ANDERSON, Ind., Nov. 14 /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 announced net sales of $316.0 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $11.5
million for the quarter ended September 30, 2005. Net sales increased $61.7
million, or 24.3%, and Adjusted EBITDA decreased $16.1 million, or 58.3%,
compared with the third quarter of 2004. Operating income amounted to $1.5
million in the third quarter of 2005 compared to $22.2 million reported in the
corresponding period last year.
The net sales increase of $61.7 million in the third quarter primarily
reflects the impact of the Unit Parts Company ("UPC") acquisition in March
2005, as well as a 45% increase in Powertrain sales and a 10% increase in OEM
sales.
Commenting on the third quarter results, Tom Snyder, President and CEO,
stated, "Market softness in our North American automotive and electrical
aftermarket business, pricing pressure and unfavorable foreign exchange
continue to adversely impact our results. Clearly, our third quarter results
did not meet our internal expectations. The initial benefits of our cost
reduction actions were offset by a worsening in industry conditions, a higher
than expected increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, and
the effects of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Profitability in our Original
Equipment business, despite higher revenue in the quarter, was adversely
affected by higher raw material and fuel costs, and expenditures related to
product launch costs."
He continued, "Although we faced a tough operating environment, our
successful efforts to lower working capital enabled the Company to generate
$10.7 million in cash from operating activities during the quarter."
The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses in the third
quarter versus last year primarily reflects the impact of the UPC acquisition,
unfavorable foreign exchange, a provision for bad debt expense, and certain
severance costs.
Net sales of $909.9 million in the first nine months of 2005 increased
$114.5 million, or 14.4%, over the comparable period in 2004. Adjusted EBITDA
for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 of $38.3 million declined $48.9
million and operating income of $13.2 million declined $55.9 million compared
with the same period of 2004.
Cash used in operating activities of $27.3 million in the first nine
months of 2005 represents an $11.4 million increase over the comparable period
in 2004, reflecting lower earnings and payments for customer obligations,
partially offset by lower working capital. Cash flow in 2004 was negatively
affected by approximately $14 million paid in connection with a Mexican
arbitration settlement. The Company's liquidity at September 30, 2005
amounted to approximately $92 million, consisting of $65.6 million of
availability on its senior credit facility in addition to $26.3 million in
cash on the balance sheet.
Future Outlook:
Commenting on 2005, Raj Shah, Chief Operating Officer, stated, "The
balance of the year will be challenging. We remain focused on supporting our
customers' requirements while we continue our efforts to boost productivity,
reduce costs and improve our cash flow from operations. In each of our
products, we are taking substantial steps to lower variable and fixed costs.
We expect the benefits of these actions to accelerate through 2006."
