“Our second quarter financial results reflect solid execution and operational performance, demonstrating that we are on track to achieve our full-year guidance, assuming current full year industry production forecasts are met,” commented John Weinhardt, Chief Executive Officer. “Our sales for the second quarter were adversely affected by a fire at a key metal component supplier that, in turn, caused substantial production disruptions to Ford's light truck production, as well as that of General Motors, FCA, Mercedes and BMW. The affected vehicle assembly plants are now reportedly fully operational, and they are expected to make up the lost volume during the second half of the year. In addition, production schedules have been recalibrated following adjustments made by auto manufacturers to reduce inventory levels in prior quarters, and our new program launches are progressing on budget and according to schedule. We continue to carefully observe the reaction to new tariffs and stand ready to prudently adjust our operations accordingly should there be any fluctuations in consumer demand. We have continued to focus our attention and resources on continual process improvement, the alignment of our production assets with demand and appropriately managing our cost structure. As a result, we are delivering on our commitments to both our customers and our shareholders.”
“The transfer of production from two facilities located in Michigan and Arkansas to other manufacturing locations is complete and the remaining assets are in the process of being sold at a premium to the carrying value on our books,” Weinhardt added. “We plan to use the proceeds from the sale to reduce our debt. The restructuring charges
associated with the plant closings are largely behind us, and we are beginning to realize the cost savings we expected in the second half of the year. Moving forward, our production footprint is appropriately aligned with our booked backlog and the growth we anticipate from potential new business in our pipeline.”
“Despite the reduced revenue in the second quarter due to customer plant closures, we anticipate performing within our guidance for full year 2018 in light of our current customer releases, independent industry forecasts, our solid first half results, and the cadence of new program launches in the second half of the year,” concluded Weinhardt.
Second Quarter Financial Summary
Total revenue for the quarter ended July 1, 2018 increased to $45.7 million, up 2.8%, or $1.2 million from $44.5 million during the same period last year. The increase was primarily driven by increased market penetration, partially offset by a decline in North American auto production of 2.9% quarter over quarter.
Gross profit for the quarter ended July 1, 2018 was $11.2 million, or 24.4% of total revenue, compared to $10.7 million, or 24.0% of total revenues, for the corresponding period last year. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of sales was primarily related to higher sales, the continued shift in our product mix to higher valued products, as well as operational efficiencies.
Restructuring expense for the quarter ended July 1, 2018 of $0.5 million was related to previously announced manufacturing facility closures in Port Huron, Michigan and Fort Smith, Arkansas and compares to $0 in the same period last year.
Net income for the quarter ended July 1, 2018 was $1.8 million, or $0.18 per basic and diluted share, compared to $1.7 million, or $0.17 per basic and diluted share, in the second quarter of 2017. The increase in net income was primarily due to higher sales and the gross profit increases described above, partially offset by the restructuring expenses described above.
Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter ended July 1, 2018 was $5.6 million compared to $5.0 million in the second quarter of 2017. The increase is primarily a result of higher sales and margins described above. Please refer to the financial tables below for a reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP results.
Adjusted diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended July 1, 2018 was $0.23 compared to $0.19 in the second quarter of 2017. Please refer to the financial tables below for a reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP results.

Year to Date Financial Summary
Total revenue for the first six months of 2018 increased to $93.1 million, up 0.7%, or $0.7 million from $92.4 million during the same period last year. The increase was primarily driven by increased market penetration, partially offset by a decline in North American auto production of 2.5% year over year.
Gross profit for the first six months of 2018 was $22.3 million, or 23.9% of total revenue, compared to $21.8 million, or 23.6% of total revenues, for the corresponding period last year. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of sales was primarily related to the higher sales, the continued shift in our product mix to higher valued products, and operational efficiencies.
Restructuring expense for the first six months of 2018 of $1.0 million was related to previously announced manufacturing facility closures in Port Huron, Michigan and Fort Smith, Arkansas and compares to $0 in the same period last year.
Net income for first six months of 2018 was $3.3 million, or $0.33 per basic and diluted share, compared to $3.7 million, or $0.38 per basic and diluted share, in the corresponding period last year. The decrease in net income was primarily due to the restructuring expenses described above, partially offset by the higher sales and gross profit increases described above.
Adjusted EBITDA for the first six months of 2018 was $10.5 million compared to $10.4 million in the same period last year. The increase is primarily a result of higher sales and margins described above. Please refer to the financial tables below for a reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP results.
Adjusted diluted earnings per share for the first six months of 2018 was $0.43 compared to $0.42 in the same period last year. Please refer to the financial tables below for a reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP results.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We present Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share in this press release to provide a supplemental measure of our operating performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense, non-cash stock award, non-recurring integration expense, transaction fees related to our acquisitions, restructuring expenses, and one-time consulting and licensing ERP system implementation costs as we implement a new ERP system at all locations. We calculate Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share based upon earnings before non-cash stock awards, non-recurring expenses, transaction fees, and restructuring expenses, including the tax impact associated with these adjusting items. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share are useful performance measures used by us to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance and earnings on a consistent basis from period-to-period and to provide for a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business than measures under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP) can provide alone. Our board and management also use Adjusted EBITDA as one of the primary methods for planning and forecasting overall expected performance and for evaluating on a quarterly and annual basis actual results against such expectations, and as a performance evaluation metric in determining achievement of certain compensation programs and plans for Company management. In addition, the financial covenants in our senior secured credit facility are based on Adjusted EBITDA, as presented in this press release, subject to dollar limitations on certain adjustments and certain other addbacks permitted by our senior secured credit facility. These non-GAAP financial measures may have limitations as analytical tools, and these measures should not be considered in isolation as a substitute for analysis of Unique Fabricating's results as reported under GAAP.
