PSIX - Power Solutions International Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2023 Financial Results

Net Income $8.4 million , EPS $0.36 for the Quarter

Full Year Net Income $26.3 million , an increase of 133% , EPS $1.15

Full Year Operating Cash Flows $70.5 million , an increase of $79.4 million

Debt decreased $65.8 million year-to-date, $15.1 million for the Quarter

WOOD DALE, Ill., March 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Power Solutions International, Inc. (the “Company” or “PSI”) (OTC Pink: PSIX), a leader in the design, engineering and manufacture of emission-certified engines and power systems, announced fourth quarter and full year 2023 financial results.

Fourth Quarter 2023 Results

Sales for the fourth quarter of 2023 were $104.8 million, a decrease of $32.3 million, or 24%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2022, as a result of lower sales of $29.5 million and $16.8 million within the industrial and transportation end markets, respectively, partially offset by an increase of $14.0 million in the power systems end market. Decreased industrial end market sales are primarily due to decreases in demand for products used within the material handling and arbor care markets, as well as being directly affected by the enforcement of the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (“UFLPA”) which limited the Company’s ability to import certain raw materials at the end of 2023. The decreased sales within the transportation end market were primarily attributable to lower sales in the school bus market as customer products have evolved and new compliance and regulatory requirements have changed engine product offerings. Higher power systems end market sales are primarily due to increased demand for products across various applications, with the largest increases attributable to products used within the demand response market as well as traditional oil and gas products.

Gross profit decreased by $1.9 million, or 6%, during the fourth quarter of 2023 as compared to the same period in the prior year. Gross margin in the fourth quarter of 2023 was 26.3%, an increase of 4.8% compared to 21.5% in the same period last year, primarily due to improved mix, pricing actions and freight cost management. For both the fourth quarter of 2023 and 2022, warranty costs were $1.0 million. A majority of the warranty activity is attributable to products sold within the transportation end market in prior years.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased during the fourth quarter of 2023 by $0.7 million, or 7%, compared to the prior year, primarily due to lower legal costs during the period. These decreased costs were partially offset by an increase in incentive compensation expense.

Interest expense was $3.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 as compared to $4.3 million in the same period in the prior year, largely due to lower average outstanding debt, partially offset by higher overall effective interest rates on the Company’s debt.

The Company recorded income tax expense of $0.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, as compared to income tax expense of $0.3 million for the same period in 2022. Income tax expense for the fourth quarter of 2023 is related primarily to the impact of state income taxes and deferred tax liability related to indefinite lived assets.

Net income in the fourth quarter of 2023 was $8.4 million, or $0.36 per share, compared to net income of $9.3 million, or $0.40 per share for the fourth quarter of 2022. Adjusted net income was $7.5 million, or Adjusted income per share of $0.34 in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to Adjusted net income of $10.1 million, or Adjusted income per share of $0.44 for the fourth quarter of 2022. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) was $12.9 million compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $16.3 million in the fourth quarter last year.

See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for the Company’s definition of Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per share, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as well as the financial tables that accompany this release for reconciliations of these measures to their closest comparable GAAP measures.

Debt Update

The Company’s total debt was approximately $145.2 million at December 31, 2023, while cash and cash equivalents were approximately $22.8 million. This compares to total debt of approximately $211.0 million and cash and cash equivalents of approximately $24.3 million at December 31, 2022. Included in the Company’s total debt at December 31, 2023, were borrowings of $50.0 million under the Uncommitted Revolving Credit Agreement with Standard Chartered Bank, as the Company paid down $80.0 million during 2023, and borrowings of $25.0 million, $50.0 million, and $19.8 million, under the Second, Third and Fourth Shareholder’s Loan Agreements, respectively, with Weichai America Corp., the Company’s majority stockholder.

Management Comments

Dino Xykis, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Technical Officer, commented, “While we were unable to reach the topline revenue goals we set out for ourselves at the beginning of the year due to the unforeseen headwinds of the UFLPA and overall market conditions, we are pleased with what we were able to achieve by increasing margins and overall profitability, an accomplishment we would not have been able to achieve without the full support of every individual here at Power Solutions.”

Xykis continued, “While some of these topline pressures are expected to continue into 2024, we expect strong growth from the power systems end market to help drive our outlook for the upcoming year.”

Outlook for 2024

The Company expects its sales in 2024 to increase by approximately 3% versus 2023 levels, a result of expectations for strong growth in the power systems end market paired with flat sales in the industrial end market and a forecasted reduction in the transportation end markets. Notwithstanding this outlook, which is being driven in part by expectations for continuous improvement in supply chain dynamics, including timelier availability of parts and a continuation of favorable economic conditions within the United States and across the Company’s various markets, the Company cautions that significant uncertainty remains as a result of supply chain challenges, inflationary costs, commodity volatility, and the impact on the global economy of the war in Ukraine, among other factors.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the results provided in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) above, this press release also includes non-GAAP (adjusted) financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures provide insight into selected financial information and should be evaluated in the context in which they are presented. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with U.S. GAAP, and non-GAAP financial measures as reported by the Company may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, including the related notes, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Management does not use these non-GAAP financial measures for any purpose other than the reasons stated below.

Net income


The Company believes that Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per share, EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA provide relevant and useful information, which is widely used by analysts, investors and competitors in its industry as well as by the Company’s management in assessing the performance of the Company. Adjusted net income is defined as net income as adjusted for certain items that the Company believes are not indicative of its ongoing operating performance. Adjusted net income per share is a measure of the Company’s diluted net earnings per share adjusted for the impact of special items. EBITDA provides the Company with an understanding of earnings before the impact of investing and financing charges and income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA further excludes the effects of other non-cash and certain other items that do not reflect the ordinary earnings of the Company’s operations.

Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per share, EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA are used by management for various purposes, including as a measure of performance of the Company’s operations and as a basis for strategic planning and forecasting. Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per share, and Adjusted EBITDA may be useful to an investor because these measures are widely used to evaluate companies’ operating performance without regard to items excluded from the calculation of such measures, which can vary substantially from company to company depending on the accounting methods, the book value of assets, the capital structure and the method by which the assets were acquired, among other factors. They are not, however, intended as an alternative measure of operating results or cash flow from operations as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The following table presents a reconciliation from Net income to Adjusted net income for the three months and year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 (UNAUDITED):
