Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
As previously disclosed, the Company has been actively involved in evaluating possible financing alternatives to improve its capital structure. These alternatives may include, subject to market and other conditions, a new asset-based revolving credit facility and/or other previously disclosed proposed financing, which may refinance all or a portion of the Company’s existing first and second lien credit facilities. The Company may at any time elect to no longer pursue any such possible financing.
In connection with the proposed financing transactions previously disclosed, the Company provided, on a confidential basis, to potential financing sources information with respect to adjusted EBITDA for the twelve-months ended March 31, 2013. For purposes of satisfying the Company’s obligations under Regulation FD with respect to such information, the Company hereby discloses that for the twelve-months ended March 31, 2013, the Company is initially projecting adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $37 million to $39 million. This outlook is based on initial projections of 2013 adjusted EBITDA, as previously disclosed by the Company, of $47 million to $54 million and assumes net sales of approximately $625 million for the twelve-months ended March 31, 2013. Raw material costs are estimated at current prices and foreign currency exchange rates are estimated to remain at current levels.
The following table reflects the forecasted guidance range for the twelve-months ended March 31, 2013 for adjusted EBITDA and reconciles such adjusted EBITDA guidance to net income (loss) (in millions):
