MILWAUKEE, Wis., Oct. 28, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Douglas Dynamics, Inc. (NYSE: PLOW), North America’s premier manufacturer and upfitter of work truck attachments and equipment, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024.
Jim Janik, Chairman, Interim President, and CEO, noted, “Overall, our results this quarter were generally in line with our expectations. Our Henderson operations are outperforming this year, helping to drive strong improvements for the quarter in Solutions. Difficult as it was, our decision to implement the 2024 Cost Savings Program at the start of the year is now proving to be the right strategy as the elongated equipment replacement cycle becomes clearer. We firmly believe the actions taken mean that our Attachments segment is well positioned to succeed over the medium- to long-term in all market conditions. We are proud of the resilience demonstrated by our team and their focus on our customers, as we continue to build for the future.”
Consolidated Third Quarter 2024 Results
$ in millions (except Margins & EPS) | Q3 2024 | Q3 2023 | ||
Net Sales | $129.4 | $144.1 | ||
Gross Profit Margin | 23.9 | % | 22.3 | % |
Income from Operations | $45.9 | $11.5 | ||
Net Income | $32.3 | $5.8 | ||
Diluted EPS | $1.36 | $0.24 | ||
Adjusted EBITDA | $15.3 | $17.3 | ||
Adjusted EBITDA Margin | 11.8% | % | 12.0 | % |
Adjusted Net Income | $5.9 | $6.0 | ||
Adjusted Diluted EPS | $0.24 | $0.25 |
- Net sales were $129.4 million for the third quarter 2024, compared to $144.1 million in the same period last year. The decrease is a result of low snowfall in the previous snow seasons leading to lower volumes at Attachments partially offset by price realization at Solutions.
- Gross profit for the third quarter of 2024 was $30.9 million, compared to $32.1 million for the third quarter of 2023. Gross profit margin increased 160 basis points to 23.9% for the third quarter of 2024 from 22.3% in the same period of 2023, due to higher price realization and the impact of the 2024 Cost Savings Program.
- On September 11, 2024, the Company announced a sale leaseback transaction of seven facilities valued at $64.2 million. The net gain was $42.3 million, and the proceeds were primarily used to pay down term loan debt.
- As a reminder, the 2024 Cost Savings Program is expected to deliver $11 - 12 million in sustainable annualized savings, $9 million of which is expected to be realized in 2024.
- Selling, general and administrative expenses were $25.7 million, or $20.4 million excluding costs associated with the sale leaseback transaction, for the third quarter of 2024. This compares to $18.0 million for the same period of 2023. The remaining increase of $2.4 million is primarily related to CEO transition costs and higher incentive-based compensation.
- The effective tax rate was 22.7% and 16.4% for the third quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively. The tax rate increased due to the purchase of investment tax credits in the prior period.
- Net income for the third quarter was $32.3 million compared to $5.8 million in the same period of the previous year. Adjusted net income for the third quarter was $5.9 million compared to $6.0 million for the third quarter of 2023.
- Adjusted EBITDA decreased to $15.3 million for the third quarter 2024, compared to $17.3 million in the corresponding period of 2023, due to low snowfall in the previous two snow seasons leading to lower volumes at Attachments, which was partly offset by price increase realization, and improved efficiencies at Solutions.
Work Truck Attachments Segment Third Quarter 2024 Results
$ in millions (except Adjusted EBITDA Margin) | Q3 2024 | Q3 2023 | ||
Net Sales | $60.2 | $75.9 | ||
Adjusted EBITDA | $8.1 | $12.3 | ||
Adjusted EBITDA Margin | 13.5 | % | 16.2 | % |
- Net sales were $60.2 million for the quarter, slightly lower than expected based on lower reorder volumes and product mix.
- Adjusted EBITDA was affected by the same factors, which were partially offset by the 2024 Cost Savings Program.
- Attachments results continue to be impacted by two consecutive years of significantly below average snowfall in core markets, which created an elongated equipment replacement cycle and led to lower order volumes.
- As expected, the ratio of pre-season shipments in 2024 was 65:35 between the second and third quarters.
- The 2024 Cost Savings Program has helped preserve profitability, with Adjusted EBITDA margins close to 20% on a year-to-date basis.
Janik explained, “We fully expected our pre-season orders to be impacted by the lack of snowfall in recent winters, and the second and third quarters tracked just slightly below our overall predictions. On a year-to-date basis, our results are below last year, but with higher adjusted EBITDA margins close to 20%. We are talking with our dealers and monitoring order patterns and will be ready to ramp up production as needed as we work through the elongated equipment replacement cycle. We have adjusted our operations to match current market conditions and will continue to prudently invest in upgrading our manufacturing capabilities.”
Work Truck Solutions Segment Third Quarter 2024 Results
$ in millions (except Adjusted EBITDA Margin) | Q3 2024 | Q3 2023 | ||
Net Sales | $69.1 | $68.2 | ||
Adjusted EBITDA | $7.2 | $5.0 | ||
Adjusted EBITDA Margin | 10.4 | % | 7.3 | % |
- Work Truck Solutions delivered strong results with Net Sales of $69.1 million, relatively flat to last year, with volumes slightly down, offset by higher price realization.
