At the end of the fourth quarter, Altra’s cash balance and availability under the revolving credit facility were $254.4 million and $295.5 million, respectively.

Management Comments 

“We ended the year with an exceptional fourth quarter marked by careful cost management, strong cash flow generation and significant progress de-levering the balance sheet,” said Carl Christenson, Altra’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “By leveraging our market position, diversified portfolio and demand improvements in several markets – including wind and class 8 trucks in China – we exceeded our revenue expectations for the quarter. Additionally, through our focus on cost containment and by leveraging Altra’s world-class business system, we grew margins and delivered excellent working capital performance in the quarter.

“On a full-year basis, the broad diversity of our end markets and our ability to act nimbly to control costs through the pandemic allowed us to deliver outstanding performance. We generated $263.5 million in Non-GAAP Adjusted free cash flow which allowed us to pay down $160 million of debt in 2020 and exit the year with Net Debt to Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA leverage below 3.2x – far exceeding our expectations and advancing us toward our historical levels of 2.0x to 3.0x.*

“What was abundantly clear through the events of 2020 is that our people are our greatest asset. I am incredibly proud of the resilience and agility demonstrated by the Altra team as they focused on maintaining safe working environments through a global pandemic while also serving our customers with our innovative solutions and delivering these exceptional financial results,” Christenson continued.

“As we look to the year ahead, our strategic priorities continue to be managing costs, driving margin enhancement, de-levering our balance sheet and positioning Altra to grow and thrive as a premier industrial company for the long term.”

Business Outlook

“We are taking a cautious approach to our initial outlook for 2021 due to the ongoing uncertainty related to the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and timing of a broad economic recovery,” continued Christenson. “We are hopeful that market conditions improve sooner than our guidance currently assumes and will revisit our outlook appropriately as we gain better visibility. We remain confident that we have the right talent, financial discipline and market strength to continue to navigate the current environment while advancing our strategic priorities to solidify Altra as a world-class premier industrial company.”

The following guidance reflects management’s best estimate and practical assessment of the financial impact of COVID-19 to the Company’s business, at this time. This guidance assumes the general industrial economy will not begin a full recovery until late in 2021. In addition, the guidance assumes that approximately $40 million of cost savings realized in 2020 will phase back in throughout 2021, with the full effect of the costs coming back by the second half of the year.

Altra is providing guidance for full year 2021 as follows:

• Full-year 2021 sales in the range of $1,790 million to $1,830 million
• GAAP diluted EPS in the range of $1.97 to $2.10
• Non-GAAP diluted EPS in the range of $2.95 to $3.15*
• Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA in the range of $370.0 million to $385.0 million*
• Tax rate for the full year of approximately 20% to 23% before discrete items
• Capital expenditures in the range of $45 million to $50 million
• Depreciation and amortization in the range of $120 million to $125 million
• Non-GAAP Adjusted Free cash flow in the range of $185 million to $210 million*

* Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The non-GAAP financial measures used in this release are utilized by management in comparing our operating performance on a consistent basis. We believe that these financial measures are appropriate to enhance the overall understanding of our underlying operating performance trends compared to historical and prospective periods and our peers. We believe that these measures provide important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to the Company's financial condition and results of operations as well as insight into the compliance with our debt covenants. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information calculated in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures presented above to our GAAP results has been provided in the financial tables included in this press release.

Non-GAAP Net Income, Non-GAAP Income From Operations, Non-GAAP Diluted Earnings Per Share, Non-GAAP Operating Income Margin, and Non-GAAP Diluted EPS Guidance

Non-GAAP Net Income, Non-GAAP Income From Operations, Non-GAAP Diluted Earnings Per Share, and Non-GAAP Diluted Earnings Per Share Guidance exclude acquisition related amortization expense, acquisition related expense, impairment of goodwill and intangible asset, acquisition related stock compensation expense, restructuring and consolidation costs, non-cash amortization of interest rate swap expense and other income or charges that management does not consider to be directly related to the Company’s core operating performance. Non-GAAP Diluted Earnings Per Share is calculated by dividing Non-GAAP Net Income by GAAP weighted average shares outstanding (diluted). Non-GAAP Operating Income Margin is calculated by dividing Non-GAAP Income From Operations by GAAP Net Sales.

Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, acquisition related amortization, acquisition related costs, restructuring costs, stock-based compensation, asset impairment and other income or charges that management does not consider to be directly related to the Company’s core operating performance.

Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA Margin

Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA by GAAP Net Sales.

Non-GAAP Free Cash Flow

Non-GAAP Free Cash Flow is calculated by deducting purchases of property, plant and equipment from net cash flows from operating activities.

Non-GAAP Adjusted Free Cash Flow

Non-GAAP Adjusted Free Cash Flow is calculated by adding back the payment for the interest rate swap settlement to Non-GAAP Free Cash Flow.

Non-GAAP Operating Working Capital

Non-GAAP Operating Working Capital is calculated by deducting accounts payable from net trade receivables plus inventories.

Net Debt

Net Debt is calculated by subtracting cash from total debt.

Forward-Looking Statements

All statements, other than statements of historical fact included in this release are forward-looking statements, as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements include, but are not limited to, any statement that may predict, forecast, indicate or imply future results, performance, achievements or events. Forward-looking statements can generally be identified by phrases such as “believes,” “expects,” “potential,” “continues,” “may,” “should,” “seeks,” “predicts,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “projects,” “estimates,” “plans,” “could,” “designed”, “should be,” and other similar expressions that denote expectations of future or conditional events rather than statements of fact. Forward-looking statements also may relate to strategies, plans and objectives for, and potential results of, future operations, financial results, financial condition, business prospects, growth strategy and liquidity, and are based upon financial data, market assumptions and management's current business plans and beliefs or current estimates of future results or trends available only as of the time the statements are made, which may become out of date or incomplete. Forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain, and investors must recognize that events could differ significantly from our expectations. These statements include, but may not be limited to, the statements under “Business Outlook,” and statements regarding (a) the Company’s strategic priorities continuing to be managing costs, driving margin enhancement, de-levering its balance sheet and positioning the Company to grow and thrive as a premier industrial company for the long term, (b) the Company taking a cautious approach to its initial outlook for 2021, (c) the Company being hopeful that market conditions improve sooner than guidance currently assumes and the Company’s plans to revisit its outlook appropriately as it gains better visibility, (d) the Company’s confidence regarding its talent, financial discipline and market strength to continue to navigate the current environment while advancing its strategic priorities to solidify the Company as a world-class premier industrial company and (e) assumptions underlying the Company’s guidance, including assumptions that the general industrial economy will not begin to recover until late in 2021 and that approximately $40 million of cost savings realized in 2020 will gradually phase back in throughout 2021, with the full effect of the costs coming back by the second half of the year. In addition to the risks and uncertainties noted in this release, there are certain factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by some of the statements made.

related to our relationships with strategic partners, (26) our ability to offset increased commodity and labor costs with increased prices, (27) risks associated with our exposure to variable interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, (28) swap counterparty credit risk, including interest rate swap contracts, cross-currency swap contracts and hedging arrangements, (29) risks associated with our exposure to renewable energy markets, (30) risks related to regulations regarding conflict minerals, (31) risks related to restructuring and plant consolidations, (32) risks related to our acquisition of A&S, including (a) the possibility that we may be unable to achieve expected synergies and operating efficiencies in connection with the transaction within the expected time-frames or at all and to successfully integrate A&S, (b) expected or targeted future financial and operating performance and results, (c) operating costs, customer loss and business disruption (including, without limitation, difficulties in maintaining relationships with employees, customers, clients or suppliers) being greater than expected following the transaction, (d) our ability to retain key executives and employees, (e) slowdowns or downturns in economic conditions generally and in the markets in which the A&S businesses participate specifically, (f) lower than expected investments and

inability to undertake certain corporate actions that otherwise could be advantageous to comply with certain tax covenants, (k) potential unknown liabilities and unforeseen expenses related to the acquisition and (l) the impact on our internal controls and compliance with the regulatory requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, (33) exposure to United Kingdom political developments,

unplanned repairs or equipment outages, (43) changes in the Company’s tax rates, including enactment of the 2017 Tax Act, or exposure to additional income tax liabilities or assessments, as well as audits by tax authorities, (44) the risks associated with the Company’s ability to successfully divest or otherwise dispose of businesses that that are deemed not to fit with our strategic plan or are not achieving the desired return on investment and (45) other risks, uncertainties and other factors described in the Company's quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and annual reports on Form 10-K and in the Company's other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) or in materials incorporated therein by reference. Except as required by applicable law, Altra does not intend to update or alter its forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
