Horizon Global Corporation HZN, one of the world's leading manufacturers of branded towing and trailering equipment, today reported first quarter results. The Company also provided an update on its targeted action plan, focused on the restructuring of its Americas segment and business improvement activities in its Europe-Africa segment.
"Our consolidated results for the first quarter were consistent with our expectations, as we continued to address the previously identified challenges in the business," said Mark Zeffiro, President and Chief Executive Officer of Horizon Global. "We made progress against our targeted action as many initiatives moved forward, but there is still work to be done. The consolidation of our distribution network is a top priority and we are making early progress on addressing ongoing challenges.
"To date, progress on our action plan includes the recent announcement of a restructuring plan for the Americas segment, which includes a 30 percent reduction of its U.S.-based salaried workforce. Additionally, performance levels continue to improve at our Reynosa, Mexico metals facility.
"Our Asia-Pacific business continues to outperform, achieving a fifth consecutive quarter of double-digit revenue growth, driven primarily by new business in the industrial channel. The integration of the Best Bars business is exceeding expectations and contributed to this segment's profitability during the quarter.
"Our Europe-Africa business also made progress against its targeted action plan initiatives in the first quarter, including increased production from its low-cost country sources and continued realization of Westfalia synergies. During the first quarter, an interim goodwill impairment test was triggered, in part, by the decline in our stock price since year-end, which resulted in a non-cash goodwill impairment of $43.4 million. We continue to believe that our Europe-Africa business remains a key driver of the Company's future financial success. The completion of the Brink acquisition, which remains subject to regulatory review and approval, along with our focus on driving business improvements in this segment and our continued achievement of synergies in Europe will help reinforce Horizon Global's position as a leading branded towing and trailering solution provider to our global customers and end users."
2018 First Quarter Segment Results
Horizon Americas. Net sales decreased 1.6 percent, primarily driven by inefficiencies in the ramp up of the Company's Kansas City distribution center and the wind-down of its Dallas distribution center. Operating profit decreased $10.3 million to a loss of $5.1 million, or 5.3 percent of net sales, due to higher material costs that more than offset price increases.
Horizon Europe-Africa. Net sales increased by $8.5 million, primarily driven by foreign exchange translation. Revenue growth in the OE channel partially offset ongoing challenges in the aftermarket channel. Operating profit decreased $44.7 million to a loss of $45.1 million, or 51.8 percent of net sales, attributable to the impairment of goodwill. Adjusted operating profit(1) decreased to $0.1 million, or 0.1 percent of net sales, due to the margin mix impact from the lower-margin OE business and material cost increases in excess of realized price increases.
Horizon Asia-Pacific. Net sales increased 24.6 percent, or 19.1 percent, on a constant currency basis(3), primarily attributable to the Best Bars acquisition and strength in the OE channel. Operating profit increased $1.3 million to $4.4 million, or 13.1 percent of net sales, driven by higher sales and increased operational productivity.
Targeted Action Plan
Horizon Global announced a business improvement plan on March 1, 2018 to drive $3.0 million to $5.0 million in consolidated cost savings in 2018. Once implemented, the action plan is expected to result in $10.0 million to $12.0 million in consolidated cost savings on a full-year run rate basis. Action plan updates include:
- Initiated the consolidation the Americas segment's three legacy non-manufacturing locations into a single location
- Announced a 30 percent reduction in the Americas segment's U.S.-based salaried workforce
- Increased production levels in its Reynosa, Mexico metals facility with a 19% improvement in cost/earned hour and double-digit improvement in plant output
- Improved shipment rates at its Kansas City distribution center, with considerable effort required in the second quarter to absorb aftermarket volume
- Increased the Europe-Africa segment's low-cost country production, achieving the daily production target of 900 towbars
- Implemented actions to improve the profitability of the Nordics region in the Europe-Africa business by consolidating Sweden and Finland warehousing and commercial operations into Denmark
Zeffiro concluded, "We continue to advance our action plan and are focused on implementing our initiatives with a sense of urgency as we head into the important second and third quarters. We are reaffirming our guidance for the year, on an adjusted basis, as we continue to make the changes necessary to improve our performance and increase shareholder value."

Reconciliation of Reported Revenue Growth |

The constant currency presentation, which is a non-GAAP measure, excludes the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We believe providing constant currency information provides valuable supplemental information regarding our growth, consistent with how we evaluate our performance. Constant currency revenue results are calculated by translating current year revenue in local currency using the prior year's currency conversion rate.

LTM Bank EBITDA as Defined in Credit Agreement |

(Unaudited - dollars in thousands) |
| This appendix reconciles net income to "Consolidated Bank EBITDA" as defined in our credit agreement. We believe this reconciliation provides valuable supplemental information regarding our capital structure, consistent with how we evaluate our performance. The leverage ratios as of March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017 were calculated based upon the U.S. GAAP definition of debt for our previously disclosed Convertible Note issuance during the first quarter of 2017. Based on discussions with the administrative agent under our credit agreement, the leverage ratio will be presented based on a U.S. GAAP exception outlined in the credit agreement, which provides our investors and lenders a clearer view of our total leverage position. Based upon this U.S. GAAP exception, our leverage ratio would have been 4.37x and 3.86x as of March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, respectively. The restated ratios are still in compliance with our covenant level of 5.25x for each quarter. |
