Mayville Engineering Company, Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2021 Results

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 components, today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2021.

Second Quarter Highlights:

  • Produced net sales of $120.2 million
  • Recorded net income of $3.3 million
  • Generated Adjusted EBITDA of $14.0 million
  • Completed agreement for new 450,000 sq. ft. facility in Hazel Park, MI
  • Net debt of $46.2 million, down $1.7 million from December 31, 2020
  • Company confirms and narrows 2021 guidance ranges

“I am pleased to report that we continue to see strong demand trends across almost all of the end markets we focus on today, which is reflected in our excellent results this quarter,” noted Bob Kamphuis, Chairman, President and CEO. “While finding quality employees, inflationary pressures, and supply chain constraint factors continue to be challenges in 2021, we have fared better than many similar companies and continue to find creative solutions to the issues that arise. We recently began work building out our new facility in Hazel Park, Michigan, which will include state of the art technology and automation and are on track to begin production for our new customer in early 2022 as planned.”

Second Quarter 2021 Results

Net sales were $120.2 million for the second quarter of 2021, as compared to $62.6 million for the same prior year period. The $57.6 million improvement was driven by increased sales volumes due to the strengthening of market conditions in the current period and the impact of customer facility shutdowns caused by the COVID-19 pandemic during the prior year period.

Manufacturing margins were $16.3 million of income for the second quarter of 2021, as compared to a loss of $1.2 million for the same prior year period. The increase was primarily attributable to the sales volume increases in the current period, coupled with the utilization of investments in new technology and automation. In addition, reduced overhead costs following the closure of the Greenwood, SC facility in 2020, resulted in a significant improvement in absorbed manufacturing overhead costs and $0.4 million related to the reversal of inventory obsolescence and healthcare reserves specific to the estimated potential impacts of COVID-19. This was offset by the lag in contractual raw material price increases passed through to customers in the current period. The Company incurred $0.1 million in launch costs related to the new Hazel Park, MI facility for our new customer in the fitness equipment market. Additionally, the prior year period included $1.8 million of restructuring costs charged to cost of sales related to the Greenwood, SC facility closure.

Profit sharing, bonuses, and deferred compensation expenses were $3.2 million for the second quarter of 2021, as compared to $1.2 million for the same prior year period. The increase of $2.0 million was primarily driven by the return of normalized discretionary employer 401(k) and bonus accruals as business activity and sales volumes move towards pre-pandemic levels.

Other selling, general and administrative expenses were $5.4 million for the second quarter of 2021, as compared to $4.6 million for the same prior year period. The increase was mainly attributable to higher salary and payroll expenses and higher travel and entertainment expenses, which were artificially low in the prior year period due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Interest expense was $0.5 million for the second quarter of 2021, as compared to $0.6 million for the same prior year period due to lower debt levels in the current period and comparative interest rates in the prior year period.

Income tax expense was $1.0 million for the second quarter of 2021 as compared to income tax benefit of $2.5 million for the same prior year period. Federal income tax expenses will be offset against our federal net operating loss carryforward of approximately $11.8 million until it is fully utilized.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

Net debt was $46.2 million as of June 30, 2021, resulting in a leverage ratio of 1.0x as compared to a covenant maximum of 3.75x.

Capital expenditures were $17.0 million during the first half of 2021, as compared to $3.7 million for the same prior year period. The Company continues to invest in technology and automation versus focusing on preserving cash during the pandemic impacted prior year period. Additionally, the Company invested $5.3 million in the new Hazel Park, MI facility during the quarter in preparation for the ramp-up of production for our new strategic customer in the fitness equipment market in early 2022. Overall, capital expenditures for 2021 are expected to be in the range of $55 to $65 million, with $35 to $45 million specifically focused on investments in the new Hazel Park, MI facility.

Outlook

Based on the Company’s recent performance, the overall economic climate, and industry trends, the Company is confirming its 2021 financial outlook, and slightly increasing its revenue range based on the impact of increased material price pass throughs:

  • Net sales are expected to be between $470 million to $490 million.
  • Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be between $48 million and $52 million net of the launch costs of between $3.5 million to $5.1 million associated with the new customer relationship.

Kamphuis commented, “As we look into the second half of the year, we are well positioned to sustain our momentum and are confident in our ability to meet our current guidance assuming the economy remains relatively consistent and supply chain issues do not deteriorate significantly. We remain flexible and are focused on working with our customers as they strive to meet burgeoning demand for their products and work around shortages.”

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 (loss) 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 stock-based compensation expenses and restructuring expenses related to the closure of the Greenwood facility. 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 (loss) 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 (loss), 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.
