BRIDGEVIEW, IL / ACCESSWIRE / March 11, 2021 / Manitex International, Inc. (NASDAQ:MNTX), a leading international provider of cranes and specialized industrial equipment, today announced fourth quarter and full year 2020 results. Net sales from continuing operations for the fourth quarter were $45.2 million, compared to $53.1 million in the prior year's fourth quarter, and net loss from continuing operations was $(1.8 million), or $(0.09) per share, compared to net loss from continuing operations of $(0.1 million) or $(0.01) per share, in the fourth quarter of 2019. Adjusted net loss* from continuing operations in the fourth quarter of 2020 was $(1.3 million), or $(0.07) per share, compared to adjusted net income of $1.3 million, or $0.06 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2019.

- Net sales increased 24% to $45.2 million compared to $36.5 million in the third quarter of 2020
- Gross profit of $8.4 million, or 18.7% of sales was approximately 25% ahead of $6.7 million gross profit, or 18.3% of sales in the third quarter of 2020
- Realized 100 basis point improvement in SG&A as a percent of sales compared to the third quarter of 2020
- Adjusted EBITDA* of $1.5 million, or 3.3% of sales, represents an increase of $0.5 million from $1.0 million, or 2.6% of sales in the third quarter of 2020
- $82.2 million backlog as of January 31, 2021, which represents the highest level in over three years, represents order strength throughout the portfolio
- Repaid all $15.5 million in convertible notes and $2 million in European term debt to close the year with $29.9 million in net debt as of 12/31/2020 compared to $41.2 million a year ago

Steve Filipov, CEO of Manitex International commented, "Manitex posted fourth quarter results that reflect good execution throughout the organization, with continued focus on pursuing our top growth opportunities and managing our resources efficiently, despite the challenges of COVID-19. On top of the higher quarterly revenues and Adjusted EBITDA compared to the third quarter, strong bookings in the second half of 2020 resulted in a backlog level not seen in years which we believe will result in higher revenues and operating income throughout the year, and we're expecting to meet the increased level of production that will be needed to meet the higher demand."
"The improved pace of bookings for Manitex products has been led by particular strength in our global crane and aerials businesses, with our European PM business leading our expansion with Manitex straight mast crane also showing signs of recovery, with an acceleration in orders coming out of 2020 and into 2021. And Valla electric cranes, with a $5 million backlog, is at its highest level since joining Manitex International. Our balance sheet is in the best shape it's been in several years, as we paid down our remaining $15.5 million in convertible note obligations which we announced in December, and closed the year with net debt of $30 million, its lowest level in nearly a decade."
"Given the uptick in orders and backlog, we expect our revenues to trend somewhat higher in the first quarter of 2021, with a recovery in margins and the bottom line progressively throughout the year, subject to continued vigilance with respect to COVID-19 to maintain the maximum level of safety and health for our employees, customers, and partners. We expect improved financial performance to be brought about by expected higher volumes, lower interest expenses and our continued benefit from cost reductions implemented during the past 12 months," concluded Mr. Filipov.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Items
In this press release, we refer to various non-GAAP (U.S. generally accepted accounting principles) financial measures which management uses to evaluate operating performance, to establish internal budgets and targets, and to compare the Company's financial performance against such budgets and targets. These non-GAAP measures, as defined by the Company, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures being disclosed by other companies. While adjusted financial measures are not intended to replace any presentation included in our consolidated financial statements under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and should not be considered an alternative to operating performance or an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity, we believe these measures are useful to investors in assessing our operating results, capital expenditure and working capital requirements and the ongoing performance of its underlying businesses. A reconciliation of Adjusted GAAP financial measures for the three and twelve month periods ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 is included with this press release below and with the Company's related Form 8-K. Third quarter 2020 comparisons noted above are reconciled in our September 30, 2020 filings. Results of operations reflect continuing operations. All per share amounts are on a fully diluted basis. The amounts described below are unaudited, are reported in thousands of U.S. dollars, and are as of, or for the three and twelve month periods ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, unless otherwise indicated
