Tower International Reports Strong Second Quarter Results and Increases Earnings Outlook for Full Year

LIVONIA, Mich., July 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Tower International, Inc. (NYSE: TOWR), a leading integrated global manufacturer of engineered structural metal components and assemblies, today announced second quarter 2013 results and updated its outlook for the full year.

  • Revenue for the second quarter was $556 million, compared with $555 million in the second quarter 2012.

  • Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $62.2 million, compared with $62.4 million a year ago.  Volume and mix was net unfavorable, as business wins were more than offset by the previously announced discontinued customer vehicle in China, less-favorable mix, and capacity-related fixed costs.  Favorable net cost performance offset the unfavorable volume and mix.

  • Adjusted EBITDA margin was 11.2%, unchanged from a year ago.

  • Net loss of $45.1 million in the second quarter 2013 compared with net income of $7.7 million a year ago.  As detailed below, this year's second quarter included certain items that adversely impacted results by $66.6 million.  Excluding these items and comparable items in the second quarter of 2012, diluted adjusted earnings were $1.03 per share, up 29% from 80 cents per share a year ago. 

  • For the full year, Tower is increasing its outlook for diluted adjusted earnings per share by 25 cents or 15% (to $1.90 per share).  Revenue is projected at $2.115 billion, $10 million lower than prior outlook because of exchange-rate translation.  The outlook for Adjusted EBITDA is increased to the upper end of the prior range (now $210 million), and projected free cash flow is increased to a range of $25-$30 million.

Tower to Host Conference Call Today at 4 p.m. EDT

Tower will discuss its second quarter 2013 results and other related matters in a conference call at 4 p.m. EDT today.  Participants may listen to the audio portion of the conference call either through a live audio webcast on the Company's website or by telephone.  The slide presentation and webcast can be accessed via the investor relations portion of Tower's website www.towerinternational.com.  To dial into the conference call, domestic callers should dial (866) 393-4576, international callers should dial (706) 679-1462.  An audio recording of the call will be available approximately two hours after the completion of the call.  To access this recording, please dial (855) 859-2056 (domestic) or (404) 537-3406 (international) and reference Conference I.D. #22365938.  A webcast replay will also be available and may be accessed via Tower's website.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes the following non-GAAP financial measures: "Adjusted EBITDA", "free cash flow", "net debt", and "diluted adjusted earnings per share." We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income / (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, restructuring items and other adjustments described in the reconciliations provided in this press release.  Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by or used in operating activities less cash disbursed for purchases of property, plant and equipment. Net debt is defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents and less certain restricted cash that will be used to pay down the remainder of certain of our senior secured bonds in August 2013.  Diluted adjusted earnings per share exclude the impact of certain items as described in the reconciliations provided in this press release that are included in our net income / (loss).  We use Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow as supplements to information provided in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in evaluating our business and they are included in this press release because they are principal factors upon which our management assesses performance.  We believe these items as well as the non-GAAP financial measures of net debt and diluted adjusted income / (loss) per share are useful to investors as they provide an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating operating results and trends, and in comparing our financial results with other companies.  Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP are set forth below.  The non-GAAP measures presented are not measures of performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives for the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Other companies in our industry may define these non-GAAP measures differently than we do and, as a result, these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies in our industry.   In addition, certain of our non-GAAP financial measures exclude financial information that some may consider important in evaluating our performance.  Given the inherent uncertainty regarding special items and other expense in any future period, a reconciliation of forward-looking financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP is not feasible.  The magnitude of these items, however, may be significant.
