- Adjusted net income* for the third quarter of 2022 was $1.0 million or $0.05 per share, compared to a loss of $(0.2) million or ($0.01) per share in last year's same quarter;
- Adjusted EBITDA* increased to $5.2 million, or 8.0% of net sales;

- Quarter-end net debt was $85.6 million and the Company had $32 million in liquidity as of 9/30/2022.
*Q3 2022 consolidated results reflect the inclusion of Rabern Rentals.

Subsequent to Quarter End:
- Announced new President of North American Manufacturing
- Announced new North American distribution strategy for Valla and Oil & Steel product lines
"We continue to see improvement in our business performance, as reflected by the increases in net revenues, gross margins, Adjusted EBITDA margins and a backlog that continued to expand at roughly the same pace of our sales," said Michael Coffey, CEO of Manitex International. "We reported Adjusted EBITDA of 8% of sales in the quarter, the third consecutive quarterly increase, and our objective to reach and surpass 10% is within sight."
"Last quarter, we implemented measures to increase efficiency and improve margins. We are working closely with our supply chain and the measures taken are producing results. Gross profit margins were 19.0% in the quarter, on operational initiatives designed to improve production yields from manufacturing and the contributions of Rabern Rentals. We are pleased with the results and anticipate further incremental improvements into next year.
"Rabern Rentals is performing well-ahead of plan and is on track to achieve record sales and Adjusted EBITDA this year. Local demand in Amarillo and Lubbock, Texas remains strong. Our expansion plans to open our fourth branch will be completed on schedule.
"Our balance sheet reflects growth in manufacturing inventories and new equipment for our rental fleet. We have increased the utilization of our debt facilities to meet long-term material orders placed in mid-2021, while finalizing rental fleet acquisitions associated with our Lubbock expansion. With $32 million in available credit, and leverage ratios that are well within industry norms, we have the short-term resources to meet current demand and anticipate our starting to pay down debt in Q4 of 2022."
On a forward looking basis, we anticipate a strong finish to the year, hallmarked with continued revenue growth. We expect to realize benefits from more favorably priced backlog, scheduled for delivery during the next few quarters. We further expect to start achieving healthy levels of debt reduction. Our inventory levels are consistent with current backlog and production rates and our rental fleet size has grown to meet short term forecasts," concluded Mr. Coffey.
Financial Results for the Third Quarter ended September 30, 2022
Net revenues increased $14.1 million or 27.7% to $65.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 from $50.9 million for the comparable period in 2021. The increase in revenues is primarily due to the acquisition of Rabern and increases in sales of straight mast cranes by the Company's U.S. subsidiaries. Increases in sales of knuckle boom cranes by the Company's foreign subsidiaries were offset by foreign currency changes of $4.6 million.
Net loss was $3.1 million, or $(0.15) per share for the third quarter compared with net loss of $1.1 million, or $(0.06) in the same period last year. Adjusting for non-recurring items, including legal settlement charges, restructuring and acquisition expenses, adjusted net income was $1.0 million, or $0.05 per share for the third quarter of 2022 compared with a net loss of $0.2 million, or $(0.01) per share in last year's same period.
The company's Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter was $5.2 million, or 8.0% of sales compared with $1.6 million, or 3.1% of sales in last year's same period. Rabern Rentals, which was acquired during the second quarter of 2022, is having a significant positive impact on the company's margin performance, as anticipated.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Items
In this press release, we refer 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 condensed 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. A reconciliation of Adjusted GAAP financial measures is included with this press release. Results of operations reflect continuing operations. All per share amounts are on a fully diluted basis. The amounts described below are unaudited, are reported in thousands of U.S. dollars, and are as of the dates indicated.
