TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Nov. 5, 2015) - Martinrea International Inc. (TSX:MRE), a leader in the development and production of quality metal parts, assemblies and modules and fluid management systems and complex aluminum products focused primarily on the automotive sector, announced today the release of its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2015 and a quarterly dividend.
HIGHLIGHTS
- Record third quarter sales
- Record third quarter adjusted net income
- Successful sale of Soest facility
- $100 million in new business awards
- Dividend of $0.03 per share
OVERVIEW
Pat D'Eramo, Martinrea's President and Chief Executive Officer, stated: "I am really pleased with the team's performance this quarter and year to date, as we continue to drive a lean manufacturing culture and improve our operations. We had our best third quarter ever from an earnings point of view, after some restructuring costs incurred in rationalizing our workforce, making us more competitive for the future. Overall, 2015 has been a very good year. We continue to work well with our customers, and I am happy to announce new product awards totaling approximately $100 million on an annual basis when launched. New product wins included a fuel filler for GM starting in 2018 ($10 million); an engine block for GM in Brazil starting in 2018 ($10 million); some additional aluminum components for Jaguar LandRover starting in 2016 ($10 million); and approximately $70 million in incremental metallic and fluid work on the new generation of GM trucks starting in 2018, in addition to the replacement work on the same platform. Overall, year to date we have announced over $500 million in new business awards, as well as significant replacement business we do not announce separately. This business is a testament to the hard work of our people and the support we have from our customers, in all our product groups, all of which have been winning work."
Fred Di Tosto, Martinrea's Chief Financial Officer, stated: "Sales in our third quarter, excluding tooling sales, were $899 million, in line with the previously announced sales guidance. In the third quarter, our adjusted net earnings per share, on a basic and diluted basis, was $0.30, within our quarterly guidance and a third quarter record for us. Third quarter adjusted operating income and EBITDA margins improved year-over-year, despite continuing pre-operating costs at new plants currently preparing for upcoming launches. Our adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $75.8 million, or 8.1% of total sales, representing a strong 21.6% year-over-year increase. We experienced some unusual and other items totalling $15.4 million in the quarter, the bulk of which related to rationalizing our work force in Meschede, streamlining our plant for the future. Future restructuring costs in Meschede are now anticipated to be lower given the higher than expected cuts achieved in the third quarter."
Rob Wildeboer, Martinrea's Executive Chairman, stated: "We are confident in a great future, and we continue to take steps that support a better company every day. In the quarter, we completed the sale of our Soest facility, a non-strategic asset for us that had an uncertain future, at a price approximating book value. While this removes approximately $80 million in annualized revenue from our future projections, the move is not expected to hurt margins as the future Soest business was low margin work. We continued to ramp up our new facilities, and both our new Spanish plant and our Riverside facility are in the process of launching new work at this time. Our 2015 year should finish on a positive note, and we expect to have a solid fourth quarter, with sales for the quarter, excluding tooling sales, in the range of $930 to $970 million, and net earnings per share in the range of $0.30 to $0.34 per share. Earnings guidance for the fourth quarter reflects continued start-up costs, a slightly higher tax rate than previous quarters, and customer shutdowns for re-tooling, in and above the typical December shutdown, including a slowdown of our Martinrea Honsel Mexico facility as Chrysler moves to the next generation Pentastar engine block. We expect the engine program to start ramping back up in February and be back at full volume by the second quarter of next year. In sum, we anticipate 2015 will be our best year ever from a financial point of view, and we are budgeting for improvement in 2016. In addition, on the litigation front, I note that the plaintiffs in the Rea litigation have discontinued their suit against the Company and the other defendants."

