Insights

Financial Analyst

The Q3 results reveal significant headwinds with $135.4M in net sales, down 14.4% YoY, though MEC managed to increase net income to $3.0M ($0.14 per share). Despite revenue challenges, the company demonstrated resilience through margin improvement, with Adjusted EBITDA margin expanding to 12.6%.

Key positives include strong free cash flow of $15.1M, healthy liquidity with $135M+ in cash and credit availability and a favorable debt settlement of $25.5M. The strategic closure of the Wautoma facility and 12% workforce reduction should yield $1-3M in annual savings.

However, reduced guidance and broad end-market weakness signal near-term challenges, though management expects recovery by H1 2025. The 7% reduction in sales guidance and 13% cut to EBITDA outlook warrant caution.

Market Research Analyst

The industrial sector weakness is evident across MEC's major segments, with notable declines in Agriculture (31.1%), Military (36.4%) and Construction & Access (23.5%). The commercial vehicle segment outperformed the broader market decline, showcasing MEC's competitive positioning despite headwinds.

The $80M in new project wins and strategic initiatives under the MBX framework position MEC well for future growth. The 2026 targets of $750-850M in sales with 14-16% EBITDA margins remain achievable, supported by operational improvements and strategic cost management.

MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

“During the third quarter, we took decisive action to successfully navigate a soft near-term demand environment, while continuing to deliver strong execution on our strategic priorities, as outlined within our MBX framework,” stated Jag Reddy, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Order activity troughed during the third quarter, as customers took corrective action to de-stock channel inventories amid a period of lower consumption. In response, we deployed a series of cost rationalization initiatives that, in combination, positioned us to deliver a solid Adjusted EBITDA margin performance and continued free cash flow generation during the period.”

“Customer order activity decelerated meaningfully beginning in August, and has since stabilized during the fourth quarter, albeit at a lower level than we anticipated entering 2024,” continued Reddy. “In response to the current demand environment, we introduced a series of cost rationalization initiatives halfway through the third quarter, including the reduction of production days, an approximate 12% reduction in our labor force, the permanent closure of our Wautoma manufacturing facility planned for the fourth quarter and other cost reduction actions, the combination of which is expected to result in an estimated $0.6 million of restructuring expense in the fourth quarter and $1.0 to $3.0 million in annualized cost savings.”

“Given third quarter softness in customer demand, we have reduced our full year 2024 net sales and Adjusted EBITDA guidance by 7% and 13%, respectively, at the midpoint of the range,” stated Reddy. “Our guidance accounts for reduced order activity during the second half of 2024, partially offset by recent cost actions, operational excellence initiatives, and commercial wins. As end customer equipment financing rates decline over the coming quarters, we anticipate a corresponding normalization in customer order activity and broader-end market demand beginning in the first half of 2025.”

“While our third quarter performance was below expectations, we continue to advance initiatives to grow market share across our key vertical markets, while deploying operational rigor across the organization, consistent with the strategy outlined at our Investor Day,” continued Reddy. “These actions, together with realized synergies from our MSA acquisition, position us to achieve our 2026 financial targets of $750 million to $850 million of net sales and Adjusted EBITDA margins of between 14% and 16%.”

“As previously announced, we settled an ongoing legal dispute with one of our former customers, which resulted in MEC receiving a gross cash settlement of $25.5 million in the fourth quarter of this year,” said Reddy. “I am pleased with this outcome, and I am grateful for the hard work of our team in helping us resolve this matter in a way that benefits all stakeholders. We will utilize some of the proceeds of the settlement to pay down debt and a portion of the proceeds for share repurchases. Our strengthening financial position will allow us to further focus on the execution of our long-term strategy going forward."

“Our strong, consistent free cash flow generation continues to provide us with significant balance sheet optionality,” continued Reddy. “Exiting the third quarter, our net leverage stood at 1.6x, well within our targeted range of 1.5 to 2.0x, while total cash and availability on our credit facility was more than $135 million. We remain highly disciplined in our approach to capital allocation, prioritizing debt repayment, opportunistic share repurchases, and accretive strategic acquisitions with compelling synergy potential. Entering the next demand cycle, MEC remains focused on targeted organic and inorganic expansion within high-value, emerging growth markets that position us to create long-term value for both our shareholders and customers.”

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

Net sales decreased by 14.4% on a year-over-year basis in the third quarter 2024, due to a decrease in customer demand across all the Company’s key end-markets and customer de-stocking channel inventory, partly offset by incremental volumes associated with ongoing new project ramp-ups.

