UFABQ

Board of Director's declares quarterly dividend of $0.15 per share Record quarterly revenues driven by organic growth from successful new product launches

AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Aug. 12, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Unique Fabricating, Inc. ("Unique" or the "Company")(NYSE MKT: 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 its financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 28, 2015, its first quarter as a publicly traded company.

Second Quarter Highlights and Recent Developments

  • Revenue of $35.7 million versus $33.0 million in the second quarter of 2014, an increase of 8.1% year-over-year
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $4.2 million, including $0.9 million for non-cash charges which includes depreciation and amortization and non-cash stock awards, versus $4.4 million in the second quarter of 2014
  • Diluted earnings per share of $0.24 versus $0.25 in the second quarter of 2014
  • Declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per share payable on August 31, 2015 for stockholders of record as of August 24, 2015
  • Completed initial public offering, raising $25.7 million in gross proceeds
  • Began trading as a public company on the New York Stock Exchange MKT on July 1, 2015
  • Secured additional development and prototyping contracts from tier 1 OEMs for patent pending TwinShape line of proprietary ducts for potential inclusion in 2016 and 2017 vehicle programs
  • Launched new thermal wrap for water heaters to increase energy efficiency

"Our financial results for the second quarter reflect the strength of our business and reinforce our confidence that we are well positioned to execute on our long term growth strategy," said John Weinhardt, Chief Executive Officer. "We continue to see a number of favorable trends in both the automotive and industrial markets that we believe will provide us with significant opportunities to organically grow our business. The operating leverage inherent in our business model enables meaningful profitability expansion in excess of revenue growth, which we believe, in turn, will drive incremental free cash flow. Following the successful completion of our initial public offering, we also have the financial flexibility and strength to support our long-term growth."

"In the automotive industry, increased demand for greater fuel efficiency and the need for quieter vehicles to support the use of telematics and infotainment systems in all classes of cars are driving demand for our multi-material foam, rubber and plastic components," Weinhardt added. "We are focused on collectively leveraging these industry trends along with higher new vehicle production volumes, a geographic shift in vehicle production from international manufacturers and evolving customer sourcing strategies to increase content per vehicle and expand our market share."

Weinhardt continued, "In our industrial appliance business, the increase in new housing starts and the continued growth of the home improvement market has increased the demand for our products from appliance OEMs, HVAC and water heater manufacturers."

"We remain committed to the innovation of new products that address the needs of an evolving marketplace and support the organic growth of our business with both existing and new customers, as well as opportunistically evaluating strategic acquisitions that could potentially expand our addressable market," Weinhardt concluded.

Second Quarter Financial Summary

Total revenue for the quarter ended June 28, 2015 increased to $35.7 million, up 8.1%, or $2.7 million from $33.0 million during the same period last year. The increase was driven primarily by the introduction of new products, including the thermal wrap for water heaters which improves energy efficiency, as well as our continued increased market penetration.

Gross profit for the quarter period ended June 28, 2015 was $8.4 million, or 23.6% of total revenue, compared to $9.0 million, or 27.1% of revenues, for the corresponding period last year. The decline in gross margin was due primarily to higher manufacturing costs associated with the launch of the Company's new water heater wrap.

Net income for the quarter ended June 28, 2015 was $1.7 million, or $0.25 per basic and $0.24 per diluted share, respectively, compared to $1.7 million, or $0.25 per basic and diluted share, in the second quarter of 2014.

Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter ended June 28, 2015 was $4.2 million compared to $4.4 million in the second quarter 2014. Second quarter of 2014 Adjusted EBITDA was increased due to addbacks to GAAP net income for various acquisition related expenses, primarily transaction fees and  amortization of the step up in inventory basis to fair market value as a result of purchase accounting for the various acquisitions the Company has completed. Please refer to the financial tables below for a reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP results.

Year to Date Financial Summary

Please note that the prior year-to-date period in 2014 was 26 weeks, compared to 25 weeks in the comparable period this year. Total revenue for the year-to-date period ended June 28, 2015, increased to $68.1 million, up 9.6%, or $6.0 million from $62.1 million for the corresponding period last year. The year over year revenue growth was driven by increased market penetration and the introduction of new products.

Gross profit for the year-to-date period ended June 28, 2015 was $16.4 million, or 24.0% of revenues, compared to $15.7 million, or 25.2% of revenues, for the corresponding period last year.  The decline in gross margin is primarily a result of higher manufacturing costs associated with the launch of Unique Fabricating, Inc.'s (the "Company's") new thermal water heater wraps.

Net income for the year-to-date period ended June 28, 2015 was $2.9 million, or $0.43 per basic and $0.41 per diluted share, respectively, compared to $2.2 million or $0.32 per basic and diluted share in the comparable period last year.

2015 year-to-date Adjusted EBITDA was $7.8 million compared to $7.4 million for the corresponding period last year.  2014 Adjusted EBITDA was increased due to addbacks to GAAP net income for various acquisition related expenses, primarily transaction fees and amortization of the step up in inventory basis to fair market value as a result of purchase accounting for the various acquisitions the Company has completed. Please refer to the financial tables below for a reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP results.

Balance Sheet Summary

The Company ended the June 28, 2015 period with cash and cash equivalents of $759,000 compared to $756,000 at January 4, 2015.

Total debt outstanding at June 28, 2015 was $41.1 million compared to $40.0 million at January 4, 2015.

Forward-looking statements relate to future events or to future financial performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause the Company's or the Company's industry's actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements including statements relating to the Company's 2015 Outlook to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by this press release.  Words such as "may," "will," "could," "would," "should," "anticipate," "predict," "potential," "continue," "expects," "intends," "plans," "projects," "believes," "estimates," "outlook," and similar expressions are used to identify these forward looking statements.  Such forward-looking statements include statements regarding, among other things, our expectations about revenue and earnings per share.  All such forward-looking statements are based on management's present expectations and are subject to certain factors, risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results, outcome of events, timing and performance to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements.  These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those discussed in our Prospectus, dated June 30, 2015 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) and in particular the Section entitled "Risk Factors" of the Prospectus, as well as any updates to those risk factors filed from time to time in our periodic and current reports filed with the SEC.  All statements contained in this press release are made as of the date of this press release, and Unique Fabricating does not intend to update this information, unless required by law.  Reference to the Company's website above does not constitute incorporation of any of the information thereon into this press release.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We present Adjusted EBITDA in this press release to provide a supplemental measure of our operating performance.  We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful performance measure and it is used by us to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis from period-to-period and to provide for a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business than measures under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP) can provide alone.  Our board and management also use Adjusted EBITDA as one of the primary methods for planning and forecasting overall expected performance and for evaluating on a quarterly and annual basis actual results against such expectations, and as a performance evaluation metric in determining achievement of certain compensation programs and plans for Company management.  In addition, the financial covenants in our senior secured credit facility are based on Adjusted EBITDA, as presented in this press release, subject to dollar limitations on certain adjustments.
