The earnings call highlighted significant growth in adjusted EBITDA and improvements in gross margins, alongside strong performance in the Rental segment and successful debt reduction efforts. However, challenges such as slowed order intake, a decline in backlog, and a lowered full-year revenue guidance indicate some cautionary trends due to macroeconomic factors like interest rates.
Company Guidance
During the Manitex International Q2 2024 earnings call, CEO Michael Coffey provided comprehensive guidance, highlighting a robust second quarter performance driven by the company's Elevating Excellence strategy. Manitex achieved nearly 20% year-over-year growth in adjusted EBITDA, reaching 10.6% of revenues, with a trailing 12-month adjusted EBITDA of approximately $33 million. Despite challenges from high interest rates affecting order intake and backlog levels, Manitex remains confident in its long-term market drivers and is actively expanding its dealer network. The Rental segment saw a 15% revenue increase, while the Lifting Equipment segment grew by 2%, driven by North American operations. Gross margins improved by 220 basis points year-over-year, thanks to increased manufacturing throughput and lower material costs. However, due to recent order trends, the company lowered its 2024 revenue guidance to $290-$300 million but maintained its adjusted EBITDA outlook of $30-$34 million. CFO Joseph Doolan added that net revenue for Q2 was $76.2 million, a 3.7% increase from the previous year, with improved operating income and margins. Net debt reduction and strong cash flow were also emphasized as part of the company's disciplined financial management.
Strong Adjusted EBITDA Growth
Adjusted EBITDA grew nearly 20% year-over-year, with a margin expansion of 137 basis points to 10.6% of revenues.
