GAMCO Asset Management Inc. ("GAMCO"), an affiliate of GAMCO Investors, Inc. (NYSE: GBL), commented on the announcement by Superior Industries International, Inc. (“Superior” or the “Company”) (NYSE: SUP) of its preliminary financial results for the first quarter of 2016.

GAMCO is pleased that its continued drive for improvement at the Company appears to have bolstered Superior’s management focus on internal operations. GAMCO believes its focus on capital allocation at the Company, beginning with the 2013 proxy contest, has been the catalyst for changes at Superior, including the hiring of Don Stebbins as CEO. GAMCO continues to firmly believe that the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) should concentrate on allocation of capital from internal operations and not “inorganic” growth.

GAMCO has led a multi-year campaign to improve the Board composition and operational efficiency at Superior and would like to thank Superior’s stockholders for their support during its proxy contest. GAMCO would also like to thank its nominees, Matthew Goldfarb, F. Jack Liebau, Jr. and Ryan J. Morris. GAMCO, on behalf of its clients, will continue to rigorously monitor Superior and its Board.

GAMCO Investors, Inc., through its subsidiaries, manages private advisory accounts (GAMCO Asset Management Inc.), mutual funds and closed-end funds (Gabelli Funds, LLC).
