NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

(AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE DATA)

 

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation — The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, except that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.  However, in the opinion of Accuride Corporation (“Accuride” or the “Company”), all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary to present fairly the condensed consolidated financial statements have been included.

 

The results of operations for the periods January 1, 2010 through February 26, 2010 for the Predecessor Company and February 26, 2010 through June 30, 2010 for the Successor Company are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2010.  The unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto disclosed in Accuride’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

 

Allocations of fair value to tangible and intangible assets, goodwill, pension obligations and deferred taxes are based upon preliminary valuation information.  It is anticipated that all necessary information will be available and the analysis will be completed during the third and fourth quarters of 2010.

 

Chapter 11 Proceedings — On October 8, 2009, Accuride and its domestic subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”).  Prior to filing for bankruptcy, we were in default under our prepetition senior credit facility and the indenture governing our prepetition senior subordinated notes due to our failure to comply with certain financial covenants in the prepetition senior credit facility and to make the $11.7 million interest payment due August 3, 2009 on our prepetition senior subordinated notes.  Beginning in July 2009, we entered into a series of amendments and temporary waivers with our senior lenders and forbearances with our prepetition noteholders related to these defaults, which prevented acceleration of the indebtedness outstanding under these debt instruments and enabled us to negotiate a financial reorganization to be implemented through the bankruptcy process with these key constituents prior to our bankruptcy filing.  On October 7, 2009, we entered into restructuring support agreements with the holders of approximately 57% of the principal amount of the loans outstanding under our prepetition senior credit facility and the holders of approximately 70% of the principal amount of our prepetition senior subordinated notes, pursuant to which the parties agreed to support a financial reorganization of Accuride and its domestic subsidiaries consistent with the terms set forth therein.

 

On November 18, 2009, we filed our Joint Plan of Reorganization and the related Disclosure Statement with the Bankruptcy Court.  All classes of creditors entitled to vote voted to approve the Plan of Reorganization.  A confirmation hearing for the Plan of Reorganization was held beginning on February 17, 2010.  At the confirmation hearing, we and all of our constituents reached a settlement to fully resolve all disputes related to the Plan of Reorganization and all of our key constituents agreed to support the Plan of Reorganization.  On February 18, 2010, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirming the Third Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization, which approved and confirmed the Plan of Reorganization, as modified by the confirmation order.  On February 26, 2010 (the “Effective Date”), the Plan of Reorganization became effective and we emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings. During the pendency of the bankruptcy, we operated our business as debtors-in-possession under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

Financial Statement Presentation

 

We have prepared the accompanying consolidated financial statements in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 852.  ASC 852 requires that the financial statements for the periods subsequent to a Chapter 11 filing separate transactions and events that are directly associated with the reorganization from the ongoing operations of the business.  Accordingly, all transactions (including, but not limited to, all professional fees, realized gains and losses and provisions for losses) directly associated with the reorganization of the business are reported separately in the financial statements as reorganization items, net.  The Predecessor Company recognized the following reorganization income (expense) in our financial statements:

Fresh-Start Reporting

 

Upon our emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings, we adopted fresh-start accounting in accordance with the provisions of ASC 852 Reorganizations (“ASC 852”), pursuant to which the midpoint of the range of our reorganization value was allocated to our assets and liabilities in conformity with the procedures specified by ASC 805, “Business Combinations.”

 

The following fresh-start balance sheet illustrates the financial effects on the Company of the implementation of the Plan of Reorganization and the adoption of fresh-start reporting.  This fresh-start balance sheet reflects the effect of the consummation of the transactions contemplated in the Plan of Reorganization, including issuance of new indebtedness and repayment and settlement of old indebtedness.

 

As a result of the adoption of fresh-start reporting, our consolidated statement of financial position and consolidated statements of operations subsequent to February 26, 2010, will not be comparable in many respects to our consolidated statement of financial position and consolidated statements of operations prior to February 26, 2010.  References to “Successor Company” refer to Accuride after February 26, 2010, after giving effect to the application of fresh-start reporting.  References to “Predecessor Company” refer to Accuride prior to February 26, 2010.

 

The allocations of fair value are based upon valuation information and other studies that have not yet been completed due to the complexity of the analysis required.  It is anticipated that all necessary information will be available and the analysis will be completed during the third and fourth quarters of 2010.

 

The preliminary effects of the Plan of Reorganization and fresh-start reporting on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of February 26, 2010 are as follows:

(a)                                  Included in the debt discharge and issuance is the receipt of the $140 million aggregate principal amount of convertible notes (as defined below), which was used to pay off the $71.1 million of Last-Out-Loans (as defined below) under our prepetition senior credit facility and our DIP facility (as defined below) of $25.0 million.  The net gain recognized is a result of the discharge of our prepetition senior subordinated notes of $275.0 million along with interest of $16.0 million being partially offset by the issuance of the convertible notes and the corresponding equity received from the Plan of Reorganization.

 

(b)                                 The liabilities subject to compromise other than debt were reinstated to the appropriate liability classification as part of the Plan of Reorganization.

 

(c)                                  The allocations of fair value are based upon preliminary valuation information and other studies that have not yet been completed due to the complexity of the analysis required.  It is anticipated that all necessary information will be available and the analysis will be completed during the third and fourth quarters of 2010.  Also included in this column is the adoption of the new accounting policy for supplies.

Postpetition Capital Structure

 

Pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, as of the Effective Date, our new capital structure consists of the following:

 

· Postpetition Senior Credit Facility — Our prepetition senior credit facility was amended and restated to provide for a senior credit facility of approximately $311.2 million.  All Last-Out-Loans under our prepetition senior credit facility were paid in full on the Effective Date.  On July 29, 2010, we refinanced the postpetition senior credit facility and the postpetition senior credit facility was terminated.  See Note 12, Subsequent Events.

 

· 7.5% Senior Convertible Notes — We issued $140 million aggregate principal amount of 7.5% Senior Convertible Notes due 2020 (the “convertible notes”) pursuant to a rights offering.  The first six interest payments on the convertible notes will be paid-in-kind (“PIK”) interest.  Thereafter, beginning on August 26, 2013, interest on the convertible notes will be paid in cash.   As of the Effective Date, the initial $140 million principal amount of convertible notes was convertible into 186,666,662 shares of our Common Stock.

