• NN, Inc. Reports Financial Results for First Quarter 2023

    Источник: Nasdaq GlobeNewswire / 04 май 2023 16:30:00   America/New_York

    CHARLOTTE, N.C., May 04, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NN, Inc. (NASDAQ: NNBR), a global diversified industrial company that manufactures high-precision components and assemblies, today reported its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023.

    Warren Veltman, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Our first quarter results were adversely impacted by reduced production volumes resulting from decreases in residential and commercial construction and the end of COVID-19 restrictions in China. Customers have also reduced inventory levels to buffer against future volume uncertainty further impacting volumes. From an operational perspective, we continued to experience product launch inefficiencies within our Mobile Solutions group. While we are disappointed with our financial results at the start of the year, we significantly improved free cash flow performance in comparison to a year ago, and our liquidity position remains solid. We remain on plan with cost improvements associated with our facility closures and have taken action to further improve our cost structure through a 10% global reduction of indirect labor that will begin to benefit our results in the second quarter.”

    First Quarter GAAP Results

    Net sales were $127.1 million, a decrease of 0.8% from the first quarter of 2022, primarily due to reduced volume and unfavorable foreign exchange impacts, partially offset by ongoing pricing actions.

    Loss from operations was $7.1 million compared to a loss from operations of $3.4 million in the first quarter of 2022. The increase in loss from operations was primarily driven by lower volume and operating inefficiencies, partially offset by pricing in excess of inflation.

    Income from operations for Power Solutions was $1.7 million compared to income from operations of $0.4 million for the same period in 2022. Loss from operations for Mobile Solutions was $3.3 million compared to income from operations of $2.0 million for the same period in 2022.

    Net loss was $10.2 million compared to net loss of $3.3 million for the same period in 2022. The increase in net loss can be attributed to reduced sales volume, decreased income from the China joint venture due to lower sales volume, and unfavorable overhead absorption, partially offset by pricing in excess of inflation.

    First Quarter Adjusted Results

    Adjusted loss from operations for the first quarter of 2023 was $0.4 million compared to adjusted income from operations of $2.7 million for the same period in 2022. Adjusted EBITDA was $8.1 million, or 6.4% of sales, compared to $13.4 million, or 10.5% of sales, for the same period in 2022. Adjusted net loss was $5.7 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net loss of $0.2 million, or $0.00 per diluted share, for the same period in 2022.

    Free cash flow was a use of cash of $3.7 million compared to a use of cash of $9.4 million for the same period in 2022.

    Power Solutions

    Net sales for the first quarter of 2023 were $49.1 million compared to $52.0 million in the first quarter of 2022, a decrease of 5.7% or $2.9 million. The decrease in sales was primarily due to reduced volume, related to the slowing of residential and commercial construction activity, inventory resets, and the impact of plant closures on aerospace and defense sales, partially offset by price. Adjusted income from operations was $5.5 million compared to adjusted income from operations of $5.2 million in the first quarter of 2022. The increase in adjusted income from operations was primarily due to premium pricing during closure of the Irvine facility, partially offset by reduced volumes and unfavorable overhead absorption.

    Mobile Solutions

    Net sales for the first quarter of 2023 were $78.0 million compared to $76.1 million in the first quarter of 2022, an increase of 2.6% or $1.9 million. The increase in sales was primarily due to increased pricing, partially offset by reduced volume and unfavorable foreign exchange effects. Adjusted loss from operations was $0.8 million compared to adjusted income from operations of $3.0 million in the first quarter of 2022. The decrease in adjusted income from operations was primarily driven by volume reductions, the impact of reduced income from the China joint venture due to lower volume, unrecovered inflation and inefficiencies at two specific facilities.

    2023 Outlook

    Based on results for the first quarter, as well as expectations for the remainder of the year, the Company has revised its expectations for financial results for the full year as follows:

    • Revenue in the range of $515 million to $545 million;
    • Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $47 million to $57 million; and
    • Free cash flow in the range of $7 to $17 million.

    Free cash flow outlook includes estimated cash outflows for severance, settlement, and facility closure costs of ~$7 million but does not include the CARES Act tax refund of ~$11 million due to uncertain timing.

    NN will discuss its results during its quarterly investor conference call on May 5, 2023, at 9:00 a.m. ET. The call and supplemental presentation may be accessed via NN's website, www.nninc.com.

    The Company discloses in this presentation the non-GAAP financial measures of adjusted income (loss) from operations, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) per diluted common share, and free cash flow. Each of these non-GAAP financial measures provides supplementary information about the impacts of acquisition, divestiture and integration related expenses, foreign-exchange impacts on inter-company loans, reorganizational and impairment charges. Over the past five years, we have completed several acquisitions, one of which was transformative for the Company, and sold two of our businesses. The costs we incurred in completing such acquisitions, including the amortization of intangibles and deferred financing costs, and these divestitures have been excluded from these measures because their size and inconsistent frequency are unrelated to our commercial performance during the period, and which we believe are not indicative of our ongoing operating costs. We exclude the impact of currency translation from these measures because foreign exchange rates are not under management’s control and are subject to volatility. Other non-operating charges are excluded as the charges are not indicative of our ongoing operating cost. We believe the presentation of adjusted income (loss) from operations, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) per diluted common share, and free cash flow provides useful information in assessing our underlying business trends and facilitates comparison of our long-term performance over given periods.

    The non-GAAP financial measures provided herein may not provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other companies in the Company's industry, as other companies may calculate such financial results differently. The Company's non-GAAP financial measures are not measurements of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to actual income growth derived from income amounts presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company does not consider these non-GAAP financial measures to be a substitute for, or superior to, the information provided by GAAP financial results.

    (a) Non-GAAP Adjusted income (loss) from operations represents GAAP income (loss) from operations, adjusted to exclude the effects of restructuring and integration expense; non-operational charges related to acquisition and transition expense, intangible amortization costs for fair value step-up in values related to acquisitions, non-cash impairment charges, and when applicable, our share of income from joint venture operations. We believe this presentation is commonly used by investors and professional research analysts in the valuation, comparison, rating, and investment recommendations of companies in the industrial industry. We use this information for comparative purposes within the industry. Non-GAAP adjusted income (loss) from operations is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as a measure of liquidity or as an alternative to GAAP income (loss) from operations.

    (b) Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA represents GAAP net income (loss), adjusted to include income taxes, interest expense, write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs, interest rate swap payments and change in fair value that was recognized in earnings, change in fair value of preferred stock derivatives and warrants, depreciation and amortization, charges related to acquisition and transition costs, non-cash stock compensation expense, foreign exchange gain (loss) on inter-company loans, restructuring and integration expense, costs related to divested businesses and litigation settlements, income from discontinued operations, and non-cash impairment charges, to the extent applicable. We believe this presentation is commonly used by investors and professional research analysts in the valuation, comparison, rating, and investment recommendations of companies in the industrial industry.
