| Item 2.02 | Results of Operations and Financial Condition |
On October 24, 2018, Superior Industries International, Inc. (“Superior” or the “Company”) issued a press release announcing the preliminary financial results for the third quarter of 2018 and revising its outlook for 2018. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.
The information contained in Exhibit 99.1 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains statements that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include all statements that do not relate solely to historical or current facts and can generally be identified by the use of future dates or words such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “will,” “expects,” “seeks to,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” “intends,” “predicts,” “projects,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of such terms and other comparable terminology. These statements also include, but are not limited to, the updated 2018 outlook, Superior’s ability to integrate the European operations, and Superior’s strategic and operational initiatives, and are based on current expectations, estimates, and projections about Superior’s business based, in part, on assumptions made by management. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements due to numerous factors, risks and uncertainties discussed in Superior’s Securities and Exchange Commission filings and reports, including Superior’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, and other reports from time to time filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. You are cautioned not to unduly rely on such forward looking statements when evaluating the information presented in this report. Such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made and Superior does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report
