Accuride Corporation Reports Second Quarter Results for 2011

·	Sales increased 26.9 percent versus prior year quarter

·	Adjusted EBITDA increased 31.3 percent to $22.6 million

·	Market continues upward momentum

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – July 26, 2011 – Accuride Corporation (NYSE: ACW), a leading supplier of components to the commercial vehicle industry, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011.

Net sales in the second quarter of 2011 were $248.2 million, compared with $195.6 million in the prior year, an increase of 26.9 percent. The increase in sales was primarily the result of increased demand from customers in the commercial vehicle industry. The Company reported second quarter net income of $1.3 million in 2011 compared to a net income of $6.5 million in 2010. Prior period net income included a pre-tax mark-to-market gain of $19.4 million to the Company’s previously retired convertible notes. Adjusted EBITDA in the quarter was $22.6 million versus $17.2 million in the prior year. Cash and cash equivalents was $35.1 million at quarter end. Free cash flow was $5.7 million for the quarter.

“The continued recovery in the North American commercial vehicle market, combined with our actions to improve operating performance and recover raw material inflation, enabled us to deliver our third consecutive quarter of revenue growth and a 31.3 percent year-over-year improvement in adjusted EBITDA,” said Accuride President and CEO Rick Dauch. “We are encouraged by the industry’s positive full-year outlook and are committed to making the investments needed to strengthen and selectively grow our business, while providing the capacity to fully support our customers’ increasing needs.”

Industry Overview

As the economy improves, the three major market segments Accuride supplies (North America Class 5-8 vehicles, U.S. Trailers, and the related aftermarket channels) have continued to strengthen year-over-year.

Production across all segments increased during the second quarter. Class 8 vehicle production rose approximately 72 percent year-over-year, while Class 5-7 and U.S. Trailer builds rose 59 percent and 82 percent, respectively.

OEMs continued to increase production in the second quarter in line with increasing net orders within each segment, while carriers continued to replace aged equipment in line with steadily increasing freight volumes. Class 8 net orders for the quarter increased 88 percent year-over-year. April orders were the highest since March 2006. Class 5-7 and trailer net orders also saw healthy improvements with year-over-year increases of 87 percent and 52 percent respectively.

Although order activity is expected to be more subdued as the industry moves through its historically slow ordering season in the next few months, all commercial vehicle segments are expected to continue to increase production in 2011 and into 2012. Several other industry-related indicators continue to show positive growth including:

o	Shipments, as reported in the Cass Freight Index, increased 5.3 percent year-over year;

o	The Institute for Supply Management (ISM) Index continued to expand for the 23rd consecutive month with a reading of 55.3 for June; and

o	Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) continued to grow for the seventh consecutive quarter at 1.5 percent in the first quarter (truck demand is positively correlated to PCE).

As the economy continues to recover and commercial vehicle indicators improve, we expect freight to continue its steady recovery through the remainder of 2011. Equipment demand in 2011 will continue to strengthen and be much improved over 2010. Continued weakness in residential and commercial construction, along with municipal spending cuts will continue to slow the recovery of the Class 5-7 segment, an important segment for Accuride.

Overall, the future of the North American commercial vehicle industry remains bright. Freight tonnage is projected to steadily increase over the next several years, which will continue to drive higher future demand for trucks and trailers. Even if economic growth slows, freight volumes are expected to continue to rise, but at a more conservative pace. The fleet age is at a historically high level; therefore, we expect that even modest freight growth will result in relatively strong replacement demand 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 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. 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.

Net sales for the second quarter of 2010 were $248.2 million compared to net sales of $195.6 million in the second quarter of 2010, an increase of 33.4 percent when adjusted for the prior sales of Bostrom Seating and Brillion Farm businesses. Driven by the increasing industry demand for commercial vehicles, sales in our Wheels and Imperial groups increased by 47 percent and 69 percent respectively. Sales from the Brillion Iron Works increased 56 percent reflecting improved industrial demand for gray and ductile iron castings. Offsetting these increases in part were Gunite sales, which increased year over year by 17 percent reflecting current drum machining capacity constraints and a mix shift toward lower priced OEM sales versus aftermarket, and Fabco where the prior year sales reflected military contracts not repeated in the current period.

