NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

(AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS, UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED, 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 ("U.S. GAAP"), except that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. However, in the opinion of Accuride Corporation ("Accuride" or the "Company"), all adjustments (consisting primarily of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary to present fairly the condensed consolidated financial statements have been included.

The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto disclosed in Accuride's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Noncontrolling Minority Interest—Noncontrolling interests represent ownership interest in the Company's majority-owned subsidiary, Gianetti, held by third parties. Noncontrolling minority interest is recognized as a component of equity in the Company's consolidated balance sheets and as net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) and is captured within the summary of changes in equity attributable to controlling and noncontrolling interest.

Management's Estimates and Assumptions – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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.

Earnings Per Common Share – Basic and diluted earnings per common share attributable to stockholders were computed as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
(In thousands except per share data)	2016		2015
Numerator:
Loss from continuing operations	$	(4,744)	$	(580)
Income (Loss) from discontinued operations		—		(8)
Net loss	$	(4,744)	$	(588)
Denominator:
Weighted average shares outstanding – Basic		48,100		47,822
Weighted average shares outstanding - Diluted		48,100		47,822

Basic loss per common share:
From continuing operations	$	(0.10)	$	(0.01)
From discontinued operations		—		—
Basic loss per common share	$	(0.10)	$	(0.01)

Diluted loss per common share
From continuing operations	$	(0.10)	$	(0.01)
From discontinued operations		—		—
Diluted loss per common share	$	(0.10)	$	(0.01)

As of March 31, 2016, there were options exercisable for 138,231 shares that were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would be anti-dilutive. As of March 31, 2015, there were options exercisable for 144,095 shares that were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would be anti-dilutive.

Share-Based Compensation – Compensation expense for share-based compensation programs recognized as a component of operating expenses was $0.6 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, respectively.

As of March 31, 2016, there was approximately $4.0 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 2.0 years.

Income Tax – Under Interim Financial Reporting, we compute on a quarterly basis an estimated annual effective tax rate considering ordinary income and related income tax (benefit) 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. 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 federal and state 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 income, and the uncertainty of our financial outlook, we continue to maintain a full valuation allowance against our domestic deferred tax assets. Deferred tax assets in our foreign jurisdictions are more likely than not to be recognized, therefore, no valuation allowance has been recorded for these assets.

New Accounting Pronouncements - On May 28, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, Revenue From Contracts With Customers. The amendments in this update create Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605. The objective of the amendment is to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and to develop a common revenue standard for U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods therein. Early adoption is not permitted.

On August 12, 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date". The amendments in this update defer the effective date of Update 2014-09 for all entities by one year. The Company is evaluating the effect, if any, on its financial statements.

On August 27, 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern. The amendments in this update provide guidance in U.S. GAAP about management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. In doing so, the amendments should reduce diversity in the timing and content of footnote disclosures. The amendments in this update are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect, if any, on its financial statements.

On July 22, 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. The FASB is using this update as part of its Simplification Initiative. The amendments in this update more closely align the measurement of inventory in GAAP with the measurement of Inventory in IFRS. This amendment is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The amendment should be applied prospectively with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Company is evaluating the effect, if any, on its financial statements.

On January 5, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01. Financial Instructions-Overall (Topic 825-10). The amendments in this update address certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. This amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is evaluating the effect, if any, on its financial statements.

On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The amendments in this update will increase the transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. This amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect, if any, on its financial statements.

Table of Contents

On March 17, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The amendments in this update clarify the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. The amendments in this update are effective and the transition requirements are the same as the effective date and transition requirements of Update 2014-09. The Company is evaluating the effect, if any, on its financial statements.

On March 30, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensations (Topic 718). The amendments in this update are intended to simplify accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect, if any, on its financial statements.

Recent Accounting Adoptions – On June 19, 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide that a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. This update is intended to resolve the diverse accounting treatment of those awards in practice. The amendment is effective for annual and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. This amendment did not have a material effect on the financial statements.

On February 18, 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. This update is intended to change the analysis that a reporting entity must perform to determine whether it should consolidate certain types of legal entities. The amendment is effective for annual and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. This amendment did not have a material effect on the financial statements.

On April 15, 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-05, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement. The amendments in this update provide guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. The amendment is effective for annual and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. This amendment did not have a material effect on the financial statements.