 

· Common Stock and Warrants — We issued the following equity securities: (i) 98,000,000 shares of our postpetition common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), to holders of our prepetition senior subordinated notes, on a pro rata basis (ii) 25,000,000 shares of Common Stock to the parties backstopping the rights offering of convertible notes as payment of their backstop fee, (iii) 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock to holders of our prepetition common stock on a pro rata basis, (iv) warrants to purchase 22,058,824 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants”) to holders of our prepetition common stock on a pro rata basis and (v) 1,294,882 shares of Common Stock, net of shares withheld for tax purposes, under our Key Executive Incentive Plan.  The Warrants are exercisable at an exercise price of $2.10 per share until February 26, 2012.

 

Under the Plan of Reorganization, our prepetition common stock, all other equity interests in Accuride, our prepetition senior subordinated notes and the indenture governing our prepetition senior subordinated notes were cancelled.  The holders of these securities received the distributions described above. All amounts outstanding under the DIP credit facility were also paid in full on the Effective Date and the DIP credit facility was terminated in accordance with its terms.

 

Additionally, pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, we amended and restated our Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws to, among other things, reduce the size of our Board of Directors to seven directors.

 

Management’s Estimates and Assumptions — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments — We use derivative financial instruments as part of our overall risk management strategy as further described under Item 7A of our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  The derivative instruments used from time to time include interest rate and foreign exchange instruments. As of June 30, 2010, there were no derivatives that were designated as hedges for financial reporting purposes.

 

Interest Rate Instruments — From time to time, we use interest rate swap agreements as a means of fixing the interest rate on portions of our floating-rate debt.   The interest rate swap agreements are not designated as hedges for financial reporting purposes and are carried in the consolidated financial statements at fair value, with all realized and unrealized gains or losses reflected in current period earnings as a component of interest expense.  As of December 31, 2009, we had one interest rate swap agreement to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between 3.81% from March 2008 through March 2010, and the variable rate interest amounts calculated by reference to the notional principal amount of $125 million.  As of December 31, 2009, we had a liability of $1.1 million included in accrued and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.  On March 10, 2010 we terminated the swap agreement and paid the outstanding liability.

 

Gains and losses included as a component of interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, included realized losses of $1,006 and $1,854, respectively, and unrealized gains of $573 and $1,381, respectively.

Foreign Exchange Instruments — We use foreign currency forward contracts and option contracts to limit foreign exchange risk on anticipated but not yet committed transactions expected to be denominated in Canadian dollars. As of June 30, 2010, the notional amount of open foreign exchange contracts was $658.

 

Gains and losses are included as a component of other income and are not material in 2010.  Gains included as a component of other income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, included realized gains of $543 and $750, respectively and unrealized gains of $601 and $162, respectively.

 

Commodity Price Instruments — We use commodity price swap contracts to limit exposure to changes in certain raw material prices. Commodity price instruments, which do not meet the normal purchase exception, are not designated as hedges for financial reporting purposes and, accordingly, are carried in the financial statements at fair value, with realized and unrealized gains and losses reflected in current period earnings as a component of Cost of goods sold. At June 30, 2010, we had no open commodity price swaps or futures contracts.

The computation of dilutive earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2010 did not include warrants exercisable for 22,058,824 shares of common stock because the effect would be anti-dilutive.  For the period February 26, 2010 through June 30, 2010, there were warrants exercisable for 22,058,824 shares of common stock and convertible notes exercisable for 186,666,667 shares of common stock that were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would be anti-dilutive.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, there were 544,738 stock options, 1,117,113 stock appreciation rights, and a warrant exercisable for 12,249,529 shares that were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would be anti-dilutive.

On May 18, 2010 the Company authorized 1,829,517 shares of Common Stock for issuance pursuant to individual restricted stock unit agreements with employees of the Company.  The awards granted during 2010 vest in installments of 33%, 33%, and 34% over a three year period on the anniversary date of the grant.  As of June 30, 2010, there was approximately $1.8 million of unrecognized pre-tax compensation expense related to share-based awards not yet vested that will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.2 years.

 

Income Tax —We compute on a quarterly basis an estimated annual effective tax rate considering ordinary income and related income tax expense. Ordinary income refers to income (loss) before income tax expense excluding significant, unusual, or infrequently occurring items. The tax effect of an unusual or infrequently occurring item is recorded in the interim period in which it occurs. To the extent the Company cannot reliably estimate annual projected taxes for a taxing jurisdiction, taxes on ordinary income for such a jurisdiction are reported in the period in which they are incurred, which is the case for our domestic tax jurisdictions. Other items included in income tax expense in the periods in which they occur include the cumulative effect of changes in tax laws or rates, foreign exchange gains and losses, adjustments to uncertain tax positions, and adjustments to our valuation allowance due to changes in judgment in the realizability of deferred tax assets in future years.

 

We have assessed the need to maintain a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets based on an assessment of whether it is more likely than not that deferred tax benefits will be realized through the generation of future taxable income. Appropriate consideration is given to all available evidence, both positive and negative, in assessing the need for a valuation allowance. Due to our recent history of U.S. operating and taxable losses, the inconsistency of these profits, and the uncertainty of our financial outlook, we continue to maintain a full valuation allowance against our domestic deferred tax assets.

 

Recent Accounting Adoptions

 

ASC 855-10 - We adopted Subsequent Events topic in the FASB Accounting Standard Codification for the Quarterly Report for the period ended June 30, 2009.  Subsequent Events establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued, which are referred to as subsequent events. The statement clarifies existing guidance on subsequent events, including a requirement that a public entity should evaluate subsequent events through the issue date of the financial statements, the determination of when the effects of subsequent events should be recognized in the financial statement and disclosures regarding all subsequent events.  Adoption of the Subsequent Events topic did not have a material affect on our consolidated financial statements.

 

ASC 820 - In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued accounting guidance on interim disclosures about fair value of financial instruments.  This guidance amends previous guidance to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements.  This guidance also amends previous guidance to require disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods.  This guidance was effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009.  The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

ASC 810In June 2009, the FASB finalized SFAS No. 167, Amending FASB interpretation No. 46(R), which was later superseded by the FASB Codification and included in ASC topic 810. The provisions of ASC 810 provide guidance in determining whether an enterprise has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. This determination identifies the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity as the enterprise that has both the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impacts the entity’s economic performance, and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity. This pronouncement also requires ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary and eliminates the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary. New provisions of this pronouncement are effective January 1, 2010. The adoption of ASC 810 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-6, “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements,” which requires interim disclosures regarding significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements.

