"We reported stronger net sales, a healthy increase in backlog, and margins that are trending higher and continue to progress towards previously stated financial objectives," said Michael Coffey, CEO of Manitex International. "We remain encouraged that much of the persistent inflationary pressures and other supply chain challenges in 2022 have been offset by more favorable pricing, cost reductions and efficiency gains that we've implemented. We are pleased with the progress we've made, and we believe there is more to come. Recovering industrial markets, a robust order book, with bookings slightly outpacing sales, and other indicators of operating improvement are all providing us with confidence in a strong finish to the year and into 2023, with growth throughout each of our product categories."

"Rabern Rentals, which we acquired in April, delivered strong results in the quarter, with sales that are well ahead of last year, a trend that we expect to continue and contribute nicely to our sales growth and margin recovery. At the end of the quarter, we announced deliveries had begun on a $15 million aerial work platform (AWP) order to Enel, and those deliveries continue to go as planned. Another one of our large accounts, Craneworks, with multiple locations throughout the country, placed a significant order for Manitex boomtrucks of various weight capacities. During the quarter, we also launched three new PM articulated crane products to our global dealer network, which were designed for global applications and in particular, with a focus on the North American markets," concluded Mr. Coffey.

Financial Results for the Second Quarter ended June 30, 2022

Net revenues increased $9.6 million or 15.9% to $69.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 from $60.0 million for the comparable period in 2021.

Net loss was $2.1 million, or $(0.10) per share for the second quarter compared with net income of $5.4 million in the same period last year. Adjusting for non-recurring items, including restructuring and acquisition expenses, adjusted net income was $1.1 million, or $0.05 per share for the second quarter of 2022 compared with $2.2 million, or $0.11 per share in last year's same period, which included a $3.7 million non-recurring gain that was not repeated in this year's June quarter.

The company's Adjusted EBITDA was $5.2 million, or 7.4% of sales, compared with $4.2 million, or 7.1% of sales in last year's same period. Adjusted EBITDA was 7.4%, the highest level achieved in two years. Rabern Rentals, which was acquired during the second quarter of 2022, is having a significant positive impact on the company's margin performance, as anticipated.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Items

In this press release, we refer to various non-GAAP (U.S. generally accepted accounting principles) financial measures which management uses to evaluate operating performance, to establish internal budgets and targets, and to compare the Company's financial performance against such budgets and targets. These non-GAAP measures, as defined by the Company, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures being disclosed by other companies. While adjusted financial measures are not intended to replace any presentation included in our condensed consolidated financial statements under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and should not be considered an alternative to operating performance or an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity, we believe these measures are useful to investors in assessing our operating results, capital expenditure and working capital requirements and the ongoing performance of its underlying businesses. A reconciliation of Adjusted GAAP financial measures is included with this press release. Results of operations reflect continuing operations. All per share amounts are on a fully diluted basis. The amounts described below are unaudited, are reported in thousands of U.S. dollars, and are as of the dates indicated.