On April 7, 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. FASB is issuing this update as part of its initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards (the Simplification Initiative). To simplify presentation of debt issuance costs, the amendments in this update require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts.

At the June 18, 2015, EITF meeting, the SEC staff clarified that the ASU does not address issuance costs associated with revolving-debt arrangements and announced that it would not object to an entity deferring and presenting [such] costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the costs ratably over the term of the revolving debt arrangement. Based in the SEC staff's comments, the Company has elected to recognize costs incurred in connection with the revolving ABL Credit Agreement as deferred and presented as an asset. These deferred financing costs are subsequently amortized over the life of the related debt using the effective interest method. Deferred financing costs net of accumulated amortization associated with the revolving ABL credit facility as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were $0.9 million and $1.0 million respectively.

The Company has recently adopted ASU 2015-03, therefore costs relating to obtaining the Senior Secured Notes ("the Notes") which are capitalized and amortized over the term of the related debt using the effective interest method have been reclassified to Long Term Debt in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The prior year consolidated balance sheet has been adjusted to conform to the current year presentation, in accordance with the retroactive requirements of ASU 2015-03. These deferred financing costs net of accumulated amortization associated with the Notes as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were $2.8 million and $3.1 million respectively.

Note 2 - Acquisitions

On November 3, 2015, Accuride subscribed to a controlling seventy percent (70%) ownership interest in Gianetti Route, S.r.l., an Italian manufacturer of steel wheels for heavy- and medium-duty commercial vehicles and motorcycles ("Gianetti"), in exchange for a commitment to invest €19.75 million ($21.8 million) in Gianetti. The remaining 30% percent ownership interest in Gianetti was retained by MW Italia S.r.l., a subsidiary of Coils Lamiere Nastri - C.L.N. S.p.A. Accuride contributed €3.75 million ($4.1 million) to Gianetti after closing and has agreed to invest the remaining commitments no later than as follows: €5.4 million ($5.9 million) in 2016, €9.1 million ($10.1 million) in 2017, and the remainder in 2018. Accuride will finance its remaining investment in Gianetti through general working capital and availability under its existing credit agreements. Gianetti's principle manufacturing and engineering facility is located in Ceriano Laghetto, near Milan, Italy. The Company acquired the controlling interest to expand into the European market under its "Grow" strategy. The results of operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition.

Table of Contents

Starting in 2016, we refined the method to estimate the current service cost for pension and other postretirement benefits. Previously, the current service cost was estimated using a single weighted-average discount rate derived from the yield curve used to measure the defined benefit obligation at the beginning of the year. Under the refined method, different discount rates are derived from the same yield curve, reflecting the different timing of benefit payments for past service (the defined benefit obligation) and future service (the current service cost). Differentiating in this way represents a refinement in the basis of estimation applied in prior periods. This change does not affect the measurement of the total defined benefit obligation recorded on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015 or any other period. The refinement compared to the previous method resulted in a decrease in the current service cost and interest components with an equal offset to actuarial gains (losses) with no net impact on the total benefit obligation. The refinement did not have a material impact on the March 31, 2016 consolidated statement of operations. This change is accounted for prospectively as a change in accounting estimate.

Note 7 – Commitments and Contingencies

We are from time to time involved in various legal proceedings of a character normally incidental 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 and cash flows.

In addition to environmental laws that regulate our ongoing operations, we are also subject to environmental remediation liability. Under the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act ("CERCLA") and analogous state laws, we may be subject to joint and several liability without regard to fault or the legality of the original conduct as a result of the release or threatened release of hazardous materials into the environment regardless of when the release occurred. We are currently involved in several matters relating to the investigation and/or remediation of locations where we have arranged for the disposal of foundry wastes. Such matters include situations in which we have been named or are believed to be potentially responsible parties in connection with the contamination of these offsite disposal locations. Additionally, environmental remediation may be required to address soil and groundwater contamination identified at certain of our facilities.

As of March 31, 2016, we had an environmental reserve of approximately $0.5 million, related primarily to our foundry operations. This reserve is based on management's review of potential liabilities as well as cost estimates related thereto. Any expenditure required for us to comply with applicable environmental laws and/or pay for any remediation efforts will not be reduced or otherwise affected by the existence of the environmental reserve. Our environmental reserve may not be adequate to cover our future costs related to the sites associated with the environmental reserve, and any additional costs may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition. The discovery of additional environmental issues, the modification of existing laws or regulations or the promulgation of new ones, more vigorous enforcement by regulators, the imposition of joint and several liability under CERCLA or analogous state laws, or other unanticipated events could also result in a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements.

The Iron and Steel Foundry National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants ("NESHAP") was developed pursuant to Section 112(d) of the Clean Air Act and requires major sources of hazardous air pollutants to achieve compliance with emission limits representative of maximum achievable control technology. Based on currently available information, we do not anticipate material costs regarding ongoing compliance with the NESHAP; however if we are found to be out of compliance with NESHAP, we could incur a liability that could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Management does not believe that the outcome of any currently pending environmental proceeding will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements.

As of March 31, 2016, we had approximately 2,173 employees, of which 516 were salaried employees with the remainder paid hourly. Unions represent approximately 1,465 of our employees, which is approximately 67 percent of our total employees. 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 2016 negotiations in Monterrey were completed prior to the expiration of our union contract. In 2014, we successfully negotiated new bargaining agreements for our Erie, Pennsylvania and Rockford, Illinois facilities, which will expire on September 3, 2018 and March 25, 2019, respectively. The contract at our London, Ontario runs through March 12, 2018. No other collective bargaining agreements expire in 2016. Our contract at Gianetti expires in October 2017.

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.

- 12 -

Table of Contents

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, customer receivables, and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the relatively short maturity of these instruments. The fair value of our 9.5% senior secured notes based on market quotes, which we determined to be Level 1 inputs, at March 31, 2016 was $293.1 million compared to the carrying amount of $304.7 million. The fair value of our 9.5% senior secured notes based on market quotes, which we determined to be Level 1 inputs, at December 31, 2015 was approximately $263.8 million compared to the carrying amount of $304.3 million. The Company believes the fair value of our variable interest rate Asset Based Loan ("ABL") facility at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 equals the carrying value of $10.3 million, and $0 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 we had no other significant long-term financial instruments.

Note 9 – Segment Reporting

Based on our continual monitoring of the long-term economic characteristics, products and production processes, class of customer, and distribution methods of our operating segments, we have identified each of our operating segments below as reportable segments. We believe this segmentation is appropriate based upon operating decisions and performance assessments by our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Senior Vice-President and CFO. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as described in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended 2015.

Note 10 - Debt

As of March 31, 2016, total debt was $323.7 million, consisting of $304.7 million of our outstanding 9.5% senior secured notes, net of discount and debt issuance costs, $8.7 million in short term obligations related to our majority interest in Gianetti and $10.3 million drawn on our ABL Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2016, Accuride had $18.5 million of cash plus $43.3 million in availability under its ABL Credit Facility for total liquidity of $61.8 million. As of December 31, 2015, total debt was $314.5 million, consisting of $304.3 million of our outstanding 9.5% senior secured notes, net of discount and debt issuance costs and $10.3 million in short term obligations related to our majority interest in Gianetti. As of December 31, 2015, Accuride had $29.8 million of cash plus $46.8 million in availability under its ABL Credit Facility for total liquidity of $76.6 million.

Our credit documents (the ABL Facility and the indenture governing 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 fixed charge coverage ratio covenant which will be applicable if the availability under the ABL Facility is less than 10.0% of the amount of the ABL Facility. If applicable, that covenant requires us to maintain a minimum ratio of adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures made during such period (other than capital expenditures financed with the net cash proceeds of asset sales, recovery events, incurrence of indebtedness and the sale or issuance of equity interests) to fixed charges of 1.00 to 1.00. We are not currently in a compliance period, and we do not expect to be in a compliance period during the next twelve months. However, we continue to operate in a challenging commercial environment and our ability to maintain liquidity and comply with our debt covenants may be affected by changes in economic or other conditions that are beyond our control and which are difficult to predict.

The ABL Facility provides for loans and letters of credit in an amount up to the aggregate availability under the facility, subject to meeting certain borrowing base conditions, with sub-limits of up to $10.0 million for swingline loans and $20.0 million for letters of credit. Borrowings under the ABL Facility bear interest through maturity at a variable rate based upon, at our option, either LIBOR or the base rate (which is the greatest of one-half of 1.00% in excess of the federal funds rate, 1.00% in excess of the one-month LIBOR rate and the Agent's prime rate), plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin for loans under the first-in last-out term facility that are (i) LIBOR loans ranges, based on the our average excess availability, from 2.75% to 3.25% per annum and (ii) base rate loans ranges, based on our average excess availability, from 1.00% to 1.50%. The applicable margin for other advances under the ABL Facility that are (i) LIBOR loans ranges, based on our average excess availability, from 1.75% to 2.25% and (ii) base rate loans ranges, based on our average excess availability, from 0.00% to 0.50%.

