Superior Industries International, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

March 31, 2025

(in thousands, except share or per share amounts, or as otherwise noted)

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Description of the Business

The principal business of Superior Industries International, Inc. (referred herein as the “Company” or “Superior”) is the design and manufacture of aluminum wheels for sale to original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) in North America and Europe, and to the aftermarket in Europe. The Company’s aluminum wheels are primarily sold to OEMs for factory installation on new light vehicles. Aluminum wheels sold in the European aftermarket are under the brands ATS, RIAL, ALUTEC, and ANZIO. North America and Europe represent the primary markets for the Company’s products, but it has a diversified global customer base consisting of North American, European, and Asian OEMs.

Basis of Presentation - Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, of a normal and recurring nature, which management believes are necessary for fair presentation of the financial statements. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, which was filed with the SEC on March 6, 2025 (the “2024 Form 10-K”).

 

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

 

Interim financial reporting standards require the use of estimates that are based on assumptions regarding the outcome of future events and circumstances not known at that time. Inevitably, some assumptions may not materialize, unanticipated events or circumstances may occur which vary from those estimates and such variations may significantly affect future results. Additionally, operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025.

 

Going Concern

Subsequent to March 31, 2025, the Company was notified by certain customers in North America of their intent to resource to other suppliers substantially all outstanding purchase orders in the near-term with a minimal wind-down period and to not issue any additional purchase orders to the Company thereafter. Prior to these notifications, the Company estimated these customers to represent approximately 33% of its projected consolidated net sales for the 2025 fiscal year. These customers represented approximately 40% of the Company’s consolidated net sales for the year ended December 31, 2024, and approximately 36% of the Company’s consolidated net sales for the year ended December 31, 2023. Refer to Note 16 “Subsequent Events” for additional information. Additionally, in May 2025 the financial institutions that are the counterparties to the Company’s factoring arrangements suspended its use of these programs.

 

The Company has historically met its cash requirements and funded its operations from a combination of cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operating activities, cash from its debt facilities, and cash from the sale of trade receivables under its factoring arrangements. Subsequent to March 31, 2025, the Company borrowed $42.5 million on its revolving credit facility, which represents all available capacity on the facility, as these actions described above are expected to significantly affect the Company’s ability to generate cash from operating activities or from the sale of trade receivables in the near term. Based on its current estimates and forecasts, including consideration of the amount drawn on the revolving credit facility, the Company does not expect that it will have the cash and cash equivalents or sufficient liquidity to fund its operations and meet its obligations as they become due over the next twelve months from the issuance date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Additionally, the Company expects it will not be able to meet its financial covenants under its Credit Agreements as early as June 30, 2025, if it does not obtain additional sources of funding, amend the applicable provisions in its Credit Agreements or obtain waivers with respect thereto prior to that date. Therefore, these adverse conditions and events described above raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern as of the issuance date.

 

6


 

The Company has engaged third party financial advisors to assist management in seeking opportunities to improve liquidity and operational performance, evaluating additional debt or equity financing opportunities, and seeking other strategic transactions including, but not limited to, the potential sale or divestiture of assets. The Company is currently in discussions with its term loan lenders on a potential new financing arrangement and potential covenant relief. Additionally, the Company’s plans include eliminating capital expenditures previously planned and reducing capital expenditures to a minimum level to maintain existing equipment to support the current business needs; and pursuing initiatives to reduce investments in working capital, primarily inventory.

 

While the Company believes the implementation of some of the elements of its plan over the next twelve months from the issuance date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements will be successful, they are not all solely within management’s control and, as such, can provide no assurance these plans are probable of being effectively implemented as of the issuance date. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2025 have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents generally consist of cash, certificates of deposit, fixed deposits, and money market funds with original maturities of three months or less. The Company is required to provide cash collateral in connection with certain contractual arrangements. The Company has $0.7 million and $0.4 million of restricted cash as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 in support of these arrangements and requirements.

Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted

Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740).” In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which is intended to enhance the transparency, decision usefulness, and effectiveness of income tax disclosures. This amendment requires a public entity to disclose a tabular tax rate reconciliation, using both percentages and currency, with specific categories. A public entity is also required to provide a qualitative description of the states and local jurisdictions that make up the majority of the effect of the state and local income tax category and the net amount of income taxes paid, disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign taxes and also disaggregated by individual jurisdictions. The amendment is effective prospectively for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adopting this guidance.

Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures.” In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses”, which is intended to provided disaggregated information about a public business entity's expenses to help financial statement users better understand the entity’s performance, better assess the entity's prospects for future cash flows, and compare an entity’s performance over time and with that of other entities. The amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The new standard may be applied either on a prospective or retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adopting this guidance.

 

NOTE 2 – REVENUE

The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts by its reportable segments, North America and Europe. Revenues by segment for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 are summarized in Note 4, “Business Segments.”

The opening and closing balances of the Company’s trade receivables, and current and long-term contract liabilities are as follows:

NOTE 3 - DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE

The Company is exposed to market risks such as fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, and aluminum and other commodity prices. Derivative financial instruments may be used to offset some of the effects of these market risks on the expected future cash flows and on certain existing assets and liabilities. In certain cases, the Company may or may not designate certain derivative instruments as hedges for accounting purposes. The Company may choose not to hedge certain exposures for a variety of reasons including, but not limited to, accounting considerations and the prohibitive economic cost of hedging particular exposures.

