Johnson City, Tenn, June 18, 2015 –NN, Inc., (NASDAQ: NNBR) a diversified industrial company, today announced it is revising its 2015 revenue guidance from the previously provided range of $670 – $690 million dollars as a result of continued weakness in the Brazilian economy. The company now expects 2015 revenue to be between $660 – $670 million dollars.
During 2014, NN and its acquired companies sold approximately $47 million into Brazil. The company now expects 2015 revenue in Brazil to be off the planned $52 million by approximately 38% – 40% based on new estimates showing Brazil’s GDP will contract 2% in 2015 along with the reduction in automotive build and sales estimates in the country.
NN’s 2015 revenue in North America, Europe and Asia remain at or near the guidance levels previously provided. NN continues to reaffirm its 2018 strategic targets.
Richard Holder, President and CEO commented, “While our team did a great job in the first quarter managing our Brazilian business, the economic challenges continue to persist. Light vehicle sales in Brazil were 20% lower through May and are expected to be 30% lower in the coming months compared to the last several years, which have pushed OEM inventories higher than normal. While this economic struggle is disappointing, we remain committed to the Brazilian market and believe our competitive position in the country will provide us a significant advantage in the future. Excluding Brazil, the remainder of our businesses around the globe continue to perform in line with our expectations and we remain committed to achieving our 2018 strategic plan and targets.”