We must also pay an unused line fee equal to 0.25% per annum to the lenders under the ABL Facility if utilization under the facility is greater than or equal to 50.0% of the total available commitments under the facility, or an unused line fee equal to 0.375% per annum if utilization under the facility is less than 50.0% of the total available commitments under the facility. Customary letter of credit fees are also payable, as applicable.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP and such principles are applied on a basis consistent with the information reflected in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP 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 primarily of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair presentation of results for the respective interim periods. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2016 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 believe we are one of the largest manufacturers and suppliers of commercial vehicle components in North America and are one of the leading steel wheel manufacturers in Europe. Our products include commercial vehicle wheels, wheel-end components and assemblies, and ductile and gray iron castings. We market our products under some of the most recognized brand names in the industry, including Accuride, Gunite, Brillion, and Gianetti. We serve the leading OEMs and their 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 many North American and European heavy- and medium-duty truck OEMs.

Our diversified customer base includes a large number of the leading commercial vehicle OEMs, such as Daimler Truck North America, LLC ("DTNA"), 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 Group North America, with its Volvo and Mack brand trucks, Daimler Trucks Europe, with its Mercedes brand trucks, Volvo Group Europe, with its Volvo and Renault brand trucks, Industrial Vehicle Corporation ("Iveco") with its Iveco brand trucks, and MAN Commercial Vehicles, with its MAN brand trucks. Our primary commercial trailer customers include leading commercial trailer OEMs, such as Great Dane Limited Partnership, Utility Trailer Manufacturing Company, and Wabash National, Inc. Our major light truck customer is General Motors Corporation. Our product portfolio is supported by strong sales, marketing and design engineering capabilities and is manufactured in ten strategically located, technologically advanced facilities across the United States, Canada, Italy and Mexico.

The heavy- and medium-duty truck and commercial trailer markets, the related aftermarket, and the global industrial, construction, and mining, markets are the primary drivers of our sales. The commercial vehicle manufacturing and replacement part markets are, in turn, directly influenced by conditions in the North American and European truck industry and 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. The global industrial, construction, and mining markets are driven by more macro- and global economic conditions, such as coal, oil and gas exploration, demand for mined products that are converted into industrial raw materials such as steel, iron and copper, and global construction trends. Industry forecasts predict a decline in North American Class 8 commercial vehicle builds in 2016 compared to 2015. North American medium-duty truck builds are expected to hold steady in 2016 compared to 2015. With regards to North American trailer production, industry experts expect year-over-year sales to marginally decline in 2016. Compared to 2015, industry forecasts for 2016 predict a modest increase in the European Heavy- and Medium-Duty commercial vehicle builds and for European trailer builds. With our core aftermarket business, industry experts predict year-over-year sales that show flat to marginal growth. Our Brillion castings business, which is driven more by global industrial, construction, and mining markets, expects to face continued headwinds in 2016 from broader economic weakness, particularly in the oil and gas, agriculture and global mining end-markets that it serves.

Our markets and those of our customers are becoming increasingly competitive as the global, North American, and European economic recoveries remain modest. In the North American commercial vehicle market, OEMs are competing to maintain or increase market share in the face of evolving regulations, increasing customer emphasis on light weight and fuel efficient platforms and an economic recovery that is holding new equipment purchases at or near replacement levels. Shifts in the market share held by each of our OEM customers impact our business to varying degrees depending on whether our products are designated as standard or optional equipment on the various platforms at each OEM. Approximately 70 percent of our global wheel business is tied to the OEM market with the remaining 30 percent tied to the aftermarket. Approximately 80 percent of our Gunite business is tied to the North American Aftermarket, with the remaining 20 percent tied to the North American Class 8 OEM segment. We are also continuing to see the impact of low cost country sourced products in our markets, which has particularly impacted the aftermarket for steel wheels and brake drums. Further, broader economic weaknesses in industrial manufacturing, agriculture, mining, and oil and gas exploration impacted our Brillion business through reduced customer orders beginning in March 2015. We expect that the substantial reductions in commodity prices that occurred in 2015 will continue to impact demand in Brillion's end markets in 2016.