7


 

Market Risks

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

The Company has manufacturing locations primarily in Mexico and Poland and sells its products globally. As a result, the Company’s financial results could be significantly affected by foreign currency exchange rates. To help mitigate gross margin and cash flow fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, certain subsidiaries in Mexico and Poland, whose functional currency is the U.S. dollar or the Euro, may hedge a portion of their forecasted foreign currency exposure denominated in the Mexican Peso and Polish Zloty using foreign currency forward contracts up to 48 months. The Company has designated some of its foreign currency contracts as cash flow hedging instruments.

Interest Rate Risk

The borrowings under the Company’s Senior Secured Credit Facilities (as subsequently defined) are at variable rates of interest and expose it to interest rate risk. If interest rates increase, debt service obligations on the variable rate indebtedness will increase even though the amount borrowed remains the same. The Company hedges a portion of its interest rate risk through interest rate swaps that exchange floating for fixed-rate interest payments and has designated these contracts as cash flow hedging instruments. The interest rate swaps outstanding at March 31, 2025 mature on December 31, 2025.

Commodity Price Risk

The principal raw material used in manufacturing aluminum wheels is aluminum alloys. While wheel prices under OEM customer contracts are adjusted for fluctuations in the cost of this material, the prices of its aftermarket wheels are generally fixed months in advance of the spring and winter sales seasons. Accordingly, the Company hedges a portion of its aftermarket aluminum purchases to offset the effect of fluctuating aluminum cost on its margins. In addition, the manufacture of aluminum wheels is energy-intensive so, the Company also fixes a portion of its natural gas and electricity purchases with derivatives or contractual arrangements with energy suppliers.

Assets and Fair Values Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Asset and Liability Instruments

The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate their fair values due to the short period of time until maturity.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments is estimated using the income valuation approach, which projects future cash flows and discounts the future amounts to a present value using market-based expectations for interest rates, foreign exchange rates, commodity prices, and the contractual terms of the derivative instruments (Level 2). The discount rate used is the relevant benchmark rate (e.g., the secured overnight financing rate, “SOFR”) plus an adjustment for counterparty risk.

The fair value of the Company's embedded derivatives is estimated using either a market based approach or an income based approach, which uses Company-specific inputs and assumptions (Level 3), such as discount rates.

 

The following tables display the fair value of derivatives by financial statement line item as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

Senior Secured Credit Facilities

The Company has senior secured credit facilities under the credit agreement dated August 14, 2024 (as amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified, the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”) that consists of a $60.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) and a $520.0 million term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”). The Term Loan Facility matures on December 15, 2028 (with no springing maturity) and the Revolving Credit Facility will mature on December 15, 2027.

 

On March 31, 2025, the Company entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to its Term Loan Facility to, among other things, (i) increase the liquidity threshold, which would trigger a mandatory prepayment of term loans, from $80.0 million to $115.0 million and (ii) include the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to factor assets under certain securitization agreements in the calculation of liquidity for the purposes of determining whether a mandatory prepayment is required.

 

The Term Loan Facility contains a mandatory prepayment provision upon the event of default, which the Company has accounted for separately as a derivative liability. As of March 31, 2025, the Company has recorded a derivative liability of $1.0 million in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company prepaid $2.2 million in principal for the Term Loan Facility under one of the mandatory prepayment provisions.

 

As of March 31, 2025, the interest rate in effect on borrowings under the Term Loan Facility was 11.8%.

 

Further information on prepayments, interest rates, guarantees and collateral security, covenants, and other terms and conditions of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities is included in the Company’s 2024 Form 10-K.

 

As of March 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities.

 

Available Unused Commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility

As of March 31, 2025, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and unused commitments of $42.5 million, which has been reduced for outstanding letters of credit of $17.5 million. Subsequent to March 31, 2025, the Company drew down the full availability on the Revolving Credit Facility of $42.5 million.

 

Factoring Arrangements

 

The Company sells certain customer trade receivables under factoring arrangements with designated financial institutions, which are accounted for as a sale. The fair value of assets received as proceeds in exchange for the transfer of accounts receivable under these

12


 

factoring arrangements approximates fair value of such receivables and cash proceeds are included in cash provided by operating activities. The Company’s ongoing involvement under the factoring arrangements is limited to processing of customer payments on the factored receivables. Factoring arrangements incorporate customary representations and warranties, including representations as to validity of amounts due, completeness of performance obligations, and absence of commercial disputes.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company sold trade receivables totaling $225.9 million and $161.8 million and incurred factoring fees of $1.8 million and $1.2 million.

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, receivables of $110.5 million and $70.9 million had been factored and had not yet been paid by customers to the respective financial institutions. Subsequent to March 31, 2025, the financial institutions that are party to its factoring arrangements suspended the Company's use of the programs.

 

NOTE 8 - SUPPLIER FINANCE PROGRAM

The Company receives extended payment terms for a portion of its purchases (90 days rather than 60 days) with one of its principal aluminum suppliers in exchange for a nominal adjustment to the product pricing. The supplier factors receivables due from the Company with a financial institution. Obligations due to the factoring institution under this program as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were $28.1 million and $26.0 million. Subsequent to March 31, 2025, the financial institution that is the party to this supply chain finance arrangement suspended the Company's use of the program.

 

NOTE 9 - REDEEMABLE SHARES

Preferred Stock

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, preferred stock dividends of $3.8 million were paid-in-kind, which increased the stated value of the preferred stock. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the stated values of the preferred stock were $163.9 million and $160.1 million, and the corresponding carrying values were $302.4 million and $288.5 million.

The preferred shares will continue to accrue dividends at 9.0% on the stated value. The associated redemption premium on the increase in the stated value will be accreted from July 1, 2024 through September 14, 2025 using the interest method. The redemption value will be the greater of (i) two times the then-current Stated Value (defined in the Certificate of Designations as $1,000 per share, plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends or dividends paid-in-kind), which as of March 31, 2025 would be equivalent to a $327.9 million redemption value, and (ii) the product of the number of shares of common stock into which the redeemable preferred stock could be converted at the time of such redemption (5.8 million shares currently) and the then-Current Market Price (defined in the Certificate of Designations as the arithmetic average of VWAP per share of common stock for each of the thirty (30) consecutive full trading days ending on the trading day before the record date with respect to such action) of our common stock.

The redeemable preferred stock may be redeemed at the holder’s election on or after September 14, 2025 or upon the occurrence of a redemption event, provided the Company has cash legally available to pay such redemption. If the Company is unable to redeem the shares of preferred stock in full, any shares of preferred stock not redeemed would continue to receive an annual dividend of 9.0% on the stated value which would be payable quarterly. The Board of Directors would have to evaluate periodically the ability of the Company to make any redemption payments until the full redemption amount has been paid.

The Company has determined that the conversion option and the redemption option exercisable upon the occurrence of a “redemption event” which are embedded in the redeemable preferred stock must be accounted for separately from the redeemable preferred stock as a derivative liability.

As of March 31, 2025, there have been no changes in the preferred shareholder rights, including conversion and redemption rights from those described in the Company’s 2024 Form 10-K.

Noncontrolling Redeemable Equity

The Company has a noncontrolling interest that is currently redeemable. It is presented in the temporary equity section of the condensed consolidated balance sheets and is adjusted to its redemption value at the end of each reporting period.

NOTE 10 – EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss), after deducting preferred dividends and accretion, and European noncontrolling redeemable equity dividends, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. In calculating diluted earnings per share, the weighted average shares outstanding considers the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options, and time and performance based restricted stock units under the treasury stock method. Approximately 622.7 thousand and 874.0 thousand stock-based compensation shares discussed in Note 13, “Stock-Based Compensation” have not been included in the diluted earnings per share because they would be anti-dilutive for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

13


 

In calculating basic and diluted earnings per share, a company with participating securities must allocate earnings to the participating securities with a corresponding reduction in the earnings attributable to common shares under the two-class method. Losses are only allocated to participating securities when the security holders have a contractual obligation to share in the losses of the Company with common stockholders. Because the redeemable preferred shareholders do not have a contractual obligation to share in the Company’s losses with common stockholders, the full amount of the Company’s losses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were attributed to the common shares. Thus, the redeemable preferred shares discussed in Note 9, “Redeemable Shares” (convertible into 5,821 thousand shares) have not been included in the diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

NOTE 11 - INCOME TAXES

For interim periods, we generally utilize the estimated annual effective tax rate method under which the estimated annual effective tax rate is forecasted quarterly using actual historical information and forward-looking estimates and applied to year-to-date ordinary income. The tax effects of unusual or infrequently occurring items, including changes in judgment about valuation allowances, settlements with taxing authorities and effects of changes in tax laws or rates, and changes due to tax restructuring are reported in the interim period in which they occur.

Income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were a $5.4 million tax benefit on pre-tax losses of $18.4 million, resulting in an effective income tax rate of 29.6 percent. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 differs from the statutory rate primarily due to valuation allowances, the reversal of an uncertain tax position, and the mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions.

Income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were a $16.6 million tax provision on a pre-tax loss of $16.1 million, resulting in an effective income tax rate of (103.4) percent. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 differs from the statutory rate primarily due to valuation allowances, the reversal of an uncertain tax position, the mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions, and a tax charge impacting deferred tax assets related to tax restructuring of $17.8 million.

The Company continuously evaluates the realizability of its net deferred tax assets. As of March 31, 2025, certain U.S. and substantially all its German deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities, were subject to valuation allowances.

The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development issued Pillar Two model rules introducing a new global minimum tax of 15.0% effective January 1, 2024. While the United States has not yet adopted the Pillar Two rules, various other governments around the world have enacted part of the legislation. As currently designed, Pillar Two ultimately applies to the Companys worldwide operations. Currently, enacted Pillar Two legislation does not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. The Company continues to assess U.S. and global legislative action related to Pillar Two for potential effects.

