CHARLOTTE, N.C., March 09, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NN, Inc. (NASDAQ: NNBR), a global diversified industrial company that manufactures high-precision components and assemblies, today reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2022.
Warren Veltman, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Our fourth-quarter results were adversely impacted by non-material inflationary cost increases, ongoing supply chain interruptions, especially in China, and product launch inefficiencies in certain North America facilities. We have taken action to address these issues through significant price increases for non-material inflation effective January 1, 2023, corrective action plans to address operating performance issues, and substantial progress on our facility consolidation initiative that will significantly improve our profitability and free cash flow beginning in 2023. Additionally, we were able to achieve our free cash flow outlook for the fourth quarter, and announced an amendment to our credit agreement that will provide additional flexibility for us to navigate what remains a challenging and uncertain operating environment.”
Fourth Quarter GAAP Results
Net sales were $118.0 million, an increase of 6.9% from the fourth quarter of 2021, primarily due to increased pricing and improved demand associated with electrical components, partially offset by unfavorable foreign exchange effects.
Loss from operations was $11.0 million compared to loss from operations of $3.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. The increase in loss from operations was primarily driven by overall lower volume, cost increases due to inflationary pressures, and unfavorable 2022 overhead absorption when compared to 2021. These cost increases were partially offset by lower incentive compensation costs.
Loss from operations for the Power Solutions segment was $0.8 million compared to $0.1 million for the same period in 2021. Loss from operations for Mobile Solutions was $5.4 million compared to income of $0.7 million for the same period in 2021.
Net loss was $12.0 million compared to net income of $0.5 million for the same period in 2021. The increase in net loss was driven by the increased loss from operations as well as and larger favorable warrant valuation adjustments in 2021 than in 2022.
Fourth Quarter Adjusted Results
Adjusted loss from operations for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $3.3 million compared to adjusted income from operations of $0.8 million for the same period in 2021. Adjusted EBITDA was $7.8 million, or 6.6% of sales, compared to $12.1 million, or 10.9% of sales, for the same period in 2021. Adjusted net loss was $5.8 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net loss of $0.8 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, for the same period in 2021.
Free cash flow was a source of cash of $6.4 million compared to a source of cash of $6.5 million for the same period in 2021.
Power Solutions
Net sales for the fourth quarter of 2022 were $50.0 million compared to $44.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, an increase of 11.7% or $5.2 million. The increase in sales was primarily due to higher customer pricing and volume, especially for electrical components. Adjusted income from operations was $4.5 million compared to $2.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. The increase in adjusted income from operations was primarily due to pricing and volume.
Mobile Solutions
Net sales for the fourth quarter of 2022 were $68.0 million compared to $65.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, a increase of 3.6% or $2.4 million. The increase in sales was primarily due to increased pricing, partially offset by a 2021 customer pricing settlement and negative foreign exchange effects. Adjusted loss from operations was $3.7 million compared to adjusted income from operations of $1.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. The decrease in adjusted operating income was primarily driven by the 2021 customer pricing settlement and inflation that was unrecovered in 2022.
Full Year Results
Key financial highlights from the year include:
Net sales increased $21.2 million, or 4.4%, to $498.7 million compared to $477.6 million for 2021, primarily due to increased pricing partially offset by lower volume and unfavorable foreign exchange effects

Income from operations for 2022 in Power Solutions was $3.5 million and loss from operations for Mobile Solutions was $2.2 million.
On an adjusted basis, income from operations for 2022 was $1.9 million compared to adjusted income from operations of $10.1 million in 2021. Adjusted EBITDA for 2022 was $43.9 million, or 8.8% of sales, versus $52.1 million, or 10.9% of sales, for the same period in 2021. Free cash flow was a use of $9.8 million compared to a use of cash of $1.2 million in 2021.
Power Solutions
Net sales for 2022 were $205.2 million compared to $191.8 million in 2021, an increase of 7.0% or $13.4 million. The increase in sales was primarily driven by pricing. Adjusted income from operations for 2022 was $20.1 million compared to $17.9 million in 2021. The increase in adjusted operating income was primarily due to pricing, favorable mix and lower incentive compensation costs partially offset by unfavorable overhead absorption.
Mobile Solutions
Net sales for 2022 were $293.5 million compared to $285.9 million in 2021, an increase of 2.7% or $7.7 million. The increase in sales was driven by pricing, partially offset by lower volume and unfavorable foreign exchange effects. Adjusted income from operations for 2022 was $2.7 million compared to $13.0 million of adjusted operating income in 2021. Adjusted operating income decreased due to unrecovered inflation, unfavorable overhead absorption and lower volume, partially offset by lower incentive compensation costs.
