Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On July 27, 2016, Superior Industries International, Inc. (“Superior”) issued a press release announcing the results of operations for the second quarter of 2016 and outlook for 2016 (the “Press Release”). A copy of the Press Release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.

The information contained in Exhibit 99.1 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains statements that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include all statements that do not relate solely to historical or current facts and can generally be identified by the use of future dates or words such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “will,” “expects,” “seeks to,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” “intends,” “predicts,” “projects,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of such terms and other comparable terminology. These statements also include, but are not limited to, the 2016 outlook and projections for reported net sales, value-added sales, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin, income before income taxes, net income, the effective tax rate, capital expenditures and the change in working capital, Superior’s strategic and operational initiatives, product mix, and overall cost improvement, and are based on current expectations, estimates, and projections about Superior’s business based, in part, on assumptions made by management. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements due to numerous factors, risks, and uncertainties discussed in Superior’s Securities and Exchange Commission filings and reports, including the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and other reports from time to time filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. You are cautioned not to unduly rely on such forward looking statements when evaluating the information furnished by this report.