NOTE 13 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Equity Incentive Plan

The Company’s 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), as amended, authorizes it to issue up to 9.75 million shares of common stock, along with non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units and performance restricted stock units to officers, key employees, non-employee directors and consultants. At March 31, 2025, there were 1.6 million shares available for future grants under this Plan. It is the Company’s policy to issue shares from authorized but not issued shares upon the exercise of stock options.

 

Under the terms of the Plan, each year eligible participants are granted time value restricted stock units (“RSUs”), vesting ratably over a three-year period, and performance restricted stock units (“PSUs”) with three-year cliff vesting. Upon vesting, each restricted stock award is exchangeable for one share of the Company’s common stock, with accrued dividends. Unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to nonvested awards of $3.2 million is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.5 years as of March 31, 2025.

 

RSU and PSU activity for the three months ended March 31, 2025 is summarized in the following table:

Long Term Cash Incentive Plan

In 2025, the Company amended its Long Term Cash Incentive Plan (“Cash Plan”) to allow it to grant RSUs and PSUs to certain key employees that are payable in cash. These awards are classified as liabilities, which will increase as the Company’s stock price increases and decrease as its stock price decreases. Under the terms of the Cash Plan, the RSUs vest ratably over a three-year period and are valued based on the fair value of the award at the grant date, then re-measured at each reporting date until settlement with compensation expense being recognized in proportion to the completed requisite period up until the date of settlement. The PSUs have a three-year cliff vesting period and compensation expense is recognized ratably over the requisite service period if it is probable the performance target related to the PSUs will be achieved, then subsequently adjusted if this probability assessment changes in future reporting periods. As of March 31, 2025, the cash-settled share-based liability for these RSUs and PSUs was $1.1 million.

NOTE 14 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Purchase Commitments

When market conditions warrant, the Company may enter into purchase commitments to secure the supply of certain commodities used in the manufacturing process of its products, such as aluminum, electricity, natural gas, and other raw materials. Prices under the Company’s aluminum contracts are based on a market index and regional premiums for processing, transportation, and alloy components, which are adjusted quarterly for purchases in the ensuing quarter. Certain purchase agreements include volume commitments; however, any excess commitments are generally negotiated with suppliers, and those that have occurred in the past have been carried over to future periods.

Contingencies

The Company is party to various legal and environmental proceedings incidental to its business. Certain claims, suits and complaints arising in the ordinary course of business have been filed or are pending against the Company. Based on facts now known, except as provided below, it believes all such matters are adequately provided for, covered by insurance, are without merit and/or involve such amounts that would not materially adversely affect the consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

In March 2022, the German Federal Cartel Office initiated an investigation related to European light alloy wheel manufacturers, including Superior Industries Europe AG (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company), on suspicion of conduct restricting competition. The Company is cooperating fully with the German Federal Cartel Office. In the event Superior Industries Europe AG is deemed to have violated the applicable statutes, it could be subject to a fine or civil proceedings. At this point, the Company is unable to predict the duration or the outcome of the investigation.

The Company purchases electricity and natural gas requirements for its manufacturing operations in Poland from a single energy distributor. Superior and its energy distributor, as well as the parent company of the energy distributor, have filed various claims against one another. These claims generally request the court to determine whether Superior’s energy contracts with the energy distributor were valid during the period December 2021 through May 2022.

In December 2021, the Company’s energy distributor informed the Company that it would no longer supply energy, notwithstanding its contractual obligation to continue supply. Following a request from the Company, the court issued an injunction ordering the energy distributor to continue supplying energy and gas to the Company. In 2022, the Company obtained a final and binding judgment confirming that the original contracts with the energy distributor had not been effectively dissolved, and thus remained binding.

In September of 2022, the energy distributor’s parent company filed a suit against the Company asserting that the Company's energy contracts were no longer valid and asserted the Company owed additional amounts for its purchases between December 2021 and May 2022 equal to the excess of market prices over prices set forth in the original energy contracts. In June 2023, the Company obtained a judgment dismissing the claim in its entirety. In August 2023, the energy distributor’s parent company filed an appeal. Based on developments at an appellate hearing, the Company has concluded that an adverse judgment is now probable. Accordingly, the Company has recognized a provision of $1.5 million which represents the low end of the estimated range of the potential loss. The remaining potential loss is immaterial.

NOTE 15 – RESTRUCTURING

 

The Company initiates restructuring activities to execute management’s strategy, such as gaining operational efficiencies and achieving net cost reductions. Restructuring charges primarily consist of employee severance costs.

NOTE 16 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Subsequent to March 31, 2025, the Company was notified by certain customers in North America of their intent to resource to other suppliers substantially all outstanding purchase orders in the near-term with a minimal wind-down period and to not issue any additional purchase orders to the Company. These customers represented approximately 40% of the Company’s consolidated net sales for the year ended December 31, 2024, and approximately 36% of the Company’s consolidated net sales for the year ended December 31, 2023.

