CHARLOTTE, N.C., May 9, 2019 /PRNewswire/ –NN, Inc., (NASDAQ: NNBR), a diversified industrial company, today reported its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2019.
GAAP Results
First Quarter
Net sales for the first quarter of 2019 increased $44.1 million, or 26.1%, to $213.3 million, compared to $169.1 million for the first quarter of 2018. Growth was driven by $55.2 million from acquisitions, partially offset by lower organic volume of $8.0 million and unfavorable foreign currency impacts of $2.8 million.
On a GAAP basis, income from operations for the first quarter of 2019 was $0.6 million, compared to income from operations of $3.7 million for the same period in 2018. In the first quarter of 2019, income from operations included an increase in selling, general and administrative expense of $5.9 million, compared to the first quarter of 2018, primarily due to the 2018 business acquisitions which collectively contributed $5.0 million to selling, general and administrative expense. These increases were partially offset by lower costs for professional services and a reduction in acquisition related costs as there was no business acquisition activity during the first quarter of 2019.
Net loss on a GAAP basis for first quarter of 2019 was $18.6 million, compared to net loss on a GAAP basis of $6.0 million in the first quarter of 2018. The first quarter of 2019 net loss included a discrete tax charge of $6.0 million related to final tax regulations published by the Department of the Treasury and Internal Revenue Service. In addition, the first quarter of 2019 included $2.7 million in debt extinguishment costs.
On a GAAP basis, income from operations for first quarter 2019 in the Life Sciences segment was $3.8 million, compared to $4.2 million for the same period in 2018.
On a GAAP basis, income from operations for first quarter 2019 in the Mobile Solutions segment was $4.1 million, compared to income from operations of $9.8 million for the same period in 2018.
On a GAAP basis, income from operations for first quarter 2019 in the Power Solutions segment was $3.8 million, compared to income from operations of $5.2 million for the same period in 2018.
AdjustedResults
First Quarter
Adjusted income from operations for the first quarter of 2019 was $23.1 million, compared to $17.8 million for the same period in 2018. Adjusted net income was $8.5 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, compared to $8.7 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, for the same period in 2018. Adjusted income from operations growth was primarily driven by acquisitions, partially offset by lower organic volume and unfavorable foreign currency impacts. Additionally, first quarter 2019 earnings per share was impacted by the issuance of 14.4 million shares in the third quarter of 2018.
Richard Holder, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Overall we are very pleased with our performance during the first quarter, bolstered by continued out-performance in our Life Sciences group and a solid operating performance from the Mobile Solutions and Power Solutions groups.”
Life Sciences
Net sales for the first quarter of 2019 were $86.0 million, compared to $31.2 million in the first quarter of 2018, an increase of 175.6% or $54.8 million. Adjusted income from operations for the quarter was $17.2 million, compared to $6.9 million in 2018.
Mr. Holder commented, “Life Sciences continues to outperform the market and our integration of Paragon remains on track. As the integration progresses, we continue to see the expected improvement of the group’s operating performance.”
Mobile Solutions
Net sales for the first quarter of 2019 were $78.1 million, compared to $89.8 million in the first quarter of 2018, a decrease of 13.0% or $11.7 million. Adjusted income from operations for the quarter decreased $4.5 million to $6.4 million, compared to $11.0 million in the first quarter of 2018. Continued headwinds in the global automotive market impacted sales and adjusted operating income during the quarter.
Mr. Holder commented, “The Mobile Solutions group performed well during the quarter in the face of continued challenges in the global vehicle market. The team’s focus on flexing cost and the continued launch of new platforms mitigated the impact of the lower demand environment.”
Power Solutions
Net sales for the first quarter of 2019 were $49.7 million, compared to $48.7 million in the first quarter of 2018, an increase of 2.0% or $1.0 million. Adjusted income from operations for the quarter was $8.4 million, compared to $9.2 million in 2018.
Mr. Holder commented, “We continued to feel the effects of a customer’s supply chain disruption, which we expect to be resolved during the second quarter. Additionally, we continue to grow and invest in our aerospace and defense business.”

The Company discloses in this presentation the non-GAAP financial measures of adjusted income from operations, adjusted net income (loss), and adjusted net income per diluted share. 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. Over the past five years, we have completed seven acquisitions, two of which were transformative for the Company, and sold two of our businesses. The costs we incurred in completing such acquisitions, including the amortization of intangibles and deferred financing costs, and these divestitures have been excluded from these measures because their size and inconsistent frequency are unrelated to our commercial performance during the period, and which 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 from operations, adjusted net income (loss), and adjusted net income per diluted share 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 from operations represents GAAP income 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 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 from operations.
(b) This line item reflects the aggregate tax effect of all nontax 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.
(c) Non-GAAP adjusted net income (loss) represents GAAP net income (loss) adjusted to exclude the tax-affected effects of restructuring and integration charges (related to plant closures and other charges incurred to implement our strategic goals that do not necessarily represent a major strategic shift in operations), charges related to acquisition and transition costs, amortization of intangibles costs for fair value step-up in values related to acquisitions and amortization of deferred financing costs, foreign exchange gain (loss) on inter-company loans, estimated interest expense on cash held from divestiture, non-cash impairment charges, the impact of enactment of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act and income from discontinued 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 segment 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 continuing operations.
