Superior Industries
Files 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K
Revises Previously Announced 2007 Income Tax Provisions |
VAN NUYS, CALIFORNIA -- March 31, 2008 -- Superior Industries International, Inc. (NYSE:SUP) today filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission its 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K. On March 14, 2008, the Company filed a Form 8-K indicating that its previously issued financial statements should no longer be relied upon because of errors in recording deferred tax liabilities and in accounting for inventory costs and deferred taxes of its Hungarian equity investee in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. In the Form 8-K filing, the Company also indicated that the evaluation of the errors was still ongoing. On the same day that the Form 8-K was filed, the Company announced its unaudited operating results for the fourth quarter and year 2007 versus the same periods of the prior year.
Subsequent to the announcement of the unaudited 2007 operating results, and as part of the final evaluation of various tax liability considerations, it was further determined that the income tax provision announced for the fourth quarter and year 2007 operating results had included a tax benefit totaling $1.0 million that should have been included in the restatement of the 2006 operating results. Accordingly, the fourth quarter and annual income tax provisions for 2007 and 2006 in the attached table have been revised to include the correct income tax amounts for each period. Retained earnings as of December 31, 2007 remains unchanged.
