Steve Filipov, CEO of Manitex International commented," Our third quarter results were in line with our expectations, with a significant improvement in profitability from the second quarter of 2020. We reported a $1.3 million improvement in adjusted EBITDA of $900,000, or 2.6% of sales versus a loss of approximately $300,000 in the second quarter. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to create uncertainty in our markets, but we continue do the utmost to protect the safety and health of our teams and their families by strengthening our safety protocols to adapt to this changing environment."

"While we were impacted by the seasonal 2-week summer shut down in our European operations and sporadic furloughs at our Georgetown facility, we continued to take steps to protect our employees, shareholders, and adapt to a challenging environment. Our backlog has started to grow again and is up nearly 30% since the end of June, the strategic initiatives we have implemented at the PM Group both on the revenue side are driving improved performance for in both our knuckle boom products and our truck-mounted aerials year-over-year."

"We have also seen a positive trend in demand for our zero-emission Valla crane products and signed a significant order with a rental customer in Europe. We are continuing to invest in new products and technologies in this business as we see the demand coming from our customers to move to more environmentally friendly products."

"We executed a restructuring plan at our Georgetown and Winona facilities in July, and while the market for boom trucks in trending down approximately 25%, we were able to secure an extended military order for knuckle booms, and we have seen some promising order pick up in the past few weeks on boom trucks. We also launched a new 65-ton boom truck with the longest boom in its category, as well as a new 45-ton boom truck for specialty utility markets in the US. We anticipate initial orders for these cranes from our distributors for 2021 deliveries."

"Finally, we continue to focus on improving our balance sheet and have generated $3 million of cash since the beginning of 2020, to ensure we have the liquidity to weather the current economic environment. With our $41M in liquidity, we are confident we have the ability to pay down our upcoming debt requirements, with opportunity to deliver more cash as we close out 2020 and continue to focus on reducing our finished goods inventory."

Outlook:

"The reality of COVID-19 and other macro economic uncertainties, makes it difficult to give more substantial guidance, but we remain optimistic about fourth quarter performance. Given the uptick in orders and backlog, we expect our revenues to trend higher to a range of $40 million – $43 million, with the bottom line improving from our continued focus on margin recovery," concluded Mr. Filipov.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Items

Results of operations reflect continuing operations. All per share amounts are on a fully diluted basis. In this press release, Manitex refers to various non-GAAP (U.S. generally accepted accounting principles) financial measures which management uses to evaluate operating performance, to establish internal budgets and targets, and to compare the Company's financial performance against such budgets and targets. These non-GAAP measures, as defined by the Company, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures being disclosed by other companies. While adjusted financial measures are not intended to replace any presentation included in our consolidated financial statements under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and should not be considered an alternative to operating performance or an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity, we believe these measures are useful to investors in assessing our operating results, capital expenditure and working capital requirements and the ongoing performance of its underlying businesses. The amounts described below are unaudited, are reported in thousands of U.S. dollars, and are as of, or for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, unless otherwise indicated. A reconciliation of Adjusted GAAP financial measures for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 is included with this press release below and with the Company's related Form 8-K.
