DETROIT, Aug. 2, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- American Axle
& Manufacturing Holdings, Inc. (AAM), (NYSE: AXL) today
reported its financial results for the second quarter 2019 and
updated its full year financial outlook.
Second Quarter 2019 Results
- Sales of $1.70 billion
- Net income attributable to AAM of $52.5
million, or 3.1% of sales
- Adjusted EBITDA of $266.0
million, or 15.6% of sales
- Diluted earnings per share of $0.45; Adjusted earnings per share of
$0.55
- Net cash provided by operating activities of $217.1 million; Adjusted free cash flow of
$119.3 million
"In the second quarter of 2019, AAM continued to improve its
operational performance with sequential quarterly margin increases
and strong free cash flow generation. However, we exited the
second quarter with softer sales than anticipated and we expect
this to continue to impact us in the second half of 2019," said
AAM's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, David C. Dauch. "As we look towards the second
half of 2019, we are focused on efficiently operating our business
and adapting to the changing market demand."
AAM's sales in the second quarter of 2019 were $1.70 billion as compared to $1.90 billion in the second quarter of 2018.
AAM's net income in the second quarter of 2019 was $52.5 million, or $0.45 per share, as compared to $151.1 million, or $1.30 per share in the second quarter of
2018.
AAM defines Adjusted earnings per share to be diluted earnings
per share excluding the impact of restructuring and
acquisition-related costs, debt refinancing and redemption costs,
gain on sale of business, goodwill impairments and non-recurring
items, including the tax effect thereon. Adjusted earnings
per share in the second quarter of 2019 were $0.55 compared to $1.23 in the second quarter of 2018.
AAM defines EBITDA to be earnings before interest expense,
income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is
defined as EBITDA excluding the impact of restructuring and
acquisition-related costs, debt refinancing and redemption costs,
gain on sale of business, goodwill impairments and non-recurring
items. In the second quarter of 2019, Adjusted EBITDA was
$266.0 million, or 15.6% of sales, as
compared to $347.9 million, or 18.3%
of sales, in the second quarter of 2018.
AAM's net cash provided by operating activities for the second
quarter of 2019 was $217.1
million.
AAM defines free cash flow to be net cash provided by operating
activities less capital expenditures net of proceeds from the sale
of property, plant and equipment. Adjusted free cash flow is
defined as free cash flow excluding the impact of cash payments for
restructuring and acquisition-related costs. AAM's Adjusted
free cash flow for the second quarter of 2019 was $119.3 million.
AAM's 2019 Financial Outlook
AAM is experiencing lower
metal market pass throughs and lower than projected global
production volumes for certain programs we support including
in Asia, primarily China, and
global engine and transmission products. As a result, AAM has
revised its full year 2019 financial targets as follows:
- AAM is targeting sales in the range of $6.9 - $7.0 billion
in 2019.
- AAM is targeting Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $1.05 - $1.10
billion in 2019.
- AAM is targeting Adjusted free cash flow of approximately
$250 million in 2019, including the
reduction of estimated capital expenditures from approximately
$515 million to approximately
$485 million.
AAM's revised full year 2019 financial targets reflect:
- An estimate of production volumes for the remainder of 2019
based on internal and external sources and the current metal market
environment
- A reduction in profitability primarily associated with lower
sales and an increase in engineering, research and development
expenditures to support our future e-AAM hybrid and electric
driveline growth and
- Continued operational improvements in-line with previous
commentary.

Non-GAAP Financial Information
In addition to the
results reported in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of
America (GAAP) included within this press release, AAM has
provided certain information, which includes non-GAAP financial
measures such as Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted earnings per share and
Adjusted free cash flow. Such information is reconciled to
its closest GAAP measure in accordance with Securities and Exchange
Commission rules and is included in the attached supplemental
data.
Certain of the forward-looking financial measures included in
this earnings release are provided on a non-GAAP basis. A
reconciliation of non-GAAP forward-looking financial measures to
the most directly comparable forward-looking financial measures
calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP has been
provided. The amounts in these reconciliations are based on
our current estimates and actual results may differ materially from
these forward-looking estimates for many reasons, including
potential event driven transactional and other non-core operating
items and their related effects in any future period, the magnitude
of which may be significant.
Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are
useful to management, investors, and banking institutions in their
analysis of the Company's business and operating performance.
Management also uses this information for operational planning and
decision-making purposes.
Non-GAAP financial measures are not and should not be considered
a substitute for any GAAP measure. Additionally, non-GAAP financial
measures as presented by AAM may not be comparable to similarly
titled measures reported by other companies.

merger; potential adverse reactions or changes to business
relationships resulting from the completion of the merger with MPG;
our ability to protect our intellectual property and successfully
defend against assertions made against us; our ability to attract
and retain key associates; availability of financing for working
capital, capital expenditures, research and development (R&D)

suppliers' ability to comply with regulatory requirements and the
potential costs of such compliance; and other unanticipated events
and conditions that may hinder our ability to compete. It is not

Segment Financial
Information
|
|
In the first quarter
of 2019, we reorganized our business to disaggregate our former
Powertrain segment, with a portion moving to our Driveline segment
and a portion moving to our Metal Forming segment. As a result, our
business is now organized into Driveline, Metal Forming and Casting
segments. The Powertrain Sales and Segment Adjusted EBITDA amounts
previously reported for the three and six months ended on June 30,
2018 have been reclassified to Driveline and Metal Forming in the
tables below.

________________
(a)
|
We define EBITDA to
be earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and
amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA excluding
the impact of restructuring and acquisition-related costs, debt
refinancing and redemption costs, gain on sale of a business,
goodwill impairments and non-recurring items. We believe that
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are meaningful measures of performance
as they are commonly utilized by management and investors to
analyze operating performance and entity valuation. Our management,
the investment community and the banking institutions routinely use
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, together with other measures, to
measure our operating performance relative to other Tier 1
automotive suppliers. We also use Segment Adjusted EBITDA as the
measure of earnings to assess the performance of each segment and
determine the resources to be allocated to the segments. EBITDA and
Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as income from operations,
net income or cash flow from operating activities as determined
under GAAP. Other companies may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted
EBITDA differently.
|
|
|
(b)
|
We define Adjusted
earnings per share to be diluted earnings per share excluding the
impact of restructuring and acquisition-related costs, debt
refinancing and redemption costs, gain on sale of a business,
goodwill impairments and non-recurring items, including the tax
effect thereon. We believe Adjusted earnings per share is a
meaningful measure as it is commonly utilized by management and
investors in assessing ongoing financial performance that provides
improved comparability between periods through the exclusion of
certain items that management believes are not indicative of core
operating performance and which may obscure underlying business
results and trends. Other companies may calculate Adjusted
earnings per share differently.
|
|
|
(c)
|
We define free cash
flow to be net cash provided by operating activities less capital
expenditures net of proceeds from the sale of property, plant and
equipment. Adjusted free cash flow is defined as free cash
flow excluding the impact of cash payments for restructuring and
acquisition-related costs. We believe free cash flow and
Adjusted free cash flow are meaningful measures as they are
commonly utilized by management and investors to assess our ability
to generate cash flow from business operations to repay debt and
return capital to our stockholders. Free cash flow and
Adjusted free cash flow are also key metrics used in our
calculation of incentive compensation. Other companies may
calculate free cash flow and Adjusted free cash flow
differently.
