FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including but not limited to statements made in Part I, Item 2–“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” statements made with respect to future operating results, expectations of future customer orders and the availability of resources necessary for our business may be deemed to be forward-looking statements, as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Forward-looking statements also include the assumptions underlying or relating to any of the foregoing statements. Such forward-looking statements are made based on our management’s beliefs as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, our management. Our actual results may differ materially from the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements due to, among other things:

●

changes in price, delivery delays and decreased availability of component parts, chassis and raw materials, including aluminum, steel, petroleum-related products, including as a result of increased demand from improving market conditions, general inflation, the war in Ukraine, as further discussed below, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and related variants and supply chain difficulties;

●

economic and market conditions, including the negative impacts on the Company’s customers, suppliers and employees from increasing inflationary pressures, economic and geopolitical uncertainties (including the war in Ukraine) and the continuing and any potential future negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic;

●

our dependence upon outside suppliers for purchased component parts, chassis and raw materials, including aluminum, steel, and petroleum-related products;

●

increased employee turnover rates and the ability to attract and retain skilled labor to manufacture our products;

●

the potential negative impacts of various actions taken by the federal government in response to economic volatility and inflationary pressures, including the impact on our customers’ and end users’ access to capital and credit to fund purchases;

●

operational challenges caused by increased sales volumes as the economy and markets recover from the conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic;

●

future impacts resulting from the war in Ukraine, which include or could include (among other effects) disruption in global commodity and other markets, increased prices for energy, supply shortages and supplier financial risk;

●

the cyclical nature of our industry and changes in consumer confidence;

●

special risks from our sales to U.S. and other governmental entities through prime contractors;

●

changes in fuel and other transportation costs, insurance costs and weather conditions;

●

changes in government regulations, including environmental and health and safety regulations;

●

failure to comply with domestic and foreign anti-corruption laws;

●

competition in our industry and our ability to attract or retain customers;

●

our ability to develop or acquire proprietary products and technology;

●

assertions against us relating to intellectual property rights;

●

a disruption in, or breach in security of, our information technology systems or any violation of data protection laws;

Table of Contents

●

changes in the tax regimes and related government policies and regulations in the countries in which we operate;

●

the effects of regulations relating to conflict minerals;

●

the catastrophic loss of one of our manufacturing facilities;

●

environmental and health and safety liabilities and requirements;

●

loss of the services of our key executives;

●

product warranty or product liability claims in excess of our insurance coverage;

●

potential recalls of components or parts manufactured for us by suppliers or potential recalls of defective products;

●

an inability to acquire insurance at commercially reasonable rates;

●

and those other risks referenced herein, including those risks referred to in Part II, Item 1A–“Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and those risks discussed in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including those risks discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, which discussion is incorporated herein by this reference.

Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. You should read this report and the documents that we reference in this report and have filed as exhibits to the report completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. Also, forward-looking statements represent our management’s beliefs and assumptions only as of the date of this report.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(in thousands, except as otherwise noted)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The condensed consolidated financial statements of Miller Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) included herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Nevertheless, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the financial information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows at the dates and for the periods presented. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the fiscal year.

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. The condensed consolidated financial statements include accounts of certain subsidiaries whose fiscal closing dates differ from December 31^st by 31 days (or less) to facilitate timely reporting.

2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Recently Issued Standards

In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805). The update provides guidance on how to measure and recognize contract assets and contract liabilities when purchased as part of a business combination. According to the guidance, the acquirer must follow ASC Topic 606 in accounting for the contract asset or contract liability being purchased. The amendments in the update will be effective for financial statements beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company will apply the amendments prospectively. The adoption of this update will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2022-02, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326). The update will require entities with financing receivables to disclose gross write-offs by year of origination of the receivable. The amendments in the update will be effective for financial statements beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and will be applied prospectively. The adoption of this update will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Recently Adopted Standards

During the first quarter of 2022, the Company adopted ASU 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832), which requires certain disclosures about transactions with a government that are accounted for by applying a grant or contribution accounting model by analogy. The amendments require disclosure of information about the nature of the transactions and the related accounting policy used to account for the transactions, information regarding the line items within the consolidated financial statements that are affected by the transactions, and significant terms and conditions of the transactions. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

3. BASIC AND DILUTED INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

Basic and diluted income per common share were calculated using the following:


	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	September 30				September 30
	2022		2021		2022		2021

Net Income	$	5,232	$	3,846	$	11,054	$	13,540

Basic and Diluted Common Shares
Weighted Average Shares Outstanding - Basic		11,417		11,411		11,417		11,411
Dilution for Assumed Exercises of Nonvested Restricted Stock Units		—		—		1		—
Weighted Average Common Shares Outstanding - Diluted		11,417		11,411		11,418		11,411

Basic income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted income per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common and potential dilutive common shares outstanding. The Company uses the treasury stock method to account for the effect of nonvested restricted stock units on the computation of diluted income per share. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, all 160 nonvested restricted stock units would have been anti-dilutive. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, none of the nonvested restricted stock units would have been anti-dilutive. There were no nonvested restricted stock units granted or outstanding during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2021.

4. REVENUE

Substantially all of our revenue is generated from sales of towing and recovery equipment. As such, disaggregation of revenue by product line would not provide useful information because all product lines have substantially similar characteristics. However, revenue streams are tracked by the geographic location of customers. This disaggregated information is presented in the table below.


	For the Three Months Ended				For the Nine Months Ended
	September 30,				September 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021
Net Sales:
North America	$	182,249	$	142,338	$	562,235	$	450,908
Foreign		23,308		22,377		60,367		64,877
	$	205,557	$	164,715	$	622,602	$	515,785

Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with a customer are satisfied. Except for certain extended service contracts on a small percentage of units sold, the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied, and sales revenue is recognized when products are shipped from the Company’s facilities. From time to time, revenue is recognized under a bill and hold arrangement. Recognition of revenue on bill and hold arrangements occurs when control transfers to the customer. The bill and hold arrangement must be substantive, and the product must be separately identified as belonging to the customer, ready for physical transfer, and unavailable to be used or directed to another customer.

Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for the transfer of products. Sales and other taxes collected concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. Warranty related costs are recognized as an expense at the time products are sold and a reserve is established. Depending on the terms of the arrangement, for certain contracts the Company may defer the recognition of a portion of the consideration received because a future obligation has not yet been satisfied, such as an extended service contract. An observable price is used to determine the stand-alone selling price for separate performance obligations or a cost plus margin approach is utilized when one is not available.

Contract assets primarily relate to the Company’s rights to consideration for work completed but not billed at the reporting date. The contract assets are transferred to receivables when the rights become unconditional. Contract liabilities primarily relate to performance obligations to be satisfied in the future. As of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, contract liability balances were $274 and $257, respectively, and are included in accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. No revenue related to contract liability balances was

recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, or during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. The Company did not have any contract assets at September 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021.

The Company extends credit to customers in the normal course of business. Collections from customers are continuously monitored and an allowance for credit losses is maintained based on historical experience adjusted for current conditions and forecasts capturing country and industry-specific economic factors. The Company also considers any specific customer collection issues. Since the Company’s trade receivables are largely similar, the Company evaluates its allowance for credit losses as one portfolio segment. At origination, the Company evaluates credit risk based on a variety of credit quality factors including prior payment experience, customer financial information, credit ratings, probabilities of default, industry trends and other internal metrics. On an ongoing basis, data by each major customer is regularly reviewed based on past-due status to evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses and actual write-offs are charged against the allowance. Terms on accounts receivable vary and are based on specific terms agreed upon with each customer. Write-offs of accounts receivable were de minimis during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Trade accounts receivable are generally diversified due to the number of entities comprising the Company’s customer base and their dispersion across many geographic regions. The Company also frequently monitors the creditworthiness of the customers to whom the credit is granted in the normal course of business. Sales from one customer made up approximately 12% and 11% of total Company sales during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. No one customer made up greater than 10% of total Company sales during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2021. Accounts receivable from no one customer made up greater than 10% of total Company trade accounts receivable at September 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021.

5. INVENTORIES

Inventory costs include materials, labor and factory overhead. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, determined on a moving average unit cost basis. Appropriate consideration is given to obsolescence, valuation and other factors in determining net realizable value. Revisions of these estimates could result in the need for adjustments. Inventories, net of reserves, at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 consisted of the following:


	2022		2021
Chassis	$	14,974	$	5,753
Raw materials		70,531		59,651
Work in process		44,334		33,994
Finished goods		14,543		15,510
	$	144,382	$	114,908

6. LONG-TERM OBLIGATIONS

Credit Facility

On October 28, 2022, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into (a) a First Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan Agreement with First Horizon Bank (successor in interest to First Tennessee Bank National Association, “First Horizon”) and (b) an Amended and Restated Master Revolving Credit Note, dated as of October 28, 2022, in the maximum principal amount of $100.0 million, with a maturity date of May 31, 2027 (the “Amended Note” and together with the Amended Note, collectively, the “Amendment Documents”).

