FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

NN, INC. REPORTS FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THIRD QUARTER

Net sales increased 8.6% over the prior year;
Continued progress on strategic initiatives despite challenging inflation and supply chain environment

CHARLOTTE, N.C., November 1, 2022 – NN, Inc. (NASDAQ: NNBR), a global diversified industrial company that manufactures high-precision components and assemblies, today reported its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022.
Warren Veltman, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Our team made solid progress against our long-term strategic goals during the third quarter. We generated sales growth with increased volumes and improved pricing reflecting our efforts to recover inflation throughout the year and made considerable progress in optimizing our production footprint to be more cost competitive. Although our third quarter results show an improvement from the prior year, the results did not meet our expectations which is disappointing, and we continue to focus on increasing sales in key strategic sectors, additional inflation recovery, and improving operational efficiency. We remain confident that the actions we have taken, including the recently announced closure of our Irvine location, will enable us to deliver for our customers, position the company for success and provide improved shareholder returns.”

GAAP Results
Net sales were $127.3 million, an increase of 8.6% from the third quarter of 2021, primarily due to increased pricing and improved demand in Mobile Solutions, partially offset by unfavorable foreign exchange effects.

Loss from operations was $2.1 million compared to loss from operations of $4.6 million in the third quarter of 2021. The reduction in loss from operations was primarily driven by an increase in sales and lower incentive and stock-based compensation expenses.

Income from operations for the Power Solutions segment was $2.6 million compared to $1.3 million for the same period in 2021. Loss from operations for Mobile Solutions was $0.5 million compared a loss of $0.3 million for the same period in 2021.

Net loss was $2.2 million compared to a net loss of $3.4 million for the same period in 2021. The decrease in net loss was primarily driven by higher sales, lower incentive and stock-based compensation expenses, and an increase in the share of net income from the China joint venture.
1





Adjusted Results
Adjusted income from operations for the third quarter of 2022 was $2.5 million compared to adjusted loss from operations of $0.2 million for the same period in 2021. Adjusted EBITDA was $11.8 million, or 9.3% of sales, compared to $9.7 million, or 8.3% of sales, for the same period in 2021. Adjusted net income was $1.5 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net income of $0.5 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, for the same period in 2021.
Free cash flow was a use of cash of $4.4 million compared to a use of cash of $3.7 million for the same period in 2021. The decrease in free cash flow was primarily driven by an increase in capital expenditures during the third quarter.
On October 13, 2022, the Company announced the planned closure of its production facility in Irvine, California. This announcement follows the closure of the Company’s Taunton, Massachusetts facility which was announced in February 2022. Through the first nine months of 2022, the two facilities generated combined adjusted operating losses of $7.5 million and adjusted EBITDA losses of $5.8 million.
Power Solutions
Net sales for the third quarter of 2022 were $51.1 million compared to $48.7 million in the third quarter of 2021, an increase of 5.0% or $2.4 million. The increase in sales was primarily due to higher customer pricing and volume, partially offset by lower precious metals pass-through pricing and unfavorable foreign exchange effects. Adjusted income from operations was $5.8 million compared to $4.0 million in the third quarter of 2021. The increase in adjusted income from operations was primarily due to the increase in sales and lower incentive compensation expense and favorable mix, partially offset by a gain on the sale of a facility in the third quarter of 2021.

Mobile Solutions
Net sales for the third quarter of 2022 were $76.1 million compared to $68.6 million in the third quarter of 2021, a increase of 11.0% or $7.5 million. The increase in sales was primarily due to increased pricing and volume demand, partially offset by negative foreign exchange effects. Adjusted income from operations was $0.7 million compared to $1.0 million of adjusted income from operations in the third quarter of 2021. The decrease in adjusted operating income was primarily driven by inflationary costs not fully recovered in customer pricing partially offset by lower incentive compensation expense.

2022 Outlook
Based on results for the first nine months of the year, as well as expectations for the remainder of the year, the Company has revised its expectations for financial results for the full year as follows:

Revenue in the range of $503 million to $510 million
Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $45 million to $48 million
Free cash flow in the range of ($12) to ($9) million
Free cash flow outlook does not include CARES Act tax refund of ~$11 million due to uncertain timing

NN will discuss its results during its quarterly investor conference call on November 2, 2022, at 9:00 a.m. ET. The call and supplemental presentation may be accessed via NN's website, www.nninc.com.