*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 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 Earnings 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 this Press Release.
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 third quarter of 2015 increased by $70.4 million or 8.2% to $929.9 million as compared to $859.5 million for the third quarter of 2014. Sales increased year-over-year across all operating segments.
Sales for the third quarter of 2015 in the Company's North America operating segment increased by $59.3 million or 8.7% to $745.0 million from $685.7 million for the third quarter of 2014. The increase was due to the launch of new programs during or subsequent to the third quarter of 2014, including the BMW X6, Ford Edge and Ford Transit, 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 third quarter of 2015 of approximately $94.9 million as compared to the third quarter of 2014. These positive factors were partially offset by a $41.7 million decrease in tooling sales, which are typically dependent on the timing of tooling construction and final acceptance by the customer, and lower year-over-year OEM production volumes on certain light-vehicle platforms late in their product life cycle such as the current GM Malibu, Cruze and Camaro.
Sales for the third quarter of 2015 in the Company's Europe operating segment increased by $4.6 million or 2.9% to $164.0 million from $159.4 million for the third quarter of 2014. The increase can be attributed to increased production sales in the Company's operating facilities in Spain and Slovakia, which continue to ramp up and launch their backlog of business; partially offset by a $2.3 million decrease in tooling sales, a $4.1 million negative foreign exchange impact from the translation of Euro denominated production sales as compared to the third quarter of 2014, and lower overall production volumes in the Company's Martinrea Honsel German operations including the impact from the sale of the Company's operating facility in Soest, Germany on August 31, 2015.
Sales for the third quarter of 2015 in the Company's Rest of the World operating segment increased by $6.5 million or 44.9% to $20.9 million from $14.4 million in the third quarter of 2014. The increase was mainly due to a year-over-year 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, and a $0.3 million increase in tooling sales; partially offset by the impact of foreign exchange on the translation of foreign denominated production sales, which had a negative impact on overall sales for the third quarter of 2015 of approximately $0.2 million as compared to the third quarter of 2014. OEM light vehicle production volumes in Brazil continue to trend at low levels, although production sales for the third quarter of 2015 in the Company's operating facility in Brazil were stable year-over-year generally due to sales mix.
Overall tooling sales decreased by $43.7 million to $31.1 million for the third quarter of 2015 from $74.8 million for the third quarter of 2014.

The Company's consolidated sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 increased by $176.6 million or 6.7% to $2,831.5 million as compared to $2,654.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Sales increased year-over-year across all operating segments.
Sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 in the Company's North America operating segment increased by $162.2 million or 7.7% to $2,256.9 million from $2,094.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The increase was due to the launch of new programs during or subsequent to the nine months ended September 30, 2014, including the new Chrysler 200, BMW X6, Ford Edge and Ford Transit, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2015 of approximately $226.8 million as compared to the comparative period of 2014. These positive variances were partially offset by a year-over-year decrease in tooling sales of $59.2 million and lower year-over-year OEM production volumes on certain light-vehicle platforms including the Chrysler Minivan platform, which was down for thirteen weeks during the first half of 2015 for re-tooling, and platforms late in their product life cycle.
Sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 in the Company's Europe operating segment increased by $1.3 million or 0.2% to $517.3 million from $516.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The increase can be attributed to increased production sales in the Company's operating facilities in Spain and Slovakia, which continue to ramp up and launch their backlog of business; partially offset by a $6.3 million decrease in tooling sales, the impact of foreign exchange on the translation of Euro denominated production sales, which had a negative impact on overall sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 of approximately $31.3 million as compared to the comparable period of 2014, and lower overall production volumes in the Company's Martinrea Honsel German operations including the impact from the sale of the Company's operating facility in Soest, Germany on August 31, 2015.
Sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 in the Company's Rest of the World operating segment increased by $13.1 million or 29.7% to $57.3 million from $44.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The increase can be attributed to 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, and a $1.7 million increase in tooling sales; partially offset by lower year-over-year production sales in the Company's operating facility in Brazil and the translation of foreign denominated production sales, which had a negative impact on overall sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 of $0.8 million as compared to the comparative period of 2014.
Overall tooling sales decreased by $63.8 million to $99.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $163.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

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, and a decrease in tooling sales which typically earn low or no margins for the Company; partially offset by the following:

(1) Restructuring costs
As part of the acquisition of Honsel (as described in the "Acquisitions" section of the MD&A), a certain level of restructuring was planned in order to be cost competitive over the long term, in particular at the Company's operating facility in Meschede, Germany. In connection with these restructuring activities, $13.6 million (EUR9.7 million) of employee related severance was recognized during the third quarter of 2015. No such restructuring costs were incurred during 2014. Additional employee related severance associated with the Martinrea Honsel operations, may be incurred in the future.
(2) Executive separation agreement
On July 14, 2015, Danny Infusino stepped down as the Company's Executive Vice President of Business Development and Engineering and Vice President of Operations. The costs added back for Adjusted Net Income purposes represents Mr. Infusino's termination benefits (included in SG&A expense) as set out in his employment contract payable over an eighteen month period.
(3) Loss on sale of assets and liabilities held for sale
During the second quarter of 2015, certain assets and liabilities of the Company's operating facility in Soest, Germany were transferred to assets held for sale. The Soest facility specializes in aluminum extrusions which the Company determined was not core to the strategy of the overall business going forward. The agreement to sell the Soest facility was closed on August 31, 2015. The net assets were sold for proceeds of $20.6 million (EUR14.6 million) resulting in a pre-tax loss on sale of $0.4 million (EUR0.3 million).
(4) External legal and forensic accounting costs related to litigation
The costs added back for Adjusted Net Income purposes for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 reflects the legal and forensic accounting costs not covered by insurance (recorded as SG&A expense) incurred by the Company in relation to specific litigation matters outside the ordinary course of business as outlined in the Company's Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2014.
