FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

NN, INC. REPORTS FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR SECOND QUARTER

Company makes continued progress despite challenging macroeconomic conditions

CHARLOTTE, N.C., August 4, 2022 – NN, Inc. (NASDAQ: NNBR), a global diversified industrial company that manufactures high-precision components and assemblies for a variety of markets including electric vehicles and the power grid, today reported its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022.

Warren Veltman, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “I am pleased with our team’s focus and commitment during the second quarter, and we made meaningful progress towards achieving our long-term strategic goals. While supply chain disruptions have persisted longer than anticipated and inflation has created additional cost and pricing pressures, we delivered a net sales increase of 1.8% versus the second quarter of 2021. We remain focused on the growth opportunities created by the transition to electric vehicles and the transformation of the electric grid, and we are determined to convert our growing pipeline of opportunities into new business wins as we leverage capabilities across our Power and Mobile Solutions businesses. As we evaluate the evolving state of the global economy, we are committed to improving our overall cost structure through facility and labor optimization initiatives to provide flexibility for any economic downturn and to improve overall margins, while continuing to exceed our customers’ expectations. We firmly believe our unique manufacturing capabilities and global platform will enable us to grow and create increased value for all our stakeholders.”

GAAP Results
Net sales were $125.4 million, an increase of 1.8% from the second quarter of 2021, primarily due to increased pricing to recover certain inflationary costs and underutilized fixed costs caused by lower-than-expected customer demand. These increases were partially offset by lower volume demand in Mobile Solutions, which was adversely impacted by the war in Ukraine, COVID-19 disruptions in China, continued supply chain disruptions, and unfavorable foreign exchange effects of $0.5 million.

Loss from operations was $4.5 million compared to loss from operations of $1.6 million in the second quarter of 2021. Loss from operations increased primarily due to inflationary costs and higher selling, general and administrative expenses due primarily to $1.8 million of increased stock compensation expense, and $0.4 million increase in legal expenses associated with a recently settled shareholder litigation, partially offset by lower severance and retention costs compared to the prior year.

Income from operations for the Power Solutions segment was $1.4 million compared to $2.9 million for the same period in 2021. Income from operations for Mobile Solutions was $1.7 million compared to $2.5 million for the same period in 2021.
Net loss was $8.6 million compared to a net loss of $5.4 million for the same period in 2021. The increase in net loss was primarily driven by higher input costs and increased selling, general, and administrative expenses. Net loss was also affected by reduced income from the Company’s China Joint Venture whose operations were negatively impacted during the quarter by an increase in COVID-19 cases in the region where the operations are located, and culminating in the temporary closure of that facility in June.

Adjusted Results
Adjusted income from operations for the second quarter of 2022 was $0.1 million compared to adjusted income from operations of $3.2 million for the same period in 2021. Adjusted EBITDA was $10.9 million, or 8.7% of sales, compared to $13.4 million, or 10.9% of sales, for the same period in 2021. Adjusted net loss was $3.6 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net loss of $0.2 million, or $0.00 per diluted share, for the same period in 2021.
Free cash flow was a use of cash of $2.8 million compared to a use of cash of $7.5 million for the same period in 2021. The improvement in free cash flow was primarily driven by a tax payment of $9.2 million related to the sale of Life Sciences that was made in the prior year.
Power Solutions
Net sales for the second quarter of 2022 were $52.0 million compared to $49.3 million in the second quarter of 2021, an increase of 5.6% or $2.8 million. The increase in sales was the result of increased electric component sales, which were up 15.6% year over year, primarily due to higher customer pricing to recover inflationary costs and improved volume, offset by lower sales to automotive and aerospace and defense customers. Adjusted income from operations was $4.6 million compared to $5.7 million in the second quarter of 2021. The decrease in adjusted income from operations was primarily due to inflationary costs which were not fully recovered from pricing, variable cost inefficiencies associated with supply chain disruptions, and uneven customer ordering patterns.
Mobile Solutions
Net sales for the second quarter of 2022 were $73.4 million compared to $73.9 million in the second quarter of 2021, a decrease of 0.7% or $0.5 million. The decrease in sales was primarily due to lower European demand, which was impacted by the war in Ukraine, pandemic interruptions in China, and unfavorable foreign exchange effects of $0.5 million. Adjusted income from operations was $2.6 million compared to $3.3 million of adjusted income from operations in the second quarter of 2021. The decrease was due to lower volume as well as increased material and other inflationary costs which were not fully recovered from pricing, variable cost inefficiencies associated with supply chain disruptions, and uneven customer ordering patterns.


2022 Outlook

Warren Veltman commented, “While our results for the second quarter did not meet our expectations, our team managed through a number of difficult macroeconomic challenges including inflationary conditions, supply chain disruptions and labor shortages that continue to impact our business in 2022. As we look to the remainder of the year and to address these challenges, we have taken actions to improve our cost structure, and we remain proactive in our approach to address evolving economic, market and supply chain conditions as they arise. Given this uncertain backdrop, we have adjusted our full-year outlook as follows:”

Revenue in the range of $510 million to $525 million
Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $51 million to $57 million
Free cash flow in the range of breakeven to $5 million
Free cash flow outlook does not include CARES Act tax refund of ~$10 million due to uncertain timing
2





Additionally, we have received and evaluated financial information from the acquirer of the Life Sciences business that was sold in October 2020 and concluded a contingent payment will not be made as the minimum threshold for an earn out will not be met.



Conference Call
NN will discuss its results during its quarterly investor conference call on August 5, 2022, at 9:00 a.m. ET. The call and supplemental presentation may be accessed via NN's website, www.nninc.com.

The Company discloses in this presentation the non-GAAP financial measures of adjusted income (loss) from operations, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) per diluted common share, and free cash flow. Each of these non-GAAP financial measures provides supplementary information about the impacts of acquisition, divestiture and integration related expenses, foreign-exchange impacts on inter-company loans, reorganizational and impairment charges. Over the past five years, we have completed several acquisitions, one of which was transformative for the Company, and sold two of our businesses. The costs we incurred in completing such acquisitions, including the amortization of intangibles and deferred financing costs, and these divestitures 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 are excluded as the charges are not indicative of our ongoing operating cost. We believe the presentation of adjusted income (loss) from operations, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) per diluted common share, and free cash flow provides 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 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.

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.