 

13



Table of Contents

 

Additionally, this ASU requires disclosure for each class of assets and liabilities and disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements. These disclosures are required for fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3. Further, the ASU requires separate presentation of Level 3 activity for the fair value measurements. We adopted the interim disclosure requirements under this standard during the quarter ended March 31, 2010, with the exception of the separate presentation in the Level 3 activity rollforward, which is not effective until fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years.

 

Note 2 — Operational Restructuring

 

Prior to 2010, in response to the slow commercial vehicle market and the decline of sales, management undertook a review of current operations that led to a comprehensive restructuring plan. During that time, we approved a restructuring plan to more appropriately align our workforce in response to the relatively slow commercial vehicle market.  Included were actions that were focused on the consolidation of several of our facilities.

Note 4 - Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

 

Goodwill and any indefinite-lived intangible assets are assessed for impairment annually or more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred.  The analysis of potential impairment of goodwill requires a two-step approach.  The first step is the estimation of fair value of each reporting unit, which is compared to the carrying value.  If step one indicates that impairment potentially exists, the second step is performed to measure the amount of impairment, if any.  Goodwill impairment exists when the implied fair value of goodwill is less than its carrying value.

 

The preliminary allocations of fair value to our reportable segments are based upon preliminary valuation information and have not yet been completed due to the complexity of the analysis required.  It is anticipated that the analysis will be completed during the third and fourth quarters of 2010.  During the period ending June 30, 2010, fair value estimates we recorded for tangible and intangible assets, deferred taxes and other liabilities, resulted in a $77.0 million change in allocated goodwill.  The changes in goodwill from February 26, 2010 to June 30, 2010 are as follows:

From January 1, 2010 to February 26, 2010 and during the period from February 26, 2010 to June 30, 2010, contributions of $0.9 million and $2.9 million have been made to our sponsored pension plans, respectively.  We presently anticipate contributing an additional $5.8 million to fund our pension plans during 2010.

 

Note 7 — Commitments and Contingencies

 

We are from time to time involved in various legal proceedings of a character normally incident to our business. We do not believe that the outcome of these proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of our operations.

 

As of June 30, 2010, we had an environmental reserve of approximately $1.5 million, related primarily to our foundry operations. This reserve is based on current cost estimates and does not reduce estimated expenditures to net present value, but does take into account the benefit of a contractual indemnity given to us by a prior owner of our wheel-end subsidiary. The failure of the indemnitor to fulfill its obligations could result in future costs that may be material. Any cash expenditures required by us or our subsidiaries to comply with applicable environmental laws and/or to pay for any remediation efforts will not be reduced or otherwise affected by the existence of the environmental reserve. We currently anticipate spending approximately $0.2 million per year in 2010 through 2013 for monitoring the various environmental sites associated with the environmental reserve, including attorney and consultant costs for strategic planning and negotiations with regulators and other potentially responsible parties, and payment of remedial investigation costs. Based on all of the information presently available to us, we believe that our environmental reserves will be adequate to cover the future costs related to the sites associated with the environmental reserves and that any additional costs will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, the discovery of additional sites, the modification of existing or the promulgation of new laws or regulations, more vigorous enforcement by regulators, the imposition of joint and several liability under CERCLA or analogous state laws or other unanticipated events could result in a material adverse effect.

 

The final Iron and Steel Foundry National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants, or NESHAP, was developed pursuant to Section 112(d) of the Clean Air Act and requires all major sources of hazardous air pollutants to install controls representative of maximum achievable control technology. We believe that our foundry operations are in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Iron and Steel Foundry NESHAP.

 

As of June 30, 2010, we had approximately 2,777 employees, of which 651 were salaried employees with the remainder paid hourly. Unions represent approximately 1,544 of our employees, which is approximately 56% of our total employees. We have collective bargaining agreements with several unions, including (1) the United Auto Workers, (2) the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, (3) the United Steelworkers, (4) the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, (5) the National Automobile, Aerospace, Transportation, and General Workers Union of Canada and (6) El Sindicato Industrial de Trabajadores de Nuevo Leon.

 

Each of our unionized facilities has a separate contract with the union that represents the workers employed at such facility. The union contracts expire at various times over the next few years with the exception of our union contract that covers the hourly employees at our Monterrey, Mexico, facility, which expires on an annual basis in January unless otherwise renewed. The 2010 negotiations in Monterrey and Elkhart have been completed.  During the remainder of 2010, we have

 

17



Table of Contents

 

contracts expiring at our Erie and Rockford facilities.  We do not anticipate that the outcome of the 2010 negotiations will have a material adverse effect on our operating performance or cost.

 

Note 8 — Financial Instruments

 

We have determined the estimated fair value amounts of financial instruments using available market information and other appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value.  A fair value hierarchy accounting standard exists for those instruments measured at fair value that distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and our own assumptions (unobservable inputs).  Determining which category an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy requires significant judgment.  We evaluate our hierarchy disclosures each quarter.

 

The hierarchy consists of three levels:

 

Level 1                        Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2                        Inputs other than Level 1 inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

Level 3                        Unobservable inputs developed using estimates and assumptions developed by us, which reflect those that a market participant would use.

 

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the relatively short maturity of these instruments. The fair value of debt at December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2010 was $400.9 million and $647.5 million, respectively.

Inputs that factor into the valuations for our warrants include the strike price of the warrants ($2.10 per common share), the market price of our common stock per share, dividend yield, volatility, risk-free rate, and the contractual term, which is two years from issuance. Inputs that factor into the market-based valuation model for the conversion option within our convertible notes include the market price of our common stock per share, volatility, the risk-free rate, and credit spread.

Note 9 — Segment Reporting

 

As a part of our continual monitoring of the long-term economic characteristics, products and production processes, class of customer, and distribution methods of our operating segments, we aggregate our seven operating segments into three reportable segments shown below. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as described in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

 

The fair values of our reportable segments are based upon preliminary valuation information which has not yet been completed due to the complexity of the analysis required. It is anticipated that the analysis will be completed during the third and fourth quarters of 2010. Due to the impact of this on our reportable segments, the information in the table below should be considered preliminary.

Pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, as of the Effective Date, our new capital structure consists of the following:

 

· Postpetition Senior Credit Facility — Our prepetition senior credit facility was amended and restated to provide for a senior credit facility of approximately $311.2 million. The interest rate for all loans will be, at our option, LIBOR + 6.75% (with a LIBOR floor of 3.00%) or Base Rate + 5.75% (with a Base Rate floor of 4.00%). The maturity for all

loans and reimbursements of draws under the letters of credit is June 30, 2013. As part of the amendment, the financial covenants in the prepetition senior credit facility were replaced with minimum liquidity and minimum EBITDA covenants and a maximum capital expenditure covenant. The postpetition senior credit facility is secured by, among other things, a lien on substantially all of our U.S. and Canadian properties, assets and domestic subsidiaries and a pledge of 65% of the stock of our foreign subsidiaries. All Last-Out-Loans under our prepetition senior credit facility were paid on the Effective Date.

 

On July 29, 2010, we refinanced the postpetition credit facility and the postpetition credit facility was terminated. See Note 12, Subsequent Events.

 

· 7.5% Senior Convertible Notes — We issued $140 million aggregate principal amount of convertible notes. The first six interest payments on the convertible notes will be PIK interest. Thereafter, beginning on August 26, 2013, interest on the convertible notes will be paid in cash.

 

The $140 million principal amount of convertible notes is convertible into 60% of our outstanding Common Stock (as defined below), on a diluted basis as provided for in the Plan of Reorganization. The convertible notes are convertible into common stock at an initial conversion rate of 1333.3333 per $1,000 principal amount of notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of $0.75 per share of common stock). The convertible notes are redeemable by the Company subject to the terms of the indenture governing the convertible notes.

 

The embedded conversion option is bifurcated and accounted for separately from the convertible debt. The conversion option is recorded at fair value and presented with the convertible notes on the consolidated balance sheet. Each period, the conversion option will be recorded at fair value with the corresponding non-cash gain or loss recognized in our consolidated statements of operations as a component of other income (expense). The increase in fair value from February 26, 2010 to June 30, 2010 was $31.2 million, and the decrease in fair value for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was $19.4 million.

 

· Common Stock and Warrants — We issued the following equity securities: (i) 98,000,000 shares of Common Stock to holders of our prepetition senior subordinated notes, on a pro rata basis (ii) 25,000,000 shares of Common Stock to the parties backstopping the rights offering of convertible notes as payment of their backstop fee, (iii) 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock to holders of our prepetition common stock on a pro rata basis, (iv) Warrants to purchase 22,058,824 shares of Common Stock to holders of our prepetition common stock on a pro rata basis and (v) 1,294,882 shares of Common Stock, net of shares withheld for tax purposes, under our Key Executive Incentive Plan.  The Warrants are exercisable at $2.10 per share until February 26, 2012, when they expire.

 

In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the Warrants were recorded as a liability at fair value on the Effective Date. Each period, the Warrants will be recorded at fair value with the corresponding non-cash gain or loss recognized in our consolidated statements of operations as a component of other income (expense).

 

Also under the Plan of Reorganization, our prepetition common stock, all other equity interests in Accuride, our prepetition senior subordinated notes and the indenture governing our prepetition senior subordinated notes (other than for the purposes of allowing holders of the notes to receive distributions under the Plan of Reorganization and allowing the trustees to exercise certain rights) were cancelled. The holders of these securities received the distributions described above pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization. All amounts outstanding under the DIP credit facility that we had entered into to provide financing during the pendency of our bankruptcy were also paid on the Effective Date and the DIP credit facility was terminated in accordance with its terms.

Note 11 — Guarantor and Non-guarantor Financial Statements

 

Our postpetition senior credit facility is secured by, among other things, a lien on substantially all of our U.S. and Canadian properties, assets and domestic subsidiaries (“Guarantor Subsidiaries”) and a pledge of 65% of the stock of our foreign subsidiaries.  Our convertible notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by substantially all of our 100% owned domestic subsidiaries. The non-guarantor subsidiaries are our foreign subsidiaries.   The following condensed financial information illustrates the composition of the combined Guarantor Subsidiaries:

Note 12 — Subsequent Events

 

On July 22, 2010, we priced $310 million aggregate principal amount of first priority senior secured notes due 2018 (the “Notes”) in a private placement that is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”).  The Notes were sold at a price equal to 97.288% of their face value.

 

                In connection with the private placement transaction, we entered into a new ABL Credit Agreement (the “ABL facility”).  The ABL facility is a senior secured asset based revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $75.0 million, with the right, subject to certain conditions, to increase the availability under the facility by up to $25.0 million in the aggregate (for a total aggregate availability of $100.0 million). The four-year ABL facility matures on July 29, 2014 and provides for loans and letters of credit in an aggregate amount up to the amount of the facility, subject to meeting certain borrowing base conditions, with sub-limits of up to $10.0 million for swingline loans and $25.0 million to be available for the issuance of letters of credit.  Loans under the ABL facility initially bears interest at an annual rate equal to either LIBOR plus 3.50% or Base Rate plus 2.50%, at our option, subject to changes based on our leverage ratio as defined in the ABL facility.

 

We must also pay a commitment fee equal to 0.50% per annum to the lenders under the ABL facility if utilization under the facility exceeds 50.0% of the total commitments under the facility and a commitment fee equal to 0.75% per annum if utilization under the facility is less than or equal to 50.0% of the total commitments under the facility. Customary letter of credit fees are also payable, as necessary.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and such principles are applied on a basis consistent with the information reflected in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC.  In the opinion of management, the interim financial information includes all adjustments and accruals, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments and adjustments related to fresh start accounting as noted in Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, which are necessary for a fair presentation of results for the respective interim periods.  The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2010 or any interim period.  Except for the historical information contained herein, this quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.  Our actual results may differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements.

 

Overview

 

We are one of the largest manufacturers and suppliers of commercial vehicle components in North America, offering one of the broadest product lines to the commercial vehicle industry. We believe that we have the number one or number two market position in a variety of heavy- and medium-duty commercial vehicle products including: steel wheels, forged aluminum wheels, brake drums, disc wheel hubs, metal bumpers and seating assemblies.  We market our products under some of the most recognized brand names in the industry, including Accuride, Bostrom, Brillion, Fabco, Gunite, Highway Original, and Imperial. We have long-standing relationships with the leading original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) and the related aftermarket channels in most major segments of the commercial vehicle market, including heavy- and medium-duty trucks, commercial trailers, light trucks, buses, as well as specialty and military vehicles.

