WOOD DALE, Ill., Nov. 09, 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 third quarter ended September 30, 2015.

Third Quarter 2015 Results

Net sales for the third quarter of 2015 were $112,008,000, an increase of 19% from $93,972,000 in the third quarter of 2014 and an 18% sequential increase from $94,629,000 in the second quarter of 2015.  The sales increase was driven by revenue in the quarter of approximately $17.7 million from Powertrain Integration, LLC, acquired on May 19, 2015 and approximately $1.2 million from Buck’s Engines, LP, acquired on March 18, 2015.

Operating income of $1,388,000 in the current quarter compares to $7,519,000 in the third quarter of 2014 and $4,475,000 in the second quarter of 2015.  Operating margin of 1.2% in the current quarter compares to 8.0% in the comparable prior year period and 4.7% in the second quarter of 2015. 

Operating expense in the third quarter of 2015 includes transaction costs of approximately $263,000 ($158,000 after tax or $0.01 per diluted common share) incurred in connection with the acquisitions made in the prior quarter.  Excluding transaction costs related to acquisitions, operating margin was 1.5% in the third quarter of 2015 and 5.0% in the second quarter of 2015.  Operating expense in the third quarter of 2014 did not include any transaction costs.

Other (income) expense for the third quarter of 2015 includes non-cash income of $8,750,000 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.

Net income for the third quarter of 2015, which includes the warrant revaluation adjustment, contingent consideration revaluation and transaction costs, was $9,109,000, or $0.03 per diluted common share.  This compares to net income of $7,148,000 or $0.56 per diluted common share for the third quarter of 2014, which included a warrant revaluation adjustment and contingent consideration revaluation.

Net income for the third quarter of 2015, adjusted to remove the warrant revaluation impact, contingent consideration revaluation and transaction costs, was $487,000, or $0.04 per diluted common share.  This compares to adjusted net income for the third quarter of 2014 of $4,365,000, or $0.39 per diluted common share, which has been adjusted to remove the warrant revaluation impact and contingent consideration revaluation.

“This quarter was marked by both impressive achievements and opportunities for improvement,” commented Gary Winemaster, Chief Executive Officer of PSI.  “We recorded the highest quarterly revenue in our history, and expanded our product portfolio through our own R&D effort and via our recent acquisitions.  Our margins, however, were pressured by manufacturing inefficiencies incurred while supporting this growth, and by the losses at our 3PI subsidiary.  We have identified specific improvement actions and are putting measures in place to resolve these issues.”

Winemaster continued, “Although in the near-term we are facing headwinds in the industries in which we participate, we have never been more enthusiastic about our long-term outlook.  We see solid growth next year in a variety of vehicle types, including school buses, RVs, and medium duty trucks to name a few.  In addition, activity in China has accelerated and we continue to invest to capture a number of design-in opportunities.  I am confident that we are well-positioned for the future.”

Winemaster added, “We encourage the investment community to attend our inaugural Analyst and Investor Day next week at our headquarters in Wood Dale.  It is a great opportunity to meet the operating managers who are working hard to fulfill our vision, and to see first-hand the broad portfolio of equipment and vehicles powered by our engines.”

Fourth Quarter 2015 and Full Year Outlook

The Company now expects fourth quarter 2015 revenue to be in the range of $100 million to $110 million, which would result in full year revenue of approximately $400 million.  The reduced full year guidance reflects continued challenging market conditions in the oil and gas end market.

The Company cautions that its outlook reflects its current assessment of a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the timing of new products, the Company’s ability to integrate new acquisitions, oil and gas pricing and the impact of global economic conditions on demand growth in its current markets. Please see the "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" below for additional risk factors.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations

As used herein, “GAAP” refers to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.  The Company uses certain numerical measures in this press release which are or may be considered “Non-GAAP financial measures” under Regulation G.  The Company has provided below for your reference supplemental financial disclosure for these measures, including the most directly comparable GAAP measures and associated reconciliations.

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 also include an adjustment to remove transaction related costs in 2015 and the revaluation of contingent consideration in 2015 and 2014, both recorded in association with acquisition activity. 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.
