HAYES LEMMERZ INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(1) Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management and in the opinion of management, contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of October 31, 1999, and January 31, 1999, and the results of its operations for the three and nine months ended October 31, 1999, and 1998 and cash flows for the nine months ended October 31, 1999, and 1998. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 1999. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those to be expected for the year.
(2) Acquisitions/Divestitures
On February 3, 1999, the Company completed the acquisition of CMI International, Inc. (“CMI”). The purchase price for CMI was $605 million in cash, of which approximately $129 million was used to repay CMI’s outstanding indebtedness existing at the time of the acquisition, and of which approximately $476 million was paid to the shareholders of CMI. The cash portion of the consideration, the refinancing of the existing debt of CMI and the fees and expenses of the acquisition of CMI were financed with the proceeds of the Company’s senior secured credit facilities and the issuance by the Company of $250 million in aggregate principal amount of 8 1/4% senior subordinated notes due 2008 (the “8 1/4% Notes”).
On April 21, 1999, the Company completed the acquisition of Metaalindustrie Bergen B.V. (“MIB”). MIB is a full service machining supplier, specializing in the machining of large aluminum castings for a variety of automotive and industrial applications located in Bergen, the Netherlands.
On July 1, 1999, the Company acquired an additional 45% of the equity of its joint venture Siam Lemmerz Co., Limited in Thailand. This transaction increased the Company’s ownership from 25% to 70%.
On July 30, 1999, the Company completed the sale of its equity interests in A-CMI and A-CMI Scandinavia Casting Center ANS, two joint ventures formerly owned by CMI. The equity interests were purchased by ALCOA Inc., CMI’s partner in these joint ventures, for net proceeds of $37 million.
The following unaudited pro forma financial data illustrates the estimated effects as if the above-mentioned acquisitions had been completed as of the beginning of the periods presented, after including the impact of certain adjustments, such as amortization, depreciation, interest expense and the related income tax effects:
| Three Months | Nine Months | |||||||||||||||
| Ended | Ended | |||||||||||||||
| 1999 | 1998 | 1999 | 1998 | |||||||||||||
| Sales | $ | 598.5 | $ | 573.9 | $ | 1,730.8 | $ | 1,703.9 | ||||||||
| Net income | $ | 19.9 | $ | 19.7 | $ | 49.5 | $ | 29.3 | ||||||||
| Basic net income per share | $ | 0.66 | $ | 0.65 | $ | 1.63 | $ | 0.97 | ||||||||
| Diluted net income per share | $ | 0.63 | $ | 0.62 | $ | 1.55 | $ | 0.92 | ||||||||
The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of the actual results as if the transactions had been in effect for the entire periods presented. In addition, they are not intended to be a projection of future results and do not reflect, among other things, any synergies that might have been achieved from combined operations.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
(3) Summary of New Accounting Pronouncements
In 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position (“SOP”) 98-5, “Reporting the Costs of Start-Up Activities.” SOP 98-5 is effective January 1, 1999 and requires that start-up costs capitalized prior to January 1, 1999 be written off and any future start-up costs be expensed as incurred. The Company adopted this standard on February 1, 1999 and adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations.
In June 1998 and June 1999, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” and SFAS 137, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133.” These Statements establish accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. These Statements require that changes in the derivative’s fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met.
Special accounting for qualifying hedges allows a derivative’s gains and losses to offset related results on the hedged item in the income statement, and requires that a company must formally document, designate, and assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting. This accounting is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company anticipates adopting this standard in its fiscal year 2001 and does not, at this time, anticipate a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations when adopted.
In September 1999, the Emerging Issues Task Force reached a consensus for Issue 99-5, “Accounting for Pre-Production Costs Related to Long-Term Supply Arrangements.” This consensus may be applied on a prospective basis for costs incurred after December 31, 1999, or as a cumulative effect adjustment as of the beginning of the current fiscal year. The Company is currently reviewing the potential impact of this statement, but does not anticipate adoption will have a material impact on the financial statements.
(4) Inventories
The major classes of inventory are as follows:
| October 31, | January 31, | ||||||||
| 1999 | 1999 | ||||||||
| Raw Materials | $ | 66.6 | $ | 65.2 | |||||
| Work-in-process | 59.3 | 48.8 | |||||||
| Finished goods | 58.8 | 52.6 | |||||||
| Total | $ | 184.7 | $ | 166.6 | |||||

(5) Property, plant and equipment
The major classes of property, plant and equipment are as follows:
| October 31, | January 31, | ||||||||
| 1999 | 1999 | ||||||||
| Land | $ | 29.0 | $ | 24.9 | |||||
| Buildings | 262.8 | 201.1 | |||||||
| Machinery and equipment | 1,108.4 | 832.8 | |||||||
| 1,400.2 | 1,058.8 | ||||||||
| Accumulated depreciation | (245.0 | ) | (180.8 | ) | |||||
| Net property, plant and equipment | $ | 1,155.2 | $ | 878.0 | |||||
(6) Earnings per share
SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share” (“EPS”), requires two calculations of earnings per share to be disclosed, basic EPS and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is computed using only the weighted average shares outstanding, while diluted EPS is computed considering the dilutive effect of options and warrants.
Shares outstanding for the three and nine months ended October 31, 1999 and 1998, were as follows:
| Three Months | Nine Months | ||||||||||||||||
| Ended | Ended | ||||||||||||||||
| 1999 | 1998 | 1999 | 1998 | ||||||||||||||
| Basic weighted average shares outstanding | 30,337 | 30,180 | 30,333 | 30,134 | |||||||||||||
| Dilutive effect of options and warrants | 1,341 | 1,824 | 1,547 | 2,348 | |||||||||||||
| Diluted weighted average shares outstanding | 31,678 | 32,004 | 31,880 | 32,482 | |||||||||||||
(7) Comprehensive Income
SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income,” establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income. Comprehensive income is defined as all changes in a Company’s net assets except changes resulting from transactions with shareholders. It differs from net income in that certain items currently recorded to equity would be a part of comprehensive income.
The components of comprehensive income for the nine months ended October 31, 1999 and 1998 are as follows:
| Oct. 31, | Oct. 31, | ||||||||
| 1999 | 1998 | ||||||||
| Net Income | $ | 49.5 | $ | 33.6 | |||||
| Cumulative translation adjustments | (48.6 | ) | 4.6 | ||||||
| Total comprehensive income | $ | 0.9 | $ | 38.2 | |||||
(8) Commitments and Contingencies
Management believes that at October 31, 1999, the Company was in compliance with the various covenants under the agreements pursuant to which it has or may borrow money. Management expects that the
8
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
Company will remain in compliance with these covenants in all material respects through the period ending October 31, 2000.
The Company is party to various litigation. Management believes that the outcome of these lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated operations or financial condition of the Company.
(9) Segment Reporting
The Company is organized based primarily on markets served and products produced. Under this organization structure, the Company’s operating segments have been aggregated into three reportable segments: Automotive Wheels, Cast Components and Other. The Other category includes Commercial Highway products, the corporate office and elimination of intercompany activities, none of which meet the requirements of being classified as an operating segment.
The following table represents revenues and other financial information by business segment for the nine months ended October 31:
| Revenue | Net Income | Total Assets | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| 1999 | 1998 | 1999 | 1998 | 1999 | 1998 | ||||||||||||||||||||

(10) Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
(11) Guarantor and Nonguarantor Financial Statements
In connection with the Company’s merger with Motor Wheel, and as part of the financing thereof, the Company issued and sold $250 million in aggregate principal amount of 11% senior subordinated notes due 2006 (the “11% Notes”) in a public offering.
In connection with the Company’s acquisition of Lemmerz Holding GmbH on June 30, 1997 (the “Lemmerz Acquisition”), the Company issued and sold $400 million in aggregate principal amount of 9 1/8% senior subordinated notes due 2007 (the “9 1/8% Notes”).
In anticipation of the acquisition of CMI and as part of the financing thereof, the Company issued and sold the 8 1/4% Notes. Effective June 17, 1999, the Company completed the offer to exchange all of the 8 1/4% Notes for 8 1/4% Series B Senior Subordinated Notes due 2008.
The 11% Notes, 9 1/8% Notes and 8 1/4% Notes rank pari passu with each other and are general unsecured obligations of the Company, subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future senior indebtedness of the Company, and are guaranteed by certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries.

Item 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended October 31, 1999 Compared to Three Months Ended October 31, 1998
The Company’s net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 1999 were $598.5 million, an increase of 34.8% as compared to net sales of $443.9 million for the third quarter of fiscal 1998. This increase was due to the additional sales contributed as a result of the CMI acquisition, which was effective February 3, 1999, and higher sales in the North American Automotive Wheel group. These sales increases were partially offset by lower selling prices due to the pass through of lower aluminum costs and the maxi-devaluation of the Brazilian economy.
The Company’s gross profit for the third quarter of fiscal 1999 increased to $105.4 million or 17.6% of net sales as compared to $82.7 million or 18.6% of net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 1998. The Company’s third quarter gross profit was negatively impacted primarily by inefficiencies and premium costs associated with the unexpectedly strong demand for lightweight aluminum wheels in both North America and Europe, slower demand for steel wheels in Europe as a result of the higher aluminum wheel penetration and the continuation of the economic devaluation in developing markets.
Marketing, general and administrative expenses were $21.8 million or 3.6% of net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 1999 as compared to $16.7 million or 3.8% of net sales for the same period of fiscal 1998. The increase in expenses was attributable to additional costs incurred as a result of the CMI acquisition. As a percent of sales, however, marketing, general and administrative costs have improved as synergies from this acquisition have been realized.
Engineering and product development costs were $4.4 million or 0.7% of net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 1999 as compared to $5.7 million or 1.3% of net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 1998. Engineering and product development costs were lower, despite the CMI acquisition, due to synergies realized and timing associated with recovery of engineering costs from our customers.
Amortization of intangibles increased by $3.6 million to $8.2 million for the third quarter of fiscal 1999. This increase is attributable to the increased goodwill recognized as a result of the CMI acquisition.
Interest expense was $37.5 million for the third quarter of fiscal 1999, an increase of $15.1 million over the same period of fiscal 1998 of $22.4 million. This increase was due to the increase in debt as a result of the CMI acquisition.
Nine Months Ended October 31, 1999 Compared to Nine Months Ended October 31, 1998
The Company’s net sales for the first nine months of fiscal 1999 were $1,730.8 million, an increase of 39.5% as compared to net sales of $1,240.8 million for the first nine months of fiscal 1998. This increase was due to the additional sales contributed as a result of the CMI acquisition, which was effective February 3, 1999, the additional sales contributed by the acquisitions of Alumitech, Borlem, MIN-CER, N.F. Die and Kalyani (the “1998 acquisitions”), and higher sales in the North American Automotive Wheel group. These sales increases were partially offset by lower selling prices due to the pass through of lower aluminum costs and the maxi-devaluation of the Brazilian economy.
The Company’s gross profit for the first nine months of fiscal 1999 increased to $305.6 million or 17.7% of net sales as compared to $216.7 million or 17.5% of net sales for the first nine months of fiscal 1998. This increase in margin was attributable to the increased revenues and improved productivity in the majority of the Company’s businesses.
Marketing, general and administrative expenses were $70.7 million or 4.1% of net sales for the first nine months of fiscal 1999 as compared to $48.7 million or 3.9% of net sales for the same period of fiscal 1998. This
16
Engineering and product development costs were $15.6 million or 0.9% of net sales for the first nine months of fiscal 1999 as compared to $15.7 million or 1.3% of net sales for the first nine months of fiscal 1998. Despite the increase in costs attributable to the CMI and 1998 acquisitions, engineering and product development costs as a percent of sales improved over the prior fiscal year.
Amortization of intangibles increased by $9.3 million to $22.0 million for the first nine months of fiscal 1999. This increase is attributable to the increased goodwill recognized as a result of the CMI and 1998 acquisitions.
Other income was $5.3 million for the first nine months of fiscal 1999, an increase of $1.4 million over the same period of fiscal 1998. This increase was due primarily to gains on the sales of a joint venture interest and other assets, partially offset by currency losses and other redundancy costs associated with productivity improvement programs in the Company.
Interest expense was $115.5 million for the first nine months of fiscal 1999, an increase of $46.1 million over the same period of fiscal 1998 of $69.4 million. This increase was due to the increase in debt as a result of the CMI and 1998 acquisitions.
The extraordinary loss for early extinguishment of debt in fiscal 1998 represented the write-off of the remaining deferred financing costs associated with the term debt incurred in connection with both the Lemmerz Acquisition and the merger with Motor Wheel. As a result of strong cash flow and significantly improved credit position, the Company was able to restructure its senior credit facility and fully repay certain of the outstanding term debt.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company’s operations provided $35.1 million in cash in the first nine months of fiscal 1999, a decrease of $31.0 million over the same period of fiscal 1998. This decrease was due primarily to increased working capital requirements as a result of the acquisition of CMI.
Capital expenditures for the first nine months of fiscal 1999 were $136.1 million. These expenditures were primarily for additional machinery and equipment to improve productivity, increase production capacity and to meet expected requirements for our products. The Company anticipates capital expenditures for fiscal 1999 will be approximately $190 million relating primarily to new vehicle platforms, capacity increases worldwide to meet the growing demand for our products, cost reduction programs and the funding of new programs associated with the acquisition of CMI.
On February 3, 1999, the Company entered into a third amended and restated credit agreement (the “Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) with Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (“CIBC”) and Merrill Lynch Capital Corporation (“Merrill Lynch”), as managing agents. Pursuant to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, a syndicate of lenders agreed to lend to the Company up to $450 million in the form of a senior secured term loan facility and up to $650 million in the form of a senior secured revolving credit facility. Such term loan and revolving facilities are guaranteed by the Company and all of its existing and future material domestic subsidiaries. Such term loan and revolving facilities are secured by a first priority lien in substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company and its material domestic subsidiaries, now owned or acquired later, including a pledge of all of the shares of certain of the Company’s existing and future domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the shares of certain of our existing and future foreign subsidiaries. As of October 31, 1999 there was $450 million outstanding under the term loan facilities and $489 million available under the revolving facility.
In April 1998, the Company entered into a three-year agreement pursuant to which the Company and certain of its subsidiaries sold, and will continue to sell on an ongoing basis, a portion of their accounts receivables to a special purpose entity (“Funding Co.”), which is wholly owned by the Company. Accordingly,
17
At October 31, 1999, management believes that the Company was in compliance with the various covenants under the agreements pursuant to which it has or may borrow money. Management expects that the Company will remain in compliance with these covenants in all material respects through the period ending October 31, 2000.
Other Matters
Year 2000
The Company has developed plans to address its exposure in all critical information technology (“IT”) and non-IT systems to computer programs which identify years with two digits instead of four. Such programs may recognize the year 2000 as the year 1900. The Company is also assessing the year 2000 capabilities of its critical suppliers, customers and key service providers to determine, to the extent possible, whether its operations will be adversely impacted by these companies.
The Company primarily relies on packaged software applications which are year 2000 compliant. The Company has substantially completed the testing of these applications and has confirmed their year 2000 compliance. The Company is also testing all internally developed IT software for the year 2000 compliance. This process was completed by the end of the second quarter of fiscal 1999.
The Company continues to assess all critical non-IT systems for year 2000 compliance. Non-IT systems include, among other things, manufacturing equipment, telephone systems and heating and cooling systems. An inventory of all critical non-IT systems and manufacturers to determine year 2000 compliance has been prepared. This process was completed during the first quarter of fiscal 1999.
As of October 31, 1999, the costs incurred directly related to becoming year 2000 compliant were approximately $5.4 million with minimal additional costs expected to be incurred subsequent to October 31, 1999. The year 2000 remediation effort has not postponed any IT projects, the delay of which would have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition or results of operations.
The Company is year 2000 compliant at this time with all critical business and production processes ready. Although the Company is striving to be completely year 2000 compliant, year 2000 issues may still negatively affect the Company. Based on progress to date, management believes that such impact, if any, will not have a material adverse impact on the business, financial condition or results of operations. The Company cannot guarantee that this will be so.
Although the Company has contacted critical suppliers, customers and key service providers to determine their level of year 2000 compliance, a lack of year 2000 readiness at these companies could adversely impact the Company’s operations. The Company has developed a program for monitoring year 2000 risk in its supply chain and have mailed “Supplier Year 2000 Self-Assessment” questionnaires to all critical suppliers and key service providers. The full extent of any such adverse impact (if any) is impossible to determine. The Company is attempting to mitigate any possible adverse impact by identifying alternate suppliers where possible. The Company may also increase inventory of crucial materials in anticipation of possible disruptions.
The Company has developed contingency plans for all critical business and production processes which the Company believes will help to minimize its year 2000 risk.
