PLYMOUTH, Mich.--()--Horizon Global Corporation (NYSE: HZN), one of the world’s leading manufacturers of branded towing and trailering equipment, today reported financial results for the third quarter of 2020.

I want to thank each and every member of our global team for the tremendous efforts and leadership demonstrated during the third quarter of 2020 as we continued to navigate our way through an unprecedented macro-economic environment,” stated Terry Gohl, Horizon Global's President and Chief Executive Officer. “We made a commitment in March to accelerate the deployment of our operational improvement initiatives to ensure that we would emerge from the crisis as a stronger company. The team rose to the occasion and, as a result, we delivered on our customer commitments in a period of increased demand, leading to significant improvements in profitability and cash flow generation. While the business continues to improve each and every day, we are beginning to see the fruits of our labor and the third quarter of 2020 marks the first time in three years that we have generated positive net income.”

2020 Third Quarter Segment Results

Horizon Americas. Net sales increased $22.9 million, or 23.8%, to $119.1 million. Net sales increased by $10.9 million combined in the retail and e-commerce sales channels, $8.5 million in the aftermarket and $4.0 million combined in the automotive OEM and automotive OES sales channels. Gross profit increased $15.7 million due to higher net sales coupled with favorable manufacturing costs and efficiencies, lower scrap costs and inventory reserves. Horizon Americas generated operating profit of $13.2 million, an increase of $15.4 million compared to the prior year comparable period, driven by favorable gross profit as described above. Adjusted EBITDA(2) increased to $15.5 million for the quarter, as compared to $0.6 million for the prior year comparable period.

Horizon Europe-Africa. Net sales increased $0.9 million, or 1.1%, to $82.5 million. Net sales increased by $4.5 million in the aftermarket sales channel, partially offset by a $3.5 million decrease in the automotive OEM and automotive OES sales channels. Gross profit decreased $0.6 million, primarily attributable to $4.1 million of material cost and labor efficiencies, which was more than offset by a $4.3 million favorable prior year expense recovery related to a product liability settlement that did not recur. Horizon Europe-Africa generated operating profit of $2.4 million, representing an increase of $0.7 million driven by $1.4 million lower SG&A costs, partially offset by the unfavorable gross profit described above. Adjusted EBITDA(2) increased to $6.1 million for the quarter, as compared to $0.7 million for the prior year comparable period.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity. Cash and Availability(1) was $78.0 million, an increase of $17.1 million compared to the prior year comparable period. Working Capital(3) was $66.6 million, a reduction of $45.1 million compared to the prior year comparable period. Gross debt increased $28.6 million to $267.8 million over the prior year comparable period, primarily reflecting increased borrowings in the first two quarters of 2020 to strengthen liquidity in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Summary

Gohl commented, “We are experiencing an extension of our traditional peak selling season in North America with demand continuing to outpace prior years. Increased take rates in Europe are also favorably impacting our outlook for the remainder of 2020. The increase in demand for our products has resulted in a strong open order book that we expect to capitalize on in the fourth quarter. Our laser-like focus on operational throughput and delivery through lean manufacturing principles positions us to meet heightened demand levels, solidify ourselves as the established market leader and continue to expand our market share in a profitable manner in each of the geographies we serve. We expect all these efforts to create near- and long-term value for our employees, customers and shareholders.”

(1)

"Cash and Availability" refers to cash and cash equivalents and amounts of cash accessible but undrawn from credit facilities.

(2)

Please refer to “Company and Business Segment Financial Information” which details certain costs, expense, other charges, that are included in the determination of net income attributable to Horizon Global under GAAP, but that management would not consider important in evaluating the quality of the Company’s operating results. 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.

(3)

Working Capital defined as "total current assets" excluding "cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash", less "total current liabilities" excluding "current maturities, long-term debt" and "short-term operating lease liabilities".

Horizon Global Corporation
Company and Business Segment Financial Information
(Unaudited - dollars in thousands)

The Company’s management utilizes Adjusted EBITDA(2) 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(2) 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(2) that is prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA(2), 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 income (loss) to measure stand-alone segment performance.

Adjusted EBITDA(2) is defined as net income 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, impairment of goodwill and other intangibles, non-cash stock compensation, certain product liability recall and litigation claims, acquisition and integration costs, gains (losses) on business divestitures and other assets, board transition support and non-cash unrealized foreign currency remeasurement costs.

The following table summarizes Adjusted EBITDA(2) for our operating segments for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019:

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(1) 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.