In response to these conditions, we are working to continue to increase our market share and to control costs while positioning our businesses to compete at current demand levels and maintain capacity to meet future recoveries in our end markets. Specifically, we have taken actions to align our cost run-rate to the anticipated lower volumes by adjusting our plant schedules and staffing levels. In addition, we are agressively managing corporate selling, general and administrative spending for 2016, lowering our capital expenditures by $5 million. We also continue to implement lean manufacturing practices across our facilities and our functional/administrative areas, which have resulted in significant reductions in working capital. These reductions have freed up cash for other opportunities and priorities. We have completed all of our previously disclosed capital investment projects in North America that have selectively increased our manufacturing capacity on core products, reduced labor and manufacturing costs and improved product quality. Additionally, we have introduced and will continue to develop and roll-out new products and technologies that we believe offer better value to customers. Further, we have been pursuing new business opportunities with both OEM and aftermarket customers and will work towards increasing our market share at OEMs by developing our relationships with large fleets in order to "pull through" our products when fleets order new equipment. We continue to monitor competition from products manufactured in low cost countries and will take steps to combat unfair trade practices, as warranted, such as filing anti-dumping petitions with the United States government.

We believe that cash from operations, existing cash reserves, and our ABL revolving credit facility will provide adequate funds for our working capital needs, planned capital expenditures and cash interest payments through 2016 and the foreseeable future.

Net Sales

	Three Months Ended March 31,
(In thousands)	2016		2015
Wheels	$	105,383	$	108,336
Gunite		38,713		37,740
Brillion		16,846		37,583
Total	$	160,942	$	183,659

Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2016, were $160.9 million, down $22.7 million, or 12.4 percent, from the same period a year ago. The decrease, was driven by $19.4 million related to the continued softness in demand at our Brillion business unit, $12.8 million in pricing related to the pass-through of lower raw material costs and $4.9 million due to lower demand in North American wheels. Partially offsetting those decreases were $10.4 million in net sales related to our majority investment in Gianetti Ruote and $4.0 million from increased market share at Gunite.

Table of Contents

Net sales for our Wheels segment decreased 2.7 percent during the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 primarily due to decreased production volume from our OEM customers and aftermarket customers, partially offset with new European sales. Net sales for our Gunite segment increased 2.6 percent primarily due to increased market share of aftermarket drums partially offset by lower year-over-year pricing primarily related to a pass-through of lower raw material and commodity costs. Our Gunite products have a higher concentration of aftermarket demand, primarily due to the brake drum products that Gunite produces, which are replaced more often than our other products. Our Brillion segment's net sales decreased by 55.2 percent due to lower demand in industrial manufacturing, agriculture, mining, and oil and gas markets stemming from recent substantial reductions in commodity prices.

North American commercial vehicle industry production builds as reported by ACT Publications were as follows:

	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
	2016	2015
Class 8	64,027	79,320
Classes 5-7	63,798	56,646
Trailer	73,754	73,987

European commercial vehicle industry production builds as reported by LMC Automotive Limited were as follows:

	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
	2016	2015
European Heavy Trucks (>16t)	103,740	96,321
European Medium Trucks (3.5lt-16t)	23,413	22,280
Trailers	76,560	70,445

While we serve the commercial vehicle aftermarket segment, there is no industry data to compare our aftermarket sales to industry demand from period to period. Approximately 70 percent of our global Wheels business is tied to the OEM markets, with the remaining 30 percent tied to the aftermarket. Approximately 80 percent of our Gunite business is tied to the North American Aftermarket, with the remaining 20 percent tied to the North American Class 8 segment. We expect to continue to experience competition from low-cost country sourced products that compete with products produced by our Wheels and Gunite operating segments. We expect that the substantial reductions in commodity prices that occurred in 2015 will continue to impact demand in Brillion's end markets in 2016.

Cost of Goods Sold

The table below represents the significant components of our cost of goods sold.

	Three Months Ended March 31,
(In thousands)	2016		2015
Raw materials	$	67,167	$	83,902
Depreciation		8,937		8,541
Labor and other overhead		69,539		70,285
Total	$	145,643	$	162,728

Raw materials costs decreased by $16.7 million, or 19.9 percent, during the three months ended March 31, 2016 due to decreased production volume and decreased raw material commodity costs.

