WOOD DALE, Ill, May 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Power Solutions International, Inc. (the “Company” or “PSI”) (Nasdaq: PSIX), a leader in the design, engineering and manufacture of emission-certified engines and power systems, announced its financial results for the first quarter 2025.

Financial Highlights

First Quarter 2025 Results

PSI reported a strong profit for the three months ended March 31, 2025, with net income of $19.1 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.83, compared to net income of $7.1 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.31 for the first quarter of 2024.

Dino Xykis, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are extremely pleased with our first quarter results, which represent the best first quarter performance in the Company’s history. Achieving 42% year-over-year sales growth and a 168% increase in net income reflects the strength of our strategic focus and our team's relentless execution. This historic performance underscores the growing demand for our solutions particularly in power systems, combined with company wide operational enhancements and a continued commitment to financial discipline.

In addition, we are actively assessing the evolving tariff environment and are committed to proactively mitigating any associated risks through strategic sourcing, pricing actions, and supply chain agility. Our goal is to ensure continuity and competitiveness regardless of external headwinds.”

Sales for the first quarter of 2025 were $135.4 million, an increase of $40.2 million, or 42%, compared to the first quarter of 2024, primarily as a result of sales increases of $44.7 million and $0.8 million in the power systems and transportation end markets, respectively, offset by a decrease of $5.2 million within the industrial end market. This shift in markets reflects the conscious strategic prioritization toward higher growth markets such as data centers as well as oil and gas products. As part of our prioritization of the rapidly expanding data center sector, the Company is focused on improving and increasing our manufacturing capacity and capabilities to meet customers’ evolving demand for our products. The lower industrial end market sales is primarily driven by reduced demand in the material handling market.

Gross profit increased by $14.5 million, or 56%, during the first quarter of 2025 as compared to the same period in the prior year. Gross margin in the first quarter of 2025 was 29.7%, an increase of 2.7% compared to 27.0% in the same period last year, primarily due to improved mix, pricing actions, and lower warranty costs attributable to the Company's strategic sales shift away from some of our transportation customers. For the first quarter of 2025, warranty costs were $0.6 million, as compared to $1.5 million for the first quarter of 2024.

Selling, general and administrative expenses of $11.1 million increased during the first quarter of 2025 by $1.6 million, or 17%, compared to the same period in the prior year, due to higher legal and administrative expenses and professional fees to support the business growth.

Interest expense was $1.8 million in the first quarter of 2025 as compared to $3.3 million in the same period in the prior year, largely due to reduced outstanding debt and lower overall effective interest rates.

Net income was $19.1 million, or earnings per share of $0.83, in the first quarter of 2025, compared to net income of $7.1 million, or earnings per share of $0.31 for the first quarter of 2024.

Balance Sheet Update

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents were approximately $50.0 million, while total debt was approximately $111.0 million at March 31, 2025. This compares to total debt of approximately $120.2 million and cash and cash equivalents of approximately $55.3 million at December 31, 2024. Included in the Company’s total debt at March 31, 2025 were borrowings of $95.0 million under the Revolving Credit Agreement, and borrowings of $15.0 million, under the Shareholder's Loan Agreement (“SLA”). As part of our ongoing efforts to enhance financial flexibility, we made a $10.0 million payment toward the SLA in the first quarter of 2025. In May 2025, the Company made an additional $5.0 million payment toward the SLA. The outstanding balance under the SLA is $10.0 million as of May 8, 2025. With our strong financial position, we will explore opportunities for long-term debt financing to support our growth strategy and optimize our capital structure.

Outlook for 2025

The Company anticipates an increase in sales for 2025 compared to 2024, driven by expected growth in the power systems end market including products supporting data centers, while sales in the industrial and transportation end markets are projected to remain about flat. However, due to ongoing geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainties, PSI will not provide specific sales growth guidance for 2025.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the results provided in accordance with U.S. GAAP above, this report 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 this report. Management does not use these non-GAAP financial measures for any purpose other than the reasons stated below.

The Company believes that Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per share – diluted, 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 is defined as net income as adjusted for certain items that the Company believes are not indicative of its ongoing operating performance. Adjusted net income per share – diluted is a measure of the Company’s diluted earnings 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, Adjusted net income per share – diluted, 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, Adjusted net income per share – diluted, 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.

The following table presents a reconciliation from Net income to Adjusted net income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:
