Power Solutions International Announces Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results

WOOD DALE, Ill., November 12, 2021 — Power Solutions International, Inc. (the “Company” or “PSI”) (OTC Pink: PSIX), a leader in the design, engineering and manufacture of emission-certified engines and power systems, announced third quarter 2021 financial results.

Third Quarter 2021 Results

Sales for the third quarter of 2021 were $117.6 million, an increase of $3.2 million, or 3%, compared to the comparable quarter last year as a result of higher sales of $10.7 million in the industrial end market, partly offset by decreases of $5.5 million and $2.0 million within the transportation and energy end markets, respectively. The increase in industrial end market sales was primarily due to higher demand for products across various applications, with the largest increase attributable to products used within the material handling/forklift industry. The decrease within the transportation end market primarily reflects a decrease in sales within the terminal tractor and school bus markets. Lower energy end market sales were driven by decreased demand for the Company’s power generation products.

Gross profit decreased by $6.8 million in the third quarter of 2021 compared to the same period last year. Gross margin in the third quarter of 2021 was 9.6% versus 15.9% last year, primarily due to significantly higher warranty expenses, material cost increases, higher tariff and freight costs, and unfavorable product mix. For the three months ended September 30, 2021, warranty costs were $7.3 million, an increase of $4.6 million compared to warranty costs of $2.7 million last year, due largely to higher charges for adjustments to preexisting warranties and lower recognized recoveries in the third quarter of 2021.

Operating expenses decreased by $2.3 million, or 12%, versus the comparable period in 2020, mostly due to lower research, development and engineering expenses of $1.1 million and lower selling, general and administrative costs of $1.0 million.

Other expense (income), net experienced no activity during the third quarter of 2021 compared to income of $0.9 million last year primarily due to the receipt of life insurance proceeds upon the death of a former employee during the 2020 period.

Net loss in the third quarter of 2021 was $7.2 million, or a loss of $0.31 per share, versus net loss of $1.5 million, or $0.06 per share for the comparable prior year period. Adjusted net loss was $4.8 million, or Adjusted loss per share of $0.21, versus Adjusted net income of $0.7 million, or Adjusted earnings per share of $0.03 for the third quarter of 2020. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) was a loss of $1.5 million compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $4.3 million in the third quarter last year.


See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for the Company’s definition of total Adjusted net income (loss), Adjusted earnings (loss) per share, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and the financial tables that accompany this release for reconciliations of these measures to their closest comparable GAAP measures.

Debt and Liquidity

The Company’s total debt was approximately $156 million at September 30, 2021, while cash and cash equivalents were approximately $5 million. These amounts reflect the net impact of customer prepayments of approximately $3 million. Included in the Company’s total debt at September 30, 2021 were borrowings of $130 million under the Uncommitted Revolving Credit Agreement with Standard Chartered Bank (the “Credit Agreement”) and borrowings of $25 million under the Second Shareholder’s Loan Agreement with Weichai America Corp. (“Weichai”), its majority stockholder. The Credit Agreement includes financial covenants which were effective for the Company beginning with the three months ended June 30, 2021, including an interest coverage ratio and a minimum EBITDA threshold, as further defined in the Credit Agreement. For the three months ended June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2021, the Company did not meet the covenants for either of these periods. On November 9, 2021, the Company entered into a waiver with Standard Chartered, which waived the financial covenant defaults for the quarters ended June 30 and September 30, 2021. As previously disclosed, the Company is also party to the First Amended and Restated Shareholder’s Loan Agreement with Weichai, which provides the Company with access of up to $130 million of credit solely for purposes of repaying outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement. The Company has not borrowed any funds under the First Amended and Restated Shareholder’s Loan Agreement.

The Company is working with Weichai to explore near-term financing solutions in addition to longer-term financing options.

Revised Outlook for 2021

During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company believes that its sales will exhibit healthy year-over-year growth with contributions across all end markets. An improvement in gross profit as a percentage of sales in the fourth quarter versus the third quarter is also projected. Also, with the conclusion of the United States Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Illinois (the “USAO”) trial involving former officers and employees of the Company in September 2021, the Company believes its costs related to this matter will cease. Accordingly, the Company expects to experience a decline in legal costs related to this obligation during the fourth quarter. However, at this time, the Company is not able to estimate the potential future amount of its indemnity obligations related to the pending U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission matter involving former officers and employees. Notwithstanding this outlook, which is being driven in part by expectations for improved economic conditions within the United States and across various of the Company’s markets, the Company cautions that significant uncertainty still remains as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, supply chain challenges, and other factors.


Management Comments

Lance Arnett, chief executive officer, commented, “Notwithstanding favorable demand from our customers, our third quarter sales reflect the effect of supply chain challenges that impacted our ability to timely deliver products. Meanwhile, our profitability was impacted by inflationary cost pressures for certain materials and higher shipping-related costs, among other factors. Although we expect these challenges to persist for some time, we are optimistic that our fourth quarter sales will show healthy growth year-over-year. The Company also anticipates an improvement in fourth quarter gross margin versus the third quarter.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the results provided in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) above, this press release also includes non-GAAP (adjusted) financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures provide insight into selected financial information and should be evaluated in the context in which they are presented. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with U.S. GAAP, and non-GAAP financial measures as reported by the Company may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts reported by other companies. The non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, including the related notes, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2021. Management does not use these non-GAAP financial measures for any purpose other than the reasons stated below.

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

Adjusted net income (loss)    Net income (loss)
Adjusted earnings (loss) per share    Earnings (loss) per common share – diluted
EBITDA    Net income (loss)
Adjusted EBITDA    Net income (loss)

The Company believes that Adjusted net income (loss), Adjusted earnings (loss) per share, EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA provide relevant and useful information, which is widely used by analysts, investors and competitors in its industry as well as by the Company’s management in assessing the performance of the Company. Adjusted net income (loss) is defined as net income (loss) as adjusted for certain items that the Company believes are not indicative of its ongoing operating performance. Adjusted earnings (loss) per share is a measure of the Company’s diluted earnings (loss) per common share adjusted for the impact of special items. EBITDA provides the Company with an understanding of earnings before the impact of investing and financing charges and income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA further excludes the effects of other non-cash charges and certain other items that do not reflect the ordinary earnings of the Company’s operations.

Adjusted net income (loss), Adjusted earnings (loss) per share, EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA are used by management for various purposes, including as a measure of performance of the Company’s operations and as a basis for strategic planning and forecasting. Adjusted net income (loss), Adjusted earnings (loss) per share, and Adjusted EBITDA may be useful to an investor because these measures are widely used to evaluate companies’ operating performance without regard to items excluded from the calculation of such measures, which can vary substantially from company to company depending on the accounting methods, the book value of assets, the capital structure and the method by which the assets were acquired, among other factors. They are not, however, intended as alternative measures of operating results or cash flow from operations as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
