Remy International, Inc. (NASDAQ:REMY), a leading worldwide manufacturer, remanufacturer, and distributor of starters and alternators for light vehicle and commercial vehicle applications, locomotive products and hybrid electric motors, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2013.
Third Quarter Highlights
- Net sales of $262.8 million for the third quarter of 2013, a decline of 5% compared to $277.4 million for the third quarter of 2012. Prior year results included high inventory stock builds by North American retail aftermarket customers and light duty original equipment sales on customer programs ended per schedule in 2013.
- Adjusted EBITDA of $33.0 million for the third quarter of 2013 compared to $35.7 million for the third quarter of 2012.

Cost reductions and operational efficiencies partially offset these impacts.
- Net income attributable to common stockholders was $10.4 million for the third quarter of 2013 compared to $96.5 million for the third quarter of 2012.
- Third quarter 2013 results included $1.5 million in restructuring charges

Fred Knechtel, Remy International, Inc. Sr. Vice President, CFO and Treasurer, added, “Sales pressures continued in the third quarter, as sales were lower than both the previous quarter and prior year quarter. Despite this pressure, Remy was able to deliver greater operating income results in the third quarter compared to both of these periods. These achievements are due to our continued efforts to drive for sustainable operational improvements and aggressively control spending.”
Jay Pittas, Remy International, Inc. President and CEO commented, “We took aggressive cost actions as a short term response to general market conditions. For the long term we continued to make necessary investments in our business to grow revenue and increase operating efficiencies. We strive to have a balanced portfolio between North America and the rest of the world and between the aftermarket and OE, with a flexible cost structure to support all market conditions. The Remy team will continue to be focused on driving superior long-term value for shareholders. I am excited about the future and believe that we are well positioned with our portfolio of products to achieve our goals.”
