Management Comments                          

“We began the year with a strong first quarter that reflects the financial and strategic benefits of the A&S business combination and the new Altra,” said Carl Christenson, Altra’s Chairman and CEO. “First-quarter revenues of $482.8 million were more than double the prior-year quarter as a result of the merger and the continued positive performance of both businesses. Operationally, the business continues to perform well as we delivered solid margins across the board, including gross profit margin of 36.2%, non-GAAP adjusted operating income margin of 18.2% and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA margin of 21.7%. Our focus on cash management yielded $25.3 million of free cash flow in what is seasonally our lowest quarter for free cash flow.*

“The integration of the A&S business and Altra continues to advance exceptionally well,” said Christenson. “With the completion of essentially all the integration activities behind us, our focus has shifted to advancing our strategic initiatives to drive the synergies. In the first quarter, we launched our sales collaboration program, made meaningful progress with our supply chain optimization efforts and continued to integrate our world class business systems across the combined organization.

“First quarter revenues were in line with our expectations as growth in the industrial economy has moderated. Additionally, many of the economic indicators that were negative in the fourth quarter of last year and early in the first quarter of this year have improved resulting in an improved outlook for the overall global economy, including an improved outlook in China and Germany, which are key geographies for Altra.  Based on this and our ongoing success with the A&S integration, we are confident in our ability to deliver continued sales, earnings and free cash flow growth in 2019,” concluded Christenson.

Business Outlook  

Altra is reiterating its top-line and profitability guidance for full year 2019.  

• Full-year 2019 sales are expected to be $1,920 - $1,950 million.

• GAAP diluted EPS in the range of $2.10 to $2.18.

• Non-GAAP diluted EPS in the range of $3.02 to $3.18. *

• Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA in the range of $415 to $430 million. *

• Tax rate for the full year is now expected to be approximately 24.0% to 25.8% before discrete items, a decrease from previous guidance of 25.0% to 26.5%, capital expenditures in the range of $60 to $65 million, and depreciation and amortization in the range of $130 to $140 million.

* Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The non-GAAP financial measures used in this release are utilized by management in comparing our operating performance on a consistent basis.  We believe that these financial measures are appropriate to enhance the overall understanding of our underlying operating performance trends compared to historical and prospective periods and our peers. We believe that these measures provide important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to the Company's financial condition and results of operations as well as insight into the compliance with our debt covenants.  Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information calculated in accordance with GAAP.  Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.  A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures presented above to our GAAP results has been provided in the financial tables included in this press release.

Organic SalesOrganic sales in this release excludes the impact of foreign currency translation.

Non-GAAP Net Income, Non-GAAP income from operations, Non-GAAP Diluted earnings per share and Non-GAAP operating income marginNon-GAAP net income, non-GAAP income from operations and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share exclude acquisition related amortization, 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 operating income margin is calculated by dividing Non-GAAP income from operations by GAAP Net Sales.

Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDAAdjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, acquisition related costs, restructuring costs, stock-based compensation and other income or charges that management does not consider to be directly related to the Company’s core operating performance. 

Non-GAAP Free cash flowNon-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 capitalNon-GAAP operating working capital is calculated by deducting accounts payable from net trade receivables plus inventories.

Net DebtNet debt is calculated by subtracting cash from total debt.
