EVANSVILLE, Ind. – March 3, 2014 – Accuride Corporation (NYSE: ACW) – a leading supplier of components to the North American commercial vehicle industry – today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2013 ended December 31, 2013.
Fourth Quarter 2013 Results
Fourth quarter 2013 net sales from continuing operations were $144.7 million, compared with $148.6 million in the same period in 2012, a decline of 2.6 percent, primarily reflecting the impact of weaker industry conditions in our Brillion segment, OEM market share changes and continued competitive pressures in our Gunite and Wheels segments during the quarter. The Company experienced an operating loss of $1.7 million for the quarter, as compared to an operating loss of $149.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. The 2012 operating loss included $133.7 million in one-time impairment charges related to goodwill and other assets related to Gunite. The Company reported net income of $1.9 million, or $0.04 per share, during the quarter compared to a net loss of $154.5 million, or $3.26 per share, in 2012. Fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA increased by 55.6 percent year-over-year to $9.8 million, or 6.8 percent of net sales, compared to $6.3 million, or 4.2 percent of net sales, in the same quarter of 2012. As of December 31, 2013, Accuride had $33.4 million of cash plus $30.2 million in availability under its ABL Credit Facility, for total liquidity of $63.6 million.
Fiscal Year 2013 Results
Net sales from continuing operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 were $642.9 million, compared with $794.6 million in the prior year, a decrease of 19.1 percent. The decline in net sales was primarily the result of lower production by commercial vehicle manufacturers, previously announced market share losses at Gunite and weaker industrial end-markets at Brillion. Accuride reported a fully diluted loss per share of $0.56 for the year ended December 31, 2013. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for fiscal-year 2013 was $47.0 million, compared to $65.9 million in the prior year, a 28.7 percent decrease.
Commenting on Accuride’s fourth-quarter results and business conditions, President and CEO Rick Dauch said, “The past year proved challenging for Accuride due to continued weakness in our principal end markets that led to disappointing financial results. We responded by taking the tough, necessary actions to selectively reduce SG&A and overhead costs to be in line with changing market conditions throughout the year. These and other actions to consolidate our operational footprint enabled us to lower the breakeven point of each of our businesses and achieve operating income performance at or near break-even for the year.
“In addition, the completion of our major capital upgrades and adoption of Lean systems across our operations have yielded quality, warranty, delivery and lead-times consistently at or approaching world-class levels. Our financial and operational performance in the fourth quarter directly reflects these actions and indicates the kind of improved results we expect to generate going forward as our end markets continue to recover,” Dauch added.
Industry Conditions
Net orders for the Class 8 and Class 5-7 commercial vehicle segments Accuride supplies improved in the fourth quarter with the arrival of the industry’s traditional peak order season, while trailer production was down 1.8 percent year-over-year. Class 8 and Class 5-7 production was up 4.7 percent and 9.2 percent, respectively, over Q4 2012. Net orders across all segments were strong as profitable fleets continue to replace aging equipment. Class 8 net orders in January 2014 were up 22.8 percent year-over-year, while Class 5-7 and U.S. Trailer were up 8.2 percent and 4.8 percent, respectively. With orders increasing, the industry could see higher build rates during the first half of 2014, particularly within the Class 8 segment. Overall, the future of the commercial vehicle industry remains bright. Fleets are generally optimistic about current conditions within the trucking industry. Freight tonnage is forecasted to steadily grow, which will continue to drive higher demand for trucks and trailers. Demand in Brillion’s core industrial, construction, mining, and oil and gas markets, however, remained low in the fourth quarter and is not expected to recover until 2015-16.
Fourth Quarter Business Segment Results
Accuride Wheels
Accuride Wheels segment net sales were $84.0 million, down $2.2 million, or 2.6 percent, from the same period in 2012, primarily due to OEM market share changes and continued competitive pressure in the segment. Wheels’ Adjusted EBITDA was $14.7 million, a decrease of $1.4 million, or 8.7 percent, from the fourth quarter of 2012. The Company’s advanced coating technology for steel wheels, Steel Armor™, began commercial production in January 2014, the culmination of a $6.5 million investment in new coating capacity at the Henderson and Monterrey wheel plants.