The Amendment Documents amend the Company’s existing credit facility evidenced by the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement dated as of December 21, 2020 (the “Prior Credit Agreement”) which had provided a $50.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility with First Horizon (the “Prior Credit Facility”) to, among other things: (i) provide for revolving credit availability up to a maximum principal amount of $100.00 million, (ii) make certain technical and operational adjustments necessary to implement one (1) month Term SOFR as the primary interest rate index and (iii) include a new asset coverage financial covenant test. All other material terms and conditions of the Prior Credit Facility as evidenced by the Prior Credit Agreement remain unchanged, including the maturity date of May 31, 2027.

During the first nine months of 2022, the Company drew $45,000 on its credit facility for working capital needs and retained $45,000 in outstanding borrowings under its credit facility at September 30, 2022. At December 31, 2021, the Company had $0 in outstanding

Table of Contents

borrowings under the credit facility. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2022, the Company had cash and temporary investments of $33,208 and $54,332, respectively.

7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Leasing Activities

The Company leases certain equipment and facilities under long-term non-cancellable operating and finance lease agreements. The leases expire at various dates through 2027. Certain of the lease agreements contain renewal options. For those leases that have renewal options, the Company included these renewal periods in the lease term if the Company determined it was reasonably certain to exercise the renewal option. Lease payments during such renewal periods were also considered in the calculation of right-of-use assets and lease obligations.

Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease obligations represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Lease obligations are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Right-of-use assets are recognized at the commencement date as the initial measurement of the lease liability, plus payments made prior to lease commencement and any initial direct costs. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term for operating leases. For finance leases, expense is recognized as the expense from straight-line amortization of the right-of-use asset plus the periodic interest expense from the lease obligation. Short-term leases have a lease term of twelve months or less. The Company recognizes short-term leases on a straight-line basis and does not record a related right-of-use asset or lease obligation for such contracts.

Right-of-use assets related to finance leases are included as a component of property, plant and equipment, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

A maturity analysis of the undiscounted cash flows of operating lease obligations is as follows:


	Operating Lease Obligation
Remaining lease payments to be paid during the year ended December 31,
2022	$	96
2023		323

The weighted average remaining lease term for operating leases at September 30, 2022 was 3.3 years. The weighted average remaining lease term for operating leases and finance leases at December 31, 2021 was 3.9 years and 0.7 years, respectively. The weighted average discount rate for operating leases at September 30, 2022 was 3.1%. The weighted average discount rate for operating leases and finance leases at December 31, 2021 was 3.1% and 4.0%, respectively. The Company’s subsidiary in the United Kingdom leased facilities used for manufacturing and office space from a related party with related lease costs during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 of $50 and $59, respectively, and related lease costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 of $158 and $172, respectively. The Company’s French subsidiary leased a fleet of vehicles from a related party with related lease costs of $38 and $27 during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and related lease costs of $109 and $83 during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Other Commitments

At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had commitments of approximately $5,616 and $5,052, respectively, for construction and acquisition of property, plant and equipment. The Company migrated its enterprise resource planning (ERP) system to a multi-tenant cloud environment in 2021 and is continuing to implement additional modules such as enterprise performance management, human capital management, data analytics and the use of artificial intelligence. During the implementation of these modules we are conducting an examination of historical information to confirm accuracy of information being migrated to our new systems. Any adjustments identified and recorded as a result of the examination are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company. Related to the continuing implementation project, at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had commitments of approximately $2,874 and $3,751, respectively, in software license fees payable in installments through 2025.

