LIVONIA, Mich., Nov. 2, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Tower International, Inc. (NYSE: TOWR), a leading global manufacturer of engineered automotive structural metal components and assemblies, today announced third quarter 2016 results, updated its business outlook for the fourth quarter and full year 2016, and discussed other business developments. (Unless otherwise noted, all information refers to Tower's continuing operations in North America and Europe.)
- Agreements have been reached to sell the Company's remaining businesses in China. Cash proceeds after taxes are expected to be about $25 million.
- The outlook for adjusted EPS is improved by about 10-15 cents per year for the next few years because of expected R&D tax credits.
- The latest projection is that Tower will not become a U.S. cash taxpayer until 2020, or one year later than the prior estimate.
- Consistent with the Company's positive business and cash-flow outlook, the dividend was increased by 10% and about 4% of outstanding shares have been repurchased through September 30.
"It was a strong quarter for Tower, in some ways our best ever," said CEO Mark Malcolm. "We presently believe that industry volume in 2017 will be roughly the same as 2016. Tower is, however, relatively well-positioned regardless of your volume outlook. This reflects the underlying strength and tailwinds at Tower from the higher-margin new business coming on board over the next few years that, absent lower industry volume, is expected to drive further increases in overall margin and best-ever free cash flow."
Tower to Host Conference Call Today at 11 a.m. EDT
Tower will discuss its third quarter 2016 results and other related matters in a conference call at 11 a.m. EDT today. Participants may listen to the audio portion of the conference call either through a live audio webcast on the Company's website or by telephone. The slide presentation and webcast can be accessed via the investor relations portion of Tower's website www.towerinternational.com. To dial into the conference call, domestic callers should dial (866) 393-4576, international callers should dial (706) 679-1462. An audio recording of the call will be available approximately two hours after the completion of the call.

A webcast replay will also be available and may be accessed via Tower's website.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes the following non-GAAP financial measures: "adjusted EBITDA", "adjusted EBITDA margin", "adjusted earnings per share (EPS)", and "free cash flow". We define adjusted EBITDA as net income/(loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, restructuring items and other adjustments described in the reconciliations provided in this press release. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenues. Adjusted earnings per share exclude certain income and expense items described in the reconciliation provided in this press release. Free cash flow is defined as cash provided by operating activities less cash disbursed for purchases of property, plant and equipment. We use adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted earnings per share, and free cash flow as supplements to information provided in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in evaluating our business and they are included in this press release because they are principal factors upon which our management assesses performance and in certain instances in measuring performance for compensation purposes. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP are set forth below. The non-GAAP measures presented above are not measures of performance under GAAP. These measures should not be considered as alternatives for the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Other companies in our industry may define these non-GAAP measures differently than we do and, as a result, these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies in our industry; and certain of our non-GAAP financial measures exclude financial information that some may consider important in evaluating our performance. Given the inherent uncertainty regarding mark to market adjustments of financial instruments, fair value adjustments to our pension plan, potential gain or loss on our discontinued operations, potential restructuring expenses, and expenses related to our long-term incentive compensation programs in any future period, a reconciliation of forward-looking financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP is not feasible. Consequently, any attempt to disclose such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision that could be confusing or misleading to investors. The magnitude of these items, however, may be significant.
Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors
This press release contains statements which constitute forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including but not limited to statements regarding the Company's projected revenues, earnings, EBITDA, margin, free cash flow, and statements regarding the Company's tax position and future business outlook, including plans to divest of the Company's discontinued operations. The forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as "anticipate," "believe," "plan," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "project," "target," and other similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this press release and are based upon management's current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us. Such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. The following important factors, as well as risk factors described in our reports filed with the SEC, could cause our actual results to differ materially from estimates or expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements:
We do not assume any obligation to update or revise the forward-looking statements contained in this press release.
