BRIDGEVIEW, Ill., May 04, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Manitex International, Inc. (Nasdaq:MNTX), a leading international provider of truck and knuckle boom cranes, today announced First Quarter 2017 results.

The Company reported a first quarter net loss from continuing operations attributable to shareholders of Manitex International of $(3.4) million or $(0.21) per share, compared to net loss from continuing operations attributable to shareholders of Manitex International of $(1.0) million or $(0.06) per share for the three months ended March 31, 2016.

*Adjusted Numbers are defined in non-GAAP explanation at end of this release.
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, David Langevin commented, “Our first quarter of 2017 results reflect a transition from a multi-year downturn in the industrial equipment markets into what we believe is the beginning of a gradual recovery in our largest markets. We were very excited to report during the quarter that our backlog had significantly increased from the end of 2016. And recently we reported that this trend was continuing and our backlog had grown to over $60 million from $38 million at the end of 2016. While we are very pleased with the continuation in the increase in our order backlog, we believe we are still very much in the beginning, and very far from peak level production and sales levels that we estimate to be approximately $350 million for our existing businesses.
“Further, we reported today that our adjusted gross margin had reached 21% for the current quarter which matches the highest level we had seen in several years, and that accomplishment is largely due to our concentrated efforts to reduce the cost structure and from the sale of businesses that were yielding gross margins that were well below the Company’s average. As we increase our production and shipments begin to ramp-up to meet our backlog we will expect revenues, gross profit and cash flow to move gradually higher throughout this year and beyond and we are optimistic that we are well positioned to take advantage of what appears to be the beginning of a recovery.
“We also continue to explore strategic options for our ASV joint venture, with a focus on the sale of all or a portion of our ownership interest in the company. We have made no decision on any option at this time, but we continue to pursue all opportunities. We should note, that if a transaction of the type contemplated were to be completed, it would dramatically transform our balance sheet since ASV would no longer be consolidated into our financial statements. This means that the debt on our balance sheet would be not only reduced by the proceeds of that transaction, but that ASV’s entire debt of approximately $45 million (which is non-recourse to us) would no longer be reflected in our balance sheet.”

Lifting Segment Results
First quarter 2017 revenue of $37.5 million was down $14.6 million, or 28.1%, year-over-year in part as the result of the sale of non-core businesses. While revenues were up over the fourth quarter 2016, the sales in first quarter were not consistent with the increase in backlog. The orders were received late in 2016 and throughout the first quarter of 2017. Our production schedules did not ramp up sufficiently to match the new demand due in part to availability of chassis units to mount the cranes. We have stepped up production capabilities and expect to be able to better address production issues in the second quarter of 2017. As a result, the revenues reflect lower sales of Manitex and PM cranes. Adjusted operating income of $2.5 million was 6.7% of revenue in first quarter 2017 versus adjusted operating income of $3.6 million, which was 6.8% of revenue in first quarter of 2016.
ASV Segment Results
First quarter 2017 revenue of $28.0 million was down slightly compared to first quarter 2016. ASV continued to expand the ASV managed distribution throughout the quarter and focus on higher capacity machine sales, which offset lower volumes of undercarriages sold to Caterpillar. Adjusted operating income of $1.3 million was 4.7% of revenue in first quarter of 2017 versus adjusted operating income of $1.0 million which was 3.6% of revenue in first quarter of 2016. This increase in profit was a result of a full quarter of improved gross margins, as well as selling higher capacity machines, and improved net pricing into the ASV managed distribution network, and reduced SG&A costs.
Equipment Distribution Segment
First quarter 2017 revenue of $3.2 million was down $2.4 million or 43.3% over first quarter 2016, with the decrease primarily related to used equipment sales and parts sales offset by a slight increase in rental income. The adjusted operating loss however declined to $(0.1) million or (2.7)% of revenue in the first quarter of 2017 versus the adjusted operating loss of $(0.4) million which was (7.0)% of revenue in the first quarter of 2016. The lower first quarter 2017 loss was a result of better margins related to the sale of used equipment, combined with cost cutting efforts initiated in the first quarter of 2017.

Supplemental Information
In an effort to provide investors with additional information regarding the Company’s results, Manitex International refers to various non-GAAP (U.S. generally accepted accounting principles) financial measures which management believes provides useful information to investors. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures being disclosed by other companies. In addition, the Company believes that non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, GAAP financial measures. Manitex International believes that this information is useful to understanding its operating results and the ongoing performance of its underlying businesses. Management of Manitex International uses both GAAP and non–GAAP financial measures to establish internal budgets and targets and to evaluate the Company’s financial performance against such budgets and targets. The amounts described below are unaudited, are reported in thousands of U.S. dollars, and are as of, or for the three month period ended March 31, 2017, unless otherwise indicated.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes the following non-GAAP financial measures: “Adjusted EBITDA” (GAAP Operating Income adjusted for acquisition transaction related expense, restructuring and related expense, and Foreign exchange and other, and depreciation and amortization) and Adjusted Net Income (net income attributable to Manitex shareholders adjusted for acquisition transaction related and restructuring and related expense, net of tax, and change in net income attributable to non-controlling interest). These non-GAAP terms, as defined by the Company, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Neither Adjusted Net Income nor Adjusted EBITDA are a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles. Items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net earnings, operating income and other consolidated earnings data prepared in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of our profitability. A reconciliation of Operating Income to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income is provided below.
The Company’s management believes that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of sales and Adjusted Net Income represent key operating metrics for its business. GAAP Operating Income adjusted for acquisition transaction related expense, restructuring and related expense, Foreign exchange and other, and depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA), and Adjusted Net Income, GAAP net income adjusted for acquisition transaction and restructuring related expense are a key indicator used by management to evaluate operating performance. While Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income are not intended to replace any presentation included in our 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. These calculations may differ in method of calculation from similarly titled measures used by other companies. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income to GAAP financial measures for the three month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2017 is included with this press release below and with the Company's related Form 8-K.

Transaction, restructuring, and other expense adjustments
After tax expense and per share amounts (Adjusted Net Income) are calculated using pre-tax amounts, applying a tax rate based on the effective tax rate to arrive at an after-tax amount. This number is divided by the weighted average diluted shares to provide the impact on earnings per share. The company assesses the impact of these items because when discussing earnings per share, the Company adjusts for items it believes are not reflective of operating activities in the periods. During the current period the jurisdictional tax rate is zero, and no pre-tax or after-tax presentation is provided.

Backlog from Continuing Operations
Backlog is defined as purchase orders that have been received by the Company.
