The Manitowoc Company Reports Third-Quarter 2019 Financial Results

The Manitowoc Company, Inc. (NYSE: MTW), (the “Company” or “Manitowoc”) a leading global manufacturer of cranes and lifting solutions, today reported third-quarter adjusted EBITDA(1) of $42.8 million representing a $12.3 million or 40% improvement compared to the prior year. Third-quarter GAAP net income was $18.1 million or $0.51 per diluted share. Adjusted net income from continuing operations(1) was $19.2 million, or $0.54 per diluted share, in the third-quarter 2019 versus $7.3 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, in 2018.

Net sales in the third quarter were $448.0 million versus $450.1 million in 2018. On a currency adjusted basis, net sales for the quarter were $456.7 million, an increase of $6.6 million or 1.5% year-over-year.

Adjusted EBITDA margin increased 280 basis points year-over-year to 9.6% of net sales, primarily driven by continued improvements throughout the business.

“Manitowoc delivered solid third quarter results through continued operational improvements and we achieved our tenth consecutive quarter of year-over-year adjusted EBITDA margin expansion. Our application of lean principles of The Manitowoc Way continue to reflect favorably in our financial results. With this solid year-to-date performance, we have raised the midpoint of our 2019 full-year adjusted EBITDA guidance while also reflecting current market conditions in our revenue outlook,” commented Barry L. Pennypacker, President and Chief Executive Officer of The Manitowoc Company, Inc.

Pennypacker added, “Our results prove that we can effectively deliver on our commitments despite challenging market conditions. Through the transformation of Manitowoc over the past three years, we are better positioned to generate positive returns to our shareholders throughout the cycle while maintaining adequate liquidity.”

Footnote

(1)Adjusted net income from continuing operations, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating cash flow, adjusted free cash flows and adjusted diluted EPS are financial measures that are not in accordance with GAAP. For a reconciliation to the comparable GAAP numbers please see schedule of “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” at the end of this press release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Non-GAAP Items

Adjusted net income from continuing operations, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating cash flows and adjusted free cash flows are financial measures that are not in accordance with 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 of operations. 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.