Contingencies

The Company has entered into arrangements with third-party lenders where it has agreed, in the event of default by a distributor within the independent distributor network, to repurchase from the third-party lender Company products repossessed from the independent distributor customer. These arrangements are typically subject to a maximum repurchase amount. The maximum amount of collateral that the Company could be required to purchase was approximately $72,863 at September 30, 2022, and $47,883 at December 31, 2021. The increase during 2022 is due to increases in sales and supply chain issues that delay payment until all parts and components are received. The Company’s risk under these arrangements is mitigated by the value of the products that would be repurchased as part of the transaction. The Company considered the fair value at inception of its commitment under these arrangements and concluded that there is no probable loss associated with these potential repurchase obligations and thus no associated liability was recognized at September 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021.

Table of Contents

The Company is, from time to time, a party to litigation arising in the normal course of its business. Litigation is subject to various inherent uncertainties, and it is possible that some of such matters could be resolved unfavorably to the Company, which could result in substantial damages against the Company. The Company establishes accruals for matters that are probable and reasonably estimable and maintains product liability and other insurance that management believes to be adequate. Management believes that any liability that may ultimately result from the resolution of any such matters in excess of available insurance coverage and accruals will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company.

8. INCOME TAXES

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had no federal net operating loss carryforwards. State net operating loss carryforwards were not significant at September 30, 2022.

9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Credit Facility

Subsequent to September 30, 2022, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into (a) a First Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan Agreement with First Horizon Bank (successor in interest to First Tennessee Bank National Association, “First Horizon”) and (b) an Amended and Restated Master Revolving Credit Note, dated as of October 28, 2022, in the maximum principal amount of $100.0 million, with a maturity date of May 31, 2027 (the “Amended Note” and together with the Amended Note, collectively, the “Amendment Documents”). See Note 6 for more information.

Dividends

On November 7, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.18 per share. The dividend is payable December 12, 2022, to shareholders of record as of December 5, 2022.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion of our results of operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our audited financial statements and other information presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC for the year ended December 31, 2021. Unless the context indicates otherwise, all dollar amounts in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are in thousands.

Executive Overview

Miller Industries, Inc. is The World’s Largest Manufacturer of Towing and Recovery Equipment®, with domestic manufacturing subsidiaries in Tennessee and Pennsylvania, and foreign manufacturing subsidiaries in France and the United Kingdom. We offer a broad range of equipment to meet our customers’ design, capacity and cost requirements under our Century®, Vulcan®, Challenger®, Holmes®, Champion®, Chevron™, Eagle®, Titan®, Jige™ and Boniface™ brand names. In this Item 2 – “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” the words “Miller Industries,” “the Company,” “we,” “our,” “ours” and “us” refer to Miller Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries or any of them.

Our management focuses on a variety of key indicators to monitor our overall operating and financial performance. These indicators include measurements of revenue, operating income, gross margin, net income, earnings per share, capital expenditures and cash flow.

We derive revenues primarily from product sales made to our network of domestic and foreign independent distributors. Our revenues are sensitive to a variety of factors including general economic conditions as well as demand for, and price of, our products, our technological competitiveness, our reputation for providing quality products and reliable service, competition within our industry, and the cost and availability of purchased component parts, truck chassis and raw materials (including aluminum, steel and petroleum-related products).

Our history of innovation in the towing and recovery industry has been an important factor behind our growth over the last decade and we believe that our continued emphasis on research and development will be a key factor in our future growth. Our domestic plant expansion and modernization projects have installed sophisticated robotics and implemented other advanced technologies to optimize our manufacturing processes. We completed phase one of the implementation of an enterprise software solution during 2021, which we expect to substantially improve our administrative efficiency and customer service levels. As we retain our focus toward modernization, we continue to invest in robotics and automated material handling equipment across all of our domestic manufacturing facilities.

We opened our free-standing R&D facility in Chattanooga in 2019, where we pursue various innovations in our products and manufacturing processes, some of which are intended to enhance the safety of our employees and reduce our environmental impact. All of our domestic facilities have undergone substantial expansion and modernization projects during the period 2017 to 2021. We invested over $82,000 on property, plant and equipment during this five-year period, including our most recent fabrication equipment upgrades at our Greeneville, Tennessee facilities. These projects not only increased our production capacity, but also included installing sophisticated robotics and implementing other advanced technologies to optimize our manufacturing process.

Our industry is cyclical in nature. The overall demand for our products and our resulting revenues has at times been negatively affected by:

●

wavering levels of consumer confidence;

●

volatility and disruption in domestic and international capital and credit markets and the resulting decrease in the availability of financing, including floor plan financing, for our customers and towing operators;

●

significant periodic increases in fuel and insurance costs and their negative effect on the ability of our customers to purchase towing and related equipment; and

●

the overall effects of global, political, economic and health conditions.