 

As a result of these actions, the Company is evaluating the need for potential asset impairment charges during the second quarter 2025:

At March 31, 2025, the Company had inventory associated with these customers of $24.8 million, which will be evaluated for a potential write-down to net realizable value depending on timing of the remaining agreed upon shipments to be provided to these customers.
At March 31, 2025, the net deferred tax asset is $35.7 million in North America and $4.7 million in Europe. The Company is evaluating whether it is more likely than not it will realize the benefit from its net deferred tax assets and if a valuation allowance is required during the second quarter of 2025.
At March 31, 2025, the net book value of the Company’s property, plant, and equipment of its North America asset group was $169.3 million. The loss of future business will affect the Company’s short-term projections of future cash flows resulting in a triggering event for its North America long-lived asset group. During the second quarter 2025, the Company will perform an undiscounted cash flow recoverability analysis to determine if the value of its asset group is recoverable. If the Company fails the recoverability test, it would be required to estimate the fair value of its North America long-lived asset group and recognize an impairment charge to the extent the net carrying value of the asset group exceeds the fair value.

 

The Company is currently evaluating the effects this will have on the carrying value of the above-described assets as well as its other assets and liabilities and expects to record material asset impairment charges in the second quarter 2025.

Executive Overview

Overview of Superior

The principal business of Superior Industries International, Inc. (referred herein as the “Company,” “Superior,” or “we”, “us”, and “our”) is the design and manufacture of aluminum wheels for sale to original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) in North America and Europe, and to the aftermarket in Europe. Our aluminum wheels are primarily sold to OEMs for factory installation on new light vehicles. We also sell aluminum wheels to the European aftermarket under the brands ATS, RIAL, ALUTEC and ANZIO. North America and Europe represent the primary markets for our products, but we have a diversified global customer base consisting of North American, European, and Asian OEMs.

Demand for our products is mainly driven by light vehicle production levels in North America and Europe and customer take rates on specific vehicle platforms that we serve and wheel SKUs that we produce. The majority of our customers’ wheel programs are awarded two to four years before actual production is expected to begin. Our purchase orders with OEMs are typically specific to a particular vehicle model.

 

The related percentages of total sales for the following customers each accounted for 10% or more of the Company's total sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:

Recent Customer Resourcing Actions

 

Subsequent to March 31, 2025, we were notified by certain customers in North America of their intent to resource to other suppliers substantially all outstanding purchase orders in the near-term with a minimal wind-down period and to not issue any additional purchase orders to us. Prior to these notifications, we estimated these customers to represent approximately 33% of our projected consolidated net sales for the 2025 fiscal year. These customers represented approximately 40% of our consolidated net sales for the year ended December 31, 2024, and approximately 36% of our consolidated net sales for the year ended December 31, 2023. As a result of these actions, we are evaluating the effects this will have on the carrying value of our inventory; deferred tax assets; property, plant, and equipment; as well as our other assets and liabilities and expect to record material asset impairment charges in the second quarter 2025. Refer to Note 16 “Subsequent Events” for additional information.

 

As a result of these actions, based on our current estimates and forecasts, including consideration of the amount drawn on the revolving credit facility, we do not expect that we will have the cash and cash equivalents or sufficient liquidity to fund our operations and meet our obligations as they become due over the next twelve months from the issuance date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Additionally, we expect that we will not be able to meet our financial covenants under our Credit Agreements as early as June 30, 2025, if we do not obtain additional sources of funding, amend the applicable provisions in our Credit Agreements or obtain waivers with respect thereto prior to that date. Therefore, these adverse conditions and events described above raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as of the issuance date. Refer to “Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources” for additional information, as well as Note 1 “Description of Business and Basis of Presentation” to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and Item 1A, “Risk Factors.”

Industry Overview, Supply Chain Disruption, and the Ukraine Conflict

 

There is a broad range of factors which affect automotive industry sales and production volumes, including consumer demand and preferences, dealer inventory levels, labor relations issues, trade agreements, cost and availability of raw materials and components, energy prices, regulatory requirements, government initiatives, availability and cost of credit, changing consumer attitudes toward vehicle ownership, and other factors. Our sales are driven generally by overall automotive industry production volumes and, more specifically, by the volumes of the vehicles for which we supply wheels. In addition, larger diameter wheels and premium finishes command higher unit prices. Larger cars and light trucks, as well as premium vehicle platforms, such as luxury, sport utility and crossover vehicles, typically employ larger diameter wheels and premium finishes.

 

The automotive industry was affected by supply chain disruptions and cost inflation that emerged following the COVID-19 global pandemic, which led to operating challenges for the automotive supplier base. The supply chain disruptions included shortages of semiconductors. Cost inflation has moderated somewhat but remains higher than pre-pandemic levels and has resulted in an increase in the cost of raw materials, labor, and energy. In addition, higher interest rates have adversely affected, and will likely continue to affect, our earnings and cash flow from operations.

 

In early 2022, the Ukraine Conflict contributed to order volatility and intensified inflationary cost pressures, specifically the cost of energy. While the cost of energy moderated in 2023, it remains higher in Europe than prices prevailing prior to the pandemic and the Ukraine Conflict.

 

The prices under our OEM contracts are adjusted for changes in the cost of aluminum and certain other costs; however, our aftermarket contracts do not provide such pass through of aluminum or other costs. Future increases in raw material costs and OEM production volatility may cause our inventory levels to increase, negatively affecting our results of operations and cash flow from operations.

