Revises Previously Announced 2007 Income Tax Provisions
VAN NUYS, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Superior Industries International, Inc. (NYSE:SUP) today filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission its 2007 Annual Report on
Form 10-K. On March 14, 2008, the Company filed a Form 8-K indicating
that its previously issued financial statements should no longer be
relied upon because of errors in recording deferred tax liabilities
and in accounting for inventory costs and deferred taxes of its
Hungarian equity investee in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States. In the Form 8-K filing,
the Company also indicated that the evaluation of the errors was still
ongoing. On the same day that the Form 8-K was filed, the Company
announced its unaudited operating results for the fourth quarter and
year 2007 versus the same periods of the prior year.

   Subsequent to the announcement of the unaudited 2007 operating
results, and as part of the final evaluation of various tax liability
considerations, it was further determined that the income tax
provision announced for the fourth quarter and year 2007 operating
results had included a tax benefit totaling $1.0 million that should
have been included in the restatement of the 2006 operating results.
Accordingly, the fourth quarter and annual income tax provisions for
2007 and 2006 in the attached table have been revised to include the
correct income tax amounts for each period. Retained earnings as of
December 31, 2007 remains unchanged.
