FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

NN, INC. REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2024 RESULTS

Continued profitability improvement and stronger pace of new business wins driven by strategic transformation plan

Company reaffirms full year 2024 outlook

CHARLOTTE, N.C., August 7, 2024 – NN, Inc. (NASDAQ: NNBR), a global diversified industrial company that engineers and manufactures high-precision components and assemblies, today reported its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.
Highlights
Strategic transformation program drove enhanced results, fourth consecutive quarter of improved year-over-year performance;
Second quarter net sales of $123.0 million, down 1.8% versus prior year, driven primarily by unfavorable foreign exchange impacts and rationalization of unprofitable business in Mobile Solutions;
Second quarter operating loss of $2.1 million, an improvement of 47.5% versus prior year;
Second quarter adjusted EBITDA of $13.4 million, an improvement of 27.6% versus prior year;
Secured new business awards of $34.3 million year-to-date; and
Subsequent to quarter-end, the company executed the sale of its lone non-core plastics plant and used $15.4 million of proceeds to pay down debt.

“NN delivered another quarter of improvement, driven by the execution of our strategic transformation plan which is yielding observable momentum across key focus areas of profitability enhancement, operational performance, and accelerated new business wins,” said Harold Bevis, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our committed efforts to strengthen profitability were evident in the quarter, as our $13.4 million of adjusted EBITDA reflected solid growth over the prior year, which is the fourth consecutive quarter of year-over-year improvement. On a trailing-twelve-month basis we have delivered adjusted EBITDA of $49.2 million, an improvement of 28.7% year-over-year. Our focus on improved operating performance and productivity has helped drive solid margin expansion, advancing our profitability and overcoming the strategic rationalization of volumes which impacted our top-line. ”

Mr. Bevis continued, “We continue to see strong momentum in our commercial efforts as we have won nearly $18 million of new business awards in the second quarter and $97 million over the last six quarters. We are on pace to deliver our 2024 targets for new business wins. The electrical, industrial, and medical markets remain unchanged, healthy, and growing. However, the global auto market is recalibrating the choices of powertrain and low-cost country production.”

Mr. Bevis concluded, “We are pleased with our overall performance for the quarter and remain highly confident in our ability to accelerate our transformation and pace of growth. We are delivering significantly improved plant level performance, which is strengthening our profitability and new business win platform. In the near term, we remain highly focused on optimizing our capital structure and lowering our cost of capital through a strategic refinancing which is currently underway. We are also focusing our commercial growth agenda on expanding our electrical business, across auto and non-auto end markets, as well as our high-value NN Medical business in low-cost geographies. I would like to recognize the efforts of our global team members in supporting our ongoing transformation, as we thank them for delivering results as our improved performance is generated through their hard work.”
Second Quarter GAAP Results
Net sales were $123.0 million, a decrease of 1.8% from the second quarter of 2023, which was primarily due to rationalized volume at plants undergoing transformations and unfavorable foreign exchange effects of 0.8% or $1.0 million, partially offset by the net impact of contractual pricing provisions.

Loss from operations was $2.1 million compared to a loss from operations of $4.0 million in the second quarter of 2023. The decrease in loss from operations was primarily due to improved operating performance within several facilities.
Income from operations for Power Solutions was $5.3 million compared to income from operations of $2.6 million for the same period in 2023. Loss from operations for Mobile Solutions was $1.6 million compared to loss from operations of $1.5 million for the same period in 2023.
Net loss was $2.2 million compared to net loss of $14.4 million for the same period in 2023. The decrease in net loss was primarily due to non-cash derivative mark-to-market gains recognized during the current quarter compared to losses recognized in the second quarter of 2023.
Second Quarter Adjusted Results
Adjusted income from operations for the second quarter of 2024 was $2.1 million compared to adjusted income from operations of $1.3 million for the same period in 2023. Adjusted EBITDA was $13.4 million, or 10.9% of sales, compared to $10.5 million, or 8.4% of sales, for the same period in 2023.
Adjusted net loss was $0.8 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net loss of $3.3 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the same period in 2023. Free cash flow was a use of cash of $1.3 million compared to a generation of cash of $3.0 million for the same period in 2023.
Power Solutions
Net sales for the second quarter of 2024 were $50.2 million compared to $48.1 million in the second quarter of 2023, an increase of 4.3%, or $2.1 million. The increase in sales was primarily due to higher precious metals pass-through pricing and inflation pricing, partially offset by lower volume during the current quarter.

