The Manitowoc Company Reports Second-Quarter 2020 Financial Results

The Manitowoc Company, Inc. (NYSE: MTW), (the “Company” or “Manitowoc”) a leading global manufacturer of cranes and lifting solutions, today reported a second-quarter net loss of $12.7 million, or $0.37 per diluted share. Second-quarter adjusted net loss(1) of $16.2 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, declined $49.7 million year-over-year.

Net sales in the second quarter, 2020 decreased 35% year-over-year to $328.3 million. The COVID-19 pandemic coupled with weak economic activity impacted demand in all regions. Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $7.8 million, or 2.4% of sales, declined $45.5 million mainly due to the sales decline and reduced manufacturing activity in the quarter.

Second-quarter orders of $237.8 million declined 36.1% from the prior year. Backlog as of June 30, 2020 totaled $430.5 million, a decrease of 17% from March 31, 2020.

“Our second-quarter adjusted EBITDA of $7.8 million reflected good operational performance and was in line with our expectations, considering the vast challenges posed by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. I am proud of our team’s resilience as we continue to operate with excellence and meet our customers’ expectations, while protecting the well-being of our employees and partnering with our supply chain during this global pandemic,” commented Aaron H. Ravenscroft, President and Chief Executive Officer of The Manitowoc Company, Inc.

“During our 117-year history, we have endured several unforeseen crises, and I am confident we will successfully navigate this one as evidenced by our prudent cash management and ample liquidity of $375 million. The strengths that are core to Manitowoc's business – our people, our products and brands, our network and our operational excellence – guide every decision we make and position us for success when demand returns,” concluded Ravenscroft.

2020 Outlook

As a result of the significant uncertainty around the future impact that COVID-19 will have on the Company’s end market demand and supply chain, full year 2020 guidance is not being provided.

CEO Succession Plan

In a separate release issued today, the Company announced that Aaron H. Ravenscroft, formerly the Company’s Executive Vice President of Cranes, has been appointed President and CEO, and a member of the Board of Directors, effective immediately. Mr. Ravenscroft succeeds Barry L. Pennypacker, who is stepping down from his role as President and Chief Executive Officer and as a member of the Board as part of the Company’s leadership transition plan. Mr. Pennypacker will continue to serve the Company in an advisory role through December 31, 2020, to ensure a smooth transition.

Footnote

(1)Adjusted net income (loss), diluted adjusted net income (loss) per share, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income (loss), adjusted operating cash flows and free cash flows 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 (loss), adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income (loss), adjusted operating cash flows and 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.