The Company discloses in this presentation the non-GAAP financial measures of adjusted income (loss) from operations, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) per diluted common share, and free cash flow. 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 several acquisitions, one of which was 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 (loss) from operations, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) per diluted common share, and free cash flow 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 (loss) from operations represents GAAP income (loss) 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 (loss) 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 (loss) from operations.
(b) Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA represents GAAP net income (loss), adjusted to include income taxes, interest expense, write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs, interest rate swap payments and change in fair value that was recognized in earnings, change in fair value of preferred stock derivatives and warrants, depreciation and amortization, charges related to acquisition and transition costs, non-cash stock compensation expense, foreign exchange gain (loss) on inter-company loans, restructuring and integration expense, costs related to divested businesses and litigation settlements, income from discontinued operations, and non-cash impairment charges, to the extent applicable. 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 EBITDA 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.
(c) This line item reflects the aggregate tax effect of all non-tax 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.
(d) Non-GAAP adjusted net income (loss) represents GAAP net income (loss) adjusted to exclude the tax-affected effects of charges related to acquisition and transition costs, foreign exchange gain (loss) on inter-company loans, restructuring and integration charges, amortization of intangibles costs for fair value step-up in values related to acquisitions and amortization of deferred financing costs, non-cash impairment charges, write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs, interest rate swap payments and change in fair value, change in fair value of preferred stock derivatives and warrants, costs related to divested businesses and litigation settlements, income (loss) from discontinued operations, and preferred stock cumulative dividends and deemed dividends. 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.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

NN, Inc. Announces Executive Team Transition

CHARLOTTE, N.C., November 1, 2022 /Globe Newswire/ -- NN, Inc. (NASDAQ: NNBR), a global diversified industrial company, today announced that its Board of Directors has implemented a management transition plan to address the planned retirements of Warren Veltman, President and Chief Executive Officer, and John Buchan, Executive Vice President, Mobile Solutions and Power Solutions. NN anticipates that Mr. Veltman and Mr. Buchan will remain in their current positions until March 31, 2023, which may be extended in order to facilitate an orderly transition. Following their respective retirements, the Company expects that Mr. Veltman and Mr. Buchan will remain available on a consulting basis to assist with the management transition as needed.

The Board has engaged Korn Ferry, a global organizational consulting firm, to assist in identifying candidates for the President and Chief Executive Officer position, with expertise in the electrical and electric vehicle industries to further NN’s focus on these rapidly growing markets.

In connection with the planned retirements, the Company has named Gunars Vinkels as the interim Chief Operating Officer of Power Solutions and Douglas Campos as the interim Chief Operating Officer of Mobile Solutions. Each will report to John Buchan to facilitate a smooth transition and continuity of operational leadership.

“We have accomplished much over the past three plus years as we positioned NN for sustainable long-term growth and improved operating performance. With the reduction in our debt, strengthening of our customer-focused continuous improvement culture, rightsizing our operational footprint to be more cost competitive and the refining of our growth strategy to be focused on the high-growth electric vehicle and electrical markets, we have made significant progress in the transformation of our business,” said Warren Veltman, President and Chief Executive Officer of NN. “I am proud of and appreciate the significant contributions that all our NN associates have made to this transformation and though much work remains to be accomplished, am confident that NN is on a path to continued success.”

“Over the last three years we have improved the effectiveness of our operations and IT systems while combating the COVID pandemic, supply interruptions and labor shortages,” stated John Buchan, Executive Vice President, Mobile Solutions and Power Solutions. “We have a strong bench of talent within our operating groups, and I am confident that in their interim roles, Douglas and Gunars will provide leadership to continue streamlining our operations while maintaining exceptional customer relationships.”

We believe NN’s broad portfolio of close-tolerance technologies and co-engineering capabilities positions us exceptionally well for future growth. We are focused on filling the CEO position with a proven leader that ideally has demonstrated the ability to drive commercial success in the electric and electrical vehicle industries.”

Mr. Gunars Vinkels has almost thirty years of experience in the Power Solutions business beginning as an engineer and advancing to Operations Director at PEP Group at the time of its acquisition by NN in 2015. Since that time, Mr. Vinkels has progressed to Group Vice President of Operations for Power Solutions with a focus on the electrical businesses at NN. Mr. Vinkels holds a Bachelor of Science in Manufacturing from Worcester Polytechnic Institute and a Master of Science in Manufacturing Engineering from the University of Massachusetts at Lowell.