 

Our primary product lines are standard equipment used by a majority of North American heavy- and medium-duty truck OEMs, providing us with a significant competitive advantage. We believe that a majority of all heavy- and medium-duty truck models manufactured in North America contain one or more Accuride components.

 

Our diversified customer base includes substantially all of the leading commercial vehicle OEMs, such as Daimler Truck North America, LLC, with its Freightliner and Western Star brand trucks, PACCAR, Inc., with its Peterbilt and Kenworth brand trucks, Navistar, Inc., with its International brand trucks, and Volvo Truck Corporation, with its Volvo and Mack brand trucks.  Our primary commercial trailer customers include leading commercial trailer OEMs, such as Great Dane Limited Partnership, Wabash National, Inc., and Utility Trailer, Inc.  Our major light truck customer is General Motors Corporation.  We have built relationships of more than 20 years with many of these leading OEM customers.  Our product portfolio is supported by strong sales, marketing and design engineering capabilities with 17 strategically located, technologically-advanced manufacturing facilities across the United States, Mexico, and Canada.

 

Recent global market and economic conditions have been unprecedented and challenging with tighter credit conditions and recession in most major economies which have continued into 2010.  As a result of these market conditions, the cost and availability of credit has been and may continue to be adversely affected by illiquid credit markets and wider credit spreads.  Concern about the stability of the markets generally and the strength of counterparties specifically has led many lenders and institutional investors to reduce, and in some cases, cease to provide credit to businesses and consumers.  These factors have led to a decrease in spending by businesses and consumers alike. Continued turbulence in the U.S. and international markets and economies and prolonged declines in business and consumer spending may adversely affect our liquidity and financial condition, and the liquidity and financial condition of our customers, including our ability to refinance maturing liabilities and access the capital markets to meet liquidity needs.

 

The heavy- and medium-duty truck and commercial trailer markets and the related aftermarket are the primary drivers of our sales. These markets are, in turn, directly influenced by conditions in the North American truck industry generally by conditions in other industries which indirectly impact the truck industry, such as the home-building industry, and by overall economic growth and consumer spending.  Accordingly, the current economic conditions described above have led to a severe and ongoing downturn in the North American truck and vehicle supply industries, which resulted in a significant decline in our sales volume and necessitated our bankruptcy filings in October 2009, as described above in Note 1.  Although current industry forecasts predict a modest improvement in commercial vehicle production in 2010, we cannot accurately predict how prolonged the current downturn may be.  This downturn may lead to further reduced spending and deterioration in the North American truck and vehicle supply industries for the foreseeable future. We emerged from

bankruptcy with reduced financial leverage and an improved capital structure, which we believe will better enable us to operate in this economic environment.  However, we continue to be a highly leveraged company, and a delayed or failed economic recovery would continue to have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

Using the commercial vehicle industry production forecasts by industry experts, we expect results from operations to improve in 2010 compared to 2009 due to increased demand for our product, improved operational efficiencies, and reduced fees and expenses related to our senior credit facilities and our Chapter 11 filing and emergence.

 

Results of Operations

 

Allocations of fair value to tangible and intangible assets, goodwill, pension obligations and deferred taxes are based upon preliminary valuation information.  It is anticipated that all necessary information will be available and the analysis will be completed during the third and fourth quarters of 2010.

 

In connection with our emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings and the adoption of fresh-start accounting, the results of operations for 2010 separately present the 2010 Successor Period and the 2010 Predecessor Period. Although the 2010 Successor Period and the 2010 Predecessor Period are distinct reporting periods, the effects of emergence and fresh-start accounting did not have a material impact on the comparability of our results of operations between the periods. Accordingly, references to 2010 results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2010 combine the two periods in order to enhance the comparability of such information to the prior year. A summary of our operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 and as a percentage of net sales is shown below:

Net Sales.  Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2010, were $195.6 million, which was an increase of 44.7%, compared to net sales of $135.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009.  The increase was due to increased product demand from both our OEM and aftermarket customers.

 

Gross Profit.  Gross profit increased $24.8 million to $15.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 due to the contribution from increased net sales, better capacity utilization with higher sales volumes and improvements in operating efficiencies.

 

Interest Expense.  Net interest expense decreased $5.4 million to $10.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from $15.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009.  This was mostly due to lower debt levels, which resulted in lower interest expense of approximately $3.2 million.  During 2009, we recognized $1.2 million in interest expenses related to warrant and debt issue cost amortization, which were not recognized during 2010.

Market Valuation — Conversion Option on Convertible Notes.  In connection with accounting guidance following the emergence from Chapter 11, we record the conversion option on our convertible notes at fair value.  Due to the decrease in value of the conversion option, we recorded income of $19.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2010.  We expect these unrealized, non-cash gains or losses to continue as the fair value of the conversion option fluctuates.

 

Net Income.  We had net income of $6.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to a net loss of $36.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009.  The primary reasons for the improvement are improved gross profit margins related to increased net sales and operating efficiencies and non-cash market valuation gain for the conversion option on our convertible debt.

Net Sales.  Combined net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2010, were $364.6 million, which was an increase of 30.8%, compared to net sales of $278.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009.  The increase was due to increased product demand from both our OEM and aftermarket customers.

 

Gross Profit.  Gross profit increased $34.9 million to $25.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 due to the contribution from increased net sales, better capacity utilization with higher sales volumes and improvements in operating efficiencies.

 

Interest Expense.  Net interest expense decreased $7.7 million to $21.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from $28.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009.  This was mostly due to not recognizing interest related to our prepetition senior subordinated notes that were cancelled as part of our Plan of Reorganization and having a reduced net debt position as a result of our Plan of Reorganization.

 

Market Valuation — Conversion Option on Convertible Notes.  In connection with accounting guidance following the emergence from Chapter 11, we record the conversion option on our convertible notes at fair value.  Due to the increase in value of the conversion option, we recorded a charge to income of $31.2 million during 2010.  We expect these unrealized, non-cash gains or losses to continue as the fair value of the conversion options fluctuates.

