Horizon Global Reports Financial Results for First Quarter 2022
Horizon Global Corporation (NYSE: HZN) reported a challenging first quarter of 2022 with net sales of $180.9 million, down $18.3 million from the previous year. Gross profit decreased slightly to $20.2 million, while gross profit margin fell to 11.2% from 20.4%. The company experienced a net loss of $27.0 million, a $11.8 million decline year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA was $(6.6) million, down from $19.3 million. Supply chain issues, including semiconductor shortages and impacts from the Russia-Ukraine war, exacerbated these challenges. However, inventory levels remain robust as the selling season approaches.
- Inventory levels remain strong due to strategic build-up in Q4 2021 and Q1 2022.
- Expectations for improved performance in 2022 from pricing recoveries and softening material costs.
- Net sales decreased 10.1% year-over-year.
- Gross profit margin decreased significantly from 20.4% to 11.2%.
- Net loss of $27.0 million represents a $11.8 million deterioration.
- Supply chain disruptions, particularly from semiconductor shortages and the Russia-Ukraine war, negatively impacted production.

Summary
“During the past few years, we have taken a proactive approach to mitigate the impact of uncontrollable outside factors,” Gohl stated. “Material costs remain at the top of this list. We have fully implemented pricing recovery actions with our non-OE customers and have either implemented or remain in active discussions with our OE customers. We expect the benefit of our pricing actions to be fully recognized during 2022. This recovery, together with expected favorability in volumes and softening in steel and average freight cost inflation, should positively impact our performance in 2022.”
Gohl closed, “We are not pleased with our performance in the first quarter and we are determined to do a better job in addressing the very dynamic and ever-changing markets that we serve around the globe. I want to thank our employees and key stakeholders for their support as we take immediate action to improve our performance going forward.”

Appendix II
Reconciliation of Reported Revenue Growth
to Constant Currency Basis
(Unaudited)
We evaluate growth in our operations on both an as reported and a constant currency basis. The constant currency presentation, which is a non-GAAP measure, excludes the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We believe providing constant currency information provides valuable supplemental information regarding our growth, consistent with how we evaluate our performance. Constant currency revenue results are calculated by translating current year revenue in local currency using the prior year's currency conversion rate. This non-GAAP measure has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Our use of this term may vary from the use of similarly-titled measures by other issuers due to the potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation and differences due to items subject to interpretation.
