Second Quarter Financial Results

Net sales were $138.3 million for the second quarter of 2022, as compared to $120.2 million for same prior year period. The 15% increase was primarily driven by contractual raw material price pass-throughs to customers, commercial pricing increases, and improved volumes.

Manufacturing margins were $18.3 million for the second quarter of 2022, as compared to $16.3 million for the same prior year period. The increase was driven by the impact of increased commercial pricing and greater demand, offset by Hazel Park transition costs of $1.9 million and other inflationary costs in the quarter.

Profit sharing, bonuses, and deferred compensation expenses were $1.2 million for the second quarter of 2022, a decrease from the $3.2 million recorded for the same prior year period. The $2.0 million decrease is primarily related to a decrease in deferred compensation expense due to fluctuations within the financial markets.

Other selling, general and administrative expenses were $6.4 million for the second quarter of 2022 as compared to $5.4 million for the same prior year period. The $1.0 million increase was principally attributable to higher consulting and professional fees, as well as inflationary pressures on wages and benefits.

Interest expense was $0.8 million for the second quarter of 2022 and $0.5 million for the same prior year period due to higher average debt levels as compared to the prior year period.

Income tax expense was $1.8 million for the second quarter of 2022 and $1.0 million for the same prior year period. Federal income tax expenses will be offset against our federal net operating loss carryforward of approximately $18.5 million until it is fully utilized.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

Net debt was $79.1 million as of June 20, 2022, which is comprised of the outstanding balance on the Company’s revolver, finance lease liabilities, and equipment financing agreements. Our leverage ratio was 1.52 to 1.00 at the end of the second quarter.

The Company adopted the annual reporting guidance under ASC 842 Leases on January 1, 2022. As a result, the Company has approximately $37.8 million in right-of-use assets, $4.8 million in current liabilities and $33.5 million in long term liabilities related to operating leases as of June 30, 2022.

Capital expenditures were in line with internal expectations at $26.4 million through the first half of the year, as compared to $17.0 million in the same period of last year. The increase relates to our ongoing commitment to investing in new technologies and automation and the build out and repurposing of assets at the Company’s Hazel Park, Michigan facility, which is expected to continue throughout the remainder of 2022.

Outlook

The Company is reiterating its 2022 financial outlook and continues to expect:

• Net sales of between $480 million and $530 million,
• Adjusted EBITDA between $58 million and $70 million.
• This outlook assumes no revenues associated with the fitness customer.

The Company continues to expect capital expenditures for 2022 to be between $55 and $65 million, focused primarily on investments in new technology and automation, the addition of equipment relating to new programs with existing customers, and the repurposing of assets at the new Hazel Park, Michigan facility.

Reddy commented, “Our demand outlook remains positive through the end of the year as we continue to expand our relationships with current customers and explore opportunities with new customers. We expect our volumes will continue to steadily improve as we move through the second half of 2022 as supply chain issues constraining our customers start to subside.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains financial information calculated in a manner other than in accordance with U.S generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

The non-GAAP measures used in this press release are EBITDA, EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin.

EBITDA represents net income before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation, and amortization. EBITDA Margin represents EBITDA as a percentage of net sales for each period. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA before stock-based compensation, Hazel Park transition costs due to the former fitness customer and impairment charges on long-lived assets and gain on contracts specifically purchased to meet obligations under the agreement with our former fitness customer. Adjusted EBITDA Margin represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales for each period. These metrics are supplemental measures of our operating performance that are neither required by, nor presented in accordance with, GAAP. These measures should not be considered as an alternative to net income, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of our operating performance. We present Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin as management uses these measures as key performance indicators, and we believe they are measures frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other parties to evaluate companies in our industry. These measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.

Our calculation of EBITDA, EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin may not be comparable to the similarly named measures reported by other companies. Potential differences between our measures of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA compared to other similar companies’ measures of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may include differences in capital structure and tax positions.

Please reference our reconciliation of net income, the most directly comparable measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, and the calculation of EBITDA Margin and Adjusted EBITDA Margin included in this press release.
