“Our team delivered strong results in the quarter which underscores our ongoing emphasis on operational excellence and commercial discipline. We delivered Value-Added Sales and Adjusted EBITDA above pre-Covid levels, while navigating market volatility, lower aftermarket volumes, and collaborating with customers on the recovery of cost inflation. Further, demand for larger and lighter wheels with premium finishes continues to deliver significant content growth, as it has for 17 consecutive quarters,” commented Majdi Abulaban, President and Chief Executive Officer of Superior. “We have made good progress in executing the 10% overhead reduction plan we previously discussed and I’m pleased that we are on plan. Further, we have increased focus on improving margins in Europe by taking a holistic look at our business.”

Second Quarter Results

Net sales for the second quarter of 2023 were $373 million, compared to net sales of $432 million in the prior year period. The decline in net sales compared to the prior year period is due to lower cost of aluminum and lower unit shipments. Value-Added Sales, a Non-GAAP financial measure, was $200 million for the second quarter of 2023, compared to $186 million in the prior year period. Value-Added Sales increased compared to the prior year period notwithstanding the decline in unit shipments largely due to the pass-through of cost inflation to customers. Content per Wheel, a Non-GAAP financial measure, was $52.41, up 13% compared to the prior year quarter, due to the continuing consumer preference for larger wheels with more complex finishes and pricing to recover inflation. 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 in this press release.

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2023 was $41 million, compared to $43 million in the prior year period, because of fewer unit shipments and restructuring charges associated with the initiative to reduce our cost structure.

Selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the second quarter of 2023 were $17 million, flat compared to the prior year period.

Operating income for the second quarter of 2023 was $24 million, compared to $26 million in the prior year period. The decrease is due to lower gross profit.

The tax provision for the second quarter of 2023 was $6 million, compared to a provision of $5 million in the second quarter of 2022.

For the second quarter of 2023, the Company reported a net loss of $0.1 million, or loss per diluted share of $0.35. This compares to net income of $11 million, and earnings per diluted share of $0.07, in the second quarter of 2022. See “Earnings per Share Calculation” in this press release.

Adjusted EBITDA, a Non-GAAP financial measure, was $52 million for the second quarter of 2023, or 26% of Value-Added Sales, which compares to $51 million, or 28% of Value-Added Sales, in the prior year period. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA margin was primarily due to higher recovery of cost inflation from customers in Q2 of 2022, as well as lower unit shipments in Q2 of 2023. 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 $28 million in the second quarter of 2023, compared to $12 million of Cash Flow Provided By Operating Activities during the second quarter of 2022. Free Cash Flow, a Non-GAAP financial measure, was negative $37 million, compared to negative Free Cash Flow of $8 million in the prior year period. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below and the reconciliation of cash flow from operations to Free Cash Flow in this press release.

Financial Position

As of June 30, 2023, Superior had funded debt of $639 million and Net Debt, a Non-GAAP financial measure, of $458 million, compared to funded debt of $593 million and Net Debt of $471 million as of June 30, 2022. The decline in Net Debt is primarily due to Free Cash Flow for the twelve months ended June 30, 2023. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below and the reconciliation of funded debt to Net Debt in this press release.

2023 Outlook

Superior’s full year 2023 outlook remains as follows:

 
FY 2023 Outlook
Unit Shipments 15.0 - 15.8 million
Net Sales $1.55 - $1.63 billion
Value-Added Sales $755 - $795 million
Adjusted EBITDA $170 - $190 million
Cash Flow from Operations $110 - $130 million
Capital Expenditures ~$65 million
 

Value-Added Sales and Adjusted EBITDA 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 presented in the 2023 outlook, as Superior is unable to quantify certain amounts included in net income 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 June 30, 2023 and 2022.