Recent Updates
On March 3, 2023, the Company executed amendments to its ABL and term loan to provide additional flexibility to manage through the current uncertainties in the broader economy. The amendments increase maximum total leverage ratio covenants for the duration of the term loan beginning in 2023 and provide for increased utilization of customer programs to accelerate payment terms. Additionally, the amendments introduce a quarterly domestic liquidity covenant. Interest under the term loan amendment is increased on a paid in kind basis at a rate dependent on the Company’s leverage ratio or whether the Company completes a qualifying equity raise by June 30, 2023. The Company also issued penny warrants to satisfy the lender fee associated with the term loan amendment.
The Company is also in the late stages of negotiations for the sublease of its Taunton, Massachusetts and Irvine, California facilities, with the expected net impact of the subleases to be neutral to cash flow over the remaining term of the leases.
Finally, regarding the search for a new Chief Executive Officer, the Board has actively been interviewing qualified candidates and anticipates naming a new CEO by the second quarter of 2023.
2023 Outlook
The Company has summarized its expectations for 2023 financial performance with certain assumptions documented in its quarterly earnings presentation, as follows:
- Revenue in the range of $525 million to $555 million
- Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $50 million to $60 million
- Free cash flow in the range of $10 to $20 million
- Free cash flow outlook does not include CARES Act tax refund of ~$11 million due to uncertain timing

The Company discloses in this presentation the non-GAAP financial measures of adjusted income (loss) from operations, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) per diluted common share, and free cash flow. Each of these non-GAAP financial measures provides supplementary information about the impacts of acquisition, divestiture and integration related expenses, foreign-exchange impacts on inter-company loans, reorganizational and impairment charges. Over the past five years, we have completed several acquisitions, one of which was transformative for the Company, and sold two of our businesses. The costs we incurred in completing such acquisitions, including the amortization of intangibles and deferred financing costs, and these divestitures have been excluded from these measures because their size and inconsistent frequency are unrelated to our commercial performance during the period, and which we believe are not indicative of our ongoing operating costs. We exclude the impact of currency translation from these measures because foreign exchange rates are not under management’s control and are subject to volatility. Other non-operating charges are excluded as the charges are not indicative of our ongoing operating cost. We believe the presentation of adjusted income (loss) from operations, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) per diluted common share, and free cash flow provides useful information in assessing our underlying business trends and facilitates comparison of our long-term performance over given periods.
The non-GAAP financial measures provided herein may not provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other companies in the Company's industry, as other companies may calculate such financial results differently. The Company's non-GAAP financial measures are not measurements of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to actual income growth derived from income amounts presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company does not consider these non-GAAP financial measures to be a substitute for, or superior to, the information provided by GAAP financial results.
(a) Non-GAAP Adjusted income (loss) from operations represents GAAP income (loss) from operations, adjusted to exclude the effects of restructuring and integration expense; non-operational charges related to acquisition and transition expense, intangible amortization costs for fair value step-up in values related to acquisitions, non-cash impairment charges, and when applicable, our share of income from joint venture operations. We believe this presentation is commonly used by investors and professional research analysts in the valuation, comparison, rating, and investment recommendations of companies in the industrial industry. We use this information for comparative purposes within the industry. Non-GAAP adjusted income (loss) from operations is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as a measure of liquidity or as an alternative to GAAP income (loss) from operations.
(b) Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA represents GAAP net income (loss), adjusted to include income taxes, interest expense, write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs, interest rate swap payments and change in fair value that was recognized in earnings, change in fair value of preferred stock derivatives and warrants, depreciation and amortization, charges related to acquisition and transition costs, non-cash stock compensation expense, foreign exchange gain (loss) on inter-company loans, restructuring and integration expense, costs related to divested businesses and litigation settlements, income from discontinued operations, and non-cash impairment charges, to the extent applicable. We believe this presentation is commonly used by investors and professional research analysts in the valuation, comparison, rating, and investment recommendations of companies in the industrial industry. We use this information for comparative purposes within the industry. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as a measure of liquidity or as an alternative to GAAP income (loss) from continuing operations.
(c) This line item reflects the aggregate tax effect of all non-tax adjustments reflected in the respective table. NN, Inc. estimates the tax effect of the adjustment items identified in the reconciliation schedule above by applying the applicable statutory rates by tax jurisdiction unless the nature of the item and/or the tax jurisdiction in which the item has been recorded requires application of a specific tax rate or tax treatment.
(d) Non-GAAP adjusted net income (loss) represents GAAP net income (loss) adjusted to exclude the tax-affected effects of charges related to acquisition and transition costs, foreign exchange gain (loss) on inter-company loans, restructuring and integration charges, amortization of intangibles costs for fair value step-up in values related to acquisitions and amortization of deferred financing costs, non-cash impairment charges, write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs, interest rate swap payments and change in fair value, change in fair value of preferred stock derivatives and warrants, costs related to divested businesses and litigation settlements, income (loss) from discontinued operations, and preferred stock cumulative dividends and deemed dividends. We believe this presentation is commonly used by investors and professional research analysts in the valuation, comparison, rating, and investment recommendations of companies in the industrial industry.
