FY 2015 Highlights

FY 2015 Fourth Quarter Highlights

Management Commentary

Craig Bouchard, Real Industry’s Chairman and CEO, stated, “Fiscal 2015 was a year of transformation and achievement for our Company. I would like to recognize the phenomenal work of our employees during the year, particularly our team at Real Alloy who worked tirelessly on the Six Sigma-led transition effort. Despite a progressively challenging macroeconomic environment throughout 2015, Real Alloy surpassed its operating margin and cash flow targets, producing one of the best years in its history. Real Alloy outperformed nearly every public aluminum company with its unique risk-mitigating model.  

“In the ten months since the closing of the acquisition, our strong focus on cash flow, productivity and working capital management enabled us to reduce our total debt by over $50 million while maintaining liquidity in excess of $100 million at year end.

“The turbulence in the marketplace, combined with our Company’s strengthened position, created an ideal setting of increased opportunity as we work toward our next acquisition. We are actively pursuing targets that we believe will benefit from our tax-advantaged growth platform, and ultimately increase our stockholder value.”

FY 2015 Results

Real Industry reported revenues of $1.1 billion in the year ended December 31, 2015, driven by the Company’s Real Alloy business, which invoiced over 1 million metric tons of aluminum since it was acquired on February 27, 2015. As a result of this acquisition and the NABCO divestiture during the fiscal 2015 first quarter, comparisons to 2014 are not meaningful for Real Industry this year. On a full-year basis for Real Alloy, which has not been audited, management estimates that the invoiced volume was

largely flat with 2014 when the business was owned by Aleris Corporation. During the second half of the year, Real Alloy consistently delivered 55% of its sales volume to customers via tolling arrangements, with its buy/sell business representing the remainder.  

Despite falling aluminum prices throughout the year, Real Alloy generated segment Adjusted EBITDA of $70.3 million for fiscal 2015, which represents approximately ten months of performance.  Adjusted EBITDA per ton over this period was nearly $70. Gross profit was $74.9 million, and gross margin was 6.5%. Adjusting for the impact of purchase accounting, which increased cost of sales, gross margin would have been 7.3%.

During fiscal 2015, the Company incurred a number of one-time expenses that impacted its financial results, including $14.8 million in transaction and financing-related costs and expenses associated with the Real Alloy acquisition, $9.2 million in noncash costs related to the amortization of the fair value adjustment of inventories and prepaid supplies under purchase accounting; as well as, reported in discontinued operations, a $39.7 million pretax gain on sale of our former subsidiary North American Breaker Company; and $4.8 million of recovery on allowance for repurchase reserve.

Real Industry reported net loss attributable to the Company of $6.9 million in fiscal 2015.

FY 2015 Fourth Quarter Results

Real Industry reported revenues of $300.6 million in the fiscal 2015 fourth quarter driven primarily by Real Alloy, which invoiced an aggregate 291,300 metric tons of aluminum during the period. Compared to the fiscal 2015 third quarter, volumes were down 3%, which was in line with expectations due to fourth quarter seasonality caused by slowdowns in the automotive industry, as a result of plant shutdowns for maintenance and vacations timed to take place during the holiday season. This fourth quarter seasonal reduction, on a percentage basis, was in line with the prior year reduction under Aleris.  

Adjusted EBITDA at Real Alloy was $17.1 million in the fiscal 2015 fourth quarter. Gross profit was $23.4 million, and gross margin was 7.8%, which compares to 7.5% in the fiscal 2015 third quarter and 5.8% in the fiscal 2015 second quarter. Adjusting for the impact of purchase accounting, which increased cost of sales, gross margin would have been 8.0%, compared to 7.9% in the fiscal 2015 third quarter and 6.7% in the fiscal 2015 second quarter, similarly adjusted.

Operating costs in corporate and other were $3.4 million during the quarter, a slight increase compared to the fiscal 2015 third quarter.  

Real Industry reported net loss attributable to the Company of $3.9 million in the fiscal 2015 fourth quarter.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

At December 31, 2015, Real Industry’s cash and cash equivalents were $35.7 million, total debt was $314.4 million, and stockholders’ equity was $151.8 million. The Company’s total liquidity was $103.7 million at December 31, 2015, of which, $83.1 million relates to Real Alloy.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the balance sheets, statements of operations, or statements of cash flows; or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of including amounts, that are excluded from the most directly comparable measures so calculated and presented. We report our financial results in accordance with GAAP; however, our management believes that certain non-GAAP performance measures, which we use in managing our businesses, may provide investors with additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior periods. Adjusted EBITDA (defined below) is an example of a non-GAAP financial measure that we believe provides investors and other users of our financial information with useful information.

Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a performance metric for its segments and believes this measure provides additional information commonly used by holders of our common stock, as well as the holders of the Real Alloy Senior Secured Notes and parties to the Asset-Based Facility with respect to the ongoing performance of our underlying business activities, as well as our ability to meet our future debt service, capital expenditures and working capital needs. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is a component of certain covenants under the Indenture governing the Senior Secured Notes.

Our Adjusted EBITDA calculations represent net earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, unrealized gains and losses on derivative financial instruments, share-based compensation expense, charges and expenses related to acquisitions, and certain other gains and losses.

Adjusted EBITDA as we use it may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA by eliminating the impact of a number of items we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance and certain other items. You are encouraged to evaluate each adjustment and the reasons we consider it appropriate for supplemental analysis. However, Adjusted EBITDA is not a financial measurement calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, and when analyzing our operating performance, investors should use Adjusted EBITDA in addition to, and not as an alternative for operating profit or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and it should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for, or superior to, our measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. These limitations include:

In addition, in evaluating Adjusted EBITDA it should be noted that in the future we may incur expenses similar to the adjustments in the below presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items.

The table below provides a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA of our segments to the most directly comparable financial measure presented in accordance with GAAP. Our reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to operating profit for the three months and year ended December 31, 2015 follows:
