David Westgate, Jason's Chief Executive Officer, commented, "In a transformational year for Jason we built the public company foundation to support our strategies of generating strong organic revenue growth, margin expansion, and attractive acquisitions. We are committed to using these strategies to drive shareholder value. While we are not satisfied with our full year 2014 results, we remained focused on our revenue growth initiatives, achieving organic revenue growth of 4% in our Finishing and Seating segments, and 7% in our Acoustics segment during 2014. Margin expansion initiatives in our Finishing segment resulted in significant Adjusted EBITDA growth of 49.1% over 2013, with Adjusted EBITDA margins growing from 9.8% to 14.0% in 2014, and we continue to see future growth ahead."

Westgate continued, "During the fourth quarter our Acoustics segment successfully completed the transition of production from its Norwalk, Ohio facility to the expanded Battle Creek, Michigan facility and a new state-of-the-art facility in Warrensburg, Missouri. We continue to expect the Acoustics segment to return to Adjusted EBITDA margins in line with historical averages in the first quarter of 2015. In our Components segment, Adjusted EBITDA margin returned to more normalized levels as a result of cost countermeasures executed in the fourth quarter and continued strength in rail volumes."

Fourth Quarter Financial Results:

On June 30, 2014, the Company completed its previously announced acquisition of Jason Partners Holdings Inc. (the "Predecessor") (the "Business Combination"), at which point Jason, the Successor, became a new entity for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements of the Successor on or after June 30, 2014 are not comparable to the consolidated financial statements of the Predecessor prior to that date. However, for the readers' convenience the Company has combined net sales and Adjusted EBITDA in the period June 30, 2014 through December 31, 2014 with Jason's predecessor net sales and Adjusted EBITDA in the period January 1, 2014 through June 29, 2014. Net sales and Adjusted EBITDA were not significantly affected by acquisition accounting.

Net sales were $164.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2014, a decrease of $0.9 million, or 0.6%, compared with $165.1 million for the same period of 2013, reflecting increased net sales in the Acoustics, Finishing, and Seating segments offset by decreased net sales in the Components segment. For the full year, revenue was $702.5 million compared with $680.8 million in 2013, an increase of 3.2%.

During the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company reported a net loss of $4.2 million compared with a net loss of $2.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2013. Net loss during the fourth quarter of 2014 was impacted by incremental after-tax non-cash depreciation and amortization expense of $0.6 million and $1.3 million, respectively, resulting from fair value write-ups of assets in accounting for the Business Combination. Share-based compensation expense of $1.3 million related to new equity awards granted during 2014 and $0.7 million of incremental transaction-related costs, net of tax, unfavorably impacted net loss compared with the fourth quarter of 2013.

Adjusted EBITDA was $18.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, an increase of 11.2% compared with $17.0 million in the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily due to Adjusted EBITDA margin growth in the Finishing and Seating segments, partially offset by operational inefficiencies in the Acoustics segment related to the accelerated closure of the Norwalk facility in the fourth quarter of 2014.

At the end of the fourth quarter, cash and cash equivalents were $62.3 million, with approximately $45.0 million of availability on revolving credit facilities. Net debt to EBITDA on a trailing twelve month basis was 4.72x as of the end of the fourth quarter. The Company's effective tax rate for the successor period in 2014 was 36.1%.

Fourth Quarter Segment Results:

Seating

Net sales of $34.6 million in the fourth quarter were 0.8% higher compared with the same period in 2013, principally driven by increases in volumes in motorcycle OEM and construction seats, partially offset by lower volumes of after-market motorcycle parts and accessories. Adjusted EBITDA increased 4.6% to $4.8 million compared with $4.6 million during the fourth quarter in 2013. The increase was primarily due to lower material and overhead costs.

Finishing

Finishing segment net sales of $45.7 million in the fourth quarter increased $1.2 million or 2.8% compared with the fourth quarter in 2013 due to improved pricing and increased volumes, partially offset by an unfavorable foreign currency impact of $2.1 million. Adjusted EBITDA increased to $7.0 million in the fourth quarter, compared to $4.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2013. Adjusted EBITDA was impacted by foreign currency, structural improvements in material pricing and productivity, as well as increased volumes during the fourth quarter of 2014.

Acoustics

Acoustics segment net sales in the fourth quarter were $54.8 million, an increase of 2.5% compared with the fourth quarter in 2013. The increase was driven by increased volumes and new platforms launched during the fourth quarter of 2014 as compared with the fourth quarter of 2013. Foreign currency translation negatively impacted net sales by approximately 1.1% in the fourth quarter as compared with the prior year quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA was $4.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2014 compared with $5.2 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease was caused partially by operational inefficiencies associated with the accelerated closure of the Acoustics segment manufacturing facility in Norwalk, Ohio and capacity expansion at the manufacturing facility in Battle Creek, Michigan, which were successfully completed during the fourth quarter. These operational inefficiencies negatively impacted Adjusted EBITDA by approximately $0.5 million and $7.0 million for the fourth quarter and full year in 2014, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales improved 50 basis points to 8.4% in the fourth quarter compared with the third quarter of 2014 as the transition of production from Norwalk was completed during the quarter. Acoustics segment operating results are expected to return to historical levels in the first quarter of 2015.

