(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Detroit, Michigan, May 3, 2013-- American Axle & Manufacturing Holdings, Inc.
(AAM), which is traded as AXL on the NYSE, today reported its financial results
for the first quarter of 2013.
First Quarter 2013 Results
* First quarter 2013 sales of $755.6 million
* Non-GM sales were $188.1 million
* Gross profit of $104.3 million, or 13.8% of sales
* Operating income of $44.7 million, or 5.9% of sales
* Net income of $7.3 million, or $0.10 per share
* AAM's quarterly results reflect the impact of $11.3 million (or $0.13 per
share) of debt refinancing and redemption costs
* Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization excluding the impact of debt refinancing and redemption costs)
of $86.6 million or approximately 11.5% of sales
AAM's net income in the first quarter of 2013 was $7.3 million, or $0.10 per
share as compared to net income of $51.2 million, or $0.68 per share, in the
first quarter of 2012. In the first quarter of 2013, AAM's results reflect the
impact of $11.3 million (or $0.13 per share) of debt refinancing and redemption
costs.
"AAM's financial results in the first quarter of 2013 reflect our commitment to
deliver improved profitability and launch performance globally," said AAM's
President and Chief Executive Officer, David C. Dauch. "While we continue to
take actions to improve our operating and financial performance, we remain
focused on flawlessly launching several major programs in 2013. These include
products supporting GM's next-generation full-size pickup truck and SUV program,
the RAM Heavy Duty pickup truck program, as well as AAM's EcoTrac(TM)
Disconnecting All Wheel Drive system."
Dauch also stated, "In the first quarter of 2013, we took another step in
improving AAM's balance sheet strength. The debt refinancing activities
successfully completed in the quarter were highlighted by the issuance of $400
million of 6.25% Senior Notes due 2021. This supports AAM's future operational
and financial flexibility, and improves our capital structure."
Net sales in the first quarter of 2013 were approximately $755.6 million as
compared to $751.5 million in the first quarter of 2012. Sales in the first
quarter of 2013 reflect the adverse impact of approximately $12.5 million
related to the labor strike at General Motors' Rayong factory in Thailand.
Non-GM sales were $188.1 million in the first quarter of 2013 as compared to
$193.6 million in the first quarter of 2012.
AAM's content-per-vehicle is measured by the dollar value of our products
supporting our customers' North American light truck and SUV programs. In the
first quarter of 2013, AAM's content-per-vehicle increased to $1,504 as compared
to $1,475 in the first quarter of 2012.
AAM's gross profit in the first quarter of 2013 was $104.3 million or 13.8% of
sales as compared to $139.2 million or 18.5% of sales in the first quarter in
2012.
AAM's SG&A spending in the first quarter of 2013 was $59.6 million, or 7.9% of
sales, as compared to $61.8 million, or 8.2% of sales, in the first quarter of
2012. AAM's R&D spending in the first quarter of 2013 was $28.5 million as
compared to $30.1 million in the first quarter of 2012.
In the first quarter of 2013, AAM's operating income was $44.7 million or 5.9%
of sales as compared to $77.4 million or 10.3% of sales in the first quarter of
2012.
In the first quarter of 2013, AAM's net income was $7.3 million or $0.10 per
share as compared to $51.2 million or $0.68 per share in the first quarter of
2012.
AAM defines Adjusted EBITDA to be earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation
and amortization excluding the impact of debt refinancing and redemption costs.
In the first quarter of 2013, AAM's Adjusted EBITDA was $86.6 million or 11.5%
of sales.
AAM defines free cash flow to be net cash used in operating activities less
capital expenditures net of proceeds from the sale of property, plant and
equipment and the sale-leaseback of equipment.
Net cash used in operating activities for the first quarter 2013 was $26.8
million. Capital spending, net of proceeds from the sale of property, plant and
equipment and the sale-leaseback of equipment, for the first quarter 2013 was
$43.9 million. Reflecting the impact of this activity, AAM's free cash flow was
a use of $70.7 million in the first quarter 2013.

