TORONTO -- 

ABC Technologies Holdings Inc. (TSX: ABCT) (“ABC Technologies”, “ABC”, or the “Company”), a leading manufacturer and supplier of custom, highly engineered, technical plastics and lightweighting innovations to the North American light vehicle industry, today announced results for the three months ended September 30, 2021 (“Q1 Fiscal 2022”) and has declared a quarterly cash dividend of C$0.0375 per share. All amounts are shown in United States Dollars (“$”), unless otherwise noted.

Please click HERE for ABC’s First Quarter Fiscal Year 2022 MD&A or refer to the Company’s Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and the Company’s MD&A for same period on the Company’s profile at www.SEDAR.com.

Q1 Fiscal 2022 Highlights

  • Q1 Fiscal 2022 revenue declined to $163.4 million from $258.4 million in the prior year period due to the ongoing production stoppages at our OEM customers brought on by global semiconductor shortages.
  • Revenue declines driven by widespread production interruptions at all our customers and in part due to a difficult year-over-year comparison with the preceding year, during which global production was running at elevated levels, with no supply disruption, as OEMs restarted production following the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Q1 Fiscal 2022 net loss of $28.2 million compared to a net profit of $9.3 million in Q1 Fiscal 2021.
  • Q1 Fiscal 2022 Adjusted EBITDA1,2 of negative $11.3 million, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $40.2 million in the prior year period primarily on account of the above-mentioned revenue declines as well as continued elevated resin pricing.
  • Q1 Fiscal 2022 Adjusted Free Cash Flow1 of negative $59.5 million largely as a result of the above-mentioned negative operating results versus Free Cash Flow of $56.5 million in Q1 Fiscal 2021 driven by both favorable operating results and a one-time swing in working capital due to global production restarts following the trough of the COVID-19 pandemic in Fiscal 2021.
  • Dividend of C$0.0375 per share declared.
  • Recognized by Nissan as winner of the Supplier Diversity Award, recognizing suppliers who exceed Nissan objectives by successfully expanding opportunities for diverse businesses using certified minority suppliers.
  • Announced sale by ABC Group Canada LP, an affiliate of funds managed by Cerberus Capital Management, L.P, of its remaining minority stake in the Company to funds managed by Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. for C$9.00 per share; transaction closed on November 10, 2021.
  • Proactively amended Credit Facility to provide additional flexibility to manage through the impact of semiconductor related business slowdowns covering the next five quarters.

 ABC Technologies’ President and Chief Executive Officer, Todd Sheppelman, commented: “ABC continues to control the controllable and manage through the industry-wide global semiconductor crisis that is now in its third quarter of impacting global automotive production. While we are hopeful that this quarter just completed represents the worst of the OEM production curtailments, we still expect to see continued interruptions through the remainder of our Fiscal 2022. We are making concerted efforts to reduce costs where possible while maintaining the ability to ramp production back to normal levels and support our global customer base. As we navigate this challenging period, we know the retail customer demand environment continues to remain strong as economies around the world slowly return to normal and the supply of new vehicles on dealer lots continues to dwindle. We are excited for the opportunities that lay ahead for ABC and the auto industry as we continue to expect a number of strong years ahead once the supply chain disruptions subside.”

Q1 Fiscal 2022 Results of Operations

Sales were $163.4 million for Q1 Fiscal 2022 compared with $258.4 million for Q1 Fiscal 2021, a decrease of $95.0 million or 36.8%. Of the $95.0M decrease, tooling sales in Q1 Fiscal 2022 were $9.4M lower than Q1 Fiscal 2021. According to IHS Markit reports, industry production in North America decreased by 25.2% in Q1 Fiscal 2022 compared to Q1 Fiscal 2021. Lost production due to OEM plant closures due to semiconductor shortages resulted in a significant decrease in revenue compared to the comparable prior year period where production had approached near normal production levels after the initial COVID-19 lockdowns that had occurred in the period from March to May 2020. Sales for the Company were disproportionately affected more than the industry as a significant customer of the Company was affected by the semiconductor shortage to a greater extent than many of its peers.

Cost of sales was $162.4 million for Q1 Fiscal 2022 compared with $209.1 million for Q1 Fiscal 2021, a decrease of $46.7 million or 22.3%. As a percentage of sales, cost of sales was 99.4% for Q1 Fiscal 2022 compared with 80.9% for Q1 Fiscal 2021. Gross margin in Q1 Fiscal 2022 was lower as a result of increased raw material costs, primarily resin, and higher costs resulting from inefficiencies due to frequent plant closures, often with very little notice, from our OEM customers. Q1 Fiscal 2021 benefited from $4.8 million in Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (“CEWS”) payments in the period, versus Q1 Fiscal 2022 where the Company was ineligible to receive CEWS.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $28.3 million for Q1 Fiscal 2022 compared with $29.4 million for Q1 Fiscal 2021, a decrease of $1.2 million or 4.0%. As a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses were 17.3% for Q1 Fiscal 2022 compared with 11.4% for Q1 Fiscal 2021. Wages and salaries in Q1 Fiscal 2022 were $2.3 million higher than the comparable period as the Company invested in building staff competencies in advance of going public. In addition, Q1 Fiscal 2021 benefited from $1.0 million in CEWS payments that reduced wages expense in that period, while the Company was not eligible to receive CEWS in the current period. Share based compensation of $0.7 million is included in Q1 Fiscal 2022 versus $0 in the comparable prior year period, when the Company was a private company. More than offsetting these increases were reductions of foreign exchange losses of $3.4 million and $1.1 million in lower transaction, recruitment and bonus expenses in Q1 Fiscal 2022 compared to the prior year.

