NN, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2017 Results

Aug 2, 2017 at 4:20 PM EDT

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn., Aug. 2, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- NN, Inc., (NASDAQ: NNBR), a diversified industrial company, today reported its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2017. 

GAAP Results

Net sales for the second quarter of 2017 increased $11.6 million, or 5%, to $225.9 million, compared to $214.3 million for the second quarter of 2016.  Organic growth in the medical, aerospace and CAFE end markets accounted for the increase.

On a GAAP basis, income from operations for the second quarter of 2017 was $20.6 million, compared to $16.7 million for the same period in 2016. Net loss on a GAAP basis for second quarter of 2017 was $21.5 million, or ($0.78) per diluted share. This compares to a net income of $2.0 million, or $0.07 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2016. The loss was driven by cost related to the refinance and retirement of the senior notes during the quarter.

On a GAAP basis, income from operations for second quarter 2017 in the Autocam Precision Components Group was $10.7 million compared to $7.8 million for the same period in 2016.

On a GAAP basis, income from operations for second quarter 2017 in the Precision Bearing Components Group was $8.4 million compared to $6.5 million for the same period in 2016.

On a GAAP basis, income from operations for second quarter 2017 in the Precision Engineered Products Group was $10.6 million compared to $10.8 million for the same period in 2016.

Adjusted Results

Adjusted income from operations for the second quarter of 2017 was $28.1 million, compared to $28.7 million for the same period in 2016. Adjusted net income was $13.9 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, compared to $12.4 million, or $0.46 per diluted share for the same period in 2016.

Richard Holder, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Overall operating performance in the quarter was in line with our expectations and our plan for the quarter. Sales were slightly ahead of plan as we continue to see new business wins in our medical and aerospace end markets.  Adjusted earnings per share of $0.51 was also better than expected."

Business Group Results

Autocam Precision Components

Net sales for the second quarter of 2017 were $86.7 million, compared to $83.0 million in the second quarter of 2016, an increase of 4% or $3.7 million.  Growth related to our CAFE automotive business accounted for the increase. Adjusted income from operations for the quarter increased $0.9 million to $11.6 million, compared to $10.7 million in the second quarter of 2016. 

Mr. Holder commented, "The APC Group continues to perform well.  Our CAFE technology platform continues to drive growth and margins continue to expand as we reap the benefits of the NN Operating System."

Precision Bearing Components

Net sales for the second quarter of 2017 were $67.9 million, compared to $65.2 million in the second quarter of 2016, an increase of $2.7 million or 4%.  Adjusted income from operations for the second quarter was $8.7 million, compared to $8.2 million in the second quarter of 2016.

Mr. Holder commented, "The PBC Group continued to see improved performance in the second quarter, and sales and operating profit were better than the prior year, meeting our expectations for the quarter. Regarding the divestiture of PBC, we remain on track and we expect to close the transaction before year-end."

Precision Engineered Products

Net sales for the second quarter of 2017 were $71.3 million, compared to $66.1 million in the second quarter of 2016, an increase of $5.2 million, or 8%.  Volume increases related to our medical and aerospace end markets were the primary drivers.  Adjusted income from operations for the quarter was $15.6 million, compared to $16.3 million in 2016.

Mr. Holder commented, "We continue to experience new program wins in both our medical and aerospace end markets and are pleased with the top line performance of the PEP Group. As these new programs reach normal production levels in the second half and we gain the benefits of the NN Operating System, we expect margins to return to normal."

Mr. Holder concluded, "We are pleased with the performance of the business in the second quarter and first half of the year. Our strategy continues to pay dividends as we have now seen growth in all of our segments in three consecutive quarters."

The Company discloses in this presentation the non-GAAP financial measures of adjusted income from operations, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share.  Each of these non-GAAP financial measures provide supplementary information about the impacts of acquisition and integration related expenses, foreign-exchange impacts on inter-company loans reorganizational and impairment charges.  Over the past three years, we have completed six acquisitions, two of which were transformative for the Company. The costs we incurred in completing such acquisitions, including the amortization of intangibles and deferred financing costs, have been excluded from these measures because their size and inconsistent frequency are unrelated to our commercial performance during the period, and which we believe are not indicative of our ongoing operating costs. We exclude the impact of currency translation from these measures because foreign exchange rates are not under management's control and are subject to volatility. Other non-operating charges such as, the write-off of our interest rate swap, are excluded as the charges on not indicative of our ongoing operating cost. We believe the presentation of adjusted income from operations, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share provide useful information in assessing our underlying business trends and facilitates comparison of our long-term performance over given periods

The non-GAAP financial measures provided herein may not provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other companies in the Company's industry, as other companies may calculate such financial results differently. The Company's non-GAAP financial measures are not measurements of financial performance under GAAP, and should not be considered as alternatives to actual net income growth derived from income amounts presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company does not consider these non-GAAP financial measures to be a substitute for, or superior to, the information provided by GAAP financial results.

(a) Non-GAAP Adjusted income from operations, represents GAAP income from operations, adjusted to exclude the effects of restructuring and non-cash  impairment charges (related to plant closures and other charges incurred to implement our strategic goals, that do not necessarily represent a major strategic shift in operations), one-time charges related to acquisition and integration costs,  intangible amortization costs for fair value step-up in values related to acquisitions, and when applicable, our share of income from joint venture operations. We believe this presentation is commonly used by investors and professional research analysts in the valuation, comparison, rating and investment recommendations of companies in the industrial industry. We use this information for comparative purposes within the industry. Non-GAAP adjusted income from operations, is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as a measure of liquidity or as an alternative to GAAP income from operations.

(b) Non-GAAP adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share, represents GAAP net income, adjusted to exclude the tax-affected effects of restructuring and impairment charges (related to plant closures and other charges incurred to implement our strategic goals, that do not necessarily represent a major strategic shift in operations), one-time charges related to acquisition and integration costs,  amortization of intangibles costs for fair value step-up in values related to acquisitions and amortization of deferred financing costs, loss on extinguishment of debt and write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs and foreign exchange gain (loss) on inter-company loans. We believe this presentation is commonly used by investors and professional research analysts in the valuation, comparison, rating and investment recommendations of companies in the industrial industry. We use this information for comparative purposes within the industry. Non-GAAP adjusted net income and Non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share, is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as a measure of liquidity or as an alternative to GAAP net income.

(c) This line item reflects the aggregate tax effect of all nontax adjustments reflected in the table above. In addition, the footnotes above indicate the after-tax amount of each individual adjustment item.  NN, Inc. estimates the tax effect of the adjustment items identified in the reconciliation schedule above by applying NN, Inc's. overall estimated effective tax rate to the pretax amount, unless the nature of the item and/or the tax jurisdiction in which the item has been recorded requires application of a specific tax rate or tax treatment.
