Second Quarter 2015 Results

Net sales for the second quarter of 2015 increased $58.2 million, or 55%, to $164.9 million, compared to $106.7 million for the second quarter of 2014. Acquisitions made subsequent to March 31, 2014 added $64.3 million in revenue. Negative currency impacts reduced reported net sales by $9.3 million versus the second quarter of last year.

Adjusted income from operations for the second quarter of 2015 was $14.3 million, an increase of 51%, compared to $9.5 million for the same period in 2014. Adjusted net income, which excludes the after-tax impact of foreign exchange on inter-company loans and after-tax acquisition and integration expenses, increased to $7.2 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, compared to $6.0 million, or $0.33 per diluted share for the same period in 2014.

On a GAAP basis, income from operations for the second quarter of 2015 was $13.6 million, compared to $8.2 million for the same period in 2014. Net income on a GAAP basis for the second quarter of 2015 was $7.0 million, or $0.36 per diluted share. This compared to $5.2 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2014.

Richard Holder, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Excluding the macro-economic challenges in Brazil our businesses along with our financial results continue to meet our expectations for the year. Our adjusted income from operations continued to improve during the quarter as the remainder of our portfolio continues to grow and hit our operating targets. The acquisitions we’ve made since 2014 remain on or ahead of our stated integration and synergy targets for 2015.”

Business Group Results

Metal Bearing Components

Net sales for the group decreased $3.7 million to $69.3 million during the second quarter of 2015, compared to $73.0 million for second quarter 2014. Negative currency impacts of $9.3 million were partially offset by volume increases of $3.0 million and the contribution of acquisition sales of $2.6 million. Income from operations for the second quarter was $9.4 million, compared to $8.7 million in the second quarter of 2014.

“The Metal Bearing Components Group continued its solid performance in 2015,” said Holder. “Excluding the negative currency impacts the business continues to grow and expand its end markets.”

Autocam Precision Components

Net sales for the second quarter of 2015 were $86.5 million, compared to $25.3 million in the second quarter of 2014, an increase of $61.2 million. Acquisitions accounted for $60.9 million of the increase. Income from operations for the quarter increased $6.8 million to $9.1 million, compared to $2.3 million in the second quarter of 2014.

Holder commented, “The Autocam Precision Components Group performed well despite the conditions in Brazil. As expected, new customer programs continued to ramp in the quarter and began to hit their expected operating targets as the quarter came to a close, while the integration of the Autocam acquisition remains ahead of schedule.”

Plastic and Rubber Components

Net sales for the second quarter increased $0.7 million to $9.1 million, compared to $8.4 million for the same period in 2014. Income from operations for the quarter was $0.5 million, compared to $0.4 million in 2014.

Holder commented, “We continue to transform our plastics business as we focus on growing a diversified business that meets our operating expectations. During the quarter we continued that process with the completion of the Caprock acquisition.”

Holder concluded, “The second quarter was an important quarter in the history of our company. We made our first acquisition in our plastics portfolio and raised $182 million in equity to prepare for future acquisitions and continued growth as we remain focused on executing our strategic plan.”

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP to GAAP Financial Measures

(Unaudited)

The Company’s management evaluates operating performance excluding unusual and/or nonrecurring items. The Company believes excluding such items provides a more effective and comparable measure of performance and a clearer view of underlying trends. Since net income excluding these items is not a measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, this should not be considered as a substitute for other GAAP measures, including net income, as an indicator of performance. Accordingly, net income/loss excluding the above items is reconciled to net income/loss on a GAAP basis.
