Superior Industries Reports Financial Results
For 2012 Second Quarter
VAN NUYS, CALIFORNIA -- August 3, 2012 -- Superior Industries International, Inc. (NYSE:SUP) today reported net income of $6.4 million, or $0.23 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2012. This compares with net income of $14.7 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2011.
For the 2012 second quarter, consolidated net sales increased 3 percent, to $215.1 million from $208.7 million in the comparable period a year ago. Unit shipments increased 14 percent to 3.3 million from 2.9 million in last year's second quarter. Gross profit was $15.7 million, or 7 percent of net sales, compared with $19.5 million, or 9 percent of net sales, in the comparable period a year ago.
The company said the average unit selling price decreased 10 percent in the second quarter of 2012, largely attributable to a decline in average aluminum price, which is generally passed through to customers, along with a weaker product mix and a decline in the value of the Mexican peso relative to the U.S. dollar. The decline in gross profit and margin percentage reflected the weaker product mix, along with manufacturing challenges in the U.S. and the negative impact from foreign currency rates. All manufacturing facilities operated at or near full capacity to meet the increase in unit volume. Higher operating costs in the U.S. offset a strong performance at the company's facilities in Mexico.
“I am pleased that our factories, especially our plants in Mexico, met a significant increase in demand for our product despite already operating at very high utilization rates,” said Steven J. Borick, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President. “However, when considering the ever-increasing product standards that we must meet in the context of today's pricing, we still are incurring significant operating and profitability challenges in our U.S. manufacturing facilities.
We continue to invest in capital equipment and talent to address these challenges and remain confident we can improve the performance of our U.S. plants that today remain critical to meeting the needs of our customers.”
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the 2012 second quarter were $7.5 million, or 3 percent of net sales, which compares to $6.4 million, or 3 percent of net sales, for the comparable period in 2011.
Consolidated income from operations decreased $4.7 million in the 2012 second quarter to $8.2 million, or 4 percent of net sales, from $12.9 million, or 6 percent of net sales, in the comparable period last year.
Income taxes for the second quarter were expense of $2.0 million, or 24 percent of pretax income, compared to a $1.1 million net benefit, or 8 percent of pretax income for the same period in 2011. The prior year benefit reflected an update in estimate for foreign taxes based on information received during the quarter.
At June 30, 2012, working capital was $344.6 million, including cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $212.3 million. At December 31, 2011, working capital was $335.7 million, including cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $192.9 million. Superior has no bank or other interest bearing debt.
First Half Results
Consolidated net sales for the first half of 2012 increased 5 percent to $417.5 million, from $398.3 million for the comparable period a year ago. Unit shipments for the first six months of 2012 increased 13 percent. The average selling price of wheels during the first half of 2012 decreased approximately 7 percent, primarily due to a decrease in the pass-through price of aluminum, as well as a weaker product mix and Mexican peso.
Consolidated gross profit for the first half of 2012 decreased to $32.8 million, or 8 percent of net sales, compared with $36.4 million, or 9 percent of net sales, for the comparable period a year ago. The decrease resulted from higher volume and continued plant operation at full capacity, as well as an unfavorable change in product mix. Certain factory costs, including repairs, maintenance, supplies, labor and fringe benefit costs were higher in first half of 2012 than in the prior year.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $14.4 million, or 3 percent of net sales for the first half of 2012, compared with $13.0 million, or 3 percent of net sales, for the comparable period in 2011.
Consolidated income from operations was $18.4 million, or 4 percent of net sales for the first half of 2012, versus $23.0 million, or 6 percent of net sales, in 2011.
The year-to-date 2012 income tax provision was $6.2 million compared to $2.1 million expense for the first half of 2011. The lower income tax rate in the prior year largely reflects the impact of the second quarter net tax benefit noted previously.
