Despite significant and unprecedented macroeconomic headwinds relating to material costs and supply chain constraints, we did not bend. Instead, we rose to the occasion and rapidly identified and deployed targeted actions, including commercial price recovery, manufacturing rebalancing and operational cost mitigation, to partially offset the impact of industry-wide headwinds. At the same time, we never lost sight of our long-term strategic plan and accelerated the execution of operational improvement initiatives to support the business in Q3 2021 and beyond.” 2021 Third Quarter Segment Results Horizon Americas. Net sales decreased $3.2 million, or 2.8%, to $115.9 million when compared to the third quarter of 2020. The net sales decrease was primarily driven by an $7.8 million decrease in the retail sales channel attributable to material and supply chain constraints, partially offset by a combined $3.3 million increase in the e-commerce and industrial sales channels. Horizon Americas generated an operating profit of $12.4 million, a decrease of $0.8 million compared to the third quarter of 2020, primarily driven by the lower net sales described above, partially offset by reduced selling, general and administrative costs (SG&A). Adjusted EBITDA(1) decreased to $14.5 million for the quarter, as compared to $15.5 million for the third quarter of 2020. Horizon Europe-Africa. Net sales decreased $1.8 million, or 2.2%, to $80.7 million when compared to the third quarter of 2020. The net sales decrease was primarily driven by a $7.8 million decrease in the automotive OEM sales channel attributable to semiconductor supply constraints, and a $2.0 million decrease in the aftermarket sales channel. The decrease was partially offset by a $7.0 million increase in the automotive OES sales channel. Horizon Europe-Africa generated an operating loss of $0.2 million, a reduction of $2.6 million compared to the third quarter of 2020, primarily driven by the lower net sales described above, coupled with higher SG&A. Adjusted EBITDA(1) decreased to $3.4 million for the quarter, as compared to $6.1 million for the third quarter of 2020. Balance Sheet and Liquidity. Cash and Availability(2) was $54.9 million, a reduction of $28.5 million compared to December 31, 2020. Working Capital(3) was $109.5 million, an increase of $53.9 million compared to December 31, 2020, primarily reflecting increased raw material costs and in-transit inventory levels due to supply chain and material constraints. Gross debt increased $30.2 million to $296.3 million compared to December 31, 2020, primarily reflecting additional borrowings on the Company’s ABL as well as proceeds from the term loan refinancing completed during the first quarter of 2021. Summary Gohl commented, “I want to thank the global team for its extraordinary efforts so far in 2021. We have delivered exceptional year-to-date results and, despite a challenging macroeconomic environment, continue to improve this business day in and day out. Our sights remain on double-digit margins, and we believe this target is achievable through the continued execution of operational improvement initiatives across our global operations, the optimization of our Europe-Africa manufacturing footprint and, importantly, continuing to serve as the supplier of choice to our customers in our core geographies.

The Company’s management utilizes Adjusted EBITDA as the key measure of company and segment performance and for planning and forecasting purposes, as management believes this measure is most reflective of the operational profitability or loss of the Company and its operating segments and provides management and investors with information to evaluate the operating performance of its business and is representative of its performance used to measure certain of its financial covenants. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income attributable to Horizon Global, which is the most directly comparable financial measure to Adjusted EBITDA that is prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The constant currency presentation, which is a non-GAAP measure, excludes the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We believe providing constant currency information provides valuable supplemental information regarding our growth, consistent with how we evaluate our performance. Constant currency revenue results are calculated by translating current year revenue in local currency using the prior year's currency conversion rate. This non-GAAP measure has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Our use of this term may vary from the use of similarly-titled measures by other issuers due to the potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation and differences due to items subject to interpretation.

