MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

“Our strong third quarter results demonstrate continued progress on our multi-year business transformation strategy,” stated Michael Coffey, CEO of Manitex. “Revenue, margin realization and Adjusted EBITDA increased materially versus the prior year, while net leverage declined for the fifth consecutive quarter, consistent with our focus on balance sheet optimization.

“Earlier this year we introduced our new strategy, Elevating Excellence, promising targeted commercial growth, improved production output and higher margins,” continued Coffey. “Driven by the extraordinary efforts of our manufacturing team, third quarter revenue increased 10% on an organic basis versus the prior year period. Lifting equipment revenue, when adjusting for year-over-year chassis sale reductions, improved 21% in the quarter. I am very proud of the team and their diligence.”

“The early benefits of our initiatives have meaningfully exceeded expectations, resulting in significant margin expansion and improved profitability for the organization,” continued Coffey. “Third quarter gross margin increased 427 basis points on a year-over-year basis to 23.3%, or more than 200 basis points higher than any quarter we’ve reported in more than five years. We are pleased with the improved margins and see further opportunities in the future.”

“Adjusted EBITDA margin was 11.9% in the third quarter, up nearly 400 basis points from the prior year,” continued Coffey. “Adjusted EBITDA grew 60% in the period. Trailing twelve-month EBITDA margins are now 10.2%, achieving short term goal we set for 2023. We are well positioned and on track to achieve our mid-term goals ahead of schedule.”

“Last quarter we indicated that backlog would begin to decline from historically high levels,” continued Coffey. “The decline is driven by higher production levels, seasonal customer order timing, and modest order intake declines in Western Europe. Our total backlog at quarter end was $197 million and remains 3-times pre-pandemic levels. Year-to-date book-to-build ratios are also strong as is customer sentiment. Given favorable underlying demand within core infrastructure, energy and mining markets, we remain confident that Manitex will continue to deliver the above-market growth outlined in our multi-year plan.”

“Our net debt to trailing twelve-month adjusted EBITDA declined to 2.9x at the end of the third quarter, below our 2023 target of 3.0x,” stated Joseph Doolan, Chief Financial Officer of Manitex. “Throughout 2023, we maintained high levels of working capital, slowing our debt reduction plans. We remain highly focused on further improving working capital efficiency over the coming quarters. Our total liquidity of nearly $29 million, which includes total cash and availability under our credit facilities, provides us with ample financial flexibility to support our organic growth initiatives into 2024.”

“At Manitex, we’re building a highly efficient equipment solutions platform equipped to drive sustained, profitable growth through the cycle,” stated Coffey. “Our third quarter results highlight both the measurable progress we’ve made on our internal initiatives in a relatively short period of time, while signaling the significant growth potential evident within our business. Based on our strong third quarter results and the continued momentum in our business, we are pleased to be raising our full-year 2023 guidance and remain on-track to achieve our 2025 financial targets detailed in our Elevating Excellence strategy.”

THIRD QUARTER 2023 PERFORMANCE

Manitex reported net revenue of $71.3 million in the third quarter 2023, an increase of 9.7% versus the prior-year period, driven by growth in the lifting segment. Revenue growth was negatively impacted by $4.0 million, or approximately 6%, due to lower truck chassis sales, which are largely pass-through revenue items. The Company continues to expect lower chassis sales to be a headwind to reported sales growth and a benefit to reported gross margin in 2023.

Lifting Equipment Segment revenue was $63.7 million in the third quarter 2023, an increase of 11%, versus the prior-year period, or an increase of 21% when excluding the impact of truck chassis sales in the quarter. The sales growth is a direct result of improvements in manufacturing throughput, as well as favorable demand trends in both domestic and international markets. In North America, strong project activity from energy and infrastructure markets continues to drive robust activity levels, while international markets are benefitting from infrastructure projects in Europe and continued strength from mining activity in South America.

Rental Equipment Segment revenue was $7.6 million in the third quarter 2023, supported by strong end-market demand in key North Texas markets, including contribution from the Lubbock, Texas location that opened in March 2023. The Rabern business benefitted from the deployment of new rental fleet acquired in 2022, pricing gains, and our expansion into the Lubbock market.

Total gross profit was $16.6 million in the third quarter, an increase from $12.3 million in the prior-year period due to revenue growth, operational improvement initiatives, improved pricing realization and sales mix. As a result of these factors, gross profit margin increased 427 basis points to 23.3% during the third quarter 2023. The higher US-based steel prices that were a headwind during the second quarter were less of a factor during the third quarter, as the Company has successfully implemented product surcharges in an effort to offset the rising price of steel.

SG&A expense was $10.5 million for the third quarter, compared to $10.4 million for the comparable period last year. R&D costs of $0.9 million were up modestly from $0.7 million last year.

Operating income was $5.2 million for the third quarter 2023, compared to $1.2 million for the same period last year. Third quarter operating margin was 7.3%, an improvement from 1.9% in the prior year period. The year-over-year improvement in operating income was driven by the strong operating performance and disciplined cost control.

The Company delivered GAAP Net Income of $1.7 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the third quarter 2023, compared to a net loss of ($3.4) million, or ($0.17) per diluted share, for the same period last year.

Adjusted EBITDA was $8.5 million for the third quarter 2023, or 11.9% of sales, compared to $5.2 million, or 8.0% of sales, for the same period last year. See Non-GAAP reconciliations in the appendix of this release.

As of September 30, 2023, total backlog was $196.9 million, down 4.9% from the end of the third quarter 2022, driven by the increased production velocity.

BALANCE SHEET AND LIQUIDITY

As of September 30, 2023, total debt was $91.3 million. Cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2023, were $4.9 million, resulting in net debt of $86.4 million, an improvement of $1.4 million for the quarter. Net leverage was 2.9x at the end of third quarter 2023, down from 3.9x at the end of fourth quarter 2022. As of September 30, 2023, Manitex had total cash and availability of approximately $29 million.

Backlog is defined as orders for equipment which have not yet shipped as well as orders by foreign subsidiaries for international deliveries. The disclosure of backlog aids in the analysis the Company’s customers’ demand for product, as well as the ability of the Company to meet that demand.

Backlog is not necessarily indicative of sales to be recognized in a specified future period.

Appendix


Statement on Non-GAAP Financial Measures NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES AND OTHER ITEMS In this presentation, we refer to various non-GAAP (U.S. generally accepted accounting principles) financial measures which management uses to evaluate operating performance, to establish internal budgets and targets, and to compare the Company's financial performance against such budgets and targets. These non-GAAP measures, as defined by the Company, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures being disclosed by other companies. While adjusted financial measures are not intended to replace any presentation included in our consolidated financial statements under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and should not be considered an alternative to operating performance or an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity, we believe these measures are useful to investors in assessing our operating results, capital expenditure and working capital requirements and the ongoing performance of its underlying businesses. A reconciliation of Adjusted GAAP financial measures is included with this presentation. All per share amounts are on a fully diluted basis. The quarterly amounts described below are unaudited, are reported in thousands of U.S. dollars, and are as of the dates indicated. 15