 

Reorganization Items.  ASC 852 requires the recognition of certain transactions directly related to the reorganization as reorganization expense or income in the statement of operations. The reorganization gain of $59.3 million for 2010 consisted

of $25.0 million professional fees directly related to reorganization and an $84.3 million gain on the discharge and issuance of our debt instruments.

 

Net Income.  We had net income of $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to a net loss of $67.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009.  The primary reasons for the improvement are the improved gross profit on higher sales volumes, the net of one-time items related to the debt discharge, and the non-cash market valuation charge for the conversion option on our convertible notes.

 

Changes in Financial Condition

 

At June 30, 2010, the Successor Company had total assets of $866.0 million, as compared to the Predecessor Company’s total assets of $671.7 million at December 31, 2009.  The $194.3 million, or 28.9%, increase in total assets primarily resulted from changes from the fair valuation of the Company’s assets by adopting fresh start accounting in accordance with ASC 852, as well as changes in working capital.  We define working capital as current assets (excluding cash and debt) less current liabilities.  During the six months ended June 30, 2010, property, plant and equipment increased by $49.3 million, other intangible assets increased by $152.6 million and goodwill decreased by $13.1 million for changes in the allocation of fair values as of February 26, 2010.  Since the allocation of fair value is still preliminary, additional changes are expected in the third and fourth quarters of this year.

 

We use working capital and cash flow measures to evaluate the performance of our operations and our ability to meet our financial obligations. We require working capital investment to maintain our position as a leading manufacturer and supplier of commercial vehicle components.  We continue to strive for aligning our working capital investment with our customers’ purchase requirements and our production schedules.

Significant changes in working capital included:

·            an increase in receivables of $28.3 million due to the comparative increase in revenue in the months leading up to the respective period-end dates;

·            an increase in inventory of $17.0 million due to increase in sales demand;

·            a decrease in other current assets of $17.7 million due to the adoption of a new accounting policy for supplies as part of the fresh-start reporting;

·            an increase of accounts payable of $27.6 million primarily due to the increase in raw material purchases in the months leading up to the respective period-end dates.

 

Capital Resources and Liquidity

 

Our primary sources of liquidity during the periods January 1, 2010 through February 26, 2010 for the Predecessor Company and February 26, 2010 through June 30, 2010 for the Successor Company were cash reserves and the debt instruments entered into in connection with our emergence from bankruptcy.  We believe that cash from operations, existing cash reserves, and availability under our new ABL facility will provide adequate funds for our working capital needs, planned capital expenditures and debt service obligations through 2010 and the foreseeable future.

 

29



Table of Contents

 

Our ability to fund working capital needs, planned capital expenditures, scheduled debt payments, and to comply with any financial covenants under our new ABL facility, depends on our future operating performance and cash flow, which in turn, are subject to prevailing economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors, some of which are beyond our control.

 

Operating Activities

 

Net cash used in operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $43.1 million. The primary drivers of the use in cash were $31.9 million of cash payments for reorganization items and $14.7 million of increased working capital assets. During a period of increasing sales demand, our working capital needs also rise.

 

Investing Activities

 

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $9.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010.  Our most significant cash outlays for investing activities are the purchases of property, plant and equipment.  Capital expenditures for 2010 are expected to be approximately $20 million, which we expect to fund through existing cash reserves.  Due to the continued challenges facing our industry and the economy as a whole, we are managing our capital expenditures very closely in order to preserve liquidity throughout 2010 while still maintaining our production capacity and making investments necessary to meet competitive threats and to seize upon growth opportunities.

 

Financing Activities

 

Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $48.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010.  Included in this amount are the impacts from the Plan of Reorganization of satisfying our prepetition senior credit facility of $305.8 million, our revolving credit facility of $71.7 million, and the DIP facility of $25.0 million.  Also included are proceeds from the $140 million aggregate principal amount of convertible notes we issued and the $310.5 million postpetition senior credit facility we entered into upon emergence from bankruptcy.

 

Postpetition Senior Credit Facility

 

On the Effective Date of the Plan of Reorganization, we entered into the fifth amendment and restatement to our prepetition senior credit facility (the “postpetition senior credit facility”).  As of the Effective Date, under our postpetition senior credit facility Accuride had outstanding term loans of $287,019,628 and outstanding letters of credit in the stated amount of $2,000,000 and Accuride Canada Inc. had outstanding term loans of $22,000,000.  As of June 30, 2010, Accuride had $288,519,629 of outstanding term loans, outstanding letters of credit in the stated amount of $350,000 and Accuride Canada Inc. had outstanding term loans of $22,000,000.  The interest rate for all loans was, at our option, LIBOR + 6.75% (with a LIBOR floor of 3.00%) or Base Rate + 5.75% (with a Base Rate floor of 4.00%).  The maturity for all loans and reimbursements of draws under the letters of credit was June 30, 2013.

 

With certain exceptions, our postpetition senior credit facility required us to prepay loans with (i) 100% of excess cash flow (commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010), (ii) 100% of net proceeds from asset sales, (iii) 100% of new proceeds from new debt issuances, (iv) 100% of net cash proceeds from equity issuances and (v) 100% of cash received by us from third parties that are holding cash from letters of credit that they have drawn.

 

The loans under our postpetition senior credit facility were secured by, among other things, a lien on substantially all of our U.S. and Canadian properties, assets and domestic subsidiaries and a pledge of 65% of the stock of our foreign subsidiaries.

 

On July 29, 2010, as described below under “—Refinancing—The ABL Facility,” we refinanced the postpetition senior credit facility and the postpetition senior credit facility was terminated.

 

Postpetition Senior Convertible Notes

 

On the Effective Date, we issued $140 million aggregate principal amount of convertible notes and entered into the indenture governing the convertible notes, dated the Effective Date.  Under the terms of the indenture, the convertible notes bear interest at a rate of 7.5% per annum and will mature on February 26, 2020.  The first six interest payments will be PIK interest.  Thereafter, beginning on August 26, 2013, interest on the convertible notes will be paid in cash.

 

30



Table of Contents

 

The convertible notes are convertible into Common Stock at any time beginning on the Effective Date until the second business day preceding maturity, at an initial conversion rate of 1333.3333 per $1,000 principal amount of notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of $0.75 per share of Common Stock).  The conversion rate is subject to customary adjustments and will also be adjusted to account for PIK interest.  The adjustment to the conversion rate for convertible notes issued as PIK interest serves to prevent the convertible notes outstanding immediately prior to the PIK interest payment from being diluted by the notes paid as PIK interest.