Adjusted income from operations was $8.0 million compared to adjusted income from operations of $5.6 million in the second quarter of 2023. The increase in adjusted income from operations was primarily due to favorable production volumes and improved operating performance.
Mobile Solutions
Net sales for the second quarter of 2024 were $72.9 million compared to $77.2 million in the second quarter of 2023, a decrease of 5.6%, or $4.3 million. The decrease in sales was primarily due to lower volume at facilities undergoing transformations, contractual reduction in customer pricing, and unfavorable foreign exchange effects.

Adjusted loss from operations was $0.7 million compared to adjusted income from operations of $0.2 million in the second quarter of 2023. The decrease in adjusted income from operations was primarily due to lower production volumes.

Additionally, optimizing NN’s capital structure and the proactive strategic re-financing of our term loan remains a top priority for our team in the near-term and will be a key next step in our transformational strategy.”

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. The costs we incur in completing acquisitions, including the amortization of intangibles and deferred financing costs, and divestitures are excluded from these measures because their size and inconsistent frequency are unrelated to our commercial performance during the period, and 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.
(a) Non-GAAP adjusted income (loss) from operations represents GAAP income (loss) from operations, adjusted to exclude the effects of restructuring and integration expense; non-operational charges related to acquisition and transition expense, intangible amortization costs for fair value step-up in values related to acquisitions, non-cash impairment charges, 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 (loss) 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 (loss) from operations.
(b) Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA represents GAAP net income (loss), adjusted to include income taxes, interest expense, write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs, interest rate swap payments and change in fair value that was recognized in earnings, change in fair value of preferred stock derivatives and warrants, depreciation and amortization, charges related to acquisition and transition costs, non-cash stock compensation expense, foreign exchange gain (loss) on inter-company loans, restructuring and integration expense, costs related to divested businesses and litigation settlements, income from discontinued operations, and non-cash impairment charges, to the extent applicable. 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 EBITDA 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 (loss) from continuing operations.
(c) This line item reflects the aggregate tax effect of all non-tax adjustments reflected in the respective table. NN, Inc. estimates the tax effect of the adjustment items identified in the reconciliation schedule above by applying the applicable statutory rates by tax jurisdiction 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.
(d) Non-GAAP adjusted net income (loss) represents GAAP net income (loss) adjusted to exclude the tax-affected effects of charges related to acquisition and transition costs, foreign exchange gain (loss) on inter-company loans, restructuring and integration charges, amortization of intangibles costs for fair value step-up in values related to acquisitions and amortization of deferred financing costs, non-cash impairment charges, write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs, interest rate swap payments and change in fair value, change in fair value of preferred stock derivatives and warrants, costs related to divested businesses and litigation settlements, income (loss) from discontinued operations, and preferred stock cumulative dividends and deemed dividends. 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.

17 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 share, free cash flow and net debt. 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. The costs we incur in completing acquisitions, including the amortization of intangibles and deferred financing costs, and divestitures are excluded from these measures because their size and inconsistent frequency are unrelated to our commercial performance during the period, and 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 share, free cash flow and net debt provides useful information in assessing our underlying business trends and facilitates comparison of our long-term performance over given periods.

(a) Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA represents GAAP income (loss) from operations, adjusted to include income taxes, interest expense, write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs, interest rate swap payments and change in fair value, change in fair value of preferred stock derivatives and warrants, depreciation and amortization, charges related to acquisition and transition costs, non-cash stock compensation expense, foreign exchange gain (loss) on inter-company loans, restructuring and integration expense, costs related to divested businesses and litigation settlements, income from discontinued operations, and non-cash impairment charges, to the extent applicable.
