COVID-19 Impact and Response

Prioritizing Employee Safety

Altra continues to manage through the COVID-19 pandemic with the guiding principle of safeguarding its employees, customers and shareholders. The Company is maintaining the protocols developed by its Pandemic Response Team and following guidance from national, state and local governmental and health authorities.

Ensuring Business Continuity

The Company's Business Continuity Task Force was highly successful in ensuring continuity of supply for its customers and reopening manufacturing facilities impacted by the pandemic. During the second-quarter, Altra experienced minimal supply chain disruption and all material manufacturing facilities continued to be operational.

Effective Cost Management

Altra continued to take aggressive actions to reduce costs to protect the Company's balance sheet and strengthen its financial flexibility. These included furloughs, merit increase suspensions, executive wage rollbacks, discretionary spending reductions, corporate travel suspension, and service provider and other expense reductions. In addition, the Company benefited from lower U.S. healthcare expenses during the second-quarter on a year-over-year basis as a result of a significant decline in preventative and other non-emergency medical care for employees. U.S. healthcare expenses are anticipated to return to historical levels as employees resume normal levels of medical care, and the Company does not expect to see the same level of benefit in the second half of the year.

"Altra's second-quarter execution was outstanding as we exceeded our expectations for both revenue and profitability and demonstrated our ability to perform well in a downturn," said Carl Christenson, Altra's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "The broad diversity of our end markets as a result of the merger has clearly helped mitigate the financial impact of the current economic crisis. Sales were higher than expected due to the outperformance of select markets – including the Class 8 truck and wind turbine markets in China – and better-than-anticipated overall demand during a tough macro-economic environment. Our aggressive actions to reduce costs led to the excellent bottom-line performance as well as strong cash flow generation and debt reduction.

"I am beyond proud of the Altra team around the globe as they continue to strive to keep fellow employees healthy by vigilantly maintaining safety protocols, while at the same time sustaining business continuity and positioning Altra for success in the post-pandemic world," said Christenson. "We expect that certain of our markets will benefit as we move beyond COVID-19, such as factory automation, robotics, medical equipment and food processing.

"While visibility in the second half of the year remains limited due to the uncertainty around COVID-19, we believe we are well positioned to deliver on our new guidance assuming that we maintain current order rates. Against a challenging backdrop, we have demonstrated the incredible resilience of our business model and our team's ability to take actions very quickly to maintain good cash flow and continue to reduce debt during a downturn. We are controlling what we can control in the short-term while protecting the necessary resources to drive growth and thrive as a premier industrial company for the long term when the global economy recovers," concluded Christenson.

Business Outlook

While it is difficult to predict the severity and duration of the pandemic, Altra is updating its guidance to reflect management's best estimate and practical assessment of the financial impact of COVID-19 to the Company's business at this time. The guidance assumes that order levels remain steady. Management is closely monitoring the situation and is prepared to implement further cost-reduction measures should topline demand decelerate. 

Altra is updating guidance for full year 2020 as follows:

  • Full-year 2020 sales in the range of $1,580 million to $1,640 million.
  • GAAP diluted EPS in the range of a loss of $1.16 to a loss of $0.94.
  • Non-GAAP diluted EPS in the range of $2.05 to $2.30.*
  • Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA in the range of $305.0 million to $330.0 million.*
  • Tax rate for the full year of approximately 21% to 23% before discrete items, capital expenditures in the range of $40 to $45 million, and depreciation and amortization in the range of $124 to $127 million.
  • Non-GAAP Adjusted Free cash flow in the range of $160 million to $200 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 Diluted EPS Guidance
Non-GAAP Net Income, Non-GAAP Income From Operations, Non-GAAP Diluted Earnings Per Share, and Non-GAAP Diluted Earnings Per Share Guidance exclude acquisition related amortization expense, acquisition related expense, acquisition related stock compensation expense, restructuring and consolidation costs, non-cash amortization of interest rate swap expense and other income or charges that management does not consider to be directly related to the Company's core operating performance.  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
Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, acquisition related amortization, acquisition related costs, restructuring costs, stock-based compensation, asset impairment and other income or charges that management does not consider to be directly related to the Company's core operating performance.

Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA Margin
Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA by GAAP Net Sales.

Non-GAAP Free Cash Flow
Non-GAAP Free Cash Flow is calculated by deducting purchases of property, plant and equipment and adding back the payment for interest rate swap settlement from net cash flows from operating activities.

Non-GAAP Adjusted Free Cash Flow
Non-GAAP Adjusted Free Cash Flow is calculated by adding back the payment for the interest rate swap settlement to Non-GAAP Free Cash Flow.

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.

All statements, other than statements of historical fact included in this release are forward-looking statements, as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements include, but are not limited to, any statement that may predict, forecast, indicate or imply future results, performance, achievements or events. Forward-looking statements can generally be identified by phrases such as "believes," "expects," "potential," "continues," "may," "should," "seeks," "predicts," "anticipates," "intends," "projects," "estimates," "plans," "could," "designed", "should be," and other similar expressions that denote expectations of future or conditional events rather than statements of fact. Forward-looking statements also may relate to strategies, plans and objectives for, and potential results of, future operations, financial results, financial condition, business prospects, growth strategy and liquidity, and are based upon financial data, market assumptions and management's current business plans and beliefs or current estimates of future results or trends available only as of the time the statements are made, which may become out of date or incomplete. Forward looking statements are inherently uncertain, and investors must recognize that events could differ significantly from our expectations.