at 10:00 AM ET. Interested participants may listen to the live conference call

factors that could cause such differences include, but are not limited to:
global economic conditions, including the impact of the debt crisis in the Euro-

produced by GM and Chrysler); our ability or our customers' and suppliers'
ability to successfully launch new product programs on a timely basis; our
ability to realize the expected revenues from our new and incremental business
backlog; our ability to respond to changes in technology, increased competition

product recall or field actions, product liability and legal proceedings to
which we are or may become a party; our ability to achieve the level of cost
reductions required to sustain global cost competitiveness; our ability to
attract new customers and programs for new products; price volatility in, or
reduced availability of, fuel; our ability to develop and produce new products
that reflect market demand; lower-than-anticipated market acceptance of new or
existing products; our ability to maintain satisfactory labor relations and
avoid work stoppages; our suppliers', our customers' and their suppliers'
ability to maintain satisfactory labor relations and avoid work stoppages; risks
inherent in our international operations (including adverse changes in political
stability, taxes and other law changes, potential disruptions of production and
supply, and currency rate fluctuations); availability of financing for working
capital, capital expenditures, R&D or other general corporate purposes,
including our ability to comply with financial covenants; our customers' and
suppliers' availability of financing for working capital, capital expenditures,
R&D or other general corporate purposes; adverse changes in laws, government
regulations or market conditions affecting our products or our customers'
products (such as the Corporate Average Fuel Economy ("CAFE") regulations);
changes in liabilities arising from pension and other postretirement benefit
obligations; our ability to attract and retain key associates; risks of
noncompliance with environmental laws and regulations or risks of environmental
issues that could result in unforeseen costs at our facilities; our ability or
our customers' and suppliers' ability to comply with the Dodd-Frank Act and
other regulatory requirements and the potential costs of such compliance; our
ability to consummate and integrate acquisitions and joint ventures; other
unanticipated events and conditions that may hinder our ability to compete. It

________________________________________
a. We define EBITDA to be earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA excluding the impact of
curtailment gains, restructuring costs and special charges related to the
closure of the Detroit Manufacturing Complex and Cheektowaga Manufacturing
Facility, and debt refinancing and redemption costs, to the extent
applicable. We believe that EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are meaningful
measures of performance as they are commonly utilized by management and
investors to analyze operating performance and entity valuation. Our
management, the investment community and the banking institutions routinely
use EBITDA, together with other measures, to measure our operating
performance relative to other Tier 1 automotive suppliers. EBITDA and
adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as income from operations, net
income or cash flow from operating activities as determined under GAAP.
Other companies may calculate EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA differently.
b. Net debt is equal to total debt less cash and cash equivalents.
c. Net debt to capital is equal to net debt divided by the sum of stockholders'
deficit and net debt. We believe that net debt to capital is a meaningful
measure of financial condition as it is commonly utilized by management,
investors and creditors to assess relative capital structure risk. Other
companies may calculate net debt to capital differently.
d. We define free cash flow as net cash used in operating activities less
capital expenditures net of proceeds from the sale of property, plant and
equipment and the sale-leaseback of equipment. For purposes of calculating
free cash flow, AAM excludes the impact of purchase buyouts of leased
equipment, if any. We believe free cash flow is a meaningful measure as it
is commonly utilized by management and investors to assess our ability to
generate cash flow from business operations to repay debt and return capital
to our stockholders. Free cash flow is also a key metric used in our
calculation of incentive compensation. Other companies may calculate free
cash flow differently.
e. Special charges, curtailment gains and restructuring costs for the three
months ended March 31, 2012 reflect the favorable impact of postretirement
benefit curtailment gains of $21.8 million (or $0.29 per share); these gains
were partially offset by special charges and restructuring costs of $16.5
million (or $0.22 per share), primarily related to the closure of our
Detroit Manufacturing Complex and Cheektowaga Manufacturing Facility.