Despite significant and unprecedented macroeconomic headwinds relating to material costs and supply chain constraints, we did not bend. Instead, we rose to the occasion and rapidly identified and deployed targeted actions, including commercial price recovery, manufacturing rebalancing and operational cost mitigation, to partially offset the impact of industry-wide headwinds. At the same time, we never lost sight of our long-term strategic plan and accelerated the execution of operational improvement initiatives to support the business in Q3 2021 and beyond.” 2021 Third Quarter Segment Results Horizon Americas. Net sales decreased $3.2 million, or 2.8%, to $115.9 million when compared to the third quarter of 2020. The net sales decrease was primarily driven by an $7.8 million decrease in the retail sales channel attributable to material and supply chain constraints, partially offset by a combined $3.3 million increase in the e-commerce and industrial sales channels. Horizon Americas generated an operating profit of $12.4 million, a decrease of $0.8 million compared to the third quarter of 2020, primarily driven by the lower net sales described above, partially offset by reduced selling, general and administrative costs (SG&A). Adjusted EBITDA(1) decreased to $14.5 million for the quarter, as compared to $15.5 million for the third quarter of 2020. Horizon Europe-Africa. Net sales decreased $1.8 million, or 2.2%, to $80.7 million when compared to the third quarter of 2020. The net sales decrease was primarily driven by a $7.8 million decrease in the automotive OEM sales channel attributable to semiconductor supply constraints, and a $2.0 million decrease in the aftermarket sales channel. The decrease was partially offset by a $7.0 million increase in the automotive OES sales channel. Horizon Europe-Africa generated an operating loss of $0.2 million, a reduction of $2.6 million compared to the third quarter of 2020, primarily driven by the lower net sales described above, coupled with higher SG&A. Adjusted EBITDA(1) decreased to $3.4 million for the quarter, as compared to $6.1 million for the third quarter of 2020. Balance Sheet and Liquidity. Cash and Availability(2) was $54.9 million, a reduction of $28.5 million compared to December 31, 2020. Working Capital(3) was $109.5 million, an increase of $53.9 million compared to December 31, 2020, primarily reflecting increased raw material costs and in-transit inventory levels due to supply chain and material constraints. Gross debt increased $30.2 million to $296.3 million compared to December 31, 2020, primarily reflecting additional borrowings on the Company’s ABL as well as proceeds from the term loan refinancing completed during the first quarter of 2021. Summary Gohl commented, “I want to thank the global team for its extraordinary efforts so far in 2021. We have delivered exceptional year-to-date results and, despite a challenging macroeconomic environment, continue to improve this business day in and day out. Our sights remain on double-digit margins, and we believe this target is achievable through the continued execution of operational improvement initiatives across our global operations, the optimization of our Europe-Africa manufacturing footprint and, importantly, continuing to serve as the supplier of choice to our customers in our core geographies.

(1) Please refer to “Company and Business Segment Financial Information” which details certain costs, expense, other charges, that are included in the determination of net income attributable to Horizon Global under U.S. GAAP, but that management would not consider important in evaluating the quality of the Company’s operating results. The Company’s management utilizes Adjusted EBITDA as the key measure of company and segment performance and for planning and forecasting purposes, as management believes this measure is most reflective of the operational profitability or loss of the Company and its operating segments and provides management and investors with information to evaluate the operating performance of its business and is representative of its performance used to measure certain of its financial covenants. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income attributable to Horizon Global, which is the most directly comparable financial measure to Adjusted EBITDA that is prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. (2) "Cash and Availability" refers to “cash and cash equivalents” and amounts of cash accessible but undrawn from credit facilities. (3) “Working Capital” defined as "total current assets" excluding "cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash", less "total current liabilities" excluding "current maturities, long-term debt" and "short-term operating lease liabilities".

Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income attributable to Horizon Global, which is the most directly comparable financial measure to Adjusted EBITDA that is prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA, as determined and measured by Horizon Global, should also not be compared to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The Company also uses operating income (loss) to measure stand-alone segment performance. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Horizon Global before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and before certain items, as applicable, such as severance, restructuring, relocation and related business disruption costs, gains (losses) on debt extinguishment, impairment of goodwill and other intangibles, non-cash stock compensation, certain product liability and litigation claims, acquisition and integration costs, gains (losses) on business divestitures and other assets, debt issuance costs, board transition support and non-cash unrealized foreign currency remeasurement costs.

The constant currency presentation, which is a non-GAAP measure, excludes the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We believe providing constant currency information provides valuable supplemental information regarding our growth, consistent with how we evaluate our performance. Constant currency revenue results are calculated by translating current year revenue in local currency using the prior year's currency conversion rate. This non-GAAP measure has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Our use of this term may vary from the use of similarly-titled measures by other issuers due to the potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation and differences due to items subject to interpretation.

