Jason Industries Reports Sales and Earnings for its Fiscal Third Quarter for 2014
Reiterates Outlook for Fiscal 2014 Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA

MILWAUKEE, November 6, 2014 -- Jason Industries, Inc. (JASN) (JASNW) (the "Company" or "Jason" or "we" or "our"), parent company to a global family of manufacturing leaders in the seating, finishing, components and automotive acoustics markets, today reported the following financial results for its third quarter ended September 26, 2014.

Third Quarter Highlights:

Total net sales of $161.2 million, representing a year-over-year increase of 0.8% compared to the prior year period
Acoustics segment net sales grew 10.8% compared to the prior year period
Finishing segment net sales grew 2.3% compared to the prior year period
Components segment smart meter volumes declined, resulting in lower segment sales
Adjusted EBITDA of $13.1 million, declined $5.2 million as compared to third quarter of 2013 as a result of Battle Creek startup operating inefficiencies
Finishing segment Adjusted EBITDA grew 23.8% and Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales grew to 12.6% compared to 10.4% in the third quarter of 2013
Awarded new underbody platforms in Acoustics segment
Reiterated full year net sales and Adjusted EBITDA outlook of $690 - $705 million and $76 - $80 million, respectively

Commenting on the results, David Westgate, Jason’s Chief Executive Officer said, “Consolidated revenues for 2014 remain on track with our expectations supported by strong growth of North American automotive industry vehicle production and sales growth in our Finishing segment. However, our decision to accelerate the closure of our Norwalk, Ohio Acoustics facility resulted in increased costs in the third quarter, which had a significant negative impact on our Adjusted EBITDA. We expect that the transition of production from the Norwalk, Ohio plant into existing and new facilities will be completed in the fourth quarter of 2014 and anticipate improving Adjusted EBITDA margins in our Acoustics segment, with a return to historical averages in the first quarter of 2015."

Westgate continued, “Our Components segment faced a challenging operating environment in the third quarter that was negatively impacted by higher steel prices and delayed customer pricing recovery, as well as declines in volumes of smart utility meters as forecasted. Despite the adverse conditions, we remain focused on the continued execution of our core strategies, which are designed to grow our business profitably and drive Jason towards our plan of becoming a company with $1 billion in revenues and 15% Adjusted EBITDA margins."

Fiscal 2014 Third Quarter Financial Results:

Jason's fiscal third quarter is comprised of the period June 28, 2014 through September 26, 2014. On June 30, 2014, the Company completed its previously announced acquisition of Jason Partners Holdings Inc. (the "Predecessor") (the "Business Combination"), at which point Jason, the Successor, became a new entity for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements of the Successor on or after June 30, 2014 are not comparable to the consolidated financial statements of the Predecessor prior to that date. However, for the readers' convenience the Company has combined net sales and Adjusted EBITDA in the period June 30, 2014 through September 26, 2014 with Jason’s predecessor net sales and Adjusted EBITDA in the periods June 28, 2014 through June 29, 2014 and January 1, 2014 through June 29, 2014. Net sales and Adjusted EBITDA were not significantly affected by acquisition accounting.

Net sales were $161.2 million for the third quarter of 2014, an increase of $1.3 million, or 0.8%, compared to $159.9 million for the same period of 2013, reflecting increased net sales in the Acoustics and Finishing segments offset by decreased net sales in the Components and Seating segments.

During the period June 30, 2014 through September 26, 2014 the Company reported a net loss of $9.8 million compared to net income of $13.9 million for third quarter of 2013. Net income during the third quarter of 2014 was impacted by incremental after-tax non-cash depreciation, amortization, and inventory costs of $0.6 million, $1.6 million, and $3.6 million, respectively, resulting from fair value write-ups of assets in accounting for the acquisition of Jason. Share-based compensation expense of $1.3 million related to new equity awards granted during the quarter and $0.9 million of transaction-related costs associated with the completion of the Business Combination, net of tax, negatively impacted net income compared to the third quarter of 2013.

Adjusted EBITDA was $13.1 million, a decrease of $5.2 million compared to $18.3 million in the prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to incremental labor and overhead costs related to inefficiencies associated with the acceleration of the planned closure of an Acoustics segment manufacturing facility and decreases in volumes of smart utility meters and higher steel costs in the Components segment, partially offset by improvements in pricing and increased volumes in the Finishing segment.

At the end of the third quarter, cash and cash equivalents were $77.4 million, with $43.8 million of availability on revolving credit facilities. Net debt to EBITDA on a trailing twelve month basis was 4.57x as of the end of the third quarter. The Company's effective tax rate in the quarter was 37.9%, and is consistent with the expected tax rate for the successor period in 2014.






