Consolidated Results

Second Quarter 2023 Results

  • Second quarter 2023 revenues were $262.2 million, compared to $250.8 million in the prior year period, an increase of 4.5%. The increase in revenues was primarily driven by increased pricing and volume from new Electrical Systems business, partially offset by lower volumes in the Industrial Automation segment. Foreign currency translation also favorably impacted second quarter 2023 revenues by $0.7 million, or 0.3%.
  • Operating income in the second quarter 2023 was $15.9 million compared to $6.2 million in the prior year period. The increase in operating income was attributable to higher margins, partially offset by higher SG&A. The second quarter 2023 adjusted operating income was $16.7 million, excluding special charges.
  • Interest associated with debt and other expenses was $2.8 million and $2.1 million for the second quarter 2023 and 2022, respectively.
  • Net income was $10.1 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, for the second quarter 2023 compared to net income of $2.5 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, in the prior year period.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

This earnings release contains financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). In general, the non-GAAP measures exclude items that (i) management believes reflect the Company’s multi-year corporate activities; or (ii) relate to activities or actions that may have occurred over multiple or in prior periods without predictable trends. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to evaluate the Company’s performance, engage in financial and operational planning and to determine incentive compensation.

Management provides these non-GAAP financial measures to investors as supplemental metrics to assist readers in assessing the effects of items and events on the Company’s financial and operating results and in comparing the Company’s performance to that of its competitors and to comparable reporting periods. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.

The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations to those financial statements set forth above should be carefully evaluated.
