EVANSVILLE, Ind. – March 3, 2014 – Accuride Corporation (NYSE: ACW) – a leading supplier of components to the North American commercial vehicle industry – today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2013 ended December 31, 2013.

Fourth Quarter 2013 Results

Fourth quarter 2013 net sales from continuing operations were $144.7 million, compared with $148.6 million in the same period in 2012, a decline of 2.6 percent, primarily reflecting the impact of weaker industry conditions in our Brillion segment, OEM market share changes and continued competitive pressures in our Gunite and Wheels segments during the quarter. The Company experienced an operating loss of $1.7 million for the quarter, as compared to an operating loss of $149.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. The 2012 operating loss included $133.7 million in one-time impairment charges related to goodwill and other assets related to Gunite. The Company reported net income of $1.9 million, or $0.04 per share, during the quarter compared to a net loss of $154.5 million, or $3.26 per share, in 2012. Fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA increased by 55.6 percent year-over-year to $9.8 million, or 6.8 percent of net sales, compared to $6.3 million, or 4.2 percent of net sales, in the same quarter of 2012. As of December 31, 2013, Accuride had $33.4 million of cash plus $30.2 million in availability under its ABL Credit Facility, for total liquidity of $63.6 million.

Fiscal Year 2013 Results

Net sales from continuing operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 were $642.9 million, compared with $794.6 million in the prior year, a decrease of 19.1 percent. The decline in net sales was primarily the result of lower production by commercial vehicle manufacturers, previously announced market share losses at Gunite and weaker industrial end-markets at Brillion. Accuride reported a fully diluted loss per share of $0.56 for the year ended December 31, 2013. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for fiscal-year 2013 was $47.0 million, compared to $65.9 million in the prior year, a 28.7 percent decrease.

Commenting on Accuride’s fourth-quarter results and business conditions, President and CEO Rick Dauch said, “The past year proved challenging for Accuride due to continued weakness in our principal end markets that led to disappointing financial results. We responded by taking the tough, necessary actions to selectively reduce SG&A and overhead costs to be in line with changing market conditions throughout the year. These and other actions to consolidate our operational footprint enabled us to lower the breakeven point of each of our businesses and achieve operating income performance at or near break-even for the year.

“In addition, the completion of our major capital upgrades and adoption of Lean systems across our operations have yielded quality, warranty, delivery and lead-times consistently at or approaching world-class levels. Our financial and operational performance in the fourth quarter directly reflects these actions and indicates the kind of improved results we expect to generate going forward as our end markets continue to recover,” Dauch added.