Labor and overhead costs decreased by $0.7 million, or 1.1 percent, primarily due to decreased demand for our products, coupled with continued efficiencies gained through operational lean manufacturing initiatives. This decrease is partially offset by increases in production at Gianetti.

Operating Expenses

	Three Months Ended March 31,
(In thousands)	2016		2015
Selling, general, and administrative	$	8,653	$	7,995
Research and development		2,150		1,563
Depreciation and amortization		2,078		2,045
Total	$	12,881	$	11,603

Operating expenses increased by $1.3 million in 2016 compared to the same period in 2015. This increase was related to selling, general and administrative from Gianetti facility, calendar timing of spending on North America selling, general and administrative costs, year-over-year increases in research and development, one-time severance costs associated with corporate cost reductions, and the continued pursuit of appropriate strategic growth initiatives.

Operating Income (Loss)

	Three Months Ended March 31,
(In thousands)	2016		2015
Wheels	$	11,150	$	13,252
Gunite		3,059		2,741
Brillion		(3,369)		2,196
Corporate/Other		(8,422)		(8,861)
Total	$	2,418	$	9,328

Operating income for the Wheels segment was 10.6 percent of its net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to 12.2 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2015. This decreased operating income is a result of reduced North American sales and lower margin European sales.

Operating income for the Gunite segment was 7.9 percent of its net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 7.3 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2015. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, Gunite showed higher contribution on relatively flat sales due mainly to savings created by operational efficiencies in the form of annual continuous improvement initiatives, coupled with decreased raw material commodity costs.

The operating loss for the Brillion segment was 20.0 percent of its net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to 5.8 percent of income for same period in 2015 primarily due to volume decreases resulting from weakening oil and gas, agriculture, and global mining related sales.

The operating loss for the Corporate segment was 5.2 percent of consolidated net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2016 as compared to 4.8 percent for the comparative period in 2015. This increase was related to calendar timing of spending on North America selling, general, and administrative costs and one-time severance costs associated with corporate cost reductions.

Impairment

During 2015, the Brillion reporting unit experienced declining sales due to the overall market conditions of the industries it serves. Based on Brillion's 2015 financial performance and its end market customer projections as of yearend, management determined that a triggering event had occurred and performed an additional step one goodwill impairment analysis as of December 31, 2015. The Wheels reporting unit passed and the Brillion reporting unit failed the step one test. Brillion's failure of the step one test indicated that goodwill was impaired and a step two analysis was performed to determine the amount of the impairment. Management completed the step two analysis, resulting in the Company recognizing goodwill impairment charges of $4.4 million (the entire carrying amount of goodwill at Brillion) in the statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2015. Based on the impairment test for December 31, 2014, no goodwill impairment was recognized.

The Wheels reporting unit, which has $96.3 million of goodwill recorded as of December 31, 2015, passed the step one test at both the annual measurement testing date, November 30, 2015, and the December 31, 2015 testing date. As of December 31, 2015, the Wheels reporting unit fair value was estimated to be four percent 4% in excess of its carrying value. The valuation for the Wheels reporting unit is significantly driven by projected builds for Class 5-8 and Trailers for the North American commercial vehicle industry. A sustained, long-term decline in projected builds for these trucks and trailers could have a significant impact on the Wheels reporting unit's ability to pass the step one test in future periods.

- 22 -

Table of Contents

Due to the cyclical nature of the North American commercial vehicle industry and our other end-markets, along with other economic trends, the Company has continued to closely monitor the performance of the Wheels reporting unit for indication of potential impairment. As of March 31, 2016 the Company concluded that there was no indication of impairment to its Wheels reporting unit Goodwill. With that said, the Company will continue to closely monitor the performance of the Wheels reporting unit for any further indication of potential impairment.

Interest Expense

Net interest expense remained flat at $8.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015.

Income Tax Provision

We recognized an income tax expense of $0.3 million and $0.4 in the three months ended March 31, 2016, and March 31, 2015, respectively.

Our effective tax rate is (6.1) percent and (199.0) percent for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The effective tax rate for the quarter is impacted by the relative impact of discrete items, which are accounted for as they occur, as well as the recognition of a full valuation against deferred tax assets for our U.S. operations, and the exception provided in ASC740, Accounting for Income Taxes, which is discussed below.

