Mayville Engineering cuts FY24 revenue view to $580M-$590M from $620M-$640M

Consensus $631.4M. Lowers FY24 adjusted EBITDA view to $63M-$66M from $72M-$76M. Given third quarter softness in customer demand, we have reduced our full year 2024 net sales and Adjusted EBITDA guidance by 7% and 13%, respectively, at the midpoint of the range,” stated Reddy. “Our guidance accounts for reduced order activity during the second half of 2024, partially offset by recent cost actions, operational excellence initiatives, and commercial wins. As end customer equipment financing rates decline over the coming quarters, we anticipate a corresponding normalization in customer order activity and broader-end market demand beginning in the first half of 2025. While our third quarter performance was below expectations, we continue to advance initiatives to grow market share across our key vertical markets, while deploying operational rigor across the organization, consistent with the strategy outlined at our Investor Day. These actions, together with realized synergies from our MSA acquisition, position us to achieve our 2026 financial targets of $750 million to $850 million of net sales and Adjusted EBITDA margins of between 14% and 16%. As previously announced, we settled an ongoing legal dispute with one of our former customers, which resulted in MEC receiving a gross cash settlement of $25.5 million in the fourth quarter of this year,” said Reddy. “I am pleased with this outcome, and I am grateful for the hard work of our team in helping us resolve this matter in a way that benefits all stakeholders. We will utilize some of the proceeds of the settlement to pay down debt and a portion of the proceeds for share repurchases. Our strengthening financial position will allow us to further focus on the execution of our long-term strategy going forward. Our strong, consistent free cash flow generation continues to provide us with significant balance sheet optionality. Exiting the third quarter, our net leverage stood at 1.6x, well within our targeted range of 1.5 to 2.0x, while total cash and availability on our credit facility was more than $135 million. We remain highly disciplined in our approach to capital allocation, prioritizing debt repayment, opportunistic share repurchases, and accretive strategic acquisitions with compelling synergy potential. Entering the next demand cycle, MEC remains focused on targeted organic and inorganic expansion within high-value, emerging growth markets that position us to create long-term value for both our shareholders and customers.”
