Manitowoc delivers strong first quarter; Adjusted EBITDA
improves
73% year-over-year; Raises full-year guidance
MILWAUKEE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
The Manitowoc Company, Inc. (NYSE: MTW), (the “Company” or “Manitowoc”)
a leading global manufacturer of cranes and lifting solutions, today
reported first-quarter Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $29.6 million
compared to $17.1 million last year, representing a $12.5 million or 73%
improvement. First-quarter GAAP net loss was $26.7 million or $0.75 per
diluted share, which included a $25.0 million charge, or $0.70 per
diluted share impact, associated with the Company’s refinancing of its
credit facilities. Adjusted net income (loss)(1) was $2.7
million, or $0.08 per diluted share, in the first-quarter 2019 versus
$(4.1) million, or $(0.12) per diluted share, in 2018.
Net sales in the first quarter were $418.0 million versus $386.1 million
in 2018; a year-over-year increase of 8.3%. The increase was
attributable to higher crane shipments in the Americas and EURAF
regions, coupled with favorable price realization, partly offset by
unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
Adjusted EBITDA margin increased 264 basis points year-over-year to 7.1%
of net sales, in spite of an unfavorable 31 basis point foreign currency
translation impact in the quarter. Organic growth in the North American
market, favorable mix, global price initiatives and cost reductions
realized through restructuring initiatives were the key drivers in the
year-over-year improvement.
“Manitowoc once again delivered a strong start to the year, delivering
our eighth straight quarter of year-over-year adjusted EBITDA margin
increase. The operating principles of The Manitowoc Way continue to
produce improving financial results as we execute our strategy for
profitable growth by delivering innovation and velocity in everything we
do,” commented Barry L. Pennypacker, President and Chief Executive
Officer of The Manitowoc Company, Inc. “In March, we successfully
refinanced our capital structure to further strengthen our balance
sheet. This action increases liquidity, reduces interest expense and
allows us more flexibility to deploy our capital in order to increase
shareholder value.”
Pennypacker continued, “Market conditions remain very competitive. We
continue to focus on providing innovative products and services for
customers as evidenced by positive customer reception to our six new
cranes introduced at the bauma trade show in April. As a result of our
first-quarter performance and our proven ability to execute on our
strategy, we are raising our full-year guidance.”

Manitowoc updates its full-year 2019 financial guidance as follows:
-
Revenue – approximately $1.900 to $1.975 billion;
-
Adjusted EBITDA - approximately $130 to $150 million;

Footnote
(1) Non-GAAP adjusted net income (loss), non-GAAP adjusted
EBITDA (“adjusted EBITDA”), non-GAAP adjusted operating cash flow, and
non-GAAP adjusted DEPS 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. 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.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Non-GAAP Items
Non-GAAP adjusted net income (loss) and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA 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.
