Horizon Global Corporation (NYSE: HZN), one of the leading
manufacturers of branded towing and trailering equipment, today
reported financial results for the second quarter of 2022.
"We entered the quarter with inventory levels positioned to meet
expected seasonal demand levels for our higher margin non-OE
business," stated Terry Gohl, Horizon Global’s President and Chief
Executive Officer. "Seasonal demand fell significantly below our
expectations as many of our larger customers deployed their own
elevated inventories to service the market. This led to lower than
expected in-bound orders and reduced volumes in our higher margin
sales channels, which resulted in lower net sales and an
unfavorable volume mix. We expect non-OE order volumes to pick up
as our customers’ inventory tapers off, which, together with
significant reductions to our purchasing levels, should
meaningfully reduce our inventory levels and improve our working
capital position during the back half of 2022."
Gohl continued, "We continued to contend with unpredictable OEM
production schedules due to ongoing supply chain constraints. This
choppiness negatively impacted our volumes and resulted in
operational inefficiencies at facilities where we were unable to
fully flex our operations. We expect our performance to improve in
this sales channel based on a recent stabilization of OEM
production schedules and a positive global OEM outlook for the
remainder of 2022."
2022 Second Quarter Segment
Results Horizon Americas. Net sales decreased
$17.5 million, or 13.6%, to $110.9 million when compared to the
second quarter of 2021. This decrease was primarily driven by a
$16.9 million reduction in the aftermarket sales channel
attributable to lower sales volumes, with many large customers
using their existing inventories to satisfy consumer demand. Gross
profit decreased $17.9 million, driven by lower net sales and a
significant mix shift from higher margin to lower margin sales
channels, coupled with unfavorable manufacturing input costs,
primarily increased material costs. Adjusted EBITDA(1) decreased to
$3.4 million, as compared to $18.5 million for the second quarter
of 2021, primarily due to unfavorable gross profit.
Horizon Europe-Africa. Net sales decreased $23.4 million,
or 25.0%, to $70.3 million when compared to the second quarter of
2021. This decrease was primarily due to a combined decrease of
$14.5 million in the automotive OEM and OES sales channels and an
$8.9 million decrease in the aftermarket sales channel, which were
attributable to lower sales volumes. Net sales were also negatively
impacted by $8.7 million of unfavorable currency translation in the
second quarter of 2022. Gross profit decreased $8.7 million, driven
by lower net sales and a mix shift from higher margin to lower
margin sales channels, coupled with increased material costs and
operational inefficiencies resulting from OEM customer disruptions.
Adjusted EBITDA(1) declined to $(1.5) million, as compared to $5.1
million for the second quarter of 2021, primarily due to
unfavorable gross profit.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity. Cash and Availability(2) was
$46.5 million, an increase of $7.3 million compared to December 31,
2021. Working Capital(3) was $106.2 million, a decrease of $2.6
million compared to December 31, 2021. Gross debt increased $98.9
million to $399.7 million compared to December 31, 2021, primarily
reflecting $90.0 million of additional borrowings under the
Company’s term loan facility. On July 1, 2022, the additional term
loan borrowings were used to repay $85.0 million of aggregate
principal on the Company’s Convertible Notes. The Company also
issued $41.0 million of Series B Preferred Stock in exchange for
$40.0 million of Convertible Notes as of June 30, 2022.
Summary "Despite the
negative impact of uncontrollable outside factors on our
performance, we remain focused on improving our commercial position
and aggressively controlling costs," Gohl stated. "We continue to
innovate and introduce new and exciting products and our customers
continue to reward our innovation with new business awards. We are
also taking action to reduce costs and uncertainty in our supply
chain by identifying alternative suppliers and insourcing the
production of various components. Further, continuous improvement
is in our DNA and we are fully leveraging both past and ongoing
initiatives to flex our operations and manage controllable costs
throughout the business."
Gohl closed, "We are operating in a challenging business
environment, but the foundation of our business remains strong with
a dedicated team, innovative products and iconic brands. We look
forward to building upon this foundation to create value for our
shareholders."

Please refer to "Company and Business
Segment Financial Information" which details certain costs,
expense, other charges, that are included in the determination of
net income attributable to Horizon Global under U.S. GAAP, but that
management would not consider important in evaluating the quality
of the Company’s operating results. The Company’s management
utilizes Adjusted EBITDA as the key measure of company and segment
performance and for planning and forecasting purposes, as
management believes this measure is most reflective of the
operational profitability or loss of the Company and its operating
segments and provides management and investors with information to
evaluate the operating performance of its business and is
representative of its performance used to measure certain of its
financial covenants. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a
substitute for results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and
should not be considered an alternative to net income attributable
to Horizon Global, which is the most directly comparable financial
measure to Adjusted EBITDA that is prepared in accordance with U.S.
GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA, as determined and measured by Horizon
Global, should also not be compared to similarly titled measures
reported by other companies.

Appendix I
Horizon Global Corporation Company
and Business Segment Financial Information (Unaudited -
dollars in thousands)
The Company’s management utilizes Adjusted EBITDA as the key
measure of company and segment performance and for planning and
forecasting purposes, as management believes this measure is most
reflective of the operational profitability or loss of the Company
and its operating segments and provides management and investors
with information to evaluate the operating performance of its
business and is representative of its performance used to measure
certain of its financial covenants, further discussed in the
Liquidity and Capital Resources section below. Adjusted EBITDA
should not be considered a substitute for results prepared in
accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered an
alternative to net income attributable to Horizon Global, which is
the most directly comparable financial measure to Adjusted EBITDA
that is prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA, as
determined and measured by Horizon Global, should also not be
compared to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
The Company also uses operating profit (loss) to measure
stand-alone segment performance.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) attributable to
Horizon Global before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation
and amortization, and before certain items, as applicable, such as
severance, restructuring, relocation and related business
disruption costs, gains (losses) on extinguishment of debt,
impairment of goodwill and other intangibles, non-cash stock
compensation, certain product liability and litigation claims,
acquisition and integration costs, gains (losses) on business
divestitures and other assets, debt issuance costs, board
transition support and non-cash unrealized foreign currency
remeasurement costs.
Adjusted EBITDA for our operating segments for the three months
ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 is as follows:

Reconciliation of Reported Revenue Growth to Constant
Currency Basis (Unaudited)
We evaluate growth in our operations on both an as reported and
a constant currency basis. 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. This non-GAAP measure has
limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in
isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results as
reported under GAAP. Our use of this term may vary from the use of
similarly-titled measures by other issuers due to the potential
inconsistencies in the method of calculation and differences due to
items subject to interpretation.
