Comments on Results
Jeff Leonard, Alamo Group's President and Chief Executive Officer commented, "Our second quarter results validated our expectation for further improvement in our operations, and once again marked the best quarter in Company history. Notably better supply chain performance supported higher sales, while moderated cost inflation, and improved efficiencies supported margin expansion. Gross margin percent relative to net sales improved 160 basis points compared to the second quarter of 2022. This was driven by price discipline over the past year, stabilized manufacturing flows and improved capacity utilization. Overall, it was an excellent quarter, with the Company delivering
"Conditions in our markets remained relatively strong during the second quarter. Activity in our governmental and industrial contractor segments remained at a high level in the
"As we anticipated, supply chain performance improved for the first six months of 2023. Truck chassis receipts improved again, as expected, but shortages of other industrial components including diesel engines and hydraulic fittings continued. We were able to complete manufacturing of additional machines that had been partially assembled previously, but we continued to have delays in key components which limited improvement in manufacturing efficiency.
"Moving forward, our outlook for the next several quarters remains positive. We expect that the trends evident in our results during the first half of this year will continue for the remainder of 2023. Our backlog remains very strong, and we anticipate continued, positive pricing contribution in the coming quarters. We also expect that several key trends that were evident this quarter, namely better supply chain performance, slowing inflation and sequential improvement of operational performance will continue for the foreseeable future. Our conservative approach to spending will also continue given the economic uncertainty that remains clear.
"Our longer-term outlook is a bit more cautious. We believe that the somewhat softer order activity we experienced in Vegetation Management this quarter was at least partly due to dealer concerns over rising inventories and higher interest rates. The drought in many areas of
"More positively, the outlook for our governmental customers, who represent the majority of Company sales, remains quite positive.
"I want to take this opportunity to thank all of our employees for their exceptional dedication as well as our many suppliers, who worked in close coordination with us to achieve these results. I would also like to thank our dealers and customers who have continued to support our company, and our family of well-known brands.
"In summary, given the continued strength and durability of our markets, our large and healthy backlog, and the strength of our balance sheet, we remain optimistic about the Company's prospects for the remainder of 2023 and beyond."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliation
From time to time, Alamo Group Inc. may disclose certain "non-GAAP financial measures" in the course of its earnings releases, earnings conference calls, financial presentations and otherwise. For these purposes, "GAAP" refers to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) defines a "non-GAAP financial measure" as a numerical measure of historical or future financial performance, financial position, or cash flows that is subject to adjustments that effectively exclude or include amounts from the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by Alamo Group are provided as additional information to investors in order to provide them with greater transparency about, or an alternative method for assessing, our financial condition and operating results. These measures are not in accordance with, or a substitute for, GAAP and may be different from, or inconsistent with, non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Whenever we refer to a non-GAAP financial measure, we will also generally present the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, along with a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP financial measure we reference and such comparable GAAP financial measure.
Attachment 1 discloses a non-GAAP financial presentation related to the impact of currency translation on net sales by division. Attachment 2 shows the net change in our total debt net of cash and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") which is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company considers this information useful to investors to allow better comparability of period-to-period operating performance.