 

Trade and Regulatory Uncertainty

In April 2025, the U.S. government announced additional tariffs on various goods imported to the U.S. and other countries announced reciprocal tariffs on goods imported to such countries, including goods manufactured by us. Some of these additional tariffs have been implemented and others have been conditionally paused, and it is reasonably possible that new or additional tariffs will be periodically announced given the current global trade environment. We continue to monitor and evaluate the direct and indirect effects of these tariffs and heightened global trade disputes. However, these matters are changing rapidly and there is significant uncertainty as to how long and to what degree Superior and the automotive industry will be affected by these additional tariffs, the adverse global trade environment and the resulting economic uncertainty.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses of $15.5 million for the first quarter of 2025 decreased $5.4 million compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to a reduction in costs associated with the European Transformation.

Interest Expense, Net

Net interest expense was $17.0 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared to net interest expense of $15.9 million for the same period in 2024, an increase of 7.3%. The increase in net interest expense was primarily due to the upsizing of the borrowings under the amended and restated term loan, a decrease in interest income, and an increase in interest expense on borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, which was partially offset by a decrease in interest related to the senior notes, which were redeemed during 2024.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Other expense was $2.0 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared to other expense of $0.5 million for the same period in 2024. This increase was primarily due to an increase of foreign exchange loss of $0.8 million and factoring fees of $0.6 million during the first quarter of 2025.

Income Tax (Provision) Benefit

The income tax benefit for the first quarter of 2025 was $5.4 million on a pre-tax loss of $18.4 million, representing an effective income tax rate of 29.6 percent. This differs from the statutory rate primarily due to valuation allowances, the reversal of an uncertain tax position, and the mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions. The income tax provision for the first quarter of 2024 was $16.6 million on pre-tax loss of $16.1 million, representing an effective income tax rate of (103.4) percent. This differs from the statutory rate primarily due to valuation allowances, the reversal of an uncertain tax position, the mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions, and a tax charge affecting deferred tax assets related to tax restructuring of $17.8 million.

Net Income (Loss)

Net loss for the first quarter of 2025 was $12.9 million, or a $0.92 loss per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $32.7 million, or a $1.52 loss per diluted share, for the same period in 2024. The decrease in the net loss is attributable to the aforementioned items above.

North America

Net sales for our North America segment for the first quarter of 2025 increased 5.3% compared to the same period in 2024. The $10.2 million increase in net sales was primarily due to higher aluminum and other pass through costs to our OEM customers of $9.5 million and a higher product mix and pricing of $2.9 million, which was partially offset by lower volumes of $2.0 million.

23


 

North America segment income from operations for the first quarter of 2025 decreased by $3.1 million, as compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to higher conversion costs of $5.9 million and lower volumes of $1.2 million, which was partially offset by higher product mix and pricing of $2.7 million and lower SG&A expenses of $1.2 million.

Europe

Net sales for our European segment for the first quarter of 2025 decreased 4.0% compared to the same period in 2024. The $4.9 million decrease in net sales was primarily due to lower volumes of $4.9 million, unfavorable foreign exchange of $2.1 million, and lower aluminum and other pass through costs to our OEM customers of $0.5 million, which was partially offset by higher product mix and pricing of $2.6 million.

The European segment loss from operations for the first quarter of 2025 was $4.3 million as compared to the loss from operations of $7.8 million in the same period in 2024. This decrease in loss was primarily due to higher product mix and pricing of $4.3 million and lower SG&A expenses of $4.2 million, which was partially offset by higher conversion costs of $4.4 million and lower volumes of $0.6 million.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have historically met our cash requirements and funded our operations from a combination of cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operating activities, cash from its debt facilities, and cash from the sale of trade receivables under its factoring arrangements. In May 2025, the financial institutions that are the counterparties to our factoring arrangements suspended our use of these programs.

 

The actions described under “Executive Overview - Recent Customer Resourcing Actions”, along with the suspension of our factoring programs, are expected to significantly affect our ability to generate cash from operating activities or from the sale of trade receivables in the near term and as a result, we borrowed $42.5 million on our revolving credit facility subsequent to March 31, 2025, which represents all available capacity on the facility. Based on our current estimates and forecasts, including consideration of the amount drawn on the revolving credit facility, we do not expect that we will have the cash and cash equivalents or sufficient liquidity to fund our operations and meet our obligations as they become due over the next twelve months from the issuance date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Additionally, we expect that we will not be able to meet our financial covenants under our Credit Agreements as early as June 30, 2025, if we do not obtain additional sources of funding, amend the applicable provisions in our Credit Agreements or obtain waivers with respect thereto prior to that date. Therefore, these adverse conditions and events described above raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as of the issuance date.

 

We have engaged third party financial advisors to assist management in seeking opportunities to improve liquidity and operational performance, evaluating additional debt or equity financing opportunities, and seeking other strategic transactions including, but not limited to, the potential sale or divestiture of assets. We are currently in discussions with our term loan lenders on a potential new financing arrangement and potential covenant relief. Additionally, our plans include eliminating capital expenditures previously planned and reducing capital expenditures to a minimum level to maintain existing equipment to support our current business needs; and pursuing initiatives to reduce investments in working capital, primarily inventory.

 

While we believe the implementation of some of the elements of our plan over the next twelve months from the issuance date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements will be successful, they are not all solely within management’s control and, as such, can provide no assurance these plans are probable of being effectively implemented as of the issuance date. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2025 have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

Capital expenditures relate to improving production quality and efficiency and extending the useful lives of our existing equipment, and expenditures for new product offerings, as well as expanded capacity for existing products. During 2025, we expect that capital expenditures will be approximately between $10.0 million and $15.0 million.

We have senior secured credit facilities under the credit agreement dated August 14, 2024 (as amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified, the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”) that consists of a $60.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) and a $520.0 million term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”). The Term Loan Facility matures on December 15, 2028 (with no springing maturity) and the Revolving Credit Facility will mature on December 15, 2027.

 

On March 31, 2025, we entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to our Term Loan Facility to, among other things, (i) increase the liquidity threshold, which would trigger a mandatory prepayment of term loans, from $80.0 million to $115.0 million and (ii) include our subsidiaries’ ability to factor assets under certain securitization agreements in the calculation of liquidity for the purposes of determining whether a mandatory prepayment is required.

 

The Term Loan Facility contains a mandatory prepayment provision upon the event of default, which we have accounted for separately as a derivative liability. As of March 31, 2025, we have recorded a derivative liability of $1.0 million in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we prepaid $2.2 million in principal for the Term Loan Facility under one of the mandatory prepayment provisions.

 

As of March 31, 2025, the interest rate in effect on borrowings under the Term Loan Facility was 11.8%.

 

Further information on prepayments, interest rates, guarantees and collateral security, covenants, and other terms and conditions of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities is included in our 2024 Form 10-K.

 

As of March 31, 2025, we are in compliance with all covenants under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities.

 

Available Unused Commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility

As of March 31, 2025, we had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and unused commitments of $42.5 million, which has been reduced for outstanding letters of credit of $17.5 million. Subsequent to March 31, 2025, we drew down the full availability on the Revolving Credit Facility of $42.5 million.

Redeemable Preferred Stock

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, preferred stock dividends of $3.8 million were paid-in-kind, which increased the stated value of the preferred stock. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the stated values of the preferred stock were $163.9 million and $160.1 million, and the corresponding carrying values were $302.4 million and $288.5 million.

25


 

The preferred shares will continue to accrue dividends at 9.0% on the stated value. The associated redemption premium on the increase in the stated value will be accreted from July 1, 2024 through September 14, 2025 using the interest method. The redemption value will be the greater of (i) two times the then-current Stated Value (defined in the Certificate of Designations as $1,000 per share, plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends or dividends paid-in-kind), which as of March 31, 2025 would be equivalent to a $327.9 million redemption value, and (ii) the product of the number of shares of common stock into which the redeemable preferred stock could be converted at the time of such redemption (5.8 million shares currently) and the then-Current Market Price (defined in the Certificate of Designations as the arithmetic average of VWAP per share of common stock for each of the thirty (30) consecutive full trading days ending on the trading day before the record date with respect to such action) of our common stock.

The redeemable preferred stock may be redeemed at the holder’s election on or after September 14, 2025 or upon the occurrence of a redemption event, provided we have cash legally available to pay such redemption. If we are unable to redeem the shares of preferred stock in full, any shares of preferred stock not redeemed would continue to receive an annual dividend of 9.0% on the stated value which would be payable quarterly. The Board of Directors would have to evaluate periodically our ability to make any redemption payments until the full redemption amount has been paid.

As of March 31, 2025, there have been no changes in the preferred shareholder rights, including conversion and redemption rights from those described in our 2024 Form 10-K.

 

Factoring Arrangements

As of March 31, 2025, we had no other significant off-balance sheet arrangements other than factoring of $110.5 million. Subsequent to March 31, 2025, the financial institutions that are party to our factoring arrangements suspended our use of the programs.

Supplier Finance Program

Subsequent to March 31, 2025, the financial institution that is the party to our supply chain finance arrangement suspended our use of the program.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $23.5 million for the first three months of 2025 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $3.5 million for the same period in 2024. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to changes in working capital, which was partially offset by lower gross profit.

 

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities of $6.0 million for the first three months of 2025 was $0.7 million lower than the same period in 2024 due to lower capital expenditures.

 

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities of $4.4 million for the first three months of 2025 was $2.2 million lower than the same period in 2024. This decrease was primarily due to decrease in cash dividends as preferred stock dividends of $3.8 million were paid-in-kind during the first three months of 2025, which was partially offset by increase in repayments of debt of $1.8 million during the first three months of 2025 primarily attributable to a $2.2 million prepayment in principal for the Term Loan Facility under one of the mandatory prepayment provisions.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In this Quarterly Report, we discuss three important measures that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP: value added sales, value added sales adjusted for foreign exchange, and adjusted EBITDA.

Value added sales represents net sales less the value of aluminum and other costs, as well as outsourced service provider (“OSPs”) costs that are included in net sales. Contractual arrangements with our customers allow us to pass on changes in aluminum and certain other costs. Value added sales adjusted for foreign exchange represents value added sales on a constant currency basis. For entities reporting in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, the current period amounts are translated using the prior year comparative period exchange rates, rather than the actual exchange rates in effect during the current period. Value added sales adjusted for foreign exchange allows users of the financial statements to consider our net sales information both with and without the aluminum, other costs and OSP costs and fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. Management utilizes value added sales adjusted for foreign exchange as a key metric in measuring and evaluating the growth of the Company because it eliminates the volatility of the cost of aluminum and changes in foreign exchange rates. Management utilizes value added sales in calculating adjusted EBITDA margin to eliminate volatility of the cost of aluminum in evaluating year-over-year margin growth.

