Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to represent cash flow as defined
by generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and should not be
considered as an indicator of cash flow from operations. Adjusted
EBITDA represents net income before net interest expense, income tax
(expense) benefit, depreciation and amortization plus non-recurring
items. However, other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA
differently. Accuride has included information concerning Adjusted
EBITDA in this press release because Accuride's management and our
board of directors use it as a measure of our performance to internal
business plans to which a significant portion of management incentive
programs are based. In addition, future investment and capital
allocation decisions are based on Adjusted EBITDA. Investors and
industry analysts use Adjusted EBITDA to measure the Company's
performance to historic results and to the Company's peer group. The
Company has historically provided the measure in previous press
releases and believes it provides transparency and continuity to
investors for comparable purposes. Certain financial covenants in our
borrowing arrangements are tied to similar measures.

Note:
-----
1) Adjustment for IPO assumes completion of the initial public
   offering on January 1, 2004 and 2005 with net proceeds of
   $89.6 million used to pay down term loan debt at 6.32%. Net impact
   is an after-tax reduction in interest costs including amortization
   of deferred financing costs assuming an effective tax rate of 39%.
2) Net impact is after-tax assuming an effective tax rate of 39%.

Pro forma as adjusted operating earnings and pro forma as adjusted
operating earnings per share differ from the most directly comparable
measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of each
of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is
included in this earnings release. Management believes that these
measures are useful to investors because they exclude transactions of
an unusual nature, allowing investors to more easily compare the
Company's performance from period to period.