Changes in Financial Condition

As of March 31, 2016, we had total assets of $586.7 million, compared to total assets of $603.6 million at December 31, 2015. The $16.9 million, or 2.8%, decrease in total assets primarily resulted from changes in working capital. We define working capital as current assets (excluding cash) less current liabilities.

We use working capital and cash flow measures to evaluate the performance of our operations and our ability to meet our financial obligations. We define working capital as current assets (excluding cash) less current liabilities. We require working capital investment to maintain our position as a leading manufacturer and supplier of commercial vehicle components. We continue to strive to align our working capital investment with our customers' purchase requirements and our production schedules.

The following table summarizes the major components of our working capital as of the periods listed below:

(In thousands)	March 31, 2016		December 31, 2015
Receivables	$	72,275	$	65,980
Inventories		40,923		47,792
Other current assets		7,849		8,399
Accounts payable		(59,701)		(71,782)
Accrued payroll and compensation		(11,262)		(9,232)
Accrued interest payable		(5,124)		(12,521)
Accrued workers compensation		(2,749)		(3,133)
Short-term debt obligations		(8,689)		(10,286)
Other current liabilities		(13,273)		(14,944)
Working capital	$	20,249	$	273

Significant changes in working capital included:

•

an increase in receivables of $6.3 million due to increased sales the last month of the quarter;

•

a decrease in inventory of $6.9 million due to planned inventory reductions for the quarter;

•

a decrease in accounts payable of $12.1 million primarily due to timing of purchases leading into the end of the respective periods;

•

an increase in accrued payroll and compensation of $2.0 million primarily due to the reduction of bonus accruals;

•

a decrease in interest payable of $7.4 million primarily due to the semi-annual interest payment in February 2016; and

•

a decrease in short-term debt of $1.6 million primarily due to the reduction in factoring payable reflected on the balance sheet.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

Our primary sources of liquidity during the three months ended March 31, 2016 were cash from operations and cash reserves. We believe that cash from operations, existing cash reserves, and our ABL facility will provide adequate funds for our working capital needs, planned capital expenditures and cash interest payments through 2016 and the foreseeable future.

As of March 31, 2016, we had $18.5 million of cash plus $43.3 million in availability under our ABL Facility for a total liquidity of $61.8 million. As of December 31, 2015, we had $29.8 million in cash plus $46.8 million in availability under our ABL credit facility for total liquidity of $76.6 million.

Our ability to fund working capital needs, planned capital expenditures, scheduled semi-annual interest payments, and to comply with any financial covenants under our 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 three months ended March 31, 2016 amounted to $10.6 million compared to cash used in operations of $10.5 million for the period ended March 31, 2015. The cash used in operating activities was flat versus the previous year and was a result of our lower net income for the quarter (volume driven) being offset by planned reductions in inventory for the quarter.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $8.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to a use of $4.1 million for the period ended March 31, 2015. Our most significant cash outlays for investing activities are the purchases of property, plant and equipment. Capital expenditures for 2016 are currently expected to be around $30 million, which we expect to fund through existing cash from operations, cash reserves, or from our ABL facility.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $8.0 million compared to $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase in cash used reflects larger draws on the facility to finance current quarter needs.

Bank Borrowing

The ABL Facility

The ABL Facility is a senior secured asset based credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $100.0 million, consisting of a $90.0 million revolving credit facility and a $10.0 million first-in last-out term facility, with the right, subject to certain conditions, to increase the availability under the facility by up to $50.0 million in the aggregate. The ABL Facility currently matures on the earlier of (i) July 11, 2018 and (ii) 90 days prior to the maturity date of the Company's 9.5% first priority senior security notes due August 1, 2018, but may be extended under certain circumstances pursuant to the terms of the ABL Facility.

The ABL Facility provides for loans and letters of credit in an amount up to the aggregate availability under the facility, subject to meeting certain borrowing base conditions, with sub-limits of up to $10.0 million for swingline loans and $20.0 million for letters of credit. Borrowings under the ABL Facility bear interest through maturity at a variable rate based upon, at our option, either LIBOR or the base rate (which is the greatest of one-half of one percent in excess of the federal funds rate, 1.00% in excess of the one-month LIBOR rate and the Agent's prime rate), plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin for loans under the first-in last-out term facility that are (i) LIBOR loans ranges, based on the our average excess availability, from 2.75% to 3.25% per annum and (ii) base rate loans ranges, based on our average excess availability, from 1.00% to 1.50%. The applicable margin for other advances under the ABL Facility that are (i) LIBOR loans ranges, based on our average excess availability, from 1.75% to 2.25% and (ii) base rate loans ranges, based on our average excess availability, from 0.00% to 0.50%.

