*The Glossary at the end of this press release contains further

Pro-forma items.
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Andrew Rooke commented,
“In the second quarter, we continued to make good progress with
adding new dealers and penetrating into the rental market with
sales, which are among our top corporate objectives in scaling the
business. Our North American dealer rental locations now stand at
265 and our sales into rental locations accounted for approximately
15% of machine sales in the quarter. Second quarter financial
results, while below plan and impacted by several market headwinds,
were highlighted by positive operating cash flow of over $600,000,
we generated over $2 million in EBITDA and achieved 3 cents in EPS.
Although machine sales increased in the second quarter, our results
reflected a year-over-year quarterly decline in sales. This was
principally due to lower undercarriage sales to our largest
customer. In the second quarter of 2017, this customer’s
undercarriage purchases totaled 40% of their full year shipments,
and thus the comparison to that quarter shows an overall decline in
$2.7 million lower year-over-year sales for the 2018 quarter. Sharp
increases in material costs had a negative impact on our sales,
margins, and bottom-line, with the run rate of higher steel prices
resulting in approximately $2.5 million in higher costs, on an
annualized basis.
“Typical of a cyclical recovery, the higher level of demand for
industrial equipment has resulted in disruption within the supply
chain and lengthened lead times, most notably for engines, which
along with the rising steel costs, present challenges to sourcing
and deliveries during the balance of the year. These challenges
impact our entire industry and we are aggressively working to
overcome these headwinds with initiatives that will largely offset
their impact, from price surcharges introduced in May of this year,
to cost and sourcing improvements which are already yielding
results. We believe that industry wide market pricing will in time
move upwards in recognition of the new cost base for steel, which
will enable a margin recovery going forward. In addition, we are on
pace to recognize an estimated $1 million in annual savings from
relocating our parts distribution business back to Grand Rapids, as
we expected. We are confident in the continued strength of the
industries we serve and there remains plenty of work to do in the
quarters ahead to reach our longer-term sales growth and margin
targets.”
Missi How, Chief Financial Officer, added, “While temporary
spikes in input costs and component availability have presented
some challenges, we remain focused on managing what is in our
control and pursuing opportunities to grow the bottom line.
Inventory levels have increased as we have been receiving in long
lead time production components to support future builds, and in
addition, we have increased our finished machine inventory to
fulfill backlog requirements and support expected future activity
levels. Managing working capital is still a priority and we were
pleased that even with this step up of inventory, our net working
capital as a percent of sales of 23.5% was well within our target
range. We expect to continue to generate cash and maintain
reasonable working capital levels throughout the remainder of
2018.”
Outlook:
Given the first half performance and uncertainties in the supply
chain which are lengthening lead times and impacting customer
buying decisions, ASV’s 2018 sales are likely to be restricted to
show only high single digit growth for this year and remain subject
to how the pricing environment evolves and markets adjust to the
business environment.

Supplemental Information
Cautionary Statement Regarding Non-GAAP Measures
This release contains references to “EBITDA” and “Adjusted
EBITDA.” EBITDA is defined for the purposes of this release as net
income or loss before interest, income taxes, depreciation and
amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA plus stock-based
compensation, less the gain or loss related to non-recurring
events. Management believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are
useful supplemental measures of our operating performance and
provide meaningful measures of overall corporate performance
exclusive of our capital structure and the method and timing of
expenditures associated with building and placing our products.
EBITDA is also presented because management believes that it is
frequently used by investment analysts, investors and other
interested parties as a measure of financial performance. Adjusted
EBITDA is also presented because management believes that it
provides a measure of our recurring core business.
However, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not recognized earnings
measures under generally accepted accounting principles of the
United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and do not have a standardized meaning
prescribed by U.S. GAAP. Therefore, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may
not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.
Investors are cautioned that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not
be construed as alternatives to net income or loss or other income
statement data (which are determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP)
as an indicator of our performance or as a measure of liquidity and
cash flows. Management’s method of calculating EBITDA and Adjusted
EBITDA may differ materially from the method used by other
companies and accordingly, may not be comparable to similarly
titled measures used by other companies.

for approximately $0.2 million of public company costs not included
in EBITDA relating to the period April 1, 2017 to May 17, 2017.
(1) EBITDA is defined as income or loss before interest,
income taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is not a
recognized measure under U.S. GAAP and does not have a standardized
meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP. Therefore, EBITDA may not be
comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The
table above reconciles net income to EBITDA. See “—Cautionary
Statements Regarding Non-GAAP Measures” for further information
regarding EBITDA. (2) Stock compensation and IPO transaction
related compensation costs. (3) Adjusted EBITDA is defined
as EBITDA less the gain or loss related to non-recurring events.
Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized measure under U.S. GAAP and
does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP.
Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar
measures presented by other companies. The table above reconciles
EBITDA to Adjusted EBITDA. See “—Cautionary Statements Regarding
Non-GAAP Measures” for further information regarding EBITDA.

2017 Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA is defined
as Adjusted EBITDA less public company costs.

The tax benefit was generated from a tax
credit of $0.9 million arising from the establishment of a deferred
tax asset on conversion of the Company from a Minnesota limited
liability company to a Delaware corporation immediately prior to
the IPO in May 2017.
(2) Pro forma adjustments for public company costs: The Company
converted from a LLC to a corporation on May 11, 2017. The pro
forma adjustment reflects the run rate of actual public company
costs incurred in 2017 as if the company had been a corporation for
the whole of the period April 1, 2017 to June 30, 2017.
Net working capital as a % of annualized last quarter’s
sales is the sum of accounts receivable and inventory less
