Altra Industrial Motion Corp. (Nasdaq:AIMC), a global
manufacturer and marketer of electromechanical power transmission
and motion control products, today announced unaudited financial
results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2016.
Financial Highlights
- First-quarter 2016 net sales were $180.5 million, compared
with $193.4 million in the first quarter of 2015, a
decrease of 6.7%. The decrease in net sales was driven by an
unfavorable impact from foreign exchange of 1.8% and an organic
sales decline of 4.9%.
- First-quarter net income was $8.8 million,
or $0.34 per diluted share, compared with $9.4
million, or $0.36 per diluted share, in the first quarter
of 2015. Non-GAAP net income in the first quarter of
2016 was $9.9 million, or $0.38 per diluted
share, compared with $11.1 million, or $0.42 per diluted
share, a year ago.*
- The Company returned to shareholders $2.2 million by
repurchasing approximately 91,400 shares, during the first quarter
under its $50 million repurchase program. Since the program's
inception in May 2014, the Company has purchased approximately
$37.1 million, or 1.3 million shares, under the program.

Management Comments
“We are on plan with our strategic actions to improve Altra’s
long-term operating performance amid the current soft economic
environment for many of our end markets,” said Carl
Christenson, Altra's Chairman and CEO. “We are seeing the
positive benefits of our operational excellence and business
simplification initiatives, although these gains were offset in the
quarter by the 7% lower sales volume as well as an unfavorable
product mix. We are on track to have completed six consolidations
by the end of the current second quarter, and we anticipate
announcing a seventh planned consolidation during the third
quarter. In addition, our supply chain management initiative is
progressing well. Finally, we continued our balanced capital
allocation as we repurchased $2.2 million of Altra shares.”
Business Outlook
“We are now past the anniversary of when several of our end
markets began to weaken. Therefore, we will have easier comparisons
as we approach the second half of the year and we expect that
year-over-year shipment and order declines will begin to moderate.
Although we do still expect year-over-year sales to be lower for
2016, some external data indicates that in the second half of the
year we may see the global industrial environment improve slightly.
The conventional energy end market is still the most concerning and
we expect it to take some time before equipment and component
demand in this market begins to recover. Our two segments with
limited oil and gas exposure reported meaningful year-over-year
improvement in operating income as a percentage of sales
demonstrating our strong operating leverage. Looking longer-term,
we are excited by the potential for significant margin appreciation
as a result of our aggressive performance improvement actions when
our most out-of-favor markets return to growth.”
Altra is maintaining its previous annual revenue guidance and
expects full-year 2016 sales in the range of $700 to $720 million
and non-GAAP diluted EPS guidance in the range of $1.40 to $1.50.
This guidance includes savings from the restructuring and
consolidation actions taken to date. The Company expects its tax
rate for the full year to be approximately 29% to 31% before
discrete items. Altra continues to expect capital expenditures in
the range of $20 to $24 million and depreciation and amortization
in the range of $30 to $32 million for 2016.*

* Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
As used in this release and the accompanying slides posted on
the Company's website, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share,
non-GAAP income from operations and non-GAAP net income are each
calculated using either net income or income from operations that
excludes acquisition related costs, restructuring costs, 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 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 is calculated
by deducting accounts payable from net trade receivables plus
inventories.
Altra believes that the presentation of non-GAAP net income,
non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP diluted earnings per
share, non-GAAP free cash flow and non-GAAP operating working
capital provides important supplemental information to management
and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to
the Company's financial condition and results of operations.
Forward-Looking Statements
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. These statements include, but may not be
limited to, those relating to the Company's progress on corporate
initiatives, including its supply chain management initiative, the
Company's views and assessment of economic conditions, foreign
currency trends, end market conditions and industrial demand, the
Company's expectations with respect to sales, the Company’s
progress on executing its acquisition and organic growth strategies
and new product development, the Company’s progress on implementing
profit improvement initiatives, the Company's progress and future
plans on implementing and pursuing consolidation and cost reduction
activities, the impact and timing of the Company's cost management
and restructuring activities on earnings, margins and shareholder
value, the Company's unaudited 2016 financial information, and the
Company's guidance for full year 2016.
In addition to the risks and uncertainties noted in this
release, there are certain factors that could cause actual results
to differ materially from those anticipated by some of the
statements made. These include: (1) competitive pressures, (2)
changes in economic conditions in the United States and
abroad and the cyclical nature of our markets, (3) loss of
distributors, (4) the ability to develop new products and respond
to customer needs, (5) risks associated with international
operations, including currency risks, (6) accuracy of estimated
forecasts of OEM customers and the impact of the current global
economic environment on our customers, (7) risks associated with a
disruption to our supply chain, (8) fluctuations in the costs of
raw materials used in our products, (9) product liability claims,
(10) work stoppages and other labor issues, (11) changes in
employment, environmental, tax and other laws and changes in the
enforcement of laws, (12) loss of key management and other
personnel, (13) risks associated with compliance with environmental
laws, (14) the ability to successfully execute, manage and
integrate key acquisitions and mergers, (15) failure to obtain or
protect intellectual property rights, (16) risks associated with
impairment of goodwill or intangibles assets, (17) failure of
operating equipment or information technology infrastructure, (18)
risks associated with our debt leverage and operating covenants
under our debt instruments, (19) risks associated with restrictions
contained in our Convertible Notes and Credit Facility, (20) risks
associated with compliance with tax laws, (21) risks associated
with the global recession and volatility and disruption in the
global financial markets, (22) risks associated with
implementation of our ERP system, (23) risks associated with the
Svendborg and Guardian acquisitions and integration and other
