Income from operations for the second quarter of 2019 was $24.0 million, compared to $31.3 million in the prior year period.

The income tax provision for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 was $7.5 million on pre-tax income of $14.8 million, representing an effective income tax rate of 50.9%. The tax provision amount is primarily due to the effects of U.S. taxation of foreign earnings under Global Intangible Low-Tax Income (“GILTI”) provisions of tax reform, and a forecasted valuation allowance on non-deductible interest, partially offset by a benefit due to the mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions. The income tax provision for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 was $4.8 million on pre-tax income of $12.9 million, representing an effective income tax rate of 37.1%.

Net income for the second quarter of 2019 was $7.3 million, or a loss of $0.04 per diluted share, including non-recurring income of $0.02 per diluted share, compared to $8.1 million, or a loss of $0.02 per diluted share in the prior year period. See attached pages for reconciliation from net income to diluted earnings per share.

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure as defined and reconciled to net income below, was $49.2 million for the second quarter of 2019 compared to $57.2 million in the prior year period. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by the lower gross profit previously described.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $40.9 million for the second quarter of 2019 compared to $16.4 million in the prior year period. The increase was mainly due to improved working capital management during the quarter compared to the prior year period.

Net cash used for investing activities was $7.1 million for the second quarter of 2019 compared to a use of cash of $15.4 million in the prior year period. Cash used for capital expenditures during the second quarter of 2019 totaled $15.3 million, which was partially offset by the sale of other assets for proceeds of $8.2 million.

During the quarter, Superior paid dividends of $6.8 million. Also, during the quarter, Superior repurchased €20.0 million ($22.4 million) face value of its 6% senior notes on the open market for €17.4 million ($19.4 million), resulting in a net gain of $2.4 million, which is included in other income and which has been deducted to arrive at Adjusted EBITDA. The bond repurchases and other debt payments resulted in a $26.1 million reduction in debt principal during the quarter.

Capital Structure and Liquidity

During the quarter Superior increased availability under its European revolving credit facility from €30.0 million to €45.0 million and extended the maturity from July 2020 to May 2022.

Total funded debt and net debt at June 30, 2019 were $657.9 million and $601.0 million, respectively. Cash and available amounts under revolving credit facilities totaled $264.2 million at the end of the quarter.

Year-to-Date Results

Wheel unit shipments were 9.9 million for the first half of 2019 compared to unit shipments of 11.1 million in the prior year period. The decrease occurred in both our North American and European operations and was driven by softer industry production levels, lower production at our key customers, reduced take rates and share in North America, and lower aftermarket volume in Europe, partially offset by increased OEM share in Europe.

Net sales for the first half of 2019 were $710.2 million, compared to net sales of $775.4 million for the same period in 2018. The reduction in sales is primarily driven by reduced volumes, lower aluminum prices and a weaker Euro, partially offset by improved product mix comprised of larger diameter wheels and premium finishes in both regions.

Value-Added Sales, a non-GAAP measure as defined and reconciled to net sales below, were $386.4 million for the first half of 2019. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange, Value-Added Sales per wheel increased by 8.9% year-over-year.

Gross profit for the first half of 2019 was $73.1 million compared to $103.6 million in the prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to lower shipments, lower production, higher energy costs, higher outside service provider costs, and the alignment of reporting for SG&A expenses between our North American and European operations, which resulted in higher cost of goods sold and lower SG&A expenses by approximately $7 million. These items were partially offset by improved mix and procurement savings.

SG&A expenses for the first half of 2019 were $30.4 million, or 4.3% of net sales, compared to $44.6 million in the prior year period. The decrease is primarily due to a reduction in acquisition and integration expenses, the alignment of reporting for SG&A, and actions to align costs with current industry production levels.

Income from operations for the first half of 2019 was $42.7 million, compared to $58.9 million in the prior year period.

The income tax provision for first half of 2019 was $12.5 million on pre-tax income of $21.7 million, representing an effective income tax rate of 57.5%. The tax provision was driven by the previously mentioned impacts to the second quarter. The income tax provision for the first half of 2018 was $8.2 million on pre-tax income of $26.6 million, representing an effective income tax rate of 30.7%.

Net income for the first half of 2019 was $9.2 million, or a loss of $0.27 per diluted share, compared to $18.4 million, or income of $0.05 per diluted share in the prior year period. See attached pages for reconciliation from net income to diluted earnings per share.

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure as defined and reconciled to net income below, was $92.4 million for the first half of 2019 compared to $109.4 million in the prior year period. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by the lower gross profit previously described.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $69.6 million for the first half of 2019 compared to $30.8 million in the prior year period. The increase was mainly due to improved working capital management.

Net cash used for investing activities was $19.0 million for the first half of 2019 including capital expenditures of $28.7 million, partially offset by the previously mentioned asset sale.

During the first half of 2019, Superior paid total dividends of $12.9 million, purchased $1.4 million in shares from minority shareholders of Superior Industries Europe AG, and as described previously, repurchased €20.0 million ($22.4 million) face value of its 6% senior notes and repaid other debt.

2019 Outlook

Superior revises its previously issued full year 2019 outlook as follows:

  • Net sales now expected to be $1.39 billion to $1.44 billion, driven by unit shipments of 19.5 million to 19.9 million, which compares to the previous outlook for net sales of $1.42 billion to $1.47 billion and unit shipments of 19.85 million to 20.30 million
  • Value-Added Sales now expected to be $755 million to $795 million, which compares to the previous outlook of $765 million to $805 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA now expected to be $165 million to $180 million, which compares to the previous outlook of $170 million to $185 million
  • Cash flow from operations is still expected to be $125 million to $145 million
  • Capital expenditures now expected to be approximately $75 million, which compares to the previous outlook of $85 million

Value-Added Sales and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures as defined below. In reliance on the safe harbor provided under section 10(e) or Regulation S-K, Superior has not quantitatively reconciled differences between Adjusted EBITDA presented in the 2019 outlook to net income, the most comparable GAAP measure, as Superior is unable to quantify certain amounts included in net income without unreasonable efforts and due to the inherent uncertainty regarding such variables. Superior also believes that such reconciliation would imply a degree of precision that could potentially be confusing or misleading to investors. However, the magnitude of these amounts may be significant.

(1) Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to Superior, after deducting preferred dividends and accretion and European non-controlling redeemable equity dividends, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. For purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share, the weighted average shares outstanding includes the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and time and performance based restricted stock units under the treasury stock method. The redeemable preferred shares are not included in the diluted earnings per share because the conversion would be anti-dilutive for the periods ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018.

In the second quarter of 2018, the Company misclassified a $2.9 million foreign currency gain associated with the European non-controlling redeemable equity in its financial statements. This gain was also incorrectly included in the determination of 2018 second quarter and year-to-date earnings attributable to Superior common shareholders in calculating earnings per share. The 2018 basic and diluted earnings per share amounts previously reported have been corrected. Management evaluated the materiality of this misstatement from quantitative and qualitative perspectives and concluded it is not material to the prior period.
