HORIZON GLOBAL REPORTS FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THIRD QUARTER 2019
Sells Asia-Pacific Business Segment; De-levers by Over $180 Million and Bolsters Liquidity

Net sales decreased $16.2 million, or 8.3%, to $177.9 million from prior-year comparable period, primarily attributable to lower net sales in Horizon Americas

Operating loss of $12.8 million, or 7.2% of net sales; improvement of $17.1 million over prior-year comparable period, primarily due to a $26.6 million goodwill impairment charge recorded in third quarter 2018

Net loss from continuing operations of $37.5 million; down $0.4 million from prior-year comparable period

Adjusted EBITDA(2) decreased $12.9 million to $(3.1) million from prior-year comparable period due to lower net sales and reduced gross margin in Horizon Americas

Troy, Michigan, November 12, 2019 — Horizon Global Corporation (NYSE: HZN), one of the world’s leading manufacturers of branded towing and trailering equipment, today reported financial results for the third quarter of 2019.
“I am encouraged by the strength of our brands, the ongoing support of our customers, and the opportunity to return this proud company to the leadership position it deserves,” commented Terry Gohl, newly appointed President and Chief Executive Officer of Horizon Global. “Over the past six weeks, since being tapped to lead Horizon Global, I have toured our primary manufacturing operations in Mexico and Europe. I have met with our teams in each of these geographies and assessed our operating position and associated challenges. Based on this early assessment, we identified actions that we believe will accelerate improvements in quality and time-to-market, and which we expect to result in improved margins and cash flow in the coming quarters.”
Gohl continued, “We faced significant headwinds in our Americas operations during the third quarter, with operational and execution issues negatively impacting our ability to fill orders in the aftermarket, retail and industrial channels, resulting in lost sales, while the impact of tariffs and higher manufacturing costs impacted profitability, all while our Europe-Africa operations reported slightly higher sales and increased margins over the prior-year comparable period, with the increase in margin primarily due to a favorable commercial settlement of a potential product liability claim. There is no doubt that everyone around the globe is disappointed with our results, and there is an equal amount of passion to make certain we improve them.”
Gohl added, “With the sale of our Asia-Pacific business segment (“APAC”) and the resulting debt paydown, covenant relief, additional liquidity and annual debt service savings, we are able to focus our time, attention, energy and newly acquired talent on improving the operating profiles of both our Americas and Europe-Africa operations. Without the tireless efforts of the teams on both sides of the pond, we would not have this unique opportunity. On behalf of Horizon Global’s remaining 4,000 employees, I want to personally thank everyone involved.”

2019 Third Quarter Segment Results
Horizon Americas. Net sales decreased $19.3 million, or 16.7%, to $96.2 million. Net sales in the aftermarket, retail and industrial channels were $18.1 million lower than the prior-year comparable period, while e-commerce net sales were down $1.7 million. These decreases were partially offset by OE net sales, which increased $1.0 million. Gross profit decreased $10.5 million, primarily due to the decrease in net sales and unfavorable material input costs as a result of the impact of tariffs and higher freight costs, unfavorable manufacturing costs and higher scrap costs. Horizon Americas generated an operating loss of $2.2 million, representing a decrease of $9.5 million from the prior-year comparable period. Commensurately, Adjusted EBITDA(2) decreased to $0.6 million for the quarter, as compared to $14.2 million during the prior-year comparable period.
Horizon Europe-Africa. Net sales increased $3.1 million, or 4.0%, to $81.6 million due primarily to increased net sales in the Automotive OEM and OES channels. Europe-Africa net sales continued to be impacted by unfavorable foreign currency translation, while net sales on a constant currency(1) basis increased $7.0 million, or 8.9%. Gross profit increased $4.3 million, primarily due to a favorable expense recovery related to the settlement of a potential product liability claim. Operating profit for the quarter was $1.7 million, which represented a $33.1 million improvement over the prior-year comparable period. Results for the third quarter of 2018 included a goodwill impairment charge of $26.6 million. Adjusted EBITDA(2) was $0.7 million for the quarter, an increase of $0.8 million over the prior-year comparable period.
Discontinued Operations. On September 19, 2019, the Company completed the sale of APAC for $209.6 million in net cash proceeds after payment of debt and transaction costs associated with operations and the transaction. The Company classified APAC assets and liabilities as held-for-sale as of December 31, 2018, and classified APAC’s operating results and the gain on sale as discontinued operations.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity. Gross debt decreased $149.3 million to $239.2 million from the prior-year comparable period. Total liquidity, which includes borrowing availability under the ABL and cash on-hand, was $60.9 million, down $6.8 million as compared to the prior-year comparable period.

