WOOD DALE, Ill., Aug. 12, 2024 (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, announces second quarter 2024 financial results.

Second Quarter 2024 Results

Today, Power Solutions International, Inc., reported record profit for the three months ended June 30, 2024, with net income of $21.5 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.94, compared to net income of $6.4 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.28 for the second quarter of 2023.

Dino Xykis, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "I am pleased to report that in the second quarter, we achieved record-breaking results with a gross margin of 31.8% and net profit of $21.5 million. Our sales performance was driven by high demand in the power systems market, offset by the decrease in sales from some of our transportation customers and the softness we observed in the industrial market. Our team has demonstrated remarkable dedication to profit maximization and cost management, which has significantly bolstered margin, profitability and shareholder equity this quarter."

Xykis continued, “Looking ahead, we remain optimistic about sales increase for the remainder of the year, thanks to the continued robust demand for products in the power systems, especially PSI products serving the growth of Data Center markets that PSI has been actively pursuing since last year. We have successfully secured and are in the process of finalizing several major multi-year sales agreements with key customers for Data Center applications. These strategic partnerships are poised to drive future growth in this segment now and in the future. Our focus remains on leveraging these opportunities to drive further profitable growth and deliver sustained value to our shareholders.”

Sales for the second quarter of 2024 were $110.6 million, a decrease of $11.3 million, or 9%, compared to the second quarter of 2023, as a result of lower sales of $14.1 million and $15.8 million within the industrial and transportation end markets, respectively, partially offset by an increase of $18.6 million in the power systems end market. Higher power systems end market sales are primarily due to increased demand for products across various applications, with the largest increases attributable to products used within the packaging market such as enclosures serving the fast-growing Data Center market, as well as oil and gas products and demand response products. We are strategically prioritizing the rapidly expanding Data Center sector, improving and increasing our manufacturing capacity and capabilities to meet and exceed our customers’ evolving demand for our products. The decreased sales within the transportation end market were primarily attributable to lower sales in the truck and school bus market as customer products have evolved, and new compliance and regulatory requirements have changed engine product offerings. Decreased industrial end market sales are primarily due to decreases in demand for products used within the material handling and arbor care markets, as well as the direct effects of enforcement of the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (“UFLPA”), which limited the Company’s ability to import certain raw materials in early 2024.

Gross profit increased by $8.2 million, or 31%, during the second quarter of 2024 as compared to the same period in the prior year. Gross margin in the second quarter of 2024 was 31.8%, an increase of 9.7 percentage points compared to 22.1% in the same period last year, primarily due to improved mix, pricing actions, higher operating efficiencies, lower warranty costs primarily attributable to the Company's sales shift away from some of our transportation customers.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased during the second quarter of 2024 by $6.0 million, or 57%, compared to the same period in the prior year, mostly attributable to a decrease in the legal reserve, lower professional fees, and the decrease selling expenses associated with decreased sales in the transportation segment.

Interest expense was $2.9 million in the second quarter of 2024 as compared to $4.6 million in the same period in the prior year, largely due to reduced outstanding debt, partially offset by higher overall effective interest rates.

Net income was $21.5 million, or net income per share of $0.94 in the second quarter of 2024, compared to net income of $6.4 million, or net income per share of $0.28 for the second quarter of 2023.

Debt Update

The Company’s total debt was approximately $135.1 million at June 30, 2024, while cash and cash equivalents were approximately $28.8 million. This compares to total debt of approximately $145.2 million and cash and cash equivalents of approximately $22.8 million at December 31, 2023. Included in the Company’s total debt at June 30, 2024, were borrowings of $40.0 million under the Uncommitted Revolving Credit Agreement (“Credit Agreement”) with Standard Chartered Bank, borrowings of $25.0 million, $50.0 million, and $19.8 million respectively, under the various Shareholder Loan Agreements, with Weichai America Corp., its majority stockholder, as described in more detail in the Company's Form 10-Q for the first quarter of 2024. The Company made payments totaling $5.0 million related to the Credit Agreement, during the second quarter of 2024. The Company is proactively seeking opportunities to optimize and strengthen our debt structure.

Outlook for 2024

The Company expects its sales in 2024 to increase by approximately 3% versus 2023 levels, a result of expectations for strong growth in the power systems end market paired with flat sales in the industrial end market and a forecasted reduction in the transportation end markets. Notwithstanding this outlook, which is being driven in part by expectations for continuous 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 and Israel, among other factors.

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 within the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. 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.
