Positive Operating Results and Progress with Integration of DMP Acquisition; Successfully Completed IPO on May 13, 2019

Mayville Engineering Company (NYSE: MEC) (the “Company” or “MEC”), a leading U.S.-based value-added manufacturing partner that provides a broad range of prototyping and tooling, production fabrication, coating, assembly and aftermarket services, today announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2019.

Highlights:

  • Produced net sales of $143.7 million.
  • Generated net income of $2.5 million.
  • Recorded Adjusted EBITDA of $16.8 million.
  • Substantial progress with integration of Defiance Metal Products Co. (“DMP”), acquired in December 2018.
  • Completed IPO in May generating total net proceeds of $101.8 million.

“We are pleased with our performance this quarter, which reflects the ongoing strength of our diverse markets served and agile operations combined with the addition of DMP near the end of last year,” noted Robert D. Kamphuis, Chairman, President and CEO of Mayville Engineering Company. “Our recent IPO and subsequent debt reduction provided a significant increase in financial flexibility and we are well positioned to execute our growth strategy going forward. We are excited to partner our new shareholders with our ESOP shareholders whereby alignment and commitment to achieving our goals is a competitive advantage.”

First Quarter 2019 ResultsNet sales were $143.7 million for the first quarter of 2019 compared to $87.2 million for the same prior year period, an increase of $56.5 million, or 64.8%. DMP contributed $50.2 million, or 57.5%, of the increase. The remaining $6.3 million, or 7.3% of the increase, was due to organic growth of our legacy business, mostly driven by increased volumes.

Manufacturing margins were $19.6 million for the first quarter of 2019 compared to $11.8 million for the same prior year period, an increase of $7.8 million, or 65.8%. DMP accounted for $5.6 million, or 47.5%, of the increase. The remaining $2.2 million was driven by improved utilization in our legacy business mostly due to increased volumes.

Depreciation and amortization expenses were $7.7 million for the first quarter of 2019 compared to $5.0 million for the same prior year period, an increase of $2.7 million, or 53.2%. DMP accounted for $0.7 million of the $0.9 million increase in depreciation expense with the remaining $0.2 million attributable to the legacy business’ investments in technology. The $1.7 million increase in amortization expense was solely driven by amortization of identifiable intangible assets related to the DMP acquisition.

Other selling, general and administrative expenses were $7.6 million for the first quarter of 2019 compared to $2.9 million for the same prior year period. The increase of $4.7 million was primarily driven by one-time expenses including $1.8 million related to the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”) and the DMP acquisition along with $0.9 million related to the DMP contingent consideration fair value adjustment. The DMP acquired entities accounted for another $1.5 million of the increase with the remainder mostly attributable to personnel additions needed to enhance the company’s structure of being a publicly traded company and support future growth.

Income tax expenses were $0.8 million for the first quarter of 2019, compared to $29 thousand for the same prior year period. The increase of $0.7 million is due to the acquisition of the DMP entities, which are taxable under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and certain state statutes. Prior to the Company’s IPO, the Company’s legacy business was an S Corporation, where substantially all taxes were passed to the shareholders and the Company did not pay federal or state corporate income taxes on its taxable income. In connection with the IPO, the Company’s legacy business converted to a C Corporation. As a result, the consolidated business will be subject to paying federal and state corporate income taxes on its taxable income from May 12, 2019 forward.

EBITDA and EBITDA Margin percent were $13.7 million and 9.5%, respectively, for the first quarter of 2019, compared to $10.4 million and 11.9%, respectively, for the first quarter of 2018. The $3.3 million increase in EBITDA was due to the acquisition of DMP as well as the organic growth of our legacy business. The decline in EBITDA Margin percentage from 11.9% to 9.5% was primarily due to one-time expenses incurred during the first quarter of 2019. These one-time expenses included $0.4 million of expenses related to the DMP inventory fair value step-up, $1.8 million of one-time expenses related to the IPO and the DMP acquisition, and $0.9 million related to the DMP contingent consideration fair value adjustment.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin percent were $16.8 million and 11.7%, respectively, for the first quarter of 2019, compared to $10.4 million and 11.9%, respectively, for the first quarter of 2018. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA of $6.4 million was due to our recent acquisition of DMP and growth in our legacy business.

Balance Sheet and LiquidityOur total outstanding debt balance, which includes long-term debt and bank revolving credit notes, was $186.6 million as of March 31, 2019 compared to $179.9 million as of December 31, 2018. Funds provided by the $6.7 million debt increase were primarily used for capital expenditures.

As previously announced, the Company completed its IPO on May 13, 2019 generating approximately $101.8 million of total proceeds net of underwriting discounts and commissions. All of these proceeds have been used to pay down debt balances.

OutlookBased on the Company’s 2018 performance, the overall economic climate, and industry trends, the Company is outlining its 2019 financial outlook as follows:

  • Net sales are expected to be between $558 million to $570 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be between $66 million and $72 million

Kamphuis added, “As we approach mid-year, we are providing annual financial guidance for 2019, which represents a strong improvement over last year based on the acquisition of DMP and organic growth across our business. As we look to the second half of the year, we have quickly adapted to life as a public company and remain confident in our ability to execute our strategy and partner with our customers to provide meaningful value to their operations.”

Our actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth in “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in the Company’s previously filed registration statement on Form S-1. Important factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: failure to compete successfully in our markets; risks relating to developments in the industries in which our customers operate; our ability to maintain our manufacturing, engineering and technological expertise; the loss of any of our large customers or the loss of their respective market shares; risks related to scheduling production accurately and maximizing efficiency; our ability to realize net sales represented by our awarded business; our ability to successfully identify or integrate acquisitions; risks related to entering new markets; our ability to develop new and innovative processes and gain customer acceptance of such processes; our ability to recruit and retain our key executive officers, managers and trade-skilled personnel; risks related to our information technology systems and infrastructure; manufacturing risks, including delays and technical problems, issues with third-party suppliers, environmental risks and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements; political and economic developments, including foreign trade relations and associated tariffs; volatility in the prices or availability of raw materials critical to our business; results of legal disputes, including product liability, intellectual property infringement and other claims; risks associated with our capital-intensive industry; risks related to our treatment as an S Corporation prior to the consummation of the initial public offering; risks related to our employee stock ownership plan’s treatment as a tax-qualified retirement plan; and our ability to remediate the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting identified in preparing our audited consolidated financial statements and to subsequently maintain effective internal control over financial reporting.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresThis 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 (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation, and amortization. EBITDA Margin represents EBITDA as a percentage of net sales for each period. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA before transaction fees incurred in connection with the DMP acquisition and our initial public offering, the loss on debt extinguishment relating to our December 2018 credit agreement, and non-cash purchase accounting charges including costs recognized on the step-up of acquired inventory and contingent consideration fair value adjustments. 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.
