BRAINTREE, Mass., July 25, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Altra Industrial Motion Corp. AIMC ("Altra" or the "Company"), a leading global manufacturer and supplier of motion control, power transmission and automation products, today announced unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2019. Except where otherwise noted, financial results for the second quarter of 2019 include the A&S business whereas results for the prior year period do not include financial results of the A&S business on a proforma basis.

Second Quarter Financial Highlights

Second-quarter 2019 net sales were $466.5 million, up 97% from $237.3 million in the second quarter of 2018. Organic sales were down 2.7% for the combined business on an unaudited pro forma basis, compared to the second quarter of 2018. Excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, Power Transmission Technologies (PTT) segment sales were up 1.8% and Automation & Specialty (A&S) segment sales were down 6.6% compared to the prior year.*
Second-quarter net income was $29.0 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, compared with $19.0 million, or $0.65 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2018. Non-GAAP net income in the second quarter of 2019 was $45.6 million, or $0.71 per diluted share. This is compared with non-GAAP net income of $22.6 million, or $0.78 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2018.*
Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of 2019 was $95.5 million, or 20.5% of net sales, compared with $39.7 million, or 16.7% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2018.*
Operating income margin in the second quarter of 2019 was 12.2% compared with 11.8% in the second quarter of 2018. Gross profit margin in the second quarter of 2019 was 35.8%, a 280 basis point increase over 33.0% in the second quarter of 2018. Non-GAAP operating income margin in the second quarter of 2019 was 16.9%, a 390 basis point increase from 13.0% in the second quarter of 2018.*
Cash flow from operations for the second quarter 2019 of $56.8 million led to free cash flow of $46.7 million, nearly double the free cash flow generated in the first quarter of 2019. On a year-to-date basis the Company has generated $72.0 million of free cash flow.*
$35.0 million of debt was paid down in the second quarter of 2019, with total debt pay down of $70.0 million since the closing of the A&S merger on October 1, 2018.

Strategic Highlights

Previously announced closure of significant Northeast facility on track to be completed before the end of the year.
Cross-selling sales funnel is growing as a result of strong sales team collaboration
On track to exceed $10.0 million to $12.0 million of synergies in 2019 and deliver a total of $52.0 million of synergies by year four, with strategic supply chain initiatives substantially ahead of 2019 targets.

Management Comments

"During the second quarter, we experienced mixed business conditions with some end markets quite strong while others were weaker than expected. This impacted overall organic revenue and earnings growth for Altra and resulted in a weaker-than-expected Q2 performance," said Carl Christenson, Altra's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

"Most notably, we saw continued weakness across our semi-conductor, robotics, turf and garden and agriculture markets and a decline in revenues into the global truck markets. This was partially offset by strength across the medical, mining, defense and renewable energy end markets. Margins were up year-over-year, reflecting the benefit of the A&S merger, but down sequentially with Q2 gross profit margin of 35.8%, non-GAAP adjusted operating income margin of 16.9% and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA margin of 20.5%.* Our ongoing focus on cash management yielded a favorable $46.7 million of free cash flow in the second quarter which is nearly double the amount of cash that we generated in the first quarter.*"

"The weakness we are seeing in the global industrial economy, which is primarily due to the uncertainty regarding trade and tariff's and the recent downturn in industrial activity in Europe and China, is expected to continue into the foreseeable future. Although we are not anticipating the downturn to be long term or exceptionally deep, to better align our cost structure with near term dynamics we are accelerating cost reductions and other margin improvement initiatives."

"At the same time, we remain focused on executing on our strategic priorities to position Altra to deliver on our promise as a premier industrial company," Christenson continued. "This includes achieving our synergy targets by leveraging sales collaborations, advancing our supply chain optimization efforts and continuing to integrate our world-class business systems across the combined organization. In addition, we remain focused on generating strong free cash flow to expediently de-lever the balance sheet."

"Looking forward, we are resetting our 2019 guidance to reflect our expectations for the mixed market conditions to continue through the balance of the year," continued Christenson. "Despite this reset, I am confident that we are taking the necessary actions to manage the near-term dynamics while focusing on the strategic priorities that will advance Altra toward our long-term growth goals of delivering a 425-basis points of Adjusted EBITDA margin improvement by the end of 2022 and expediently deleveraging the balance sheet to historical levels of less than 3x Net Debt/Adjusted EBITDA."

Business Outlook

Altra is revising its guidance for full year 2019 as follows:

Full-year 2019 sales in the range of $1,850 to $1,880 million.
GAAP diluted EPS in the range of $1.81 to $1.95.
Non-GAAP diluted EPS in the range of $2.81 to $2.97.*
Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA in the range of $385 to $400 million.*
Tax rate for the full year is now expected to be approximately 23.5% to 25.0% before discrete items, capital expenditures in the range of $50 to $55 million, and depreciation and amortization in the range of $128 to $135 million.

* Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The non-GAAP financial measures used in this release are utilized by management in comparing our operating performance on a consistent basis. We believe that these financial measures are appropriate to enhance the overall understanding of our underlying operating performance trends compared to historical and prospective periods and our peers. We believe that these measures provide important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to the Company's financial condition and results of operations as well as insight into the compliance with our debt covenants. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information calculated in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures presented above to our GAAP results has been provided in the financial tables included in this press release.

Organic Sales
Organic sales in this release excludes the impact of foreign currency translation.

Non-GAAP Net Income, Non-GAAP income from operations, Non-GAAP Diluted earnings per share, Non-GAAP operating income margin, and Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Diluted EPS Guidance
Non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, and non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share guidance exclude acquisition related amortization, acquisition related costs, acquisition related stock compensation costs, restructuring costs and other income or charges that management does not consider to be directly related to the Company's core operating performance, such as supplier warranty settlement, loss on partial settlement of pension plans and the tax impact of such adjustments. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing non-GAAP net income by GAAP weighted average shares outstanding (diluted). Non-GAAP operating income margin is calculated by dividing Non-GAAP income from operations by GAAP Net Sales.

Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA guidance
Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, acquisition related amortization, acquisition related costs, restructuring costs, stock-based compensation, supplier warranty settlement and other income or charges that management does not consider to be directly related to the Company's core operating performance, such as asset impairment and other, net, and loss on partial settlement of pension plans.

Non-GAAP Free cash flow
Non-GAAP free cash flow is calculated by deducting purchases of property, plant and equipment from net cash flows from operating activities.

Non-GAAP operating working capital
Non-GAAP operating working capital is calculated by deducting accounts payable from net trade receivables plus inventories.

Net Debt
Net debt is calculated by subtracting cash from total debt.
