ANDERSON, Ind., May 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Remy International, Inc. ("Remy
International" or the "Company"), a leading manufacturer, remanufacturer
and distributor of Delco Remy brand heavy-duty systems and Remy brand
starters and alternators, diesel engines, locomotive products and hybrid
power technology, today reported its financial results for the three month
period ended March 31, 2006.
Net sales for the first quarter increased $70 million to $351.6
million, a 24.9% increase, compared with $281.6 million reported in the
corresponding period last year. The increase reflects the full quarter
impact of the Unit Parts Company acquisition in March 2005, as well as a
39.4% increase in Powertrain sales and a 22.7% increase in OEM sales.
The Company reported an adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of $24.0
million, a $3.4 million increase, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $20.6
million in the first quarter 2005. The increase in adjusted EBITDA
primarily reflects the sales increases discussed above combined with
savings from our cost savings programs undertaken in 2005.
The Company reported an operating income of $15.7 million in the first
quarter 2006, compared with operating income of $14.9 million in the first
quarter 2005.
Net loss for the first quarter increased $5.2 million to $8.1 million
compared with $2.9 million reported in the corresponding period last year.
Net cash used in operating activities for the first quarter ending
March 31, 2006 was $8.6 million, compared with cash provided by operating
activities of $2.6 million for the corresponding period last year. The cash
usage in the first quarter of 2006 includes $7.7 million for previously
announced restructuring payments including the UAW settlement reached in
January 2006. The Company's liquidity at March 31, 2006 was approximately
$106.4 million, consisting of $86.6 million of availability on its senior
credit facility in addition to unrestricted cash of $19.8 million on the
consolidated balance sheet.
Future Outlook:
Commenting on the 1st Quarter 2006 results, John H. Weber, President
and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Our results for the quarter were in
line with our expectations. We are beginning to realize returns on our cost
savings efforts to date and continue to identify additional opportunities.
Focus, hard work and execution will enable us to deliver our previously
announced full year 2006 targets."
The Company reaffirms its prior guidance and believes that full year
2006 sales and adjusted EBITDA will be in the ranges of $1,275 to $1,300
million and $90 to $110 million, respectively, with adjusted EBITDA
comprised of $60 to $80 million of operating income and about $30 million
of depreciation and amortization. The Company expects net cash provided by
operating activities for 2006 will be in the range of $10 to $20 million
including cash usage for restructuring payments. Capital expenditures for
2006 are expected to be approximately $35 million.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information:
In addition to the results reported in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") included

commonly utilized in the industry to analyze operating performance and
liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as income from
operations, net income or net cash flow from operating activities as
determined by GAAP. For a reconciliation of historical adjusted EBITDA to
GAAP financial information, please refer to the table following the
