Martinrea International Inc. Releases First Quarter Results and Announces Dividend

May 5, 2015 5:02 PM EDT

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 05/05/15 -- Martinrea International Inc. (TSX: MRE), a leader in the production of quality metal parts, assemblies and modules and fluid management systems focused primarily on the automotive sector, announced today the release of its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2015 and a quarterly dividend.

HIGHLIGHTS


--  Strong first quarter production sales
--  Record net earnings
--  Improving operating income and EBITDA margins
--  $200 Million in incremental business awards
--  Dividend of $0.03 per share announced

OVERVIEW

Pat D'Eramo, Martinrea's President and Chief Executive Officer stated: "We are pleased to report that our first quarter was strong in terms of sales and a record quarter in terms of profits. Our team is very focused on operations and making improvements, and that is translating to the bottom line. We are working hard on doing great work for our customers every day, and that has resulted in some nice incremental business awarded to us in the past several weeks. We have two aluminum based awards to announce. First, as noted on our last investor call, Jaguar Land Rover awarded us a new program for knuckle and control arms across various vehicle platforms approximating $100 million annually when fully launched in 2019. These products will be produced in our facilities in Spain and China, which are already being built, so management teams and facilities are already being put in place. Second, we have been awarded an engine block program from Ford for its 2.0L engine block, to be produced in our facilities in Spain and Germany, approximating $100 million annually when fully launched in 2020. These programs have a slow ramp up to peak volumes, so product sales help to defray the cost of ramping up, and they are across various vehicle platforms with generally longer production lives. Both these awards will see us producing parts for our customers into the late part of the next decade. These awards, together with the awards announced earlier this year, give us a total of approximately $400 million in incremental business awards in the past six months, a sign of customer confidence and our ability to deliver."

Fred Di Tosto, Martinrea's Chief Financial Officer, stated: "Sales for our first quarter, excluding tooling sales, were $887 million, in line with the previously announced sales guidance. In the first quarter, our net earnings per share, on a basic and diluted basis, was $0.36, above our quarterly guidance, as a result of stronger than expected performance in the month of March and some foreign exchange gains during the quarter. First quarter operating income and EBITDA margins improved nicely year over year and quarter over quarter, despite pre-operating costs at new plants currently preparing for upcoming launches. We continue to expect operating income margins to improve to over 6% by 2017, with steady improvement over the next three years. We were particularly pleased to see strengthening of our operating income margins in North America, as many U.S. Metallic plants showed improvement. Our European results were weaker year over year, as anticipated, given the pre-operating and launch costs in Spain and Slovakia, as these plants ramp up, and anticipated reduction in volumes of some programs in Germany. Our EBITDA for the quarter was $74.9 million, or 8.2% of sales, representing a 12% year-over-year increase, and a quarterly record for us."

Rob Wildeboer, Martinrea's Executive Chairman, stated: "Our company is as strong today as it has ever been, and we are bullish about our future as we continue to grow our business and our profits over time. We have a terrific group of people at Martinrea, dedicated to fulfilling our vision, and we thank them for their continuing efforts. This company has positive momentum that we believe will continue in the present automotive environment, even if there is a flattening of volumes in the industry. We are working hard to serve our customers well, not just in existing business and new product awards, but we have been assisting in some takeover work situations also, to help our customers keep up with their robust production schedules. For our upcoming quarter, we expect to generate sales for the quarter, excluding tooling sales, in the range of $920-960 million, and generate net earnings per share in the range of 37 to 41 cents per share. Both would be record financial results. We thank our stakeholders for their support, and we believe that support will be rewarded over time as we continue to strengthen our company."

(i)Non-IFRS Measures

The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). However, the Company considers certain non-IFRS financial measures as useful additional information in measuring the financial performance and financial condition of the Company. These measures, which the Company believes are widely used by investors, securities analysts and other interested parties in evaluating the Company's performance, do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other publicly traded companies, nor should they be construed as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with IFRS. Non-IFRS measures include "Adjusted Net Income", "Adjusted Net Income per Share (on a basic and diluted basis)", "Adjusted Operating Income" and "Adjusted EBITDA". Unusual and other items are explained in the "Adjustments to Net Income" section of the Company's Management Discussion and Analysis of Operating Results and Financial Position for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2015 ("MD&A").

The following tables provide a reconciliation of IFRS "Net Income Attributable to Equity Holders of the Company" to Non-IFRS "Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Equity Holders of the Company", "Adjusted Operating Income" and "Adjusted EBITDA":

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Company's consolidated sales for the first quarter of 2015 increased by $53.0 million or 6.1% to $917.5 million as compared to $864.5 million for the first quarter of 2014. The total overall increase in sales was driven by increases in the Company's North America and Europe operating segments, partially offset by a slight year-over-year decrease in sales in the Rest of the World.

Sales for the first quarter of 2015 in the Company's North America operating segment increased by $49.5 million or 7.5% to $713.1 million from $663.7 million for the first quarter of 2014. The increase was due to the launch of new programs during or subsequent to the first quarter of 2014, including the new Chrysler 200 and Ford Edge; a $1.6 million increase in tooling sales, which are typically dependent on the timing of tooling construction and final acceptance by the customer; and the impact of foreign exchange on the translation of U.S. denominated production sales, which had a positive impact on overall sales for the first quarter of 2015 of $58.0 million as compared to the first quarter of 2014. These positive factors were offset by lower year-over-year OEM production volumes on certain OEM light-vehicle platforms including the Chrysler Minivan platform, which is scheduled to be down for thirteen weeks in 2015 for re-tooling, the Ford Fusion and other light-vehicle platforms late in their life cycle.