We remain concerned about the continuing effects of these factors on the towing and recovery industry, and we continue to monitor our overall cost structure to see that it remains in line with business conditions.

Table of Contents

In addition, we have been and will continue to be affected by changes in the prices that we pay for raw materials, particularly aluminum, steel, and petroleum-related products, which represent a substantial part of our total cost of operations. Historically, we have implemented price increases on our products to offset price increases in the raw materials that we use. We have also developed alternatives to some of the components used in our production process that incorporate these raw materials, and our suppliers have implemented these alternatives in the production of our component parts. We continue to monitor raw material prices and availability in order to more favorably position the Company in this dynamic market.

Recent Developments

Supply chain challenges such as shortages and delivery delays in component parts and raw materials were generally lessening as 2022 began but the impact of the war in Ukraine, lingering effects of COVID-19 in the U.S. and abroad and general economic conditions have slowed this improvement over the course of 2022. While the overall impact of supply chain disruptions and workforce retention challenges lessened during the third quarter of 2022, these challenges continued to reduce our ability to complete finished goods without timing delays and to increase our costs of operations. In addition, general inflationary pressures coupled with rising interest rates have substantially increased throughout the first three quarters of 2022. Finally, the rapid strengthening of the US Dollar in comparison to certain other currencies has caused fluctuations within accumulated other comprehensive loss in our condensed consolidated balance sheet and the recognition of significant losses in our condensed consolidated statement of income.

We continue to monitor these pressures closely and, when possible, attempt to mitigate the risk associated with them, including by implementing several price increases and surcharges during 2022 and announcing an 8% price increase effective in the first quarter of 2023, by pursuing additional production capabilities through capital deployment (such as our first quarter 2022 purchase of an additional small facility in Ooltewah, TN to be used in the production of small carrier units), by monitoring currency rates and purchasing currency denominations at advantageous times, and by relying more heavily on our in-house fabrication capabilities, which were significantly expanded in 2020.

Based on our strong backlog, the surcharge and price increases we have implemented and the current status of our process improvements, our operating results have improved during the third quarter of 2022, and we believe we are well positioned to continue enhancing operating results. However, our performance will be heavily influenced by whether supply chain constraints and inflationary pressures worsen, the continuing impact of the war in Ukraine or other geopolitical factors, and the threat of recession and general economic factors, among other reasons. The impact of these factors remains largely out of our control, and we currently anticipate that these factors will continue to have an adverse impact on our production capabilities and net income over the remainder of 2022 and into 2023.

At December 31, 2021, the Company owed $0 under its primary credit facility. During the first nine months of 2022, the Company drew $45,000 for working capital needs and retains a balance on its credit facility of $45,000 at November 8, 2022.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which require us to make estimates. Certain accounting policies are deemed “critical,” as they require management’s highest degree of judgment, estimations and assumptions. The accounting policies deemed to be most critical to our financial position and results of operations are those related to accounts receivable, inventory, long-lived assets, warranty reserves, revenues, and income taxes. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies during the first nine months of 2022.

For additional information, refer to our summary of significant accounting policies in Note 2 of the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" in Part IV, Item 15 and "Critical Accounting Policies" in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Results of Operations – Three Months Ended September 30, 2022 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2021

Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased 24.8% to $205,557 from $164,715 for the comparable period in 2021. The increase in revenue is primarily the result of the realization of price increases and increases in production volume due to steady supply chain improvements. Net domestic sales increased during the three months ended September 30, 2022 to $182,249 from $142,338 for the comparable period in 2021, while net foreign sales increased to $23,308 from $22,377 during the same three-month period.

Costs of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased 24.2% to $182,377 from $146,883 for the comparable period in 2021, primarily due to higher prices for components, parts scarcity resulting from supply chain challenges, and wage inflation. However,

Table of Contents

costs of operations decreased as a percentage of sales to 88.7%, compared to 89.2% for the comparable period in 2021, primarily due to the recognition of price increases on sales to customers.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased to $14,673 from $11,983 for the comparable period in 2021 due to increased personnel related costs and certain other non-recurring charges. As a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2022 decreased to 7.1% from 7.3% in the comparable period in 2021, as a result of the increase in revenue.