Manufacturing margin was $17.1 million in the third quarter of 2024, or 12.6% of net sales, as compared to $19.0 million, or 12.0% of net sales, in the prior year period. The year-over-year decrease in manufacturing margin was primarily attributable to lower customer demand, partially offset by the Company’s MBX initiatives, commercial pricing actions and self-help initiatives, most notably, a 12% reduction in its labor force. These efforts resulted in a 60 basis-point improvement in manufacturing margin as a percentage of net sales.

Other selling, general and administrative expenses were $7.6 million in the third quarter of 2024 as compared to $8.6 million for the same prior year period. The decrease in these expenses during the third quarter primarily reflects the reduction in legal costs associated with litigation with the former fitness customer and non-recuring costs associated with the acquisition of Mid-States Aluminum in the prior year period.

Interest expense was $2.7 million in the third quarter of 2024, as compared to $3.9 million in the prior year period, due to a decrease in borrowings and lower interest rates relative to the prior year period.

Net income for the third quarter of 2024 was $3.0 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, versus $1.4 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, in the prior-year period.

MEC reported Adjusted EBITDA of $17.1 million in the third quarter of 2024, or 12.6% of net sales, versus $19.2 million, or 12.1% of net sales, in the prior-year period. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA reflects the impact of reduced customer demand, while the increase in Adjusted EBITDA margin was driven by the Company’s efforts to reduce costs in response to customer demand.

Third quarter Adjusted net income was $4.5 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, versus $4.2 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, in the prior year period. Adjusted net income reflects a decrease in income from operations, which was partially offset by lower interest expense and a lower tax rate.

Free cash flow during the third quarter of 2024 was $15.1 million as compared to $16.1 million in the prior year period. The decrease in free cash flow was primarily attributable to a $1.6 million decrease in net cash provided by operating activities, partially offset by a $0.6 million reduction in capital expenditures.

Commercial Vehicles

MEC is a Tier 1 supplier to many of the country’s top original equipment manufacturers (OEM) of commercial vehicles providing exhaust & aftertreatment, engine components, cooling, fuel and structural systems for both heavy- and medium-duty commercial vehicles.

Net sales to the commercial vehicle market were $51.6 million in the third quarter of 2024, a decrease of 9.9% versus the prior-year period. The decrease in net sales to this end market during the quarter was attributable to an expected decline in customer demand. The successful execution of the Company’s organic growth strategy delivered above-market growth for this end-market as overall commercial vehicle demand fell by 11.1% year-over-year during the quarter.

Construction & Access

MEC manufactures components and sub-assemblies for OEMs within the construction & access market including fenders, hoods, supports, frames, platforms, frame structures, doors and tubular products such as exhaust & aftertreatment, engine components, cooling system components, handrails and full electro-mechanical assemblies.

Net sales to the construction & access market were $20.1 million in the third quarter of 2024, a decrease of 23.5% versus the prior-year period. The decrease in sales was primarily due to reduced customer demand, channel de-stocking and production cuts.

Powersports

MEC manufactures stampings and complex metal assemblies and coatings for OEMs within marine propulsion, all-terrain vehicles (ATV), multi-utility vehicles (MUV) and motorcycle markets. MEC’s powersports expertise includes axle housings, steering columns, swing arms, fenders, suspension components, ATV/MUV racks, cowl assemblies and vehicle frames.

Net sales to the powersports market were $21.6 million in the third quarter of 2024, a decrease of 14.1% versus the prior-year period. The decrease in sales was the result of softening consumer demand and customer channel de-stocking and production cuts.

Agriculture

MEC is an integral partner in the supply chain of the world’s leading agriculture OEMs manufacturing components and sub-assemblies including fenders, hoods, supports, frames, platforms, frame structures, doors, and tubular products such as exhaust, engine components, cooling system components, handrails and full electro-mechanical assemblies.

Net sales to the agriculture market were $10.4 million in the third quarter of 2024, a decrease of 31.1% versus the prior-year period. The decrease in sales reflects a reduction in demand across both large-ag and small-ag end markets as customers de-stock their channels and cut production.

Military

MEC holds the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) certification and produces components for the United States military. Products include exhaust, engine components, cooling, fuel, suspension, structural systems, and chemical agent resistant coating (CARC) painting capabilities.

