WOOD DALE, Ill., March 31, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 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 fourth quarter and full year 2022 financial results.
Fourth Quarter 2022 Results
Sales for the fourth quarter of 2022 were $137.0 million, an increase of $10.0 million, or 8%, versus the comparable period last year. The improvement in sales is comprised of increases of approximately $19.5 million and $10.0 million in the industrial and power systems end markets, respectively, partially offset by a decrease of $19.5 million in the transportation end market. The increased sales within the industrial end market primarily reflect increased demand for products used in the material handling/forklift markets. Higher power systems end market sales were driven by increases across various categories, including standby and customers that have traditionally served the oil and gas market. The decreased sales within the transportation end market were primarily attributable to lower sales in the medium duty truck market, coupled with lower sales of school bus products.
Gross profit increased by $19.8 million, or 204%, in the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to the same period last year. Gross margin in the fourth quarter of 2022 was 21.5% versus 7.6% last year, primarily due to the impact of higher sales, improved mix and pricing actions, and lower warranty expenses, among other items. For the fourth quarter of 2022, warranty costs were $1.0 million, a decrease of $7.0 million compared to warranty costs of $8.0 million last year, due largely to a contract revision for the transportation end market engines and decreased charges for adjustments to preexisting warranties during the fourth quarter of 2022. A majority of the warranty activity for the period is attributable to products sold within the transportation end market.
Operating expenses increased by $0.2 million, or 1%, versus the comparable period in 2021, primarily attributable to higher incentive compensation expense which was partially offset by a decrease in severance expenses driven by rightsizing activities during the same period in 2021.
Interest expense was $4.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 as compared to $2.1 million for the same period in the prior year, largely due to higher average outstanding debt and a higher overall effective interest rate on the Company’s debt during the fourth quarter of 2022.
Net income in the fourth quarter of 2022 was $9.3 million, or earnings of $0.40 per share, versus a net loss of $7.6 million, or $0.33 per share for the comparable prior year period. Adjusted net income was $10.1 million, or Adjusted earnings per share of $0.44, versus Adjusted net loss of $5.7 million, or Adjusted loss per share of $0.25 for the fourth quarter of 2021. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) was $16.3 million compared to negative Adjusted EBITDA of $1.9 million in the fourth quarter last year.
Net cash flows provided by operating activities was $8.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 as compared to net cash used by operating activities of $22.4 million in the prior year, primarily driven by the increase in earnings and improvements from working capital accounts.
See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for the Company’s definition of total Adjusted net income (loss), Adjusted earnings (loss) per share, EBITDA, 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 $211.0 million at December 31, 2022, while cash and cash equivalents were approximately $24.3 million. This compares to total debt of approximately $211.7 million and cash and cash equivalents of approximately $16.5 million at September 30, 2022. Included in the Company’s total debt at December 31, 2022 were borrowings of $130.0 million under the Uncommitted Revolving Credit Agreement with Standard Chartered Bank (the “Credit Agreement”), borrowings of $25.0 million, $50.0 million, and $4.8 million under the Second, Third and Fourth Shareholder’s Loan Agreements, respectively, with Weichai America Corp. (“Weichai”), the Company’s majority stockholder. The Credit Agreement did not include any financial covenant requirements for the three months ended December 31, 2022.
On March 24, 2023, PSI entered into an amended $130.0 million Credit Agreement (the “Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) with Standard Chartered Bank, which among other items, extends the maturity date of loans outstanding under the Company’s previous Credit Agreement to the earlier of March 22, 2024 or the demand of Standard Chartered. In connection with the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, on March 24, 2023, the Company also amended two of its four separate shareholder’s loan agreements with its majority stockholder, Weichai, to among other things, extend the maturities thereof. Additional details are available in the Company’s Form 8-K filed on March 30, 2023.
Outlook for 2023
The Company currently projects its sales in 2023 to increase by approximately 3% versus 2022 levels, a result of expectations for strong growth in the power systems end markets partly mitigated by a reduction of sales in the transportation end market. The industrial end market is expected to remain relatively flat as compared to 2022 levels. Notwithstanding this outlook, which is being driven in part by expectations for continued improvement in supply chain dynamics, including timelier availability of parts, and a continuation of favorable economic conditions within the United States and across the Company’s various markets, the Company cautions that significant uncertainty remains as a result of supply chain challenges, inflationary costs, commodity volatility, and the impact on the global economy of the war in Ukraine, among other factors.
Management Comments
Dino Xykis, Interim Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Starting in the second quarter of 2022 we took quick and decisive actions to repair and improve our margins to combat the increased costs experienced by the Company in areas such as raw materials and shipping costs. We also extensively reviewed every department within the organization to ensure we are operating as efficiently and effectively as possible. We have been pleased with the results of these initiatives as well as the overall results of the year.”
Xykis added, “We continue to evaluate our portfolio of products to ensure we focus our efforts and resources on improving profitability while developing new products based on market demand and trends. We are also focusing on the continued growth of our aftermarket business for all of our end markets.”
Xykis continued, “While economic uncertainty continues in 2023, we believe that demand from our customers remains favorable and we will benefit from the actions taken last year as we continue to grow.”

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 measures reported by other companies. Management does not use these non-GAAP financial measures for any purpose other than the reasons stated below.
| Non-GAAP Financial Measure | Comparable 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.
