Remy International, Inc. Announces Third Quarter 2011 Results

PENDLETON, Ind., Nov. 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Remy International, Inc., 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, 2011. Sales for the third quarter were
$300.4 million, Adjusted EBITDA was $30.2 million and Net income attributable to
common stockholders was $1.2 million.

In comparison, the Company reported 2010 third quarter sales of $280.0 million,
Adjusted EBITDA of $34.2 million and Net income attributable to common
stockholders was $1.4 million.

“We have posted solid results for the first nine months of 2011. Although Remy
achieved robust sales during the third quarter following record sales in the
first half of the year, net income was below our expectations but largely
consistent with what other automotive suppliers have experienced,” stated John
Weber, Remy International President and Chief Executive Officer.

Fred Knechtel, Remy International Chief Financial Officer, added, “The decline
in year-over year EBITDA was the result of the mark to market of currency
contracts, rising materials costs, competitive pricing pressures, increased
legal expenses to enforce and expand our intellectual property portfolio, and
higher SG&A costs to support growth initiatives. This was partially offset by
favorable volume and reduced warranty expenses.”

Weber continued, “We will continue to strategically grow our business. I am
pleased to announce a hybrid electric motor deal with BAE and as well as a
business cooperation agreement with India’s Lucas-TVS. The BAE agreement further
reaffirms our hybrid motor strategy. The Lucas-TVS agreement significantly
enhances our presence in India, the world’s fastest growing automotive market.”

This press announcement contains forecasts, projections, expectations, or
opportunities regarding Remy that are “forward-looking statements” as defined in
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking
statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to
differ materially from anticipated results, including, but not limited to,
future financial results and liquidity, development of new products and
services, the effect of competitive products or pricing, the effect of commodity
and raw material prices, the impact of supply chain cost management initiatives,
restructuring risks, customs duty claims, litigation uncertainties and warranty
claims, conditions in the automotive industry, foreign currency fluctuations,
costs related to re-sourcing and outsourcing products, the effect of economic
conditions, and other factors identified in Remy International statements.

In this document and in future releases, we will use the term Adjusted EBITDA to
conform to Regulation-G. There is no difference between our prior calculation of
EBITDAR and Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA” is defined by the Company as net
income before (i) interest expense, (ii) tax expense, (iii) depreciation and
amortization expense (excluding OID and DFC amortization), (iv) stock-based
compensation expense, (v) net income attributable to noncontrolling interest and
(vi) restructuring and other charges. Adjusted EBITDA as defined by the Company
may differ from non-GAAP measures used by other companies and is not a
measurement under GAAP. Management believes that using Adjusted EBITDA as a
metric can enhance an overall understanding of the Company’s expected financial
performance from ongoing operations, and Adjusted EBITDA is used by management
for that purpose. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by
analysts, investors and other interested parties in evaluating companies such as
ours and that it provides a useful measure of our financial performance since
its use eliminates the effects of period to period changes in costs associated
with restructuring costs and impairment of assets related to capital
investments, interest on our debt and non-cash stock based compensation charges.

There are limitations inherent in non-GAAP financial measures such as Adjusted
EBITDA in that they exclude a variety of charges and credits that are required
to be included in a GAAP presentation, and do not therefore present the full
measure of the Company’s recorded costs against its revenue. Management
compensates for these limitations in non-GAAP measures by also evaluating our
performance based on traditional GAAP financial measures. Accordingly, in
analyzing our future financial performance, investors should consider these
non-GAAP results together with GAAP results, rather than as an alternative to
GAAP basis financial measures.

Free Cash Flow is measured as Net cash provided by operating activities less net
Capital Expenditures.

Net working Capital is defined as Accounts Receivable plus Inventory less
Accounts Payable.
