Mayville Engineering Company (NYSE: MEC) (the “Company” or “MEC”), a leading U.S.-based value added manufacturing partner that provides a broad range of prototyping and tooling, production fabrication, coating, assembly and aftermarket services, today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020.
Second Quarter Highlights:
- Produced net sales of $62.6 million
- Recorded a net loss of $7.0 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $2.3 million
- Amended credit agreement to provide increased liquidity and flexibility
- Total net debt of $76.7 million and a debt leverage ratio of 2.4x
- Improved performance profile through facility and process optimization
“Our top-line results reflect the significant disruption we encountered during the quarter associated primarily with customer shutdowns, pandemic related demand changes, and continued destocking,” stated Robert D. Kamphuis, Chairman, President and CEO. “While end markets have started to stabilize, we have improved our near and long term cost structure through facility and process optimization and are actively working with our customers to grow our partnerships while pursuing incremental revenues through a wide range of new customer and market opportunities.”
Second Quarter 2020 Results
Net sales were $62.6 million for the second quarter of 2020 as compared to $145.1 million for the same prior year period. The 57% decline is due to manufacturing volume reductions driven by the COVID-19 pandemic and the continuation of customer destocking activities which were most apparent in the Commercial Vehicle, Agriculture and Construction & Access Equipment end markets served. Despite MEC and its customer base carrying the essential business designation, customer production facilities shut down 5 – 6 weeks on average during the quarter due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, MEC temporarily halted production at some of its facilities. Customer manufacturing facilities gradually reopened toward the end of the quarter, but MEC production volumes remained below pre-pandemic levels as of quarter end. Despite the decline in volumes for the second quarter, all existing customer relationships and manufacturing programs remain intact.
Manufacturing margins marked a loss of $1.2 million for the second quarter of 2020, as compared to a $20.5 million of income for the same prior year period. The decline was primarily driven by the aforementioned lower sales volumes resulting in significant under-absorbed overhead costs, plus one-time costs associated with the consolidation of the Greenwood, SC facility.
Profit sharing, bonuses, and deferred compensation expenses were $1.2 million for the second quarter of 2020, as compared to $22.8 million for the same prior year period which included one-time IPO charges of $20.1 million related to deferred compensation and the long-term incentive plan. Excluding the one-time IPO-related charges, these expenses decreased $1.5 million due to the eliminations of executive bonus and discretionary gain sharing accruals driven by the adverse impacts of COVID-19.
Other selling, general and administrative expenses were $4.6 million for the second quarter of 2020 as compared to $7.5 million for the same prior year period, which includes $2.6 million of one-time IPO and Defiance Metal Products (DMP) acquisition related expenses. Excluding the one-time items, these expenses decreased $0.3 million driven by synergies achieved through the integration of DMP, lower travel expenses in the current period due to COVID-19 restrictions, and other cost saving initiatives.
Interest expense was $0.6 million for the second quarter of 2020, as compared to $2.0 million for the same prior year period. The decrease is due to the company maintaining lower debt levels as compared to 2019 and securing a lower interest rate as a result of the recent Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.
Income tax benefit was $2.5 million for the second quarter of 2020 due to the $9.5 million pretax loss incurred, increasing our federal net operating loss carryforward to approximately $23.6 million. Future pre-tax income will be offset against our federal net operating loss carryforward until fully utilized.
Greenwood, SC Facility Consolidation
The Company’s investments in technology and automation have resulted in a smaller footprint requirement to maintain current manufacturing capacity. During the second quarter, MEC implemented the closure and consolidation of its Greenwood, SC manufacturing facility. All components previously manufactured at the facility will now be produced at five other MEC manufacturing facilities, maintaining overall capacity with a smaller footprint, lower overhead costs and slightly lower working capital requirements. Based on lower manufacturing volumes and customer shutdowns, the second quarter was the optimal timeframe to implement this change. The Company incurred $1.8 million of costs associated with the consolidation during the quarter included in cost of sales, which negatively impact manufacturing margins. The Company expects to incur an additional $0.7 million of costs during the third quarter to finalize the shift in production to other facilities.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
As previously announced, the Company amended its credit agreement during the quarter, increasing its maximum leverage ratio from 3.25 to 4.25 through the fourth quarter of 2020, adjusting quarterly thereafter until returning to the original 3.25 threshold during the fourth quarter of 2021. The debt capacity and maturity date of the credit facility were unaffected by the amendment. As of June 30, 2020, total net debt was $76.7 million resulting in a leverage ratio of 2.4x as compared to a covenant maximum of 4.25x.
Capital expenditures were $3.7 million during the first half of 2020, as compared to $16.6 million for the same prior year period as the Company completes the investment cycle initiated in 2019 and focuses on leveraging previous investments. Overall, capital expenditures for 2020 are expected to be in the range of $10 to $13 million.
“We are effectively controlling and improving our cost structure and managing through the impacts of the pandemic, ending the second quarter in a strong financial position, which we expect to maintain during 2020,” noted Todd M. Butz, CFO. “The added level of insurance against future macroeconomic events provided by the amendment to our credit facility allows us to remain focused on delivering for our customers.”
Outlook
Based on the ongoing uncertainty of the pandemic and related economic and social impact, and consistent with most of our customers, the Company is not in a position to provide a financial outlook at this time.
Kamphuis explained, “As it stands today, we believe the second quarter will be the low point for the year based on the extended shutdowns and continued de-stocking from many customers. We expect to see a stabilization and then gradual improvement in business conditions during the second half of the year, assuming we don’t see additional extended shutdowns at our customers facilities, and that the economic situation does not deteriorate significantly.”
“We remain focused on the factors within our control, effectively improving our performance profile and providing exceptional value for our customers. Our strong financial standing and market leading position means we are well placed to manage through the pandemic and related economic disruption. We are exploring a wide range of opportunities with both new and existing customers, and see potential for project expansion, takeover business and new prospects in a variety of end markets,” Kamphuis added.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains financial information calculated in a manner other than in accordance with U.S generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).
The non-GAAP measures used in this press release are EBITDA, EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin.
EBITDA represents net income before interest expense, provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation, and amortization. EBITDA Margin represents EBITDA as a percentage of net sales for each period. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA before transaction fees incurred in connection with the DMP acquisition and our initial public offering, the loss on debt extinguishment relating to our December 2018 credit agreement, non-cash purchase accounting charges including costs recognized on the step-up of acquired inventory and contingent consideration fair value adjustments, one-time increases in deferred compensation and long term incentive plan expenses related to the initial public offering, stock-based compensation and restructuring expenses related to the closure of the Greenwood facility. Adjusted EBITDA Margin represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales for each period. These metrics are supplemental measures of our operating performance that are neither required by, nor presented in accordance with, GAAP. These measures should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of our operating performance. We present Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin as management uses these measures as key performance indicators, and we believe they are measures frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other parties to evaluate companies in our industry. These measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.
Our calculation of EBITDA, EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBIDTA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin may not be comparable to the similarly named measures reported by other companies. Potential differences between our measures of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA compared to other similar companies’ measures of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may include differences in capital structure and tax positions.
Please reference our reconciliation of net income, the most directly comparable measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, and the calculation of EBITDA Margin and Adjusted EBITDA Margin included in this press release.
