Unique Fabricating Declares Quarterly Dividend of $0.05 Per Share

AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Feb. 12, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Unique Fabricating, Inc. ("Unique" or the "Company")UFAB, which engineers and manufactures multi-material foam, rubber, and plastic components utilized in noise, vibration and harshness management and air/water sealing applications for the automotive and industrial appliance market, today announced that its Board of Directors approved a $0.05 per share quarterly dividend, which compares to $0.15 in the prior quarter.

The dividend will be paid on March 7, 2019 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 28, 2019.

"The decision to reduce the quarterly dividend is a proactive and prudent step by the Board to provide the Company financial flexibility to more aggressively reduce its long-term debt and also provide enhanced operational and strategic options," said John Weinhardt, Chief Executive Officer. "Throughout its history, Unique Fabricating has benefited from the strong cash generation and high returns we have been able to achieve on relatively low levels of capex. This dynamic is fundamental to our business strategy and it benefits our operations across all market conditions. Given the recently announced plant closures by some of the largest North American automotive manufacturers along with steadily increasing interest rates on the floating portion of our debt, we felt it was appropriate to amend our capital allocation strategy to ensure maximum flexibility as the market continues to evolve."

Fourth Quarter and Year-End 2018 Earnings
In addition, the company announced plans to release its financial results for the fourth quarter and 12 months ended December 30, 2018 on March 7, 2019, prior to the opening of the market.