Interest expense, net increased to $1,042 from $286 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the prior year period. Increases in interest expense, net were primarily due to increased borrowings on our credit facility and increases in floor plan interest payments.

For the three months ended September 30, 2022 the Company recognized a net foreign currency exchange loss of $633, compared to a net loss of $198 for the three months ended September 30, 2021, reflecting foreign currency gains and loss on transactions denominated in a currency other than the local entity’s functional currency.

The provision for income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 reflects a combined effective U.S. federal, state and foreign tax rate of 23.0% and 28.2%, respectively. The principal differences between the federal statutory tax rate and the effective tax rate consist primarily of state taxes, domestic tax credits, and tax differences on foreign earnings.

Results of Operations – Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021

Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased 20.7% to $622,602 from $515,785 for the comparable period in 2021. The increase in revenue reflects the general economic recovery, supply chain improvement in certain of our product classes, and realization of price increases during the third quarter of 2022. Net domestic sales increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 to $562,235 from $450,908 for the comparable period in 2021, while net foreign sales decreased to $60,367 from $64,877 during the same nine-month period.

Costs of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased 22.6% to $565,708 from $461,532 for the comparable period in 2021, primarily due to higher prices for components, parts scarcity resulting from supply chain challenges, and wage inflation. Costs of operations increased as a percentage of sales to 90.9%, compared to 89.5% for the comparable period in 2021, primarily due to the time lag in recognizing price increases through the backlog.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased to $39,710 from $35,053 for the comparable period in 2021 due to increased software licensing and personnel related costs. As a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 decreased to 6.4% from 6.8% in the comparable period in 2021.

Interest expense, net increased to $2,088 from $901 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the prior year period. Increases in interest expense, net were primarily due to increases in floor plan interest payments and increased borrowings on our credit facility.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 the Company experienced a net foreign currency exchange loss of $1,097, compared to a net loss of $427 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, reflecting foreign currency gains and losses on transactions denominated in a currency other than the local entity’s functional currency.

The provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 reflects a combined effective U.S. federal, state and foreign tax rate of 21.6% and 24.2%, respectively. The principal differences between the federal statutory tax rate and the effective tax rate consist primarily of state taxes, domestic tax credits, and tax differences on foreign earnings. Favorable tax adjustments in foreign jurisdictions drove the decrease in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash used in operating activities was $31,602 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to cash provided by operating activities of $7,036 in the comparable period in 2021. Cash provided by or used in operating activities is generally attributable to the receipt of payments from our customers as settlement of their contractual obligation once we have fulfilled all performance obligations related to our contracts with them. These cash receipts are netted with payments for purchases of inventory, materials used in manufacturing, and other

Table of Contents

expenses that are necessary in the ordinary course of our operations, such as utilities and taxes. The change in net cash flows from operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, in comparison to the nine months ended September 30, 2021, is primarily due to recent increases in inventory purchases associated with increased production levels and necessary to mitigate supply chain constraints, coupled with increases in receivables related to recent increases in sales.

Cash used in investing activities was $25,119 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $7,851 for the comparable period in 2021. The cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was for purchases of property, plant and equipment, including the purchase of an aircraft, fabrication equipment, and an additional facility in Ooltewah, TN to be used in the production of small carriers.

Cash provided by financing activities was $38,820 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to cash used in financing activities of $6,178 for the comparable period in 2021. Net cash flows from financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 resulted from advances from our credit facility with First Horizon Bank (as discussed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q) of $45,000, partially offset by the payment of cash dividends of $6,165 and an immaterial amount of payments on finance lease obligations. Net cash flows from financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 resulted from the payment of cash dividends of $6,162 and an immaterial amount of payments on finance lease obligations.

As of September 30, 2022, we had cash and temporary investments of $33,208, and an additional $5,000 in available borrowings under our existing credit facility. Subsequent to September 30, 2022 the available borrowings increased to $55,000 after the amendment to the existing facility which is discussed in “Credit Facilities and Other Obligations – Credit Facility” below. Our primary cash requirements include working capital, capital expenditures, the funding of any declared cash dividends and principal and interest payments on indebtedness. At September 30, 2022, the Company had commitments of approximately $5,616 for the acquisition of property, plant and equipment. At September 30, 2022, we also had a commitment of approximately $2,874 in software license fees related to the migration of our enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. During the implementation of additional modules for this project, we are conducting an examination of historical information to confirm accuracy of information being migrated to our new systems. Any adjustments identified and recorded as a result of the examination are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company.

