First Quarter 2022 Highlights:

• Net sales increased approximately 21% to $136.3 million as compared to prior year period
• Recorded net income of $3.8 million, a 50% increase over the prior year period
• Basic earnings per share increased $0.06 to $0.19 as compared to prior year period

• Company reiterates 2022 guidance

Robert D. Kamphuis, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer noted, “We are proud to deliver significantly improved performance this quarter, despite the ongoing macroeconomic headwinds. We continue to execute effectively and manage through the ongoing supply chain constraints that are impacting many of our customers. We are also moving quickly to adapt, realign and grow our Hazel Park, Michigan capacity for current customers that are looking to expand their business with MEC.”

First Quarter Financial Results

Net sales were $136.3 million for the first quarter of 2022, as compared to $112.6 million for same prior year period. The 21% increase was primarily driven by contractual raw material price pass-throughs to customers, commercial pricing increases, and improved volumes.

Manufacturing margins were $14.9 million for the first quarter of 2022, in line with the $14.8 million for the same prior year period. The slight increase was driven by the impact of higher demand and commercial pricing, offset by Hazel Park transition costs of $1.9 million in the quarter.

Profit sharing, bonuses, and deferred compensation expenses were $2.6 million for the first quarter of 2022, a decrease from the $2.9 million recorded for the same prior year period. The $0.3 million decrease is primarily related to a decrease in deferred compensation expense offset by increases in expected annual discretionary retirement benefit contributions and bonus expense.

Other selling, general and administrative expenses were $5.7 million for the first quarter of 2022 as compared to $4.7 million for the same prior year period. The $1.0 million increase was principally attributable to higher consulting and professional fees, wages and benefits, information technology and travel and entertainment expenses.

Interest expense was $0.6 million for the first quarter of 2022 and $0.5 million for the same prior year period due to higher average borrowings.

Income tax expense was $1.2 million for the first 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 $86.8 million as of March 31, 2022, which is comprised of the outstanding balance on the Company’s revolver, finance lease liabilities, and equipment financing agreements.

The Company adopted the annual reporting guidance under ASC 842 Leases on January 1, 2022. As a result, the Company has approximately $39.1 million in right-of-use assets, $4.7 million in current liabilities and $34.7 million in long term liabilities related to operating leases as of March 31, 2022.

Capital expenditures were in line with internal expectations at $13.0 million for the first quarter, as compared to $5.6 million in the same period of last year. The increase relates to ongoing investment in new technology and automation and repurposing of assets at the Company’s Hazel Park, Michigan facility, which is expected to continue throughout 2022.

During the quarter, the Company amended its credit agreement to expand its capital expenditure plans of up to $65.0 million during 2022 as it continues to invest in technology and automation to drive efficiency improvements and secure new business opportunities.

Outlook

The Company is reiterating its 2022 financial outlook provided earlier this year 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.

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

Kamphuis commented, “While pandemic and supply chain disruptions persist, demand dynamics remain robust, and we anticipate our volumes will gradually improve as we move through the second half of 2022 and our customers’ supply chain challenges start to improve. We continue to expand our existing relationships and convert new business opportunities as companies look to avail themselves of our market leading operational expertise and unparalleled flexible production capabilities. Our future prospects remain bright with the low end of our 2022 outlook representing considerable projected growth over recent years’ results.”

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 fitness customer and impairment charges on long-lived assets specifically purchased to meet obligations under the agreement with our 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.