 

The convertible notes are redeemable by the Company, in whole but not in part, at any time on or after February 26, 2013, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the convertible notes to be redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid interest up to the redemption date; provided, that (i) the Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange, (ii) the average weekly trading volume of the Common Stock as reported by such national securities exchange during the four week period prior to conversion is at least 3.0% of the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately prior to conversion and (iii) for twenty of the preceding thirty consecutive trading days, the Common Stock has had a closing sale price at least equal to 2.25 times the effective conversion price.

 

Refinancing

 

On July 29, 2010, we completed an offering of $310.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes and entered into the ABL facility. We used the net proceeds from the offering of the senior secured notes, $15.0 million of borrowings under the ABL facility and cash on hand to refinance our postpetition senior credit facility and to pay related fees and expenses (the “Refinancing”).

 

The ABL Facility

 

In connection with the Refinancing, we entered into a new ABL Credit Agreement (the “ABL facility”).  The ABL facility is a senior secured asset based revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $75.0 million, with the right, subject to certain conditions, to increase the availability under the facility by up to $25.0 million in the aggregate (for a total aggregate availability of $100.0 million). The four-year ABL facility matures on July 29, 2014 and provides for loans and letters of credit in an aggregate amount up to the amount of the facility, subject to meeting certain borrowing base conditions, with sub-limits of up to $10.0 million for swingline loans and $25.0 million to be available for the issuance of letters of credit.  Loans under the ABL facility initially bears interest at an annual rate equal to either LIBOR plus 3.50% or Base Rate plus 2.50%, at our option, subject to changes based on our leverage ratio as defined in the ABL facility.

 

We must also pay a commitment fee equal to 0.50% per annum to the lenders under the ABL facility if utilization under the facility exceeds 50.0% of the total commitments under the facility and a commitment fee equal to 0.75% per annum if utilization under the facility is less than or equal to 50.0% of the total commitments under the facility. Customary letter of credit fees are also payable, as necessary.

 

The obligations under the ABL facility are secured by (i) first-priority liens on substantially all of the Company’s accounts receivable and inventories, subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens (the “ABL Priority Collateral”) and (ii) second-priority liens on substantially all of the Company’s owned real property and tangible and intangible assets other than the ABL Priority Collateral, including all of the outstanding capital stock of our domestic subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens (the “Notes Priority Collateral”).

 

Senior Secured Notes

 

Also in connection the Refinancing, we issued $310.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes.  Under the terms of the indenture governing the senior secured notes, the senior secured notes bear interest at a rate of 9.5% per year and mature on August 1, 2018.   Prior to maturity we may redeem the senior secured notes on the terms set forth in the indenture governing the senior secured notes. The senior secured notes are guaranteed by the Guarantors, and the senior secured notes and the related guarantees are secured by first priority liens on the Notes Priority Collateral and second priority liens on the ABL Priority Collateral.

 

Restrictive Debt Covenants.  Our credit documents (the ABL facility and the indentures governing the convertible notes and the senior secured notes) contain operating covenants that limit the discretion of management with respect to certain business matters. These covenants place significant restrictions on, among other things, the ability to incur additional debt, to pay dividends, to create liens, to make certain payments and investments and to sell or otherwise dispose of assets and merge or consolidate with other entities.  In addition, the ABL facility contains a financial covenant which requires us to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio during any compliance period, which is any time when the excess availability is less than or equal to the greater of $10.0 million or 15 percent of the total commitment under the ABL facility.  Due to the amount of our excess availability (as

 

31



Table of Contents

 

calculated under the ABL facility), the Company is not currently in a compliance period and we do not have to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio, although this is subject to change.

 

We continue to operate in a challenging economic environment and our ability to maintain liquidity and comply with our debt covenants may be affected by economic or other conditions that are beyond our control and which are difficult to predict.  The 2010 production forecasts by ACT Publications for the significant commercial vehicle markets that we serve, as of July 10, 2010, are as follows:

 

North American Class 8

 

149,601

 

North American Classes 5-7

 

109,307

 

U.S. Trailers

 

107,450

 

 

Based on the these production builds, we expect to comply with any financial covenants we may become subject to and believe that our liquidity will be sufficient to fund currently anticipated working capital, capital expenditures, and debt service requirements for at least the next twelve months.  However, if our net sales are significantly less than expectations, given the volatility and the calendarization of the production builds as well as the other markets that we serve, or due to the challenging credit markets, we could violate any such financial covenants or have insufficient liquidity.  In the event of noncompliance, we would pursue an amendment or waiver.  However, no assurances can be given that those forecasts will be accurate.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements.  We do not currently have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.  From time to time we may enter into operating leases, letters of credit, or take-or-pay obligations related to the purchase of raw materials that would not be reflected in our balance sheet.

 

Recent Developments

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-6, “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements,” which requires interim disclosures regarding significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. Additionally, this ASU requires disclosure for each class of assets and liabilities and disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements. These disclosures are required for fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3. Further, the ASU requires separate presentation of Level 3 activity for the fair value measurements. We adopted the interim disclosure requirements under this standard during the quarter ended March 31, 2010, with the exception of the separate presentation in the Level 3 activity rollforward, which is not effective until fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.  We have made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of results of operations and financial position in the preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions.  We included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 a discussion of our most critical accounting policies, which are those that have a material impact on our financial condition or operating performance and require management’s most difficult, subjective and complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.  Upon our emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings, we adopted fresh-start accounting in accordance with the provisions of ASC 852 Reorganizations (“ASC 852”), which requires significant estimates and assumptions related to the fair value of our assets and liabilities.  The allocations of fair value are based upon preliminary valuation information and analysis that have not yet been completed.  It is anticipated that all necessary information will be available and our analysis will be completed during the third and fourth quarters of 2010.

 

Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

In this report, we have made various statements regarding current expectations or forecasts of future events, which speak only as of the date the statements, are made.  These statements are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of that term in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  Forward-looking statements are also made from time-to-time in press releases and in oral statements made by the officers of Accuride.  Forward-looking statements are identified by the words “estimate,” “project,” “anticipate,” “will continue,” “will likely

Table of Contents

 

result,” “expect,” “intend,” “believe,” “plan,” “predict” and similar expressions.  Forward looking statements also include, but are not limited to, statements regarding commercial vehicle market recovery, projections of revenue, income, loss, or working capital, capital expenditure levels, ability to mitigate rising raw material costs through increases in selling prices, plans for future operations, financing needs, the ultimate outcome and impact of any litigation against Accuride, the sufficiency of our capital resources and plans and assumptions relating to the foregoing.