We expect our primary sources of cash to be cash flows from operations, cash and temporary investments on hand at September 30, 2022 and borrowings under our credit facility as needed, including the increase of our existing unsecured credit facility as described above in Note 6 and below under “Credit Facilities and Other Obligations – Credit Facility.” We expect these sources to be sufficient to satisfy our cash needs for at least the next year. However, our ability to satisfy our cash needs will substantially depend upon several factors, including our future operating performance, taking into account the supply chain, economic and other factors discussed above and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control.

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, $18,394 and $28,983, respectively, of the Company’s cash and temporary investments were held by foreign subsidiaries and their holdings are generally based in the local currency.

Credit Facilities and Other Obligations

Credit Facility

Table of Contents

The Company had $45,000 and $0, respectively, in outstanding borrowings under the credit facility at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Other Long-Term Obligations

Prior to applying a discount rate to our lease liabilities, at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had approximately $1,020 and $1,328 in non-cancelable operating lease obligations, respectively, and $0 and $15 in non-cancelable finance lease obligations, respectively.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

In the normal course of our business, we are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates that could impact our results of operations and financial position.

Interest Rate Risk

Changes in interest rates affect the interest paid on indebtedness under the credit facility because outstanding amounts of indebtedness under the credit facility are subject to variable interest rates. Under the credit facility, the non-default rate of interest is equal to the LIBOR Market Index Rate plus 1.00% or 1.25% per annum, depending on the leverage ratio, for a rate of interest of 4.14% at September 30, 2022. A one percent change in the interest rate on our variable-rate debt would not have materially impacted our financial position, results of operations or cash flows as of and for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

We are subject to risk arising from changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to our international operations in Europe. We manage our exposure to our foreign currency exchange rate risk through our regular operating and financing activities. Additionally, from time to time, we enter into certain forward foreign currency exchange contracts.

Because we report in U.S. dollars on a consolidated basis, foreign currency exchange fluctuations have a translation impact on our financial position and results of operations. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized a $3,341 unrealized loss and a $5,621 unrealized loss, respectively, in our foreign currency translation equity adjustment account because of the fluctuations in valuation of the U.S. dollar against the Euro and British pound. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recognized a $1,501 unrealized loss and a $162 unrealized loss, respectively. These amounts were recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the impacts of foreign currency exchange rate changes on our results of operations and cash flows were net foreign currency exchange losses of $633 and $198, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the impacts of foreign currency exchange rate changes on our results of operations and cash flows were net foreign currency exchange losses of $1,097 and $427, respectively.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon this evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are, from time to time, a party to litigation arising in the normal course of our business. Litigation is subject to various inherent uncertainties, and it is possible that some of such matters could be resolved unfavorably to us, which could result in substantial damages against us. We establish accruals for matters that are probable and reasonably estimable and maintain product liability and other insurance that management believes to be adequate. Management believes that any liability that may ultimately result from the resolution of any such matters in excess of available insurance coverage and accruals will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Macroeconomic trends, including inflation and rising interest rates could adversely affect our business, results of operation or financial condition, as well as our customers’ ability to fund purchases of our products.

Global economic events and other factors, such as accommodative monetary and fiscal policy and the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, as we discussed in the Risk Factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, have contributed to significant inflation in many of the markets in which we operate. In order to combat inflation and restore price stability, the U.S. Federal Reserve and central banks worldwide have raised interest rates and are expected to keep increasing interest rates in 2022 and 2023. Increased inflation and interest rates may hinder the economic growth in the U.S. and in the global economy. This economic weakness in the economy and the possibility of a global recession has had, and may continue to have, a negative effect on our business and financial condition.

Further, the continued slowdown, or a recession, in the global economy or in a particular region or industry, inflation or a tightening of the credit markets could negatively impact our business, financial condition and liquidity, including our (as well as our customers’ and end users’) ability to continue to access preferred sources of liquidity, and our and their borrowing costs could increase.

In addition to the risk factor set forth above, you should read and consider the risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC for the year ended December 31, 2021, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, or future results of operation. The risks described in such report are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may eventually prove to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and/or future operating results.