Gunite
Gunite segment net sales were $37.6 million, up $1.1 million, or 3.0 percent, from the fourth quarter of 2012, attributable primarily to stronger aftermarket demand for drums. Gunite’s Adjusted EBITDA was $2.7 million, compared to a negative $4.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. Gunite’s results reflect the operational improvements from capital investments and consolidation of operations. The Company is targeting Gunite to become a 10 to12 percent EBITDA business in 2014.
Brillion Iron Works
Brillion Iron Works’ fourth quarter net sales were $23.1 million, down $2.7 million, or 10.5 percent, from the fourth quarter of 2012. Brillion’s Adjusted EBITDA was a negative $0.5 million, a decrease of $3.7 million, from the fourth quarter of 2012. Brillion’s fourth-quarter results were impacted by lower demand in its core industrial, construction, mining, and oil and gas markets, plus costs related to completing a new five-year collective bargaining agreement for the business. The Company currently doesn’t expect Brillion’s end markets to improve until 2015.
Liquidity and Debt
As of December 31, 2013, total debt was $330.2 million, consisting of $305.2 million of our outstanding 9.5% senior secured notes, net of discount, and a $25.0 million draw on our ABL Credit Facility, which is a reduction of $10 million from the previous quarter. As of December 31, 2013, Accuride had $33.4 million of cash plus $30.2 million in availability under its ABL Credit Facility, for total liquidity of $63.6 million.

Business and Market Outlook
“Since the launch of our ‘Fix & Grow’ strategy 30 months ago, we have invested to create a more strategically focused, competitive Accuride that is capable of delivering consistent operating and financial performance, even at reduced revenue levels,” Accuride President and CEO Rick Dauch said. “At the same time, we have introduced new technologies that offer customers greater value, including the Gunite Silver Lightweight Brake Drum and the revolutionary new Steel Armor™ coating that is now standard on our steel wheels. Market response has been favorable. With the introduction of these new technology advances and our work to ‘Fix’ Accuride into a capable, competitive and profitable company largely behind us, we are energized by our ability to support customers dependably from more capable assets that allow us to compete for business more effectively than ever before. Due to our more focused footprint and reduced cost base, we expect to generate higher levels of profitability as we regain share and leverage the market recovery projected for 2014 and beyond. ”
“With the North American commercial vehicle market showing signs of renewed strength, we expect Class 8 truck builds will be in the range of 260,000 to 275,000 units in 2014. Recent equipment order trends support a healthier backlog-to-build ratio, which should lead to an increase in our OEM customers’ production levels throughout the year. Overall, we expect the North American commercial vehicle market to be up by approximately three to seven percent in 2014, while Brillion’s mining equipment and other core industrial end markets are not projected to recover until 2015. For 2014, we are focused on expanding margins on only moderately higher revenues as we continue to secure profitable new business to fill open capacity, lower our SG&A, reduce capital spending and manage working capital to enhance liquidity,” added Dauch.
2014 Financial Guidance
Accuride’s management expects the Company’s 2014 net sales to be in the range of $650 million to $685 million, and Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $60 million to $70 million. The 2014 guidance is based on North American Class 8 production levels in range of 260,000 to 275,000 units, North American Class 5-7 production levels in the range of 200,000 to 215,000 units and North American Trailer production in the range of 235,000 to 245,000 units. In addition, management expects the net sales for its Brillion business unit to be flat compared to 2013 as its end markets are not expected to recover until 2015-16.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as our net income or loss before income tax expense or benefit, interest expense, net, depreciation and amortization, restructuring, severance, and other charges, impairment, and currency losses, net. Adjusted EBITDA has been included because we believe that it is useful for us and our investors to measure our ability to provide cash flows to meet debt service. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to net income (loss) or other traditional indicators of operating performance and cash flows determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). We present the table of Adjusted EBITDA because covenants in the agreements governing our material indebtedness contain ratios based on this measure on a quarterly basis. While Adjusted EBITDA is used as a measure of liquidity and the ability to meet debt service requirements, it is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to differences in methods of calculations.