The Acoustics segment also began production during the fourth quarter at its new manufacturing facility in Warrensburg, Missouri. The new 155,000 square foot facility continues to optimize the Acoustics operational footprint to bring our facilities closer to customers.

Components

Net sales in the Components segment in the fourth quarter were $29.0 million, compared with $32.8 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease in net sales was the result of a decline in volumes of smart utility meter components, as a significant customer continued to in-source component production in line with the Company's expectations, partially offset by strong railcar component sales.

Fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA was $5.2 million, compared with $5.3 million in the prior year period, and was impacted by lower net sales, partially offset by lower operating costs. Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales improved to 17.9% in the fourth quarter, compared with 3.5% in the third quarter of 2014 and 16.1% in the fourth quarter of 2013, resulting from improved mix with stronger sales of railcar components and lower operating costs.

Fiscal 2015 Outlook:

For fiscal 2015, Jason expects revenue growth in the range of 1 to 3 percent, with net sales in the range of $710 to $725 million and Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $84 to $90 million. On a constant currency basis, Jason expects revenue growth in the range of 4 to 6 percent. Our guidance is based on consistent currency rates during 2015 and does not include the impact of any future acquisitions.

Westgate commented, "We expect continued strong growth and margin expansion in 2015 resulting from leveraging the Jason Business System. This focus will result in organic and inorganic revenue growth and improved performance from operational excellence initiatives across our businesses. Product innovation and attractive customer value propositions will drive organic growth, including new underbody products in our Acoustics segment, new construction and agriculture products designed for global markets in our Seating segment, further market penetration in the rail and industrial industries in our Components business, and innovative product solutions in our Finishing segment. Our acquisition pipeline continues to build as we evaluate attractive opportunities for inorganic growth. We enter 2015 with strong momentum toward execution of our core strategies and building shareholder value."

Warrant Repurchase Program:

The Company also announced that its Board of Directors approved a new warrant repurchase program. The program authorizes management to repurchase in the aggregate up to $5 million of the outstanding warrants to purchase common stock of Jason Industries. Repurchases may be made by the Company from time to time in open-market or privately-negotiated transactions as permitted by securities laws and other legal requirements, and subject to market conditions and other factors. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to make repurchases at any specific time or situation. The repurchase program does not have an expiration date and may be amended or terminated by the Board of Directors at any time without prior notice.

Non-GAAP and Other Company Information

Included in this press release are certain non-GAAP financial measures designed to complement the financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America because management believes such measures are useful to investors.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA - The Company defines EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation and amortization and (gain)/loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA, excluding the impact of operational restructuring charges and non-cash or non-operational losses or gains, including long-lived asset impairment charges, integration and other operational restructuring charges, transactional legal fees, other professional fees and special employee bonuses, Newcomerstown fire losses and gains, multiemployer pension plan withdrawal expense (gain), purchase accounting adjustments, sponsor fees and expenses, and non-cash share based compensation expense.

Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides a clear picture of the Company's operating results by eliminating expenses and income that are not reflective of the underlying business performance. The Company uses this metric to facilitate a comparison of operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period and to analyze the factors and trends affecting its segments. The Company's internal plans, budgets and forecasts use Adjusted EBITDA as a key metric and the Company uses this measure to evaluate its operating performance and segment operating performance and to determine the level of incentive compensation paid to its employees.

*Note: The application of acquisition accounting for the Business Combination significantly affected certain assets, liabilities, and expenses. As a result, financial information in the period June 30, 2014 through December 31, 2014 is not comparable to Jason's predecessor financial information. Therefore, we did not combine certain financial information in the period June 30, 2014 through December 31, 2014 with Jason's predecessor financial information in the period January 1, 2014 through June 29, 2014 for comparison to prior periods. We have combined our net sales and Adjusted EBITDA in (1) the period June 30, 2014 through September 26, 2014 with Jason's predecessor net sales and Adjusted EBITDA in the period June 28, 2014 through June 29, 2014, which comprises Jason's fiscal third quarter, and (2) in the period June 30, 2014 through December 31, 2014 with Jason's predecessor net sales and Adjusted EBITDA in the period January 1, 2014 through June 29, 2014, which comprises Jason's fiscal full year 2014. Net sales and Adjusted EBITDA were not affected by acquisition accounting.