Summary
Gohl continued, “While our team has significant work ahead of us, we are confident in our ability to address what we see and whatever else might come forward. In a very short period of time, we have defined key areas where we can accelerate improvement, including those impacting customer service and satisfaction. We see significant opportunities for both revenue growth and cost improvement. We have deployed both internal and external resources to address the most critical and significant items faster and are recognizing targeted early results. The organization is being reshaped to better serve the market. Since joining, I have hired a Chief Operating Officer and a global purchasing lead and will continue hiring top talent throughout the organization at all levels until we are at full strength.”
In closing, Gohl stated, “Our focus and commitment is to provide innovative products with superior engineering to our customers on time, every time. We look forward to regaining our customers’ confidence and are optimistic they will again recognize Horizon Global and our market leading brands as their supplier of choice.”

Forward-Looking Statements
This release contains “forward-looking statements” as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements contained herein speak only as of the date they are made and give our current expectations or forecasts of future events. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking words, such as “may,” “could,” “should,” “estimate,” “project,” “forecast,” “intend,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “target,” “plan” or other comparable words, or by discussions of strategy that may involve risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results including, but not limited to, risks and uncertainties with respect to: the Company’s leverage; liabilities and restrictions imposed by the Company’s debt instruments; market demand; competitive factors; supply constraints; material and energy costs; technology factors; litigation; government and regulatory actions including the impact of any tariffs, quotas or surcharges; the Company’s accounting policies; future trends; general economic and currency conditions; various conditions specific to the Company’s business and industry; the success of the Company’s action plan, including the actual amount of savings and timing thereof; the success of our business improvement initiatives in Europe-Africa, including the amount of savings and timing thereof; the Company’s exposure to product liability claims from customers and end users, and the costs associated therewith; the Company’s ability to meet its covenants in the agreements governing its debt; the Company’s ability to maintain compliance with the New York Stock Exchange’s continued listing standards; and other risks that are discussed in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K.

(1)
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.
(2)
Please refer to “Company and Business Segment Financial Information” which details certain costs, expense, other charges, that are included in the determination of net income attributable to Horizon Global under GAAP, but that management would not consider important in evaluating the quality of the Company’s operating results. The Company’s management utilizes Adjusted EBITDA as the key measure of company and segment performance and for planning and forecasting purposes, as management believes this measure is most reflective of the operational profitability or loss of the Company and its operating segments and provides management and investors with information to evaluate the operating performance of its business and is representative of its performance used to measure certain of its financial covenants. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income attributable to Horizon Global, which is the most directly comparable financial measure to Adjusted EBITDA that is prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Appendix I

Horizon Global Corporation
Company and Business Segment Financial Information
(Unaudited - dollars in thousands)

The Company’s management utilizes Adjusted EBITDA as the key measure of company and segment performance and for planning and forecasting purposes, as management believes this measure is most reflective of the operational profitability or loss of the Company and its operating segments and provides management and investors with information to evaluate the operating performance of its business and is representative of its performance used to measure certain of its financial covenants. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income attributable to Horizon Global, which is the most directly comparable financial measure to Adjusted EBITDA that is prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA, as determined and measured by Horizon Global, should also not be compared to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The Company also uses operating income (loss) to measure stand-alone segment performance.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income attributable to Horizon Global before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and before certain items, as applicable such as severance, restructuring, relocation and related business disruption costs, impairment of goodwill and other intangibles, non-cash stock compensation, certain product liability recall and litigation claims, acquisition and integration costs, gains (losses) on business divestitures and other assets, board transition support and non-cash unrealized remeasurement costs.

The following table summarizes Adjusted EBITDA for our operating segments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 (“3Q19”) and 2018 (“3Q18”):

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.