 

Such forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and estimates, which although believed to be reasonable, may turn out to be incorrect.  Therefore, undue reliance should not be placed upon these estimates and statements.  We cannot assure that any of these statements, estimates, or beliefs will be realized and actual results may differ from those contemplated in these “forward-looking statements.”  We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.  You are advised to consult further disclosures we may make on related subjects in our filings with the SEC.  In addition to other factors discussed in this report, some of the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include, without limitation, the following:

 

·                  current economic conditions, including those related to the credit markets and the commercial vehicle industry, may have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations;

·                  we rely on, and make significant operational decisions based in part upon, industry data and forecasts that may prove to be inaccurate;

·                  the failure to realize cost savings under our cost restructuring plan could adversely affect our business;

·                  we are dependent on sales to a small number of our major customers and on our status as standard supplier on certain truck platforms of each of our major customers;

·                  increased cost or reduced supply of raw materials and purchased components may adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition;

·                  our business is affected by the seasonality and regulatory nature of the industries and markets that we serve;

·                  cost reduction and quality improvement initiatives by original equipment manufacturers could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition;

·                  we operate in highly competitive markets;

·                  we face exposure to foreign business and operational risks including foreign exchange rate fluctuations and if we were to experience a substantial fluctuation, our profitability may change;

·                  we may not be able to continue to meet our customers’ demands for our products and services;

·                  equipment failures, delays in deliveries or catastrophic loss at any of our facilities could lead to production or service curtailments or shutdowns;

·                  we may incur potential product liability, warranty and product recall costs;

·                  work stoppages or other labor issues at our facilities or at our customers’ facilities could have a material adverse effect on our operations;

·                  we are subject to a number of environmental rules and regulations that may require us to make substantial expenditures;

·                  we might fail to adequately protect our intellectual property, or third parties might assert that our technologies infringe on their intellectual property;

·                  litigation against us could be costly and time consuming to defend;

·                  substantially all the members of our Board of Directors have been associated with the Company for a relatively short period of time;

·                  if we fail to retain our executive officers, our business could be harmed;

·                  we have entered into typical severance arrangements with certain of our senior management employees, which may result in certain costs associated with strategic alternatives;

·                  our products may be rendered obsolete or less attractive by changes in regulatory, legislative or industry requirements;

·                  our strategic initiatives may be unsuccessful, may take longer than anticipated, or may result in unanticipated costs;

·                  our substantial leverage and significant debt service obligations could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or our ability to fulfill our obligations and make it more difficult for us to fund our operations;

·                  despite our substantial leverage, we and our subsidiaries will be able to incur more indebtedness. This could further exacerbate the risk immediately described above, including our ability to service our indebtedness;

·                  to service our indebtedness, we will require a significant amount of cash. Our ability to generate cash depends on many factors beyond our control; and

·                  we are subject to a number of restrictive covenants, which, if breached, may restrict our business and financing activities.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

In the normal course of doing business, we are exposed to risks associated with changes in foreign exchange rates, raw material/commodity prices, and interest rates.  We use derivative instruments to manage these exposures.  The objectives for holding derivatives are to minimize the risks using the most effective methods to eliminate or reduce the impacts of these exposures.

 

Foreign Currency Risk

 

Certain forecasted transactions, assets, and liabilities are exposed to foreign currency risk. We monitor our foreign currency exposures to maximize the overall effectiveness of our foreign currency derivatives. The principal currency of exposure is the Canadian dollar. From time to time, we use foreign currency financial instruments to offset the impact of the variability in exchange rates on our operations, cash flows, assets and liabilities. As of June 30, 2010, the notional amount of open foreign exchange contracts was $658.

 

Foreign currency derivative contracts provide only limited protection against currency risks. Factors that could impact the effectiveness of our currency risk management programs include accuracy of sales estimates, volatility of currency markets and the cost and availability of derivative instruments.

 

The counterparty to the foreign exchange contracts is a financial institution with an investment grade credit rating. The use of forward contracts protects our cash flows against unfavorable movements in exchange rates, to the extent of the amount under contract.

 

Raw Material/Commodity Price Risk

 

We rely upon the supply of certain raw materials and commodities in our production processes, and we have entered into firm purchase commitments for certain metals and natural gas. Additionally, from time to time, we use commodity price swaps and futures contracts to manage the variability in certain commodity prices on our operations and cash flows. At June 30, 2010, we had no open commodity price swaps or futures contracts.

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

We use long-term debt as a primary source of capital. The following table presents the principal cash repayments and related weighted average interest rates by maturity date for our long-term fixed-rate debt and other types of long-term debt at June 30, 2010:

The carrying value of our $140 million aggregate principal amount of convertible notes is disclosed on our condensed consolidated balance sheet at $319.4 million, which considers the fair value of the conversion option and accrued PIK interest, as of June 30, 2010.  The table above represents the face value of the debt instrument with a fixed rate of interest of 7.5%.

 

We have used interest rate swaps to alter interest rate exposure between fixed and variable rates on a portion of our long-term debt.  As of December 31, 2009, we had one interest rate swap agreement to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between 3.81% from March 2008 through March 2010, and the variable rate interest amounts calculated by reference to the notional principal amount of $125 million.  As of December 31, 2009, we had a liability of $1.1 million included in accrued and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.  On March 10, 2010 we terminated the swap agreement and paid the outstanding liability.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s

 

34



Table of Contents

 

rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

 

As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.  There have been no changes to our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

 

Neither Accuride nor any of our subsidiaries is a party to any legal proceeding which, in the opinion of management, would have a material adverse effect on our business or financial condition.  However, we from time-to-time are involved in ordinary routine litigation incidental to our business, including actions related to product liability, contractual liability, intellectual property, workplace safety and environmental claims.  We establish reserves for matters in which losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated.  While we believe that we have established adequate accruals for our expected future liability with respect to our pending legal actions and proceedings, we cannot assure you that our liability with respect to any such action or proceeding would not exceed our established accruals.  Further, we cannot assure that litigation having a material adverse affect on our financial condition will not arise in the future.