Net loss was $28.2 million for Q1 Fiscal 2022 compared with net income of $9.3 million for Q1 Fiscal 2021, a decrease of $37.5 million. Primary contributors to the change between periods was a $48.3 million reduction in gross margin in Q1 Fiscal 2022 due to the combination of lower revenue associated with the semiconductor shortages, higher input costs, primarily due to increased resin costs, and inefficient plant operations due to short notification by OEMs of their own plant closures, partially offset by a favorable $12.5 million swing in tax expense to recovery.

Adjusted EBITDA1 was $(11.3) million for Fiscal 2021 compared with $41.2 million for Fiscal 2020, a decrease of $52.6 million. Primary contributors to the decrease are a $37.5 million reduction in net income, $12.2 million due to the income tax swing from expense to recovery and $4.3 million due to reduced income from joint venture companies compared to the prior year period.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow1 was negative $59.5 million, a decline of $116.0 million versus Q1 Fiscal 2021, primarily as a result of higher operating cash flows and excluding one-time advisory, bonus and other costs.

Fiscal 2022 Guidance

With the production environment continuing to be extremely volatile, with unscheduled weekly production call-offs becoming a part of the normal operating environment for the time being, management believes it is still not prudent to provide financial guidance at this time. ABC will continually monitor the production schedules of customers and provide guidance in the future when these factors can be quantified appropriately.

Management remains confident in the go-forward performance potential of ABC and it maintains the view that following the current supply chain issues, ABC will be able to return to the superior absolute and relative margins it enjoyed prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Dividend

The Board of Directors today has declared a Q1 Fiscal 2022 quarterly cash dividend of C$0.0375 per share, payable on or about December 30, 2021 to shareholders of record on November 30, 2021.

Non-IFRS Measures and Key Indicators

This news release uses certain non-IFRS financial measures and ratios. Management uses these non-IFRS financial measures for purposes of comparison to prior periods, to prepare annual operating budgets, and for the development of future projections and earnings growth prospects. This information is also used by management to measure the profitability of ongoing operations and in analyzing our financial condition, business performance and trends. These measures are not recognized measures under IFRS, do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Rather, these measures are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS

measures by providing further understanding of our results of operations from management’s perspective. Accordingly, they should not be considered in isolation, nor as a substitute, for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS. We use non-IFRS financial measures including Net Debt, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion to provide supplemental measures of our operating performance and thus highlight trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when using IFRS financial measures. We believe that the presentation of these financial measures enhances an investor’s understanding of our financial performance as these measures are widely used by

investors, securities analysts and other interested parties.

“Net Debt” means (i) long-term debt less cash plus (ii) proportionate long-term debt held at joint ventures less proportionate cash held at joint ventures.

“EBITDA” means net earnings (loss) before interest expense, income tax expense (recovery), depreciation of property, plant and equipment, depreciation of right-of-use assets, and amortization of intangible assets.

“Adjusted EBITDA” means EBITDA plus: loss on disposal and write-down of assets, unrealized loss (gain) on derivative financial instruments, transactional, recruitment, and other bonuses, business transformation and related costs (which may include severance and restructuring expenses), less our share of income of joint ventures, plus the Company’s proportionate share of the EBITDA generated by our joint ventures, and share-based compensation expense. We also present Adjusted EBITDA excluding the impact of IFRS 16 by charging the lease payments applicable to those periods to expense as was the case prior to IFRS 16 – Leases (“IFRS 16”). The purpose of this is to allow direct comparability of these periods to Adjusted EBITDA performance in prior periods, which have been calculated under the previous accounting standards.

"Adjusted EBITDA Margin" means Adjusted EBITDA divided by sales adjusted to include the proportional share of joint venture sales attributable to ABC.

“Adjusted Free Cash Flow” means Net Cash Flows from Operating Activities less: purchases of property, plant and equipment, additions to intangible assets, lease payments, plus: proceeds from disposal of property, plant, and equipment; cash dividends received from joint ventures; and one time advisory, bonus and other costs.

_______________________

1

The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). However, the Company considers certain non-IFRS financial measures including “Adjusted EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA Margin”, and “Adjusted Free Cash Flow” as useful additional information in measuring the financial performance and condition of the Company. These measures, which the Company believes are widely used by investors, securities analysts and other interested parties in evaluating the Company’s performance, do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other publicly traded companies, nor should they be construed as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with IFRS. For a reconciliation of non-IFRS measures used in this news release, including “Adjusted EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA Margin”, and “Adjusted Free Cash Flow” to measures determined in accordance with IFRS that are their closest analogues, please see heading “Non-IFRS Measures and Key Indicators” below.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure. For a reconciliation of non-IFRS measures to measures determined in accordance with IFRS please see the heading “Non-IFRS Measures and Key Indicators” below.
