“Our teams executed in a challenging production environment to
deliver margin expansion and Adjusted EBITDA growth this quarter.
In addition, we successfully completed our debt refinancing,
attracting $520 million in new capital. This refinancing
significantly strengthens our balance sheet and competitive
positioning, enabling us to focus on optimizing our business to
drive profitable growth,” commented Majdi Abulaban, President and
Chief Executive Officer of Superior.
“We are adjusting our full-year outlook as production amongst
key customers has softened more than expected in the second half of
the year. Amidst these headwinds, we are working to align costs
with the current production environment,” Mr. Abulaban continued.
“That said, we are gaining momentum with global customers through
our differentiated portfolio and low-cost production footprint and
remain well-positioned to generate long-term value for all
stakeholders.”
Third Quarter 2024 Results
Net Sales for the third quarter of 2024 were $322 million,
compared to Net Sales of $323 million in the prior year period.
Value-Added Sales Adjusted for Foreign Exchange and
Deconsolidation, a Non-GAAP financial measure, was $170 million for
the third quarter 2024, compared to $173 million in the prior year
period. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below and the
reconciliation of consolidated Net Sales to Value-Added Sales and
Value-Added Sales Adjusted for Foreign Exchange and Deconsolidation
in this press release.
Gross Profit for the third quarter of 2024 was $29 million,
compared to $25 million in the prior year period due to lower
conversion costs.
Selling, General, and Administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for
the third quarter of 2024 were $24 million, compared to $17 million
in the prior year period. The increase in SG&A expenses is
primarily due to professional service fees related to the
refinancing and restructuring related costs associated with the
transformation of our European business.
Income from Operations was $5 million in the third quarter of
2024, compared to a Loss from Operations of $71 million in the
prior year period. The increase is primarily due to a $80 million
charge related to the deconsolidation of our German subsidiary.
A Loss on Extinguishment of Debt for the third quarter of 2024
of $13 million was recognized related to the debt refinancing.
Income Tax Provision for the third quarter of 2024 was $1
million, compared to a provision of zero in the prior year
period.
For the third quarter of 2024, the Company reported a Net Loss
of $25 million, or Loss per Diluted Share of $1.24. This compares
to a Net Loss of $86 million, or Loss per Diluted Share of $3.42,
in the prior year period. See “Earnings per Share Calculation” in
this press release.
Adjusted EBITDA, a Non-GAAP financial measure, was $41 million,
or 24% of Value-Added Sales, in the third quarter of 2024, which
compares to $39 million, or 22% of Value-Added Sales, in the prior
year period. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to
slightly favorable conversion costs. See “Non-GAAP Financial
Measures” below and the reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted
EBITDA in this press release.
The Company reported Cash Flow Used by Operating Activities of
$3 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared to Cash Flow
Provided by Operating Activities of $9 million in the prior year
period. The decrease in Cash Flow from Operating Activities was due
to the impact of refinancing fees and a slightly higher investment
in working capital. For the third quarter 2024, Free Cash Flow, a
Non-GAAP financial measure, was negative $9 million, compared to
Free Cash Flow of negative $3 million in the prior year period.
Unlevered Free Cash Flow, a Non-GAAP financial measure, for the
third quarter 2024 was $9 million, a decrease of $3 million
compared to the prior year period. The decline in Unlevered Free
Cash Flow for the quarter was due to increased working capital and
other balance sheet items. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below
and the reconciliation of Cash Flow Provided by Operating
Activities to Free Cash Flow and Unlevered Free Cash Flow in this
press release.
Financial Position
As of September 30, 2024, Superior had Total Debt of $521
million and Net Debt, a Non-GAAP financial measure, of $497
million, compared to Total Debt of $630 million and Net Debt of
$453 million as of September 30, 2023. See “Non-GAAP Financial
Measures” below and the reconciliation of Total Debt to Net Debt in
this press release.
2024 Outlook
Superior’s full year 2024 Outlook is as follows:
FY 2024 Outlook Net
Sales $1.25 - $1.33 billion
Value-Added Sales $680 -
$700 million
Adjusted EBITDA $146 - $154 million
Unlevered Free Cash Flow $50 - $80 million
Capital
Expenditures ~$35 million
Superior is updating its Outlook to reflect the remainder of the
full year 2024. Net Sales estimates have been lowered due to lower
aluminum costs and lower anticipated production volumes by OEMs.
Value-Added Sales estimates have been lowered due to lower
anticipated production volumes by OEMs. Adjusted EBITDA estimates
also have been lowered due to lower anticipated production volumes
by OEMs. Unlevered Free Cash Flow estimates have been lowered to
reflect the updated Adjusted EBITDA estimate, and to reflect a
focus on balancing the maximization of Unlevered Free Cash Flow
with the liquidity requirements for the new term loan to enable
financial flexibility. As the Company successfully continues to
lower the capital intensity of the business and continues to invest
strategically in the business, Superior has reduced its
expectations for full year capital expenditures.
Value-Added Sales, Adjusted EBITDA, and Unlevered Free Cash Flow
are Non-GAAP measures, as defined below. In reliance on the safe
harbor provided under section 10(e) of Regulation S-K, Superior has
not quantitatively reconciled from Net Income (the most comparable
GAAP measure) to Adjusted EBITDA, Net Sales (the most comparable
GAAP measure) to Value-Added Sales, nor Cash Flow Provided by
Operating Activities (the most comparable GAAP measure) to
Unlevered Free Cash Flow presented in the 2024 Outlook, as Superior
is unable to quantify certain amounts included in Net Income, Net
Sales and Cash Flow Provided by Operating Activities without
unreasonable efforts and due to the inherent uncertainty regarding
such variables. Superior also believes that such reconciliation
would imply a degree of precision that could potentially be
confusing or misleading to investors. However, the magnitude of
these amounts may be significant.

(1) Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing
net income (loss), after deducting preferred dividends and
accretion and European non-controlling redeemable equity dividends,
by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. For
purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share, the weighted
average shares outstanding includes the dilutive effect of
outstanding stock options and time and performance based restricted
stock units under the treasury stock method. The redeemable
preferred shares are not included in the diluted earnings per share
because the conversion would be anti-dilutive for the periods ended
September 30, 2024 and 2023.