Segment Results:

Seating
Net sales of $32.4 million in the third quarter were 3.3% lower compared to the same period in 2013, principally driven by decreases in volumes in turf care and power sports products, partially offset by stronger sales in the construction and agriculture markets. Adjusted EBITDA decreased $0.8 million to $3.6 million from $4.4 million during the same period in 2013. The reduction was primarily due to the impact of lower net sales on a consistent base of fixed costs, partially offset by lower material costs.

Finishing
Net sales of $45.2 million in the Finishing segment in the third quarter increased 2.3% compared to the same period in 2013. On a constant currency basis, Finishing segment revenues increased by $0.9 million due to improved pricing and increased volumes. Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales increased to 12.6% on Adjusted EBITDA of $5.7 million compared to 10.4% in the same period in 2013, driven by structural improvements in pricing and direct labor productivity, as well as increased volumes and favorable mix of products sold during the third quarter.

Acoustics
Acoustics segment net sales in the third quarter were $54.0 million, an increase of 10.8%, compared to the same period in 2013. The increase was driven by an increase of approximately 8% in North American automotive industry vehicle production levels during the third quarter of 2014 as compared to the third quarter of 2013, as well as revenue on new platforms launched in the second half of 2013 impacting the three months ended September 26, 2014. During the third quarter, the Acoustics segment was awarded two new platforms for fiber underbody panels, representing wins in a significant new market opportunity which are expected to add approximately $2.3 million in net sales annually beginning in the first quarter of 2015 and approximately $16.0 million in net sales annually beginning in the first quarter of 2016.
Adjusted EBITDA was $4.3 million in the third quarter of 2014 compared to $5.8 million in the prior year period. The decrease was caused primarily by incremental labor and overhead costs related to inefficiencies associated with the acceleration of the planned closure of the Acoustics segment manufacturing facility in Norwalk, Ohio and the continuing increase in capacity at the manufacturing facility in Battle Creek, Michigan. These operational inefficiencies negatively impacted Adjusted EBITDA by $2.1 million and $6.5 million for the third quarter and year-to-date periods in 2014, respectively. Customers were not impacted by the Battle Creek production inefficiencies during the quarter. The transition of production from the Norwalk, Ohio plant into existing and new facilities and the inefficiencies of the Battle Creek startup are expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2014. Acoustics segment operating results are expected to return to historical averages in the first quarter of 2015.

Components
Net sales in the Components segment for the combined three months ended September 26, 2014 were $29.6 million, compared to $33.5 million for the three months ended September 27, 2013. The decrease in net sales is the result of a decline in volumes of smart utility meter components, as a significant customer continues to in-source component production in line with the Company's forecast. Sales volumes of rail car metal walkways and perforated metal products grew during the quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased to $1.0 million for the third quarter of 2014 compared to $6.7 million in the prior year period, and was impacted by lower net sales, increased steel costs with delays in pricing increases to customers, and higher labor and overhead costs associated with planned capacity expansion. Selling and administrative costs were higher in the quarter as Jason continues to invest in attractive new market opportunities.

Business Outlook:

David Westgate commented, “Although our first quarter as a newly public company had some challenges, we are confident in our plan forward. We are resolved to fix our operational challenges at Battle Creek and bring the new facility in Warrensburg, Missouri online in the fourth quarter on schedule. We remain excited about our opportunities and are committed to utilizing the Jason Business System to drive revenue growth and margin expansion, and to identify attractive acquisition opportunities. We are confident in our ability to execute, which is why we are reiterating our full year fiscal 2014 outlook of net sales in the range of $690 - $705 million and Adjusted EBITDA in a range of $76 - $80 million.”

Non-GAAP and Other Company Information

Included in this press release are certain non-GAAP financial measures designed to complement the financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America because management believes such measures are useful to investors. Because the Company’s calculations of these measures may differ from similar measures used by other companies, you should be careful when comparing the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures to those of other companies.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA - The Company defines EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation and amortization and (gain)/loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA, excluding the impact of operational restructuring charges and non-cash or non-operational losses or gains, including long-lived asset impairment charges, integration and other operational restructuring charges, transactional legal fees, other professional fees and special employee bonuses, Newcomerstown fire losses and gains, multiemployer pension plan withdrawal expense (gain), purchase accounting adjustments and sponsor fees and expenses.
Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides a clear picture of the Company’s operating results by eliminating expenses and income that are not reflective of the underlying business performance. The Company uses this metric to facilitate a comparison of operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period and to analyze the factors and trends affecting its segments. The Company’s internal plans, budgets and forecasts use Adjusted EBITDA as a key metric and the Company uses this measure to evaluate its operating performance and segment operating performance and to determine the level of incentive compensation paid to its employees.
