Accuride Corporation Reports Third Quarter Results for 2010

·        Sales increase 42 percent versus prior year quarter

·        Adjusted EBITDA increases $9.3 million versus prior year quarter

·        Generated free cash flow of $3.2 million

EVANSVILLE, Ind. — Nov. 4, 2010 — Accuride Corporation (OTCBB:  ACUZ), a leading manufacturer and supplier of commercial vehicle components, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2010.

Net sales in the third quarter of 2010 were $205.7 million compared with $145.2 million in the prior year, an increase of 41.7 percent.  The Company reported third quarter net income of $30.9 million in 2010 compared to a net loss of $33.3 million in 2009.  Current period net income included a pre-tax mark-to-market gain of $36.8 million to the Company’s convertible notes.  Adjusted EBITDA in the quarter was $20.5 million compared to $11.2 million in the prior year.  Cash and cash equivalents was $51.4 million at quarter end.  Free cash flow was $3.2 million for the quarter.

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 continued to improve year-over-year.  Class 8 production rose approximately 35 percent year-over-year whereas Class 5-7 and U.S. Trailer rose 31 percent and 70 percent, respectively.

OEMs ramped up production in the third quarter in line with increasing net orders within each segment.  The continued growth in manufacturing activity has caused capacity to tighten within the trucking industry, which is leading to higher freight rates.  As freight rates increase, fleets are beginning to regain their financial health, which allows them to begin replacing older equipment.  As a result, backlogs continue to increase and stabilize.  OEMs remain optimistic about order activity as peak ordering season arrives in the fourth quarter.

Although gains have been modest, the economy continues to show improvement.  Key trucking indicators that continue to show positive growth include:

·                  Diesel fuel consumption, measured by the Ceridian-UCLA Pulse of Commerce Index (PCI) increased 6 percent year-over-year in September which indicates increasing trucking activity and utilization.

·                  The Institute for Supply Management (ISM) Index continued to expand for the 15th consecutive month with a reading of 56.9 for October.

While the economy is beginning to recover and commercial vehicle indicators continue to be positive, industry experts differ on their outlook for next year. Current 2011 forecasts for Class 8 vary widely and Class 5-7, which is heavily influenced by residential construction, is expected to remain depressed.  The conservative end of these forecasts are lower than they were at the beginning of this year, especially in Class 5-7, but still represent a significant improvement over the current 2010 projections.

Overall, however, the future of the commercial vehicle industry remains bright.  Freight tonnage is forecasted to steadily increase throughout the next several years, which will continue to translate into increased demand for trucks and trailers going forward.

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 seven-month period ended September 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 nine-month period ended September 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 third quarter of 2010 were $205.7 million compared to net sales of $145.2 million in the third quarter of 2009, an increase of 41.7 percent.  Sales increased in the Wheels and Components segments by 23.5 percent and 42.4 percent, respectively.

In 2010, third quarter gross profit increased to $21.3 million, or 10.4 percent of net sales, from a gross profit of $1.9 million in the third quarter of 2009.  Gross profit improved compared to the prior year due to the contribution from increased net sales, better capacity utilization with higher sales volumes and improvements in operating efficiencies.

Nine Months Operating Results

Combined net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, were $570.3 million, which was an increase of 34.5 percent, compared to net sales of $424.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  Sales increased in the Wheels and Components segments by 20.6 percent and 38.2 percent, respectively.

Gross profit increased $54.3 million to $47.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, due to the contribution from increased net sales, better capacity utilization with higher sales volumes and improvements in operating efficiencies.

Company Outlook

“I am extremely pleased with our third quarter results.  Despite the challenges of a depressed economy and industry, we continue to make progress on our goals and objectives at Accuride,” said Bill Lasky, the Company’s President, CEO, and Chairman of the Board.  “Costs have been removed, facilities and processes have been streamlined, customer relationships are strong, and we are now a financially healthy company — one that is positioned for the upturn in the North American industry and one well positioned to capture a greater percentage of the global market. We continue to be cautiously optimistic about the timing of the industry upturn.  We expect 2010 Class 8 production levels to be in the range of 140,000 to 145,000 units and our Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $65 to $70 million.”

Note:

(1)          For the three months ended September 30, 2010, Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, plus $1.1 million in costs associated with restructuring and reorganization items.  For the three months ended September 30, 2009, Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, plus $17.9 million in costs associated with restructuring and reorganization items.

(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 September 30, 2010, items related to our credit agreement consisted of foreign currency income and other net income of $38.8 million.  For the three months ended September 30, 2009, items related to our credit agreement consisted of foreign currency losses and other income or expenses of $3.0 million.

Note:

(1)          For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, less $47.6 million in benefits associated with restructuring and reorganization items.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, plus $28.5 million in costs associated with restructuring and reorganization items.

(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 nine months ended September 30, 2010, items related to our credit agreement consisted of foreign currency income and other net income of $9.8 million.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, items related to our credit agreement consisted of foreign currency losses and other income or expenses of $5.1 million.

-more-

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.
