PLYMOUTH, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Horizon Global Corporation (NYSE: HZN), one of the leading manufacturers of branded towing and trailering equipment, today reported fourth quarter and full year financial results for 2021.

“Our Q4 and full year 2021 financial performance is consistent with the preliminary results communicated in mid-February,” stated Terry Gohl, Horizon Global’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our net sales during Q4 2021 were significantly impacted by macroeconomic headwinds, including supply chain, logistics and material constraints, which resulted in approximately $31.0 million of delayed sales as we exited the quarter. In addition, increased steel and freight costs, up approximately 145% and 209%, respectively, in the Americas, and operational inefficiencies relating to last minute OEM production changes drove lower gross profit and Adjusted EBITDA levels.”

Gohl continued, “While our pricing actions to recover material economics are largely complete, implementation of pricing generally lags one to two quarters and, as a result, will be recognized in 2022. The previously mentioned macroeconomic headwinds, coupled with a strategic build of high-volume SKUs ahead of the 2022 selling season, drove a substantial increase in inventories at year-end. Inventories are expected to return to more normalized levels as we reduce purchases in 2022 and, importantly, deliver against both our Americas year-end open order book of $57.1 million and expected demand during the 2022 selling season.”

2021 Fourth Quarter Segment Results

Horizon Americas. Net sales increased $5.6 million, or 5.8%, to $102.4 million when compared to the fourth quarter of 2020. The net sales increase was primarily driven by a $6.0 million combined increase in the retail and industrial sales channels. Gross profit decreased $6.7 million, driven by unfavorable cost performance, primarily attributable to unfavorable material, supply chain and other manufacturing input costs, partially offset by related customer price increases, associated with global macroeconomic factors. Adjusted EBITDA(1) decreased to $3.5 million for the quarter, as compared to $10.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2020, driven primarily by the unfavorable gross profit.

Horizon Europe-Africa. Net sales decreased $17.2 million, or 21.7%, to $61.9 million when compared to the fourth quarter of 2020. The net sales decrease was primarily driven by a $12.5 million decrease in the automotive OEM sales channel, as well as a $5.5 million combined decrease in the automotive OES and aftermarket sales channels. Gross profit decreased $10.2 million, due to lower net sales, coupled with unfavorable material, supply chain and other manufacturing input costs associated with global macroeconomic factors, which were not able to be fully recovered via commercial pricing recoveries. Adjusted EBITDA(1) declined to $(7.0) million for the quarter, as compared to $2.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2020, driven by the unfavorable gross profit.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity. Cash and Availability(2) was $39.2 million, a reduction of $44.2 million compared to December 31, 2020. Working Capital(3) was $108.8 million, an increase of $53.2 million compared to December 31, 2020, primarily driven by increased inventory levels. The increased inventory was attributable to global macroeconomic factors, including increased commodity and logistics costs, and supply chain and material constraints. Gross debt increased $34.8 million to $300.9 million compared to December 31, 2020, primarily reflecting additional borrowings on the Company's ABL, due to additional working capital needs.

Summary

Gohl commented, “Horizon Global’s 2021 performance did not meet our expectations. This performance was driven by an extremely challenging back half of the year as supply chain, logistics and material constraints throttled our net sales levels and drove significantly higher input costs. These constraints will not disappear overnight, but we view them as relatively short-term and believe we are positioned to deliver strong financial results as 2022 progresses. Our inventory position will allow us to address our open order book and continued heightened demand. Expected lower steel costs and the implementation of a multi-port strategy should result in lower input costs during 2022. Further, commercial pricing recovery recognized throughout 2022 should further bolster gross profit levels."

Gohl closed, "I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the global team for their continued dedication throughout unprecedented circumstances. The foundation of our business is solid and we remain focused on creating long-term value for shareholders.”

Company and Business Segment Financial Information

(Unaudited - dollars in thousands)

 

The Company’s management utilizes Adjusted EBITDA as the key measure of company and segment performance and for planning and forecasting purposes, as management believes this measure is most reflective of the operational profitability or loss of the Company and its operating segments and provides management and investors with information to evaluate the operating performance of its business and is representative of its performance used to measure certain of its financial covenants. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income attributable to Horizon Global, which is the most directly comparable financial measure to Adjusted EBITDA that is prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA, as determined and measured by Horizon Global, should also not be compared to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The Company also uses operating profit (loss) to measure stand-alone segment performance.

 

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Horizon Global before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and before certain items, as applicable, such as severance, restructuring, relocation and related business disruption costs, gains (losses) on extinguishment of debt, impairment of goodwill and other intangibles, non-cash stock compensation, certain product liability and litigation claims, acquisition and integration costs, gains (losses) on business divestitures and other assets, debt issuance costs, board transition support and non-cash unrealized foreign currency remeasurement costs.

Appendix II

Horizon Global Corporation

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 U.S. 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.