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

On July 29, 2010, 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, paid semi-annually in February and August, 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. On February 15, 2011, we completed an exchange offer pursuant to which all our outstanding senior secured notes were exchanged for registered securities with identical terms (other than terms related to registration rights) to the senior secured notes issued July 29, 2010.

Italy Bank Credit Lines

As of March 31, 2016, the Gianetti business unit utilized bank credit lines totaling a combined limit of €7.6 million ($8.7 million). These credit lines provide liquidity to Gianetti for supplier payments, payroll, taxes and other disbursements. Accounts receivable receipts from customers are also deposited to these credit lines to reduce the outstanding balance. The average interest rate for all credit lines, determined per calculations as set forth in the bank agreements, equals 3.6%. Interest is paid monthly. Credit lines are classified as short term due to the agreements allowing for termination with notice by either party.

Restrictive Debt Covenants.

However, we continue to operate in a challenging commercial environment and our ability to maintain liquidity and comply with our debt covenants may be affected by changes in economic or other conditions that are beyond our control and which are difficult to predict.

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, accounts receivable factoring or take-or-pay obligations related to the purchase of raw materials that would not be reflected in our balance sheet.

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, 2015 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.

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 result," "expect," "intend," "believe," "plan," "predict" and similar expressions. Forward looking statements also include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the commercial vehicle market, 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 involving 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:

•	changes in commercial vehicle industry build rates and demand in 2016 and 2017 could have a material adverse effect on our business;

•	further demand reductions in the global oil and gas, industrial, mining, and agricultural industries in 2016 and 2017 could have a material adverse effect on our business;

•	the loss of a major customer could have a material adverse effect on our business;

•	competition from products sourced in low cost countries could have an adverse effect on our business;

•	the demands of original equipment manufacturers for price reductions may adversely affect profitability;

•	we use a substantial amount of raw steel, aluminum, cast scrap, and foundry steel and are vulnerable to industry shortages, significant price increases, and surcharges, some of which we may not be able to pass through to our customers;

•	our credit documents contain significant financial and operating covenants that may limit the discretion of management with respect to certain business matters;

•

failure to comply with the obligations, including applicable financial ratios and tests, contained in the debt agreements could result in an event of default, and possibly the acceleration of the related debt and the acceleration of debt under other instruments evidencing debt that may contain cross-acceleration or cross-default provisions;

•	a labor strike may disrupt our supply of products to our customer base;

•	we may encounter increased competition in the future from existing competitors or new competitors;

•	our significant indebtedness may have important consequences, including, but not limited to, impairment of our ability to obtain additional financing, reduction of funds available for operations and business opportunities or limitations on our ability to dispose of assets;

•	significant volatility in the foreign currency markets could have an adverse effect on us;

•	our ability to service our indebtedness is dependent upon operating cash flow;

•	an interruption of performance of our machinery and equipment could have an adverse effect on us;

•	an interruption in supply of metals could reduce our ability to obtain favorable sourcing of such raw materials;

•	any product quality issue or an adverse judgment in legal proceedings could have an adverse effect on our business;

•	we may be subject to liability under certain environmental laws and the cost of compliance with these regulations could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and may adversely affect our ability to sell or rent such property or to borrow using such property as collateral; and

•	our success depends largely upon the abilities and experience of certain key management personnel and the loss of the services of one or more of these key personnel could have a negative impact on our business.

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 currencies of exposure are the Canadian Dollar, Euro, and Mexican Peso. 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. 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. At March 31, 2016, there were no open foreign exchange contracts.

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.

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 March 31, 2016 we had no open commodity price swaps or futures contracts.

Interest Rate Risk

We use 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 debt at March 31, 2016:

(Dollars in thousands)	2016		2017		2018		2019		2020		Thereafter		Total		Fair Value
Long-term Debt:
Fixed Rate Debt		—		—	$	310,000		—		—		—	$	310,000	$	293,059

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 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 during our most recent quarter.

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 premises liability, 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 effect on our financial condition will not arise in the future.
