Superior Industries Reports Financial Results
For 2012 Third Quarter
VAN NUYS, CALIFORNIA - November 1, 2012 -- Superior Industries International, Inc. (NYSE:SUP) today reported net income of $15.1 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2012. This compares with net income of $4.2 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2011. The increase in net income for the 2012 third quarter primarily reflected tax benefits.
For the 2012 third quarter, consolidated net sales decreased 6 percent to $193.9 million from $207.1 million in the comparable period a year ago. Unit shipments increased 2 percent to 2.95 million from 2.90 million in last year's third quarter. Gross profit was $15.0 million, or 8 percent of net sales, compared with $12.6 million, or 6 percent of net sales, for the 2011 third quarter. The gross profit increase reflected a $3.5 million non-cash benefit resulting from resolution of a foreign consumption tax issue.
The average unit selling price decreased 8 percent in the third quarter of 2012 compared to the prior year, primarily due to a decline in average aluminum price, which is generally passed through to customers.
“While unit volume was up slightly year-over-year, as expected, we experienced some decline from the second quarter. This allowed us to perform much needed maintenance at most of our plants. I remain very pleased with the performance of our plants in Mexico; addressing the challenges we face with our U.S. manufacturing facilities will take some time,” said Steven J. Borick, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President. “While our total capital spending for the year is only modestly higher than in 2011, we have recently begun accelerating the pace of investment to improve our U.S. plants, which remain critical to meeting the needs of our customers.”
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the 2012 third quarter were $6.0 million, or 3 percent of net sales, compared with $6.6 million, or 3 percent of net sales, for the third quarter of 2011.
Consolidated income from operations increased $3.1 million in the 2012 third quarter to $9.1 million, or 5 percent of net sales, from $6.0 million, or 3 percent of net sales, in the comparable period last year.
The company recorded an income tax benefit of $5.2 million compared to an income tax provision of $900,000, or 17 percent of pretax income, for the same period in 2011. The current year benefit reflects the reversal of a liability for uncertain tax positions due to the settlement of a 2004 Mexican income tax audit.
At September 30, 2012, working capital was $346.0 million, including cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $219.9 million. At December 31, 2011, working capital was $335.7 million, including cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $192.9 million. Superior has no bank or other interest bearing debt.
Year-to-Date Results
Consolidated net sales for the first nine months of 2012 increased 1 percent to $611.4 million from $605.3 million for the comparable period a year ago. Unit shipments increased 9 percent. The average selling price of wheels for the 2012 year-to-date period decreased approximately 7 percent, primarily due to a lower pass-through price of aluminum, as well as the effect of a weaker Mexican peso.
Consolidated gross profit for the first nine months of 2012 decreased to $47.8 million, or 8 percent of net sales, from $49.0 million, or 8 percent of net sales, for the comparable period a year ago. Although unit shipments in the first three quarters of 2012 increased 9 percent compared with the first three quarters last year, higher manufacturing costs, especially in the U.S. plants combined with unfavorable changes in product mix and foreign exchange rates, have resulted in lower gross margins for the first three quarters of 2012 compared with the 2011 period. Current year gross profit includes the $3.5 million benefit from resolution of a foreign consumption tax issue as noted previously.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $20.3 million, or 3 percent of net sales, for the first nine months of 2012, compared with $19.7 million, or 3 percent of net sales, for the corresponding period in 2011.
Consolidated income from operations amounted to $27.5 million, or 4 percent of net sales, compared with $29.0 million, or 5 percent of net sales, for the same period of 2011.
The year-to-date 2012 income tax provision was $1.0 million, compared with $3.0 million for the same period of 2011. The lower income tax rate in the current year largely reflects the reversal of a liability due to the settlement of a 2004 Mexican income tax audit, as noted above.
