Unique Fabricating, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2021 Financial Results

AUBURN HILLS, MI / ACCESSWIRE / August 12, 2021 / Unique Fabricating, Inc. (NYSE American:UFAB), a leader in engineering and manufacturing multi-material foam, rubber, and plastic components utilized in noise, vibration, and harshness management and air/water sealing applications for the transportation, appliance, medical, and consumer markets, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2021.

Second Quarter 2021 Financial Results

  • Net sales of $30.9 million compared to $15.0 million in the second quarter of 2020.
  • Net loss of $2.5 million or $0.26 per basic and diluted share compared to a net loss of $4.3 million or $0.44 per basic and diluted share in the second quarter of 2020.
  • Net debt (1) increased $7.2 million to $53.6 million as of June 30, 2021, from $46.4 million as of June 30, 2020.
  • Interest expense increased $0.2 million to $0.8 million compared to the prior year period of $0.6 million.

"The structural changes we made to reduce costs and improve operational efficiency are enabling us to navigate significant industry wide, external challenges," said Doug Cain, President and Chief Executive Officer. "The reduced and volatile demand from transportation and appliance market customers has negatively impacted our revenue, and the ongoing labor shortage and supply chain challenges have impacted our margins. We have been executing on our customer cost recovery efforts, and this initiative has helped us mitigate some of this impact. Industry forecasts continue to point to near-term recovery and it appears there is meaningful pent-up demand as a result of the supply chain challenges. We are well-positioned for significant improvement in our results as our customer demand and the supply chain condition improve."

"In the interim, we continue to work productively with our lenders, and to date, we have maintained sufficient liquidity for us to operate in these challenging times," continued Mr. Cain. "On August 9, we received notice that our PPP loan and related interest had been forgiven, strengthening our balance sheet and improving our debt ratios. We expect to recognize a one-time $6.1 million gain related to the debt forgiveness in the third quarter."

Second Quarter 2021 Financial Summary

Net sales for the quarter were $30.9 million, up $15.9 million from $15.0 million during the same period last year. Gross profit for the second quarter of 2021 was $4.6 million, or 14.9% of net sales, compared to $1.8 million, or 12.3% of net sales, for the same period last year. Sequentially, gross profit decreased compared to the $5.9 million, or 16.8% of net sales, in the first quarter of 2021, reflecting the impact on revenue of supply shortages adversely affecting our customers production levels and increased input costs, partially offset by our cost recovery efforts.

Net loss was $2.5 million or $0.26 per basic and diluted share in the second quarter of 2021 compared to a net loss of $4.3 million or $0.44 per basic and diluted share in the second quarter of 2020. The narrowing of the net loss is the result of $15.9 million higher net sales in the second quarter of 2021compared to the second quarter of 2020 when most of our automotive customers idled their production facilities in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Restructuring expenses were $0.3 million lower than the second quarter of 2020, which included expenses related to previously completed facility closures. The lower restructuring expenses were partially offset by higher income tax expense in the second quarter of 2021 as a result of a valuation allowance in the U.S. and higher income in Mexico and Canada compared to the second quarter of 2020. Sequentially, the net loss increased in the second quarter of 2021 as compared to the first quarter of 2021 primarily due to $3.9 million lower net sales as a result of the impact of supply shortages on our automotive customers' production levels, higher input costs including material and direct labor, and higher selling, general and administrative costs related to legal and professional service fees.

Balance Sheet Summary

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had approximately $0.9 million in cash and cash equivalents, compared to June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2020 when the Company had $4.1 million and $0.8 million, respectively, in cash and cash equivalents. Total debt outstanding as of June 30, 2021 was $54.5 million compared to $50.5 million as of June 30, 2020 and $50.4 million as of December 31, 2020. Included in total debt at June 30, 2021, December 31, 2020, and June 30, 2020 is the $6.0 million Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan received in the second quarter of 2020. In August 2021, we received notification from our lender that the U.S. Small Business Administration had approved our forgiveness application. We expect to record a $6.1 million gain in the third quarter of 2021 related to the forgiveness of the loan and accrued interest.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We present Net Debt, a non-GAAP financial measure, in this press release to provide a supplemental measure of our financial position. We believe that Net Debt is a useful measure of the Company's credit position and progress toward reducing leverage. The calculation is limited in that the Company may not always be able to use cash to repay debt on a dollar-for-dollar basis.

We present Consolidated EBITDA (defined as "Consolidated EBITDA" in our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as amended), a non-GAAP financial measure, in this press release to allow evaluation of our covenant compliance in accordance with our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Consolidated EBITDA, as defined in our Credit Agreement, is earnings before interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization expenses, management fees, non-cash stock compensation expenses, restructuring expenses, goodwill impairment charges, and consulting and licensing costs from our ongoing enterprise resource planning ("ERP") system implementation. There may be additional adjustments allowed by the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and there are dollar limitations on certain adjustments and add backs. Please refer to our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as amended, for a complete understanding of all adjustments and add backs allowed to Consolidated EBITDA as well as our financial covenants. The Company is presenting Consolidated EBITDA to measure our covenant compliance, not as a supplemental performance measurement. Certain of the allowable adjustments and add backs to Consolidated EBITDA are recurring in nature and cash expenses, which we believe limits the usefulness of Consolidated EBITDA as a measurement of the Company's performance. As of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2021, we were not in compliance with our financial covenants and, as a result, in default under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. We entered into a Forbearance Agreement with our lenders under which, during a period commencing on April 9, 2021 and through and including June 15, 2021, the Company was able to borrow on its Revolver, subject to the terms and conditions to making a revolving credit advance, including availability, and the Lenders agreed, subject to the terms of the Forbearance Agreement, to forbear from enforcing their rights or seeking to collect payment of the Company's debt or disposing of the collateral securing the debt. On June 14, 2021, the Company entered into the First Amendment to the Forbearance Agreement, which among other things, extended the forbearance period from June 15, 2021 to February 28, 2022, suspended the testing of the Total Leverage Ratio and the Debt Service Ratio and included revised requirements for Minimum Liquidity and Minimum Consolidated EBITDA for the monthly periods through and including February 28, 2022, beginning with the month ending July 31, 2021. The Company intends to use the forbearance period to continue negotiations with the Lenders to enter into an amendment and waiver to cure the defaults. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to enter into an amendment or waiver with the Lenders or if it enters into an amendment, what the terms, restrictions, and covenants of the amendment will contain. Without an amendment and waiver that cures the default, substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern remains.

These non-GAAP financial measures may have limitations as analytical tools, and these measures should not be considered in isolation as a substitute for analysis of Unique Fabricating's results as reported under GAAP.
