WOOD DALE, Ill., Nov. 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Power Solutions International, Inc. (the “Company” or “PSI”) (OTC Pink: PSIX), a leader in the design, engineering and manufacture of emission-certified engines and power systems, reported its financial results for the third quarter 2024.

Financial Highlights

($ in millions, except per share amounts) Quarter Ended
September 30, 2024 September 30, 2023 Change
Net sales $125.8 $115.9 9%
Gross Profit $36.4 $27.9 31%
Net Income $17.3 $7.8 122%
Diluted Earnings per Share $0.75 $0.34 $0.41


Today, Power Solutions International, Inc., reported strong profit for the three months ended September 30, 2024, with net income of $17.3 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.75, compared to net income of $7.8 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.34 for the third quarter of 2023.

Dino Xykis, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We continued to deliver strong profit in the third quarter, driven by higher sales from our power systems business, including contributions from the expanding data center sector, along with ongoing operational excellence. To meet growing customer demand, our team is actively working on several projects to expand manufacturing capacity. The Company also is committed to efficiently managing expenses, including streamlining operating expenses and prioritizing certain R&D investments in support of long-term growth objectives.”

Kenneth Li, Chief Financial Officer, commented, “During the quarter, we successfully completed the refinancing of our debt with a new credit facility. This strategic facility provides access to up to $120.0 million at a more competitive interest rate, enhancing our financial flexibility. Additionally, the Company also entered into a new shareholder's loan agreement with Weichai, which allows the Company to borrow up to $105.0 million. These steps position us to accelerate growth, improve operational performance, and optimize our capital structure. As always, we remain committed to identifying opportunities to grow profit and deliver increasing value to our shareholders.”

Net sales for the third quarter of 2024 were $125.8 million, an increase of $10.0 million, or 9%, compared to the third quarter of 2023, as a result of higher sales of $23.7 million in the power systems end market, offset by a decrease of $7.6 million and $6.2 million within the industrial and transportation end markets, respectively. This shift in markets reflects the conscious strategic prioritization towards higher growth markets such as data centers as well as oil and gas products and away from more mature markets such as truck and school bus. As part of the Company's prioritization of the rapidly expanding Data Center sector, we are focused on improving and increasing our manufacturing capacity and capabilities to meet and exceed our customers’ evolving demand for our products. Decreased industrial end market sales are primarily due to decreases in demand for products used within the material handling and arbor care markets, as well as the direct effects of enforcement of the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (“UFLPA”), which limited the Company’s ability to import certain raw materials in early 2024.

Gross profit of $36.4 million increased by $8.5 million, or 31%, during the third quarter of 2024 as compared to $27.9 million in the same period in the prior year. Gross margin in the third quarter of 2024 was 28.9%, an increase of 4.8 percentage points compared to 24.1% in the same period last year, primarily due to improved mix, pricing actions, higher operating efficiencies, and lower warranty costs attributable to the Company's sales shift away from some of our transportation customers.

Research and development expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were $4.7 million and $4.8 million, respectively.

Selling, general and administrative expenses of $11.0 million increased $0.4 million, or 3%, during the third quarter of 2024 by $0.4 million, or 3%, compared to the same period in the prior year, due to higher executive compensation offset by lower legal expenses.

Interest expense was $2.8 million in the third quarter of 2024 as compared to $4.2 million in the same period in the prior year, largely due to reduced outstanding debt, partially offset by higher overall effective interest rates.

Net income was $17.3 million, or net income per share of $0.75 in the third quarter of 2024, compared to net income of $7.8 million, or net earnings per share of $0.34 for the third quarter of 2023.

Balance Sheet Update

On August 30, 2024, the Company completed its refinancing, securing a new uncommitted secured revolving credit agreement. This agreement provides the Company with access to up to $120.0 million at a more favorable interest rate, with a maturity date of August 30, 2025. The Company’s total debt was approximately $135.2 million at September 30, 2024, while cash and cash equivalents were approximately $40.5 million. This compares to total debt of approximately $145.2 million and cash and cash equivalents of approximately $22.8 million at December 31, 2023. Included in the Company’s total debt at September 30, 2024, were borrowings of $100.0 million under the Uncommitted Revolving Credit Agreement with Standard Chartered Bank and two other lenders, and borrowings of $35.0 million, under the Shareholder's Loan Agreement, with Weichai America Corp., its majority stockholder, as described in more detail in the Company's Form 10-Q.

Stockholders' Equity was $42.1 million as of September 30, 2024 compared to a deficit of $3.9 million as of December 31, 2023. The growth of stockholders' equity to a positive level was driven by substantially improved profitability.

Outlook for 2024

The Company expects its net sales in 2024 to increase by approximately 3% versus 2023 levels, a result of expectations for strong growth in the power systems end market paired with lower sales in the industrial end market and a forecasted reduction in the transportation end markets. Notwithstanding this outlook, which is being driven in part by expectations for continuous improvement in supply chain dynamics, including timelier availability of parts and a continuation of favorable economic conditions within the United States and across the Company’s various markets, the Company cautions that significant uncertainty remains as a result of supply chain challenges, inflationary costs, commodity volatility, and the impact on the global economy of the war in Ukraine and Israel, among other factors.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the results provided in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) above, this press release also includes non-GAAP (adjusted) financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures provide insight into selected financial information and should be evaluated in the context in which they are presented. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with U.S. GAAP, and non-GAAP financial measures as reported by the Company may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts reported by other companies. The non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, including the related notes, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations within the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. Management does not use these non-GAAP financial measures for any purpose other than the reasons stated below.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure Comparable GAAP Financial Measure
Adjusted net income Net income
Adjusted net income per share – diluted Net income per share – diluted
EBITDA Net income
Adjusted EBITDA Net income


The Company believes that Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per share – diluted, EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA provide relevant and useful information, which is widely used by analysts, investors and competitors in its industry as well as by the Company’s management in assessing the performance of the Company. Adjusted net income is defined as net income as adjusted for certain items that the Company believes are not indicative of its ongoing operating performance. Adjusted net income per share – diluted is a measure of the Company’s diluted earnings per common share adjusted for the impact of special items. EBITDA provides the Company with an understanding of earnings before the impact of investing and financing charges and income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA further excludes the effects of other non-cash charges and certain other items that do not reflect the ordinary earnings of the Company’s operations.

Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per share – diluted, EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA are used by management for various purposes, including as a measure of performance of the Company’s operations and as a basis for strategic planning and forecasting. Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per share – diluted, and Adjusted EBITDA may be useful to an investor because these measures are widely used to evaluate companies’ operating performance without regard to items excluded from the calculation of such measures, which can vary substantially from company to company depending on the accounting methods, the book value of assets, the capital structure and the method by which the assets were acquired, among other factors. They are not, however, intended as alternative measures of operating results or cash flow from operations as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
