VIASYSTEMS ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER 2013 RESULTS

ST. LOUIS, November 6, 2013 – Viasystems Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:VIAS), a leading provider of complex multi-layer printed circuit boards and electro-mechanical solutions, today announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2013.

Highlights

“I am encouraged by our achievement of the sequential sales growth we targeted for the quarter,” commented David M. Sindelar, Chief Executive Officer of Viasystems. “Each of our end markets showed signs of improvement, with the exception of our military and aerospace end market, which has been affected by the U.S. government budget issues.”

“Order intake in the first nine months of 2013 exceeded sales by almost 5%,” continued Sindelar. “Further, orders received in the third quarter were consistent with orders received during the prior quarter, exceeding our third quarter sales by about 2%. Subject to normal yearend holiday slowdowns, I expect our fourth quarter sales level to be consistent with our most recent result.”

“While we have expended substantial resources to regain our targeted sales run rate and are pleased with the results so far, our primary focus in the near term must now turn to improving our cost profile, concluded Sindelar.

Financial Results

The company reported net sales of $309.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The year-over-year decrease of 5.6% was primarily the result of reduced demand for electro-mechanical solutions products from the company’s industrial & instrumentation end market, and for printed circuit board products from the company’s computer and datacommunications end market and its military and aerospace end market. The company attributes this to the effects of i) softening global economic conditions, ii) reduced manufacturing capacity due to the relocation of the company’s printed circuit board factory in Anaheim, California, iii) loss of business related to a September 2012 fire in one of the company’s printed circuit board factories in China, and iv) reduced sales volume and dollars due to price competition. Sequentially, net sales increased 8.3% in comparison to the second quarter of 2013. The sequential sales increase was driven by improved demand in all markets except the company’s military and aerospace end market.

Cost of goods sold (excluding items shown separately in the income statement) as a percent of net sales was 82.1% for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, compared to 80.0% in the corresponding quarter a year ago, and compared to 81.4% in the immediately preceding quarter ended June 30, 2013. The primary contributors to the sequential increase were i) the higher level of Assembly segment sales as a percentage of total net sales, ii) increased costs of employment in China, iii) increased out-bound, expedited freight costs, and iv) manufacturing inefficiencies associated with relocating the company’s Anaheim, California printed circuit board factory.

Operating income was $6.4 million, or 2.1% of net sales, in the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared with $4.4 million, or 1.3% of net sales, for the third quarter of 2012, and compared with $4.5 million, or 1.6% of net sales, for the three months ended June 30, 2013.

Adjusted EBITDA, on a non-GAAP basis, was $32.9 million, or 10.6% of net sales, for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared with $41.2 million, or 12.6% of net sales, for the third quarter of 2012, and compared with $30.7 million, or 10.8% of net sales, for the three months ended June 30, 2013. A reconciliation of operating income to Adjusted EBITDA is provided at the end of this news release.

For the three months ended September 30, 2013, net loss was $(9.0) million, of which $(9.2) million was attributable to common stockholders, and resulted in $(0.45) of loss per basic and diluted share. Adjusted EPS, on a non-GAAP basis, for the three months ended September 30, 2013, was a loss of $(0.19). A reconciliation of GAAP diluted earnings per share to Adjusted EPS is provided at the end of this news release.

Segment Information

Net sales and operating income in the company’s Printed Circuit Boards segment for the third quarter of 2013 were $256.8 million and $5.7 million, respectively, compared with Printed Circuit Boards segment net sales and operating income of $269.5 million and $3.0 million, respectively, for the third quarter of 2012, and compared with Printed Circuit Boards segment net sales and operating income of $240.7 million and $4.7 million, respectively, for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. Sequentially, stronger demand for PCBs used in the company’s automotive, telecommunications, computer and datacommunications, and industrial & instrumentation end markets was partly offset by soft demand in the company’s military and aerospace end market during the quarter ended September 30, 2013.

Net sales and operating income in the company’s Assembly segment for the third quarter of 2013 were $52.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively, compared with Assembly segment net sales and operating income of $57.9 million and $1.6 million, respectively, for the third quarter of 2012 and compared with Assembly segment net sales and operating loss of $44.9 million and $(0.1) million, respectively, for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. Both year-over-year and sequentially, Assembly segment net sales decreased in the industrial & instrumentation end market, but increased in each of the company’s other end markets.

Cash and Working Capital

Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2013 were $61.7 million, compared with $74.8 million at December 31, 2012. Cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, was $54.3 million. The company’s cash cycle metric of 36.0 days at September 30, 2013 was in line with expectations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the company used a net of approximately $22.8 million cash for interest payments and used a net of approximately $5.5 million cash for payment of income taxes.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the company used a net $64.6 million of cash for investing activities. In particular, capital expenditures during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, were $65.2 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, approximately $29.6 million of capital expenditures were incurred in connection with capacity expansion, relocation of facilities, replacement of fire-damaged equipment and other special projects.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, financing activities used a net $2.8 million of cash, including approximately a net $1.9 million cash used to pay scheduled debt payments, $0.3 million cash used to make an optional mortgage debt prepayment and $0.7 million cash used for withholding taxes related to net share settlements of vested stock compensation.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures, including “Adjusted EBITDA” and “Adjusted EPS”.

2

Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized financial measure under U.S. GAAP, and does not purport to be an alternative to operating income or an indicator of operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is presented to enhance an understanding of operating results and is not intended to represent cash flows or results of operations. The Board of Directors, lenders and management use Adjusted EBITDA primarily as an additional measure of operating performance for matters including executive compensation and competitor comparisons. The use of this non-GAAP measure provides an indication of the company’s ability to service debt, and management considers it an appropriate measure to use because of the company’s leveraged position.

Adjusted EBITDA has certain material limitations, primarily due to the exclusion of certain amounts that are material to the company’s consolidated results of operations, such as interest expense, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA may differ from the Adjusted EBITDA calculations reported by other companies in the industry, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

The company uses Adjusted EBITDA to provide meaningful supplemental information regarding operating performance and profitability by excluding from Adjusted EBITDA certain items that the company believes are not indicative of its ongoing operating results or will not impact future operating cash flows, which include restructuring and impairment charges, loss on early extinguishment of debt, stock compensation, costs associated with acquisitions and equity registrations, and other, net.

Adjusted EPS is not a recognized financial measure under U.S. GAAP, does not purport to be an indicator of the company’s financial performance, and might not be consistent with measures used by other companies. The company’s management believes this supplemental measure is useful in understanding underlying trends of the business and analyzing the effects of certain events that are infrequent or unusual for the company.

Adjusted EPS has certain material limitations, primarily due to the exclusion of certain amounts from earnings that are material to the company’s consolidated results of operations, such as costs associated with acquisitions and equity registrations, restructuring and impairment charges, certain interest and other expenses, and certain adjustments to net income to arrive at net income available to common stockholders. As a result, Adjusted EPS differs materially from the earnings per share calculations reported by other companies in the industry, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.
