• Altra refinanced its 8.125% Senior Secured Notes and entered into a new $300 million five-year credit agreement, which will result in a significant interest expense reduction for 2013.

• Cash and cash equivalents were $85.2 million on December 31, 2012 compared with $92.5 million on December 31, 2011, as we reduced our long-term debt by $16.5 million and instituted a quarterly dividend amounting to $4.3 million in 2012.

Management Comments

“We ended a record year of performance with solid results in the fourth quarter,” said Carl Christenson, Altra President and CEO. “For the year, we grew revenues 8.5% to $732 million, and reported $1.52 in non-GAAP earnings per share, a record for the Company. For the quarter, revenues grew 3.2% to $177.2 million and we reported non-GAAP earnings per diluted share of $0.36. We improved gross profit during the year, ending with a 30.4% gross margin for the fourth quarter and 29.9% for 2012. During the fourth quarter we refinanced our 8.125% Senior Secured Notes for a significant cost savings going forward, substantially completed the European restructuring actions we had previously announced, made progress on our strategy to penetrate emerging countries, and continued to take actions to enhance productivity and operational efficiency.”

Business Outlook

“Looking ahead, while we do not expect substantial end market growth in 2013, we plan to significantly enhance our bottom line performance due to a number of strategic actions,” said Christenson. “In addition to the cost savings and productivity improvement initiatives we completed in 2012, we expect that new products and programs that we have been developing should contribute to our performance in the coming year. We also have a strong balance sheet with the dry powder necessary to execute on our acquisition strategy.”

The Company currently is forecasting sales in the range of $740 to $750 million and non-GAAP diluted EPS of $1.75 to $1.85 for 2013. Altra expects its tax rate for the full year to be approximately 32% to 34% before discrete items. * The Company expects capital expenditures in the range of $22 to $25 million, and depreciation and amortization in the range of $29 to $31 million. For the first quarter of 2013, the Company expects a difficult year-over-year comparison as the current quarter includes 5% fewer shipping days than the same quarter a year ago.

* Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

As used in this release and the accompanying slides posted on the Company’s website, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, non-GAAP income from operations and non-GAAP net income are each calculated using either net income or income from operations that excludes acquisition related costs, restructuring costs, discrete tax items, amortization of inventory fair value adjustment, premium paid on the redemption of debt and other income or charges that management does not consider to be directly related to the Company’s core operating performance. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing non-GAAP net income by GAAP weighted average shares outstanding (diluted). Non-GAAP free cash flow is calculated by deducting purchases of property, plant and equipment from net cash provided by operating activities.

Altra believes that the presentation of non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share and non-GAAP free cash flow provides important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.
