Insights

The Shyft Group's Q2 2024 results reveal a mixed financial picture with some concerning trends but also positive developments. Sales declined 14.4% year-over-year to $192.8 million, while net income fell to $2.2 million ($0.06 per share) from $4.7 million ($0.13 per share) in Q2 2023. Adjusted EBITDA margin contracted slightly to 6.5% from 7.0%.

The 30.5% decrease in backlog to $354.4 million is particularly worrying, as it may indicate softening demand. However, the company's strategic moves, such as the acquisition of Independent Truck Upfitters (ITU) and progress in its Blue Arc EV program, show proactive steps towards future growth.

The ITU acquisition, valued at $46 million plus potential earnouts, is expected to be accretive to EPS by 2025 and achieve a 15%+ ROIC by year 3. This move aligns with Shyft's growth strategy in the Specialty Vehicles segment and could provide valuable synergies.

The updated 2024 outlook, with adjusted EBITDA now projected at $45 to $50 million, suggests some resilience despite market challenges. However, the wide range in projected net income ($2.6 to $6.9 million) and EPS ($0.07 to $0.20) indicates significant uncertainty.

Investors should closely monitor the progress of the Blue Arc EV program, as its success could be a game-changer for Shyft's future performance.

The Shyft Group's Q2 results and strategic moves reflect broader trends in the specialty vehicle market. The 14.4% year-over-year sales decline and reduced backlog suggest a softening demand environment, possibly due to economic uncertainties affecting fleet purchases.

However, the company's focus on electric vehicles (EVs) through its Blue Arc program aligns with the growing shift towards sustainable transportation. The order for 150 Blue Arc EV Trucks from FedEx is a significant vote of confidence in Shyft's EV capabilities and could pave the way for more commercial partnerships.

The acquisition of Independent Truck Upfitters (ITU) is a strategic move to expand Shyft's service body offerings and upfit capabilities. This diversification could help buffer against market fluctuations and position the company for growth as the commercial vehicle market evolves.

The company's investment in EV development ($20 to $25 million in 2024) demonstrates a commitment to future-proofing its business. However, this spending will impact near-term profitability, as reflected in the modest earnings projections for 2024.

Overall, while facing short-term headwinds, Shyft appears to be positioning itself for long-term growth in a changing market landscape. The success of its EV initiatives and the integration of ITU will be important factors to watch in the coming years.

  • Delivered sales of $193 million, EPS of $0.06 and adjusted EPS of $0.16
  • Received order for 150 Blue Arc™ EV Trucks from FedEx; Blue Arc Class 4 vehicle production remains on track for 2024
  • Acquired Independent Truck Upfitters (ITU) to further accelerate Specialty Vehicles growth
  • Increased full year 2024 adjusted EBITDA midpoint with updated outlook now at $45 to $50 million 

NOVI, Mich., July 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Shyft Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: SHYF) ("Shyft" or the "Company"), the North American leader in specialty vehicle manufacturing, assembly and upfit for the commercial, retail and service specialty vehicle markets, today reported operating results for the second quarter ending June 30, 2024.

Second Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights                                                                         

For the second quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter of 2023: 

  • Sales of $192.8 million, a decrease of $32.3 million, or 14.4%, from $225.1 million
  • Net income of $2.2 million, or $0.06 per share, compared to $4.7 million, or $0.13 per share
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $12.5 million, or 6.5% of sales, a decrease of $3.4 million, from $15.9 million, or 7.0% of sales; Results include $5.9 million of EV program related costs versus $7.4 million in the prior year
  • Adjusted net income of $5.3 million, or $0.16 per share, compared to $8.7 million, or $0.25 per share in the second quarter of 2023
  • Consolidated backlog1 of $354.4 million as of June 30, 2024, down $155.8 million, or 30.5%, compared to $510.2 million as of June 30, 2023.

"We continued to drive our Shyft operating strategy and saw progress in the quarter despite ongoing market softness.  The SV team delivered another strong financial quarter, FVS generated sequential margin improvement, and Blue Arc achieved milestones that position us for vehicle delivery later this year," said John Dunn, President and CEO. 

M&A Transaction Update
Acquired Independent Truck Upfitters (ITU), a Midwest-based provider of vocational service body upfit for commercial fleets and government service vehicles on July 24, 2024. ITU sales were approximately $55 million in 2023 with three locations in Iowa, Michigan, and Missouri.

The ITU acquisition aligns with our Specialty Vehicles segment growth strategy by expanding our service body product offerings and upfit capabilities. This transaction provides unique synergies and cross-selling opportunities with current products, adds chassis pools, and increases ship-thru capability to support future growth.

Relevant transaction details include:

  • Initial cash consideration of $46 million, subject to customary adjustments, with an $8 million earnout subject to annual business performance over the next two years
  • Expected EBITDA multiple less than 6.0x adjusted for tax benefits and synergies; Acquisition is expected to be accretive to EPS in 2025
  • Forecasted to deliver ROIC greater than 15% by Year 3 of the transaction
  • Funded with cash on hand and borrowings under our existing credit facility; Expected net leverage ratio of approximately 2.75x in the third quarter of 2024 and decreasing by year end 2024.

2024 Financial Outlook

"Our team remains focused on delivering our financial commitments for the year while we position the company for future growth. Our balance sheet remains solid, provides flexibility, and gives us the confidence to invest in growth initiatives," said Jon Douyard, Chief Financial Officer.

Full-year 2024 outlook, notwithstanding further changes in the operating environment, is as follows:

  • Sales to be in the range of $800 million to $850 million; Assumes no Blue Arc EV revenue
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $45 to $50 million, including EV spending of $20 to $25 million
  • Net income of $2.6 to $6.9 million, with an income tax rate of approximately 20%
  • Earnings per share of $0.07 to $0.20
  • Adjusted earnings per share of $0.35 to $0.50
  • Capital expenditures of approximately $20 to $25 million
  • Free cash flow of $25 to $35 million

Dunn concluded, "Our recently announced strategic actions, including organizational streamlining and the ITU acquisition, have positioned us well for sustainable growth. In addition, we are actively preparing for Blue Arc production in late 2024 and building the commercial pipeline across the business. We believe these catalysts will enable us to deliver meaningful financial improvement in 2025."

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release presents Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share, and free cash flow, each of which is a non-GAAP financial measure.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted to eliminate the impact of restructuring charges, acquisition related expenses and adjustments, non-cash stock-based compensation expenses, and other gains and losses not reflective of our ongoing operations.

We present the non-GAAP measure Adjusted EBITDA because we consider it to be an important supplemental measure of our performance. The presentation of Adjusted EBITDA enables investors to better understand our operations by removing items that we believe are not representative of our continuing operations and may distort our longer-term operating trends. We believe this measure to be useful to improve the comparability of our results from period to period and with our competitors, as well as to show ongoing results from operations distinct from items that are infrequent or not indicative of our continuing operating performance. We believe that presenting this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors because it permits investors to view performance using the same tools that management uses to budget, make operating and strategic decisions, and evaluate our historical performance.

Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the performance of and allocate resources to our segments. Adjusted EBITDA is also used, along with other financial and non-financial measures, for purposes of determining annual incentive compensation for our management team and long-term incentive compensation for certain members of our management team.

We define free cash flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less purchases of property, plant and equipment and add proceeds from sale of property, plant and equipment. We believe this measure of free cash flow provides management and investors further useful information on cash generation or use in our operations.

We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP measures, when considered together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations to that measure, provides investors with additional understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business than could be obtained in the absence of this disclosure.
