EVANSVILLE, Ind. — Aug. 3, 2010 — Accuride Corporation (OTCBB:  ACUZ), a leading manufacturer and supplier of commercial vehicle components, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2010.

Net sales in the second quarter of 2010 were $195.6 million compared with $135.2 million in the prior year, an increase of 44.7 percent.  The Company reported second quarter net income of $6.5 million in 2010 compared to a net loss of $36.1 million in 2009.  Current period net income included a pre-tax mark-to-market gain of $19.4 million to the Company’s convertible notes.  Adjusted EBITDA in the quarter was $17.2 million versus a loss of $1.6 million in the prior year.  Cash and cash equivalents was $52.3 million at quarter end.  Free cash flow was negative $3.6 million for the quarter.  Free cash flow for the quarter was positive after adjusting for negative $12.6 million related to reorganization items.

Industry Overview

Although still weak compared to average cycle levels, the three major segments Accuride supplies (North America Class 5-8 vehicles, U.S. Trailers, and the related aftermarket channels) have improved year-over-year.  Production across all three major segments increased from the same period in 2009.  Class 8 production rose approximately 38 percent year-over-year, and Class 5-7 and U.S. Trailer rose 25 percent and 50 percent, respectively.

Although some of the strength during the second quarter can be attributed to the 2010 EPA emissions mandate as some OEMs built-out pre-mandate engine inventories, net order activity within each segment continued to improve throughout the second quarter.  OEMs remain optimistic about order activity in the second half of the year and have begun to ramp up production to meet the expected increase in demand.  According to industry forecasts, overall production in the second half of 2010 is expected to increase 13 percent compared to the first six months.

While the overall economy, and in particular the consumer, continued to provide mixed signals on the strength of the recovery, the manufacturing environment and freight continued to show solid gains.

·                  Diesel fuel consumption, measured by the Ceridian-UCLA Pulse of Commerce Index (PCI) increased 8.5 percent year-over-year in June which indicates increasing trucking activity and utilization.

·                  The Institute for Supply Management (ISM) Index continued to expand for the 11th straight month with a reading of 56.2 for June as inventories continue to be restocked.  This increase in inventory has led to incremental freight shipments and better pricing within the freight market.

Fresh-Start Reporting

Upon our emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings on February 26, 2010, we adopted fresh-start accounting in accordance with the provisions of ASC 852 Reorganizations (ASC 852), pursuant to which the midpoint of the range of our reorganization value was allocated to our assets and liabilities in conformity with the procedures specified by ASC 805, “Business Combinations.”

The results for the four-month period ended June 30, 2010 (references to the Company for such period, the “Successor”) and the results for the two-month period ended February 26, 2010 (references to the Company for such periods, the “Predecessor”) are presented separately.  This presentation is required by GAAP, as the Successor is considered to be a new entity for financial reporting purposes, and the results of the Successor reflect the application of fresh-start reporting.  Accordingly, the Company’s financial statements after February 26, 2010, are not comparable to its financial statements for any period prior to its emergence from Chapter 11.  For illustrative purposes in this earnings release, the Company has combined the Successor and Predecessor results to derive combined results for the six-month period ended June 30, 2010.  However, because of various adjustments to the consolidated financial statements in connection with the application of fresh-start reporting, including asset valuation adjustments, liability adjustments and recognition of cancellation of indebtedness income, the results of operations for the Successor are not comparable to those of the Predecessor.  The financial information accompanying this earnings release provides the Successor and Predecessor GAAP results for the applicable periods, along with the combined results described above.

Three Months Operating Results

Net sales for the second quarter of 2010 were $195.6 million compared to net sales of $135.2 million in the second quarter of 2009, an increase of 44.7 percent.  Sales increased in the Wheels and Components segments by 29.2 percent and 47.6 percent, respectively.

In 2010, second quarter gross profit increased to $15.8 million, or 8.1 percent of net sales, from a gross loss of $9.0 million in the second quarter of 2009.  Gross profit improved compared to the prior year due primarily to higher industry demand, restructuring and other operating improvements.

Six Months Operating Results

Combined net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2010, were $364.6 million, which was an increase of 30.8 percent, compared to net sales of $278.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009.  Sales increased in the Wheels and Components segments by 19.0 percent and 36.1 percent, respectively.

In 2010, gross profit for the first half of the year increased to $25.9 million, or 7.1 percent of net sales, from a gross loss of $9.0 million in the first six months of 2009.  Gross profit increased compared to the prior year primarily due to higher industry demand, restructuring and other operating improvements.

Liquidity & Debt

Adjusted EBITDA was $17.2 million for the second quarter of 2010, compared to negative $1.6 million for the same period in 2009.  The purpose and reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA for the Company to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is set forth in the accompanying schedules.

As of June 30, 2010, the Company had cash of $52.3 million and total debt of $630.0 million including a $310.5 million term loan and $140.0 million of convertible notes with a market valuation of $319.5 million.  In the second quarter of 2010, the company had cash outflows from operations of $0.6 million and capital expenses of $3.0 million resulting in negative free cash flow of $3.6 million. Negative cash from operations included $12.6 million related to reorganization items.  Excluding reorganization items, free cash flow from operations was $9.0 million.

Company Outlook

“I’m extremely pleased with our second quarter financial results which not only reflect the uptick in the industry, but also the impact of our cost improvement efforts and, most importantly, of our strong customer relationships,” said Bill Lasky, Accuride’s President, CEO, and Chairman of the Board.  “Throughout this unprecedented industry cycle, we have improved our cost structure, strengthened and secured customer relationships and introduced new products.  In addition, our recently completed refinancing adds additional liquidity and increases our financial flexibility.  We remain cautiously optimistic about the timing of the industry upturn and currently expect 2010 Class 8 production levels to be in the range of 140,000 to 150,000 units and our Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $65 to $75 million.”

(2)          Items related to our credit agreement refer to amounts utilized in the calculation of financial covenants in Accuride’s senior credit facility.  For the three months ended June 30, 2010, items related to our credit agreement consisted of foreign currency income and other net income of $2.1 million.  For the three months ended June 30, 2009, items related to our credit agreement consisted of foreign currency losses and other income or expenses of $1.4 million.

Note:

(1)          For the six months ended June 30, 2010, Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, less $48.7 million in benefits associated with restructuring and reorganization items.  For the six months ended June 30, 2009, Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, plus $10.6 million in costs associated with restructuring and reorganization items.

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
