(a) Certain prior period amounts have been revised to correct immaterial errors. See accompanying financial statement for additional details.

• Net sales were driven by volume, pricing and mix that generated increases in both domestic and international equipment and parts sales. International sales increased in nearly all international markets in which we sell.
• Operating margin increased as higher net sales outpaced inflation, manufacturing inefficiencies, increased expenses for selling, general and administrative, research and development and restructuring. Selling, general and administrative expense were lower as a percentage of sales as we leveraged investments in future growth initiatives.
• The effective tax rate for the quarter was higher compared to the same quarter in 2021 primarily due to a discrete income tax expense for establishing a valuation allowance at our Brazilian subsidiary, partially offset by benefits of research and development net tax credits and from the foreign derived intangible income deduction.
• Adjusted net income and Adjusted EPS exclude $8.8 million and $0.38, respectively, of incremental costs, net of tax, primarily driven by our transformation program initiatives to optimize our company for long term value creation and restructuring charges related to our recent chief executive officer transition. Excluding the discrete income tax effect of the Brazil valuation allowance, Adjusted EPS would have been $0.58.

Segments Results

Infrastructure Solutions - Road building equipment, asphalt and concrete plants, thermal storage solutions.

• Net sales of $238.4 million increased 27.1% due to strong domestic and stable international demand, pricing and mix that generated increased equipment and parts sales.
• Segment Operating Adjusted EBITDA of $23.1 million increased 79.1% primarily due to higher net sales and a 110 basis point improvement in gross profit margin partially offset by manufacturing inefficiencies and increased research and development costs. Segment Operating Adjusted EBITDA margin of 9.7% increased 280 basis points.

Materials Solutions - Processing equipment to crush, screen and convey aggregates.

• Net sales of $109.8 million increased 39.0% due to favorable volume, pricing and mix in both equipment and parts sales.
• Segment Operating Adjusted EBITDA of $9.7 million increased 246.4% due to increased net sales partially offset by a 50 basis point decline in gross profit margin resulting from manufacturing inefficiencies. Segment Operating Adjusted EBITDA margin of 8.8% increased 530 basis points.

Balance Sheet, Cash Flow and Liquidity

• We ended the year with balance sheet cash of $66.0 million, a 50.9% decrease from the prior year end.
• Net cash used in operating activities for the year was $73.9 million as we carried additional inventories on hand to satisfy growth in customer demand for our products.
• Net cash used in investing activities for the year was $53.2 million including the investments in property and equipment to facilitate growth as well as an acquisition, net of cash acquired.
• Net cash provided by financing activities for the year was $60.1 million driven by net proceeds from borrowings partially offset by the payment of dividends and repurchase of stock.

Fourth Quarter Capital Allocation

• Capital expenditure investments to increase capacity and improve efficiency were $13.1 million.
• Dividend of $0.13 per share.
• Repurchased approximately $4.0 million of shares. Remaining authorization is $115.7 million.

Leadership Change

As previously announced on January 6, 2023, Mr. Barry A. Ruffalo's employment as President and Chief Executive Officer was terminated and he was succeeded by Mr. Jaco van der Merwe. In accordance with the terms of Mr. Ruffalo's separation agreement, we recorded $4.4 million of restructuring related costs in the fourth quarter of 2022. Additional costs are anticipated to be incurred in the first quarter of 2023 for this separation related to the modification of Mr. Ruffalo's equity awards as well as third-party transition support costs.

Management continually reviews our organizational structure and operations to ensure they are optimized and aligned with achieving our near-term and long-term operational and profitability targets. In connection with this review, in February 2023, we implemented a limited restructuring plan to right-size and reduce the fixed cost structure of our overhead departments. We anticipate charges of $3.0 million to $4.0 million for employee termination costs, excluding equity award modifications, to be incurred primarily in the first quarter of 2023. No further actions are currently planned. However, additional actions may be taken as a result of management’s ongoing business reviews.

Such statements relate to, among other things, income, earnings, cash flows, changes in operations, operating improvements, businesses in which we operate and the United States and global economies.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In an effort to provide investors with additional information regarding the Company's results, the Company refers to various U.S. GAAP (U.S. generally accepted accounting principles) and non-GAAP financial measures which management believes provides useful information to investors. These non-GAAP financial measures have no standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to the calculation of similar measures for other companies. Management of the Company does not intend these items to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measures. Nonetheless, this non-GAAP information can be useful in understanding the Company's operating results and the performance of its core business. Management of the Company 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. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is included in the appendix to this News Release.
