Insights

The reported fourth-quarter and full-year financial results for The Manitowoc Company provide significant insights into the company's operational and financial health. The decrease in fourth-quarter net sales by 4.2% year-over-year, alongside a 29.1% reduction in adjusted EBITDA, indicates a contraction in the company's profitability during this period. This could be attributed to a variety of factors, including market demand fluctuations, increased competition, or operational inefficiencies.

However, the full-year results paint a more positive picture with a 9.6% increase in net sales and a 22.5% increase in adjusted EBITDA. This suggests that despite the quarterly downturn, the company has experienced overall growth throughout the year. The mention of a strong backlog entering 2024 could signal a healthy pipeline of future revenue, which is a critical factor for investor confidence. As for the diluted net income per share, the reported figures show an improvement from the prior year, which may be favorably viewed by the market.

The Manitowoc Company's performance within the context of the global crane market is of particular interest. The company's CRANES+50 strategy and the growth in non-new machine sales suggest a focus on diversification and aftermarket services, which could be a strategic move to mitigate the impact of volatile sales in new equipment. The mention of a challenging European tower crane market reflects broader economic and industry-specific challenges that could affect the company's operations in that region.

Investors should consider the potential impact of foreign currency exchange rates on the company's financials, as indicated by the reported favorable impacts on net sales and backlog. Currency fluctuations can both benefit and harm international business operations and this factor must be closely monitored, especially in the context of the global economic uncertainties that may persist into 2024.

From an economic perspective, the financials of The Manitowoc Company provide an interesting case study on the effects of macroeconomic factors on the heavy machinery industry. The decreased cash flows in the fourth quarter, compared to the prior year, could be indicative of tighter cash management or potential challenges in working capital optimization. The company's guidance for 2024, including projections for net sales, adjusted EBITDA and capital expenditures, suggests cautious optimism and a strategic investment in rental fleet growth, which may point to expectations of a rising demand for rental equipment as opposed to outright purchases.

Moreover, the anticipated global demand for mobile cranes reflects the company's reliance on the broader economic environment, including construction activity and infrastructure spending, which are often correlated with economic growth. The company's performance and outlook should be analyzed in the context of these external economic drivers.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted net income, Adjusted DEPS, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income, Adjusted ROIC, and free cash flows are financial measures that are not in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Manitowoc believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide important supplemental information to both management and investors regarding financial and business trends used in assessing its results. Manitowoc believes excluding specified items provides a more meaningful comparison to the corresponding reporting periods and internal budgets and forecasts, assists investors in performing analysis that is consistent with financial models developed by investors and research analysts, provides management with a more relevant measure of operating performance, and is more useful in assessing management performance.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted DEPS

The Company defines adjusted net income as net income (loss) plus the addback or subtraction of restructuring and certain other non-recurring items. Adjusted DEPS is defined as adjusted net income divided by diluted weighted average shares outstanding. Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding are adjusted for the effect of dilutive stock awards when there is net income on an adjusted basis, as applicable. The reconciliation of net income (loss) and diluted net income (loss) per share to adjusted net income and Adjusted DEPS for the three months ended and year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 are summarized as follows. All dollar amounts are in millions, except per share data and share amounts.

Adjusted ROIC

The Company defines Adjusted ROIC as adjusted net operating profit after tax (“Adjusted NOPAT”) for the trailing twelve-months ended divided by the five-quarter average of invested capital. Adjusted NOPAT is calculated for each quarter by taking operating income (loss) plus the addback of amortization of intangible assets and the addback or subtraction of restructuring expenses, certain other non-recurring items – net, and income taxes, which is determined using a 15% tax rate. Invested capital is defined as net total assets less cash and cash equivalents and income tax assets - net plus short-term and long-term debt. Income taxes are defined as income tax payables/receivables, net deferred tax assets/liabilities, and uncertain tax positions.

The Company’s Adjusted ROIC for the year ended December 31, 2023 was 11.2%. Below is the calculation of Adjusted ROIC for the year ended December 31, 2023.