Third Quarter Highlights Net sales of $196.5 million in a period impacted by rising commodity costs and global supply chain constraints $5.0 million decrease compared to third quarter of 2020 Gross profit of $38.8 million $4.6 million decrease from third quarter of 2020 Gross profit margin(4) decreased to 19.7% from 21.5% in the third quarter of 2020 Operating profit of $6.3 million $2.3 million decrease from third quarter of 2020 Net loss from continuing operations of $2.8 million $4.4 million decrease from third quarter of 2020 Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $13.0 million $3.1 million decrease from third quarter of 2020
Horizon Global Corporation (NYSE: HZN), one of the world’s leading manufacturers of branded towing and trailering equipment, today reported financial results for the third quarter of 2021. “When we launched our turnaround plan in late 2019, we set out to build a strong global organization that would not waver regardless of the external business climate,” stated Terry Gohl, Horizon Global’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our Q3 2021 performance is evidence that we achieved this objective. Despite significant and unprecedented macroeconomic headwinds relating to material costs and supply chain constraints, we did not bend. Instead, we rose to the occasion and rapidly identified and deployed targeted actions, including commercial price recovery, manufacturing rebalancing and operational cost mitigation, to partially offset the impact of industry-wide headwinds. At the same time, we never lost sight of our long-term strategic plan and accelerated the execution of operational improvement initiatives to support the business in Q3 2021 and beyond.” 2021 Third Quarter Segment Results Horizon Americas. Net sales decreased $3.2 million, or 2.8%, to $115.9 million when compared to the third quarter of 2020. The net sales decrease was primarily driven by an $7.8 million decrease in the retail sales channel attributable to material and supply chain constraints, partially offset by a combined $3.3 million increase in the e-commerce and industrial sales channels. Horizon Americas generated an operating profit of $12.4 million, a decrease of $0.8 million compared to the third quarter of 2020, primarily driven by the lower net sales described above, partially offset by reduced selling, general and administrative costs (SG&A). Adjusted EBITDA(1) decreased to $14.5 million for the quarter, as compared to $15.5 million for the third quarter of 2020. Horizon Europe-Africa. Net sales decreased $1.8 million, or 2.2%, to $80.7 million when compared to the third quarter of 2020. The net sales decrease was primarily driven by a $7.8 million decrease in the automotive OEM sales channel attributable to semiconductor supply constraints, and a $2.0 million decrease in the aftermarket sales channel. The decrease was partially offset by a $7.0 million increase in the automotive OES sales channel. Horizon Europe-Africa generated an operating loss of $0.2 million, a reduction of $2.6 million compared to the third quarter of 2020, primarily driven by the lower net sales described above, coupled with higher SG&A. Adjusted EBITDA(1) decreased to $3.4 million for the quarter, as compared to $6.1 million for the third quarter of 2020. Balance Sheet and Liquidity. Cash and Availability(2) was $54.9 million, a reduction of $28.5 million compared to December 31, 2020. Working Capital(3) was $109.5 million, an increase of $53.9 million compared to December 31, 2020, primarily reflecting increased raw material costs and in-transit inventory levels due to supply chain and material constraints. Gross debt increased $30.2 million to $296.3 million compared to December 31, 2020, primarily reflecting additional borrowings on the Company’s ABL as well as proceeds from the term loan refinancing completed during the first quarter of 2021. Summary Gohl commented, “I want to thank the global team for its extraordinary efforts so far in 2021. We have delivered exceptional year-to-date results and, despite a challenging macroeconomic environment, continue to improve this business day in and day out. Our sights remain on double-digit margins, and we believe this target is achievable through the continued execution of operational improvement initiatives across our global operations, the optimization of our Europe-Africa manufacturing footprint and, importantly, continuing to serve as the supplier of choice to our customers in our core geographies.

dollars in thousands) The Company’s management utilizes Adjusted EBITDA as the key measure of company and segment performance and for planning and forecasting purposes, as management believes this measure is most reflective of the operational profitability or loss of the Company and its operating segments and provides management and investors with information to evaluate the operating performance of its business and is representative of its performance used to measure certain of its financial covenants. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income attributable to Horizon Global, which is the most directly comparable financial measure to Adjusted EBITDA that is prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA, as determined and measured by Horizon Global, should also not be compared to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The Company also uses operating income (loss) to measure stand-alone segment performance. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Horizon Global before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and before certain items, as applicable, such as severance, restructuring, relocation and related business disruption costs, gains (losses) on debt extinguishment, impairment of goodwill and other intangibles, non-cash stock compensation, certain product liability and litigation claims, acquisition and integration costs, gains (losses) on business divestitures and other assets, debt issuance costs, board transition support and non-cash unrealized foreign currency remeasurement costs.

The constant currency presentation, which is a non-GAAP measure, excludes the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We believe providing constant currency information provides valuable supplemental information regarding our growth, consistent with how we evaluate our performance. Constant currency revenue results are calculated by translating current year revenue in local currency using the prior year's currency conversion rate. This non-GAAP measure has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Our use of this term may vary from the use of similarly-titled measures by other issuers due to the potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation and differences due to items subject to interpretation.