Sales for the first quarter of 2015 in the Company's Europe operating segment increased by $3.7 million or 2.0% to $187.4 million from $183.7 million for the first quarter of 2014. The increase can be attributed to new incremental aluminum business with Jaguar Land Rover and a $1.3 million increase in tooling sales, which are typically dependent on the timing of tooling construction and final acceptance by the customer; partially offset by the impact of foreign exchange on the translation of Euro denominated production sales, which had a negative impact on overall sales for the first quarter of 2015 of $8.5 million as compared to the first quarter of 2014, and lower overall production volumes in the Company's Martinrea Honsel German operations.

Sales for the first quarter of 2015 in the Company's Rest of the World operating segment decreased by $0.2 million or 1.0% to $17.0 million from $17.2 million in the first quarter of 2014. The slight decrease can be attributed to a year-over-year decrease in overall OEM light and medium heavy vehicle production in Brazil, partially offset by a $0.7 million increase in tooling sales and an increase in production sales in the Company's new fluids systems plant in China, which began operations in 2013 and continues to ramp up its backlog of business.

Overall tooling sales increased by $3.6 million to $30.5 million for the first quarter of 2015 from $26.9 million for the first quarter of 2014.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The gross margin percentage for the first quarter of 2015 of 10.4% increased as a percentage of sales by 0.3% as compared to the gross margin percentage for the first quarter of 2014 of 10.1%. The increase in gross margin as a percentage of sales was generally due to productivity and efficiency improvements at certain operating facilities, in particular in the Company's U.S. Metallic operations, partially offset by the following:


--  increased pre-operating and launch costs, in particular at new operating
    facilities in Spain, Mexico, China and Riverside, Missouri as these new
    plants prepare for upcoming new program launches;
--  operational inefficiencies and other costs at certain other facilities;
--  lower production volumes in the Company's Martinrea Honsel German
    operations; and
--  the positive resolution of commercial disputes in the Company's European
    operations which positively impacted the first quarter of 2014 as
    compared to the first quarter of 2015.

(ATTRIBUTABLE TO EQUITY HOLDERS OF THE COMPANY)

Adjusted net income excludes certain unusual and other items, as set out in the following table and described in the notes thereto.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Net income, before adjustments, for the first quarter of 2015 increased by $13.7 million to $30.4 million from $16.7 million for the first quarter of 2014. Excluding the unusual and other item incurred during the first quarter of 2014 as explained in Table A under "Adjustments to Net Income", net income for the first quarter of 2015 increased to $30.4 million or $0.36 per share, on a basic and diluted basis, from $17.6 million or $0.21 per share, on a basic and diluted basis, for the first quarter of 2014.

Adjusted net income for the first quarter of 2015, as compared to the first quarter of 2014, was positively impacted by the following:


--  productivity and efficiency improvements at certain operating facilities
    in particular in the Company's U.S. Metallic operations;
--  the inclusion of 100% of the net earnings from Martinrea Honsel after
    the Company purchased the 45% non-controlling interest of the group on
    August 7, 2014 (see "Acquisition" section of the MD&A for further
    details on the transaction); and
--  a net foreign exchange gain of $2.6 million for the first quarter of
    2015 compared to a net foreign exchange loss of $0.3 million for the
    first quarter of 2014.

These factors were partially offset by the following:


--  increased pre-operating and launch costs, in particular at new operating
    facilities in Spain, Mexico, China, and Riverside, Missouri as these new
    plants prepare for upcoming new program launches;
--  operational inefficiencies and other costs at certain other facilities;
--  lower production volumes in the Company's Martinrea Honsel German
    operations;
--  the positive resolution of commercial disputes in the Company's European
    operations which positively impacted the first quarter of 2014 as
    compared to the first quarter of 2015;
--  a higher effective tax rate on adjusted earnings due generally to the
    mix of earnings (23.3% for the first quarter of 2015 compared to 17.4%
    for the first quarter of 2014); and
--  year-over-year increases in SG&A expense as previously discussed,

    dependence on consumer spending and general economic conditions;
--  the Company's dependence on a limited number of significant customers;
--  financial viability of suppliers;
--  the Company's reliance on critical suppliers and on suppliers for
    components and the risk that suppliers will not be able to supply
    components on a timely basis or in sufficient quantities;
--  competition;
--  the increasing pressure on the Company to absorb costs related to
    product design and development, engineering, program management,
    prototypes, validation and tooling;
--  increased pricing of raw materials;
--  outsourcing and insourcing trends;
--  the risk of increased costs associated with product warranty and recalls
    together with the associated liability;

    techniques;

    North American Free Trade Agreement;
--  labour disputes;
--  litigation;
--  currency risk;
--  fluctuations in operating results;
--  internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and
    procedures;
--  environmental regulation;
--  a shift away from technologies in which the Company is investing;
--  competition with low cost countries;
--  the Company's ability to shift its manufacturing footprint to take
    advantage of opportunities in emerging markets;
--  risks of conducting business in foreign countries, including China,
    Brazil and other growing markets;
--  potential tax exposure;
--  a change in the Company's mix of earnings between jurisdictions with
    lower tax rates and those with higher tax rates, as well as the
    Company's ability to fully benefit from tax losses;
--  under-funding of pension plans; and
--  the cost of post-employment benefits.

These factors should be considered carefully, and readers should not place undue reliance on the Company's forward-looking statements.
