Fourth Quarter Net Income of $10,321,000 or $0.48 Per Diluted Common Share

WOOD DALE, Ill., Feb. 26, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Power Solutions International, Inc. (Nasdaq:PSIX), a leader in the design, engineering and manufacture of emissions-certified alternative-fuel and conventional power systems, today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2014.

Fourth Quarter 2014 Results

Net sales for the fourth quarter of 2014 were $103,910,000, an increase of 69% from $61,500,000 in the fourth quarter of 2013 and an 11% sequential increase from $93,972,000 in the third quarter of 2014. Contributing to the sales increase was continued growth across all of the Company's major end markets including heavy-duty power generation systems, material handling and aftermarket parts sales. Also contributing to net sales in the period were sales of approximately $6.9 million of integrated generator systems from Professional Power Products, Inc. ("3PI"), which was acquired on April 1, 2014.

Operating income was $9,111,000, an increase of 132% from $3,925,000 in the fourth quarter of 2013, and a sequential increase of 21% from $7,519,000 in the third quarter of 2014. Operating margin of 8.8% in the current quarter compares to 6.4% in the comparable prior year period and 8.0% in the third quarter of 2014.

"Our strong performance in the fourth quarter concludes a year of substantial growth and achievement for PSI," stated Gary Winemaster, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Power Solutions. "During 2014, we grew our sales 46%, expanded our gross and operating margins and grew adjusted EPS 53% to $1.41 per share. We expanded the applications for our heavy duty generator engines, announced two major supply agreements in material handling and on-road and completed the acquisition of 3PI. We believe PSI is well-positioned for sustainable growth in the years to come. We remain focused on building products and relationships to capitalize on the global trend toward alternative fuels."

Other income for the fourth quarter includes a non-cash gain of $4,979,000 resulting from a decrease in the estimated fair value of the liability associated with the warrants issued in the Company's April 2011 private placement. In addition, other income for the fourth quarter also includes a non-cash gain of $58,000 ($35,000 after tax with no material impact per diluted common share) resulting from a decrease in the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration liability recorded in connection with the acquisition of 3PI.

Net income for the fourth quarter of 2014, which includes the warrant revaluation adjustment and contingent consideration revaluation, was $10,321,000, or $0.48 per diluted common share. This compares to a net loss of $3,752,000 or $0.36 per diluted common share for the fourth quarter of 2013, which includes a warrant revaluation adjustment.

Net income for the fourth quarter of 2014, adjusted to remove the warrant revaluation impact and contingent consideration revaluation, was $5,307,000, or $0.48 per diluted common share. This compares to adjusted net income for the fourth quarter of 2013 of $2,621,000, or $0.24 per diluted common share, which has been adjusted to remove the warrant revaluation impact.

The Company believes supplementing its consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP with non-GAAP measures provides investors with useful information regarding the Company's short-term and long-term trends. Adjusted net income is derived from GAAP results by excluding the non-cash impact related to the change in the estimated fair value of the liability associated with the warrants issued in the Company's April 2011 private placement. The Company excludes this non-operating, non-cash impact, as the Company believes it is not indicative of its core operating results or future performance. The warrant revaluation results from facts and circumstances that fluctuate in impact and is excluded by management in its forecast and evaluation of the Company's operational performance. Adjusted earnings per diluted common share is also derived from GAAP results by excluding the non-cash impact, even when antidilutive, related to the change in the estimated fair value of the liability associated with the warrants. Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per diluted common share for 2014 include an adjustment to remove the revaluation of the contingent consideration liability recorded in connection with the Company's acquisition of 3PI, which was completed on April 1, 2014. The Company believes that this non-cash item, similar to the warrant related impact on earnings, is not indicative of the Company's core operating results or future performance. These costs are excluded by management in its forecast and evaluation of the Company's operational performance. Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per diluted common share also include an adjustment to remove transaction costs incurred in association with the Company's acquisition of 3PI in 2014 and loss on debt extinguishment associated with a change in the Company's change to a new credit facility in 2013. The Company believes that these costs are not indicative of the Company's core operating results or future performance. These costs are excluded by management in its forecast and evaluation of the Company's operational performance.

Adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per diluted common share and other non-GAAP financial measures used and presented by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. Investors should consider non-GAAP measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or as superior to, financial performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