Adjusted EBITDA was $22.6 million for the second quarter of 2011, compared to $17.2 million for the same period in 2010. The purpose and reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA for the Company to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is set forth in the accompanying schedules. The incremental adjusted EBITDA to the change in sales for the quarter, or operating leverage, was 10.2 percent reflecting a number of factors. As discussed in the first quarter, increasing raw material cost for steel, aluminum and foundry materials in our Wheels and Gunite operations impact the current quarter negatively but are passed through to our commercial vehicle customers on a lag basis effective July 1st. Essentially all of these material pass-throughs have been finalized and will be reflected in our 2011 second half results.

While significantly improved from the first quarter, Gunite’s operating leverage of 8 percent on the increase in sales reflects continued inefficiencies from capacity constraints in drum machining and the resulting shift in mix toward much lower margin OEM sales at the expense of the aftermarket. In addition to making continued improvements in drum capacity and operating efficiencies, we are also engaged in non-material price increase negotiations with our OEM customers.

Despite the significant increase in sales, Brillion Iron Works continues to struggle converting that increase into profitability. This reflects inefficiencies associated with the steep ramp-up in volume, capacity limitations on some of the more profitable production lines, and raw material cost increases. Selected customer price increases have been negotiated and, similar to Wheels and Gunite, will also be reflected in the second half of 2011.

Imperial Group continues to benefit from the increased volume in commercial vehicles; however the Portland, TN stamping and fabrication facility continues to be underutilized. During the quarter, it was announced that the remaining business in this plant would be transferred to other existing Imperial sites and that the Portland facility would close by December 31st.

Corporate expenses increased by $1.2 million over the prior year period. This increase primarily reflects increased accruals for incentive pay as well as other wage and benefit items.

Combined net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2011, were $467.0 million, which was an increase of 28.1 percent, compared to net sales of $364.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. In 2011, adjusted EBITDA for the first half of the year increased to $39.5 million, or 8.5 percent of net sales, from $30.6 million in the first six months of 2010. The factors affecting full year results are similar to those of the second quarter.

Liquidity & Debt

As of June 30, 2011, the Company had cash of $35.1 million and total debt of $322.6 million consisting of our $310.0 million senior secured notes, net of discount, and a $20.0 million draw on our ABL facility. In the second quarter of 2011, the Company had cash from operations of $14.5 million and capital spending of $8.8 million resulting in free cash flow of $5.7 million. Total liquidity at the end of the quarter was $74.1 million.

As announced previously, during the quarter the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Forgitron Technologies for a cash price of $22 million. This acquisition included an 80,000 square foot forged aluminum wheel manufacturing facility in Camden, South Carolina and is consistent with the Company’s planned capacity expansion of its core Aluminum Wheel product line. Following the acquisition, the Camden facility was closed for 30 days to convert production to Accuride products and processes. This facility is now fully operational and will provide the added capacity and flexibility to supply our customers with the high quality aluminum wheels they have come to expect from Accuride.

Company Outlook

“Despite some recent mixed macroeconomic signals, all indicators for our industry remain solid,” said Rick Dauch, “During the second half of the year, we expect volume to continue to be strong, and we will be receiving the added benefit of raw material cost recoveries through our material pass through mechanisms with our OEM customers. In addition, we expect to see continued improvements in both Gunite and Brillion operations as we continue to execute our plans to fix and grow these businesses.”

Dauch continued, “While Gunite operations continue to stabilize and improve, a permanent solution to the current capacity constraint and cost issues will involve a capital expenditure of approximately $25 million over 2011 and 2012 in new highly automated machining lines. When combined with other strategic capital requirements to increase aluminum wheel capacity in both Camden, South Carolina and Monterrey, Mexico as well as to upgrade and reposition steel wheel capacity and foundry capability, we now expect that our capital expenditures for 2011 will be $67 million versus the $38 million previously disclosed and will be at a similar level in 2012, all funded through cash from operations. We have a solid and actionable plan to fix and grow Accuride. We are confident in our ability to execute this plan quickly in order to leverage the opportunities available to us during the industry’s recovery cycle.”

With the continued strength in the industry, the Company now expects sales to be in a range of $950 million to $1 billion, slightly stronger than the previous guidance of $925 million to $975 million. However, reflecting reduced expectations for Gunite and Brillion from our previous forecast, adjusted EBITDA for 2011 is expected to range from $110 million to $115 million compared to the previous guidance of $110 million to $120 million. Primarily reflecting the additional capital expenditures, free cash flow is now expected to range from a negative $17 million to negative $12 million for the year.

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