The following table reconciles our net sales, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, to our value added sales and value added sales adjusted for foreign exchange:

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest income and expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, restructuring charges and other closure costs and impairments of long-lived assets and investments, change in fair value of embedded derivative liabilities, acquisition and integration costs, certain hiring and separation related costs, proxy contest fees, gains and losses associated with early debt extinguishment and other refinancing costs, and accounts receivable factoring fees. We use adjusted EBITDA as an important indicator of the operating performance of our business. Adjusted EBITDA is used in our internal forecasts and models when establishing internal operating budgets, supplementing the financial results and forecasts reported to our Board of Directors and evaluating short-term and long-term operating trends in our operations. We believe the adjusted EBITDA financial measure assists in providing a more complete understanding of our underlying operational measures to manage our business, to evaluate our performance compared to prior periods and the marketplace and to establish operational goals. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information provided in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This non-GAAP financial measure may not be computed in the same manner as similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to apply significant judgment in making estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported therein, as well as financial information included in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. These estimates and assumptions, which are based upon historical experience, industry trends, terms of various past and present agreements and contracts, and information available from other sources that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent through other sources. We believe the accounting estimates employed are appropriate and the resulting balances are reasonable; however, due to the inherent uncertainties in developing estimates, actual results could differ from the original estimates, requiring adjustments to these balances in future periods. Critical accounting estimates that affect the condensed consolidated financial statements and the judgments and assumptions used are consistent with those described in the management’s discussion and analysis in our 2024 Form 10-K (refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II, Item 7 of our 2024 Form 10-K.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

As a smaller reporting company, as defined in Rule 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Company is not required to provide the information required by this item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of March 31, 2025. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2025 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

OTHER INFORMATION

We are party to various legal and environmental proceedings incidental to our business. Certain claims, suits and complaints arising in the ordinary course of business have been filed or are pending against us. Based on facts now known, except as provided below, we believe all such matters are adequately provided for, covered by insurance, are without merit, and/or involve such amounts that would not materially adversely affect our consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

In March 2022, the German Federal Cartel Office initiated an investigation related to European light alloy wheel manufacturers, including Superior Industries Europe AG (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company), on suspicion of conduct restricting competition. The Company is cooperating fully with the German Federal Cartel Office. In the event Superior Industries Europe AG is deemed to have violated the applicable statutes, the Company could be subject to a fine or civil proceedings. At this point, we are unable to predict the duration or the outcome of the investigation.

Refer also to Item 1A, “Risk Factors” “We are from time to time subject to litigation, which could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows” in Part I of our 2024 Form 10-K.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

There have been no changes to the risk factors as described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our 2024 Form 10-K, except as follows:

Our current cash and liquidity projections raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

A limited number of customers represent a large percentage of our consolidated net sales. As discussed in Item 1. “Note 1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation” and in Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Executive Overview – Recent Customer Resourcing Actions” and “– Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources,” subsequent to March 31, 2025, certain customers in North America notified us of their intent to resource to other suppliers all outstanding purchase orders during the month of April 2025 with a minimal wind-down period and to not issue any additional purchase orders to us thereafter. Prior to these notifications, we estimated these customers to represent approximately 33% of our projected consolidated net sales for the 2025 fiscal year. These customers represent 40% of our consolidated net sales for the year ended December 31, 2024 and approximately 36% of our consolidated net sales for the year ended December 31, 2023. Additionally, in May 2025 the financial institutions that are the counterparties to our factoring arrangements suspended our use of these programs. These actions are expected to significantly affect our ability to generate cash from operating activities or from the sale of trade receivables in the near term. Therefore, we have evaluated whether these events, considered in the aggregate, give rise to substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern over the next twelve months. Based on our current estimates and forecasts, including the amount drawn on our revolving credit facility on April 7, 2025, we do not expect to have the cash and cash equivalents or sufficient liquidity to fund our operations and meet our obligations as they become due over the next twelve months and we expect that we will not be able to meet our financial covenants under our Credit Agreements as early as June 30, 2025, if we do not obtain additional sources of funding, amend the applicable provisions in our Credit Agreements or obtain waivers with respect thereto prior to that date. Therefore, these adverse events and conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Although we are actively pursuing strategies to mitigate these conditions and events and alleviate such substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, there can be no assurances that our plans will be successful.

 

The perception that we may not be able to continue as a going concern may cause customers, vendors, and others to review and alter their business relationships and terms with us, including choosing not to extend an existing relationship with us, and may affect our credit rating. If we seek additional financing to fund operations and there remains substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, financing sources may be unwilling to provide such funding to us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. If we are unable to obtain sufficient, timely financial resources, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected and we may be forced to terminate, significantly curtail or cease some or all our operations or to pursue other strategic alternatives, including commencing a case under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.
