FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

August 6, 2020

NN, INC. REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2020 RESULTS

Free cash flow improved by $9.1 million compared to prior year

Amended debt agreement enhances financial flexibility

Charlotte, N.C., August 6, 2020 – NN, Inc., (NASDAQ: NNBR), a diversified industrial company, today reported its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020.

GAAP Results

Net sales for the second quarter of 2020 decreased $71.2 million, or 32.1%, to $150.4 million, compared to $221.7 million for the second quarter of 2019, driven by a decline in organic volume of $69.9 million, as a result of lower demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic within the orthopaedic, global automotive, electrical products, and oil and gas end markets, along with unfavorable foreign exchange effects of $1.3 million.

On a GAAP basis, loss from operations for the second quarter of 2020 was $8.2 million, compared to income from operations of $7.5 million for the same period in 2019. In the second quarter of 2020, the loss from operations was primarily driven by the above-referenced sales volume decline, which was partially offset by cost reduction initiatives that resulted in lower personnel and travel costs.

Net loss on a GAAP basis for the second quarter of 2020 was $21.7 million, compared to net loss on a GAAP basis of $7.3 million in the second quarter of 2019.

On a GAAP basis, income from operations for second quarter 2020 in the Life Sciences segment was $4.3 million, compared to income from operations of $9.3 million for the same period in 2019.

On a GAAP basis, loss from operations for second quarter 2020 in the Mobile Solutions segment was $4.6 million, compared to income from operations of $3.5 million for the same period in 2019.

1

On a GAAP basis, income from operations for second quarter 2020 in the Power Solutions segment was $1.5 million, compared to income from operations of $5.7 million for the same period in 2019.

Adjusted Results

Adjusted income from operations for the second quarter of 2020 was $8.0 million, compared to $27.3 million for the same period in 2019. Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2020 was $22.9 million, or 15.3% of sales, versus $39.3 million, or 17.7% of sales, for the same period in 2019. Adjusted net loss was $4.8 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net income of $10.0 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, for the same period in 2019. Free cash flow improved significantly by $9.1 million and net debt decreased by $94.3 million when compared to the same period in 2019.

Warren Veltman, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “As expected, our second quarter was significantly impacted across the globe due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In light of these unprecedented challenges, we ramped up cost savings measures that were initially implemented in the fall to best align our cost structure to the current environment and preserve cash. These initiatives along with reductions in working capital have resulted in increased cash flow of $9.1 million year over year and positive cash flow year to date. We also recently amended our credit facility and obtained covenant relief for the second and third quarter, which provides us with near-term enhanced financial flexibility to manage through the impact of the pandemic through the end of the year. As we move into the second half of the year, we will continue to be disciplined in managing our working capital and look for additional ways to save costs and improve our liquidity.”

Mr. Veltman continued: “I am proud of our team for their outstanding efforts in the face of enormous challenges. Our top priorities for the second quarter were to keep our employees safe and satisfy all our customer requirements, and we accomplished this through implementing increased cleaning and safety practices in our facilities. The health and safety of our employees will continue to be our priority as we navigate the COVID-19 pandemic in the second half of the year.”

Life Sciences

Net sales for the second quarter of 2020 were $72.4 million, compared to $91.3 million in the second quarter of 2019, a decrease of 20.7% or $18.9 million. Adjusted income from operations for the second quarter of 2020 was $13.9 million, compared to $20.4 million in the second quarter of 2019. Lost variable margin on lower sales and higher depreciation expense attributable to the capital investments made during 2019 to support expected business growth contributed to the decrease in adjusted income from operations. These unfavorable impacts were partially offset by savings from continuous improvement initiatives and overall reductions in manufacturing and SG&A costs resulting from significant cost savings initiatives implemented to respond to the unfavorable impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Mobile Solutions

Net sales for the second quarter of 2020 were $41.0 million, compared to $79.4 million in the second quarter of 2019, a decrease of 48.3% or $38.4 million. Adjusted loss from operations for the second quarter of 2020 was $3.4 million, compared to $5.6 million of adjusted operating income in the second quarter of 2019. The reduction in adjusted operating income was due to lost variable margin on the sales volume decline, which was partially offset by fixed cost reduction actions taken in response to the decline in sales volume.

Power Solutions

Net sales for the second quarter of 2020 were $37.5 million, compared to $51.4 million in the second quarter of 2019, a decrease of $13.9 million or 27.0%. Adjusted income from operations for the quarter was $4.7 million, compared to $10.1 million in the second quarter of 2019. The reduction in adjusted operating income was due to lost variable margin on the sales volume decline, which was partially offset by fixed cost reduction actions taken in response to the decline in sales volume.

The Company discloses in this presentation the non-GAAP financial measures of adjusted income from operations, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income per diluted share, free cash flow and net debt. 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 EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income per diluted share, free cash flow and net debt 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.

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.
