Remy International, Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2015 Results


PENDLETON, Ind., Aug. 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Remy International, Inc. (NASDAQ: REMY), a leading worldwide manufacturer, remanufacturer, and distributor of starter motors and alternators, multi-line products and hybrid electric motors, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2015.

Jay Pittas, Remy International, Inc. President and CEO commented, "We performed as expected in the second quarter.  As we had previously stated, the first half of 2015 presented challenging comparisons to 2014, primarily due to the loss of a major retail customer in the automotive aftermarket.  We continue to expect improved performance going forward."

Second Quarter Highlights

  • Net sales of $272.0 million for the second quarter of 2015 compared to $302.9 million for the second quarter of 2014. The decrease in net sales was driven by decreased volume and mix of $28.4 million, a negative pricing impact of $2.9 million, and unfavorable foreign currency translation of $9.2 million. The net sales decrease was partially offset by $9.7 million in second quarter sales of Maval, which we acquired in March 2015.
  • Reported a quarterly net loss of $1.0 million in the second quarter of 2015, compared to prior year, due to lower volume/mix, currency translation, restructuring costs and $1.2 million expense for professional fees related to the Maval acquisition and the pending BorgWarner transaction.
  • Made significant progress in our ongoing effort to reduce overhead cost structure with $5.0 million lower selling, general and administrative expenses, compared to prior year.
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $25.5 million for the second quarter of 2015 compared to $36.7 million for the second quarter of 2014. The decrease of $11.2 million in Adjusted EBITDA is primarily driven by an $8.5 million decrease in volume and mix of products and $1.2 million of negative foreign currency impact in second quarter of 2015 compared to the second quarter of 2014.
  • Generated $16.1 million cash from operations during the second quarter of 2015, an increase of $10.6 million over the second quarter of 2014.
  • During the second quarter of 2015, we returned $13.4 million to stockholders through the share repurchase program and dividends.
  • On July 12, 2015, we entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by BorgWarner Inc. The Merger Agreement provides that at the effective time of the merger, if it occurs, each of the outstanding shares of Remy common stock (other than certain shares owned by BorgWarner, Remy and their respective subsidiaries, and shares that are owned by Remy stockholders who have perfected and not withdrawn a demand for appraisal rights pursuant to Delaware law) will be cancelled and converted into $29.50 in cash, without interest. The completion of the transaction is subject to the approval of our stockholders as well as certain customary terms and conditions, including antitrust and other regulatory clearances in the U.S. and abroad. Assuming timely satisfaction of the closing conditions, the transaction is expected to close during the fourth quarter of 2015.
  • On July 30, 2015, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.11 per share payable on August 28, 2015 to stockholders of record as of August 14, 2015.

Conference Call Cancellation and Guidance Withdrawal

As previously announced, Remy has signed a definitive agreement to be acquired by BorgWarner.  In light of the pending transaction, the Company will not hold a conference call on Tuesday, August 4, 2015, at 9:00 am Eastern to discuss its second quarter results as previously announced in a press release dated June 30, 2015. Also in light of the pending transaction, Remy is withdrawing its full year 2015 guidance for key financial metrics.

Use of Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Information

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) is the standard framework of guidelines for financial accounting. U.S. GAAP includes the standards, conventions, and rules accountants follow in recording and summarizing transactions and in the preparation of financial statements. In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP, Remy has provided adjusted EBITDA, cash earnings and cash earnings per share, non-U.S. GAAP financial measures, which are frequently used by management, analysts, investors and other interested parties.  Management believes that the non-U.S. GAAP financial measures presented provide a useful measure of Remy's financial performance since they exclude certain items which do not reflect ongoing operations.  A reconciliation of U.S. GAAP net income to adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA to cash earnings and cash earnings per share is provided herein.  Adjusted EBITDA is defined by the Company as net income before (i) interest expense–net, (ii) income tax expense, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) stock-based compensation expense, (v) restructuring, other charges and other impairment charges, (vi) certain purchase accounting finished goods inventory step-up costs, (vii) litigation settlements and related legal fees, (viii) acquisition related costs, and (ix) other adjustments.  In the fourth quarter 2014, we updated our definition to include litigation settlements and related legal fees, as well as, Transaction related fees.  All periods presented conform to this definition.  Cash earnings is defined as adjusted EBITDA less cash paid for (i) income taxes, (ii) interest expense and (iii) capital expenditures. Adjusted EBITDA, cash earnings and cash earnings per share as defined by the Company may differ from non-U.S. GAAP measures used by other companies and is not a measurement under U.S. GAAP.  There are limitations inherent in non-U.S. GAAP financial measures in that they exclude a variety of charges and credits that are required to be included in a U.S. GAAP presentation, and therefore do not present the full measure of the Company's recorded costs against its revenue.  Accordingly, in analyzing Remy's future financial performance, non-U.S. GAAP results presented should be considered together with U.S. GAAP results, rather than as an alternative to U.S. GAAP basis financial measures. Reconciliations of non-U.S. GAAP measures to related U.S. GAAP measures are presented in the financial schedules which accompany this release.

Reconciliation of non-U.S. GAAP financial measures
(Unaudited)

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of performance defined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We use adjusted EBITDA as a supplement to our U.S. GAAP results in evaluating our business. Other companies in our industry define adjusted EBITDA differently from us and, as a result, our measure is not comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies in our industry.

We define adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense–net, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring, other charges and other impairment charges, certain purchase accounting finished goods inventory step-up costs and other adjustments as set forth in the reconciliations provided below.  In the fourth quarter 2014, we updated our definition to include litigation settlements and related legal fees, as well as, acquisition related costs.  All periods presented conform to this definition.

Adjusted EBITDA is one of the key factors upon which we assess performance. As an analytical tool, adjusted EBITDA assists us in comparing our performance over various reporting periods on a consistent basis because it excludes items that we do not believe reflect our ongoing operating performance.

Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our performance, as an alternative to net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity, or as an alternative to any other measure prescribed by U.S. GAAP. There are limitations to using non-U.S. GAAP measures such as adjusted EBITDA. Although we believe that adjusted EBITDA may make an evaluation of our operating performance more consistent because it removes items that do not reflect our ongoing operations, adjusted EBITDA excludes certain financial information that some may consider important in evaluating our performance.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to its most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, net income (loss).

Cash earnings and cash earnings per share

Management believes cash earnings and cash earnings per share, which are non-U.S. GAAP measures, are useful in evaluating the ongoing operating performance of the Company.  We define cash earnings as adjusted EBITDA less cash paid for (i) income taxes, (ii) interest expense and (iii) capital expenditures. Cash earnings per share is defined as cash earnings divided by the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding for the period.  Other companies in our industry define cash earnings and cash earnings per share differently from us and, as a result, our measures are not comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies in our industry.