Net sales to the military market were $7.0 million in the third quarter of 2024, a decrease of 36.4% versus the prior-year period. The decrease in net sales compared to the prior year was primarily attributable to the expected roll-off of certain aftermarket programs at the end of 2023.

Other

MEC also produces a wide variety of components and assemblies for customers in the power generation, industrial equipment & fixtures, consumer tools, mining, forestry, automotive, and medical markets.

Net sales to other end markets for the third quarter of 2024 were $24.7 million, an increase of 5.2% year-over-year.

STRATEGIC UPDATE

During the third quarter, MEC continued the successful execution of its MEC Business Excellence (MBX) initiative, a value-creation framework designed to drive sustained operational and commercial excellence across all aspects of the organization. MEC expects that this value creation framework will drive total net sales to between $750 to $850 million, Adjusted EBITDA margin expansion to between 14% to 16% and free cash flow to between $65 to $75 million by year-end 2026.

• Drive a High-Performance Culture. The Company is focused on effectuating cultural change across the organization by implementing performance-based metrics, lean daily management and other process-oriented strategies. Through these efforts, the Company is building a high-performance culture capable of driving improved performance, asset utilization and cost optimization. During the third quarter, the Company continued the implementation and alignment of processes and best practices across the enterprise to drive strategic execution. Additionally, the Company conducted an anonymous culture survey to gather employee feedback to assist with building an action plan to further ingrain the Company’s values and continue to improve the organization and culture.
• Drive Operational Excellence. The Company is focused on leveraging technologies and capabilities to increase productivity and reduce costs across the value chain. The Company intends to achieve this objective through the implementation of lean initiatives such as value stream mapping, sales, inventory, and operations planning (SIOP), and further optimization of its supply chain and procurement strategies. The Company’s operational excellence initiatives also focus on improving fixed cost absorption, labor productivity and inventory efficiency by leveraging its recent investments in advanced manufacturing capabilities and automation. As of the end of the third quarter of 2024, the Company has held 100 MBX kaizen events which contributed to improved margins and inventory optimization. The Company also realized a significant year-over-year improvement in working capital efficiencies due to improvements in days sales outstanding and inventory days-on-hand. Additionally, the Company recognized $1.5 million, net of inflation, in year-over-year pricing improvements as a result of its on-going commercial pricing initiatives.
• Drive Commercial Expansion. The Company is focused on driving commercial growth through an integrated, solutions-oriented approach that leverages its full suite of design, prototyping, and aftermarket services; an expansion of its fabrication capabilities beyond steel, with an emphasis on lightweight aluminum, plastics and composites; diversification within high-growth energy transition markets; further market penetration within existing end markets; and the implementation of value-based pricing. During the third quarter of 2024, MEC made substantial progress in growing its share of wallet with existing customers with multiple multi-year contract wins with major customers in the commercial vehicle, powersports and other end-markets. As of the end of the third quarter, the Company has booked approximately $80 million in new project wins, inclusive of replacement products for end-of-life programs with launches occurring over the next two years. The Company continues to evaluate opportunistic acquisition opportunities to further expand its differentiated suite of capabilities and diversify into high-growth end-markets, including data center and energy transition.
• Drive Human Resource Optimization. The Company remains focused on the recruitment and retention of skilled, experienced employees to support the growth of its business. This component of the MBX value creation framework is designed to provide competitive, performance-based incentives; develop high-potential candidates for internal development and advancement; ensure business continuity through multi-tiered succession planning; and to ensure a stable recruiting pipeline. During the third quarter, the Company implemented a new tuition reimbursement program.

BALANCE SHEET UPDATE

As of September 30, 2024, MEC had debt outstanding of $114.2 million and total cash and availability on its senior secured revolving credit facility of $250.0¹ million. During the third quarter of 2024, the Company repaid $11.0 million of debt incurred in conjunction with the MSA acquisition. At the end of the third quarter, the ratio of debt to trailing twelve-month Adjusted EBITDA was 1.6x.

______________________
1		This amount is reduced to approximately $139.0 million after taking into account the $111.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the credit facility as of September 30, 2024.

FINANCIAL GUIDANCE

Today, the Company reiterated its guidance for full year 2024 Free Cash Flow and updated its financial guidance for full year Net Sales and Adjusted EBITDA. All guidance is current as of the time provided and is subject to change.

		FY 2023			FY 2024 Forecast									Prior FY 2024 Forecast
(in Millions)		Actual			Low			Mid			High			Low			Mid			High