- Adjusted EBITDA increased 44% to $7.2 million, with margins of 10.4%, a 310-basis point improvement, and the highest third quarter margin on record. The improvements were based on price increase realization, and improved efficiencies, primarily at Henderson.
Janik noted, “We are pleased with the ongoing improvements in our Solutions businesses, which generated record third quarter results this quarter. The profitability shown this quarter exceeded our expectations. Results were also strong on a year-to-date basis, with Adjusted EBITDA margins more than doubling to 9.5% when compared to the previous year. These results continue to validate the progress we are making towards our growth and profitability goals, which are very much achievable over the near- to medium-term.”
Dividend & Liquidity
- On a year-to-date basis, Net cash used in operating activities decreased $30.9 million in 2024 compared to 2023. The improvement relates to favorable changes in working capital, including decreases in cash used in accounts payable, accounts receivable, and inventory.
- Free cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was ($37.3) million compared to ($71.9) million in the corresponding period in 2023. The increase of $34.6 million is primarily a result of lower cash used in operating activities.
- Proceeds from the sale leaseback transaction favorably impacted cash provided by investing activities by $64.2 million. Proceeds of $42.0 million were used in financing activities to voluntarily prepay long-term debt.
- As of September 30, 2024, we had $90.9 million of total liquidity, comprised of $8.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and $82.5 million of borrowing availability under our revolving credit facility.
- The previously amended leverage ratio covenant under our credit agreement returned to 3.5X on September 30, 2024. Following the voluntary pre-payment of debt during the quarter, the Company’s leverage ratio at the end of the third quarter was 2.6X.
- A quarterly cash dividend of $0.295 per share of the Company's common stock was paid on September 30, 2024, to stockholders of record on September 16, 2024.
2024 Outlook
Sarah Lauber, Executive Vice President, and CFO explained, “The recent strong performance and positive near-term outlook for Work Truck Solutions means that segment is poised to deliver improved full year results for the third year in a row. Work Truck Attachments performance remains constrained by the elongated replacement cycle, but our manufacturing operations are well aligned to current market conditions. Therefore, we are moving our Net Sales guidance range slightly lower and reducing the top end of our 2024 Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS guidance ranges.”
2024 financial outlook:
- Net Sales are now expected to be between $570 million and $600 million, versus the previous range of $600 to $640 million.
- Adjusted EBITDA is now predicted to range from $70 million to $80 million, versus the previous range of $70 to $90 million.
- Adjusted Earnings Per Share is now expected to be in the range of $1.20 per share to $1.60 per share, versus the previous range of $1.20 to $1.70.
- The effective tax rate is expected to be approximately 24% to 25%.
The 2024 financial outlook assumes the following:
- Relatively stable economic conditions.
- Stable to slightly improving supply of chassis and components.
- Core markets will experience average snowfall in the fourth quarter of 2024.
With respect to the Company’s 2024 guidance, the Company is not able to provide a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP because it does not provide specific guidance for the various extraordinary, nonrecurring, or unusual charges and other certain items. These items have not yet occurred, are out of the Company’s control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. As a result, reconciliation of the non-GAAP guidance measures to GAAP is not available without unreasonable effort and the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains financial information calculated other than in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). The non-GAAP measures used in this press release are Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share, and Free Cash Flow. The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors and other external users of its consolidated financial statements in evaluating the Company’s operating performance as compared to that of other companies. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the nearest comparable GAAP measures can be found immediately following the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows included in this press release.
Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, as further adjusted for certain charges consisting of unrelated legal and consulting fees, stock-based compensation, severance, restructuring charges, CEO transition costs, insurance proceeds, gain on sale leaseback transaction and related transaction costs, and impairment charges. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA in evaluating the Company’s operating performance because it provides the Company and its investors with additional tools to compare its operating performance on a consistent basis by removing the impact of certain items that management believes do not directly reflect the Company’s core operations. The Company’s management also uses Adjusted EBITDA for planning purposes, including the preparation of its annual operating budget and financial projections, and to evaluate the Company’s ability to make certain payments, including dividends, in compliance with its senior credit facilities, which is determined based on a calculation of “Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA” that is substantially similar to Adjusted EBITDA.
Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share (calculated on a diluted basis) represents net income and earnings per share (as defined by GAAP), excluding the impact of stock based compensation, severance, restructuring charges, CEO transition costs, insurance proceeds, gain on sale leaseback transaction and related transaction costs, impairment charges, certain charges related to unrelated legal fees and consulting fees, and adjustments on derivatives not classified as hedges, net of their income tax impact. Adjustments on derivatives not classified as hedges are non-cash and are related to overall financial market conditions; therefore, management believes such costs are unrelated to our business and are not representative of our results. Management believes that Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share are useful in assessing the Company’s financial performance by eliminating expenses and income that are not reflective of the underlying business performance.
Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less net cash used in investing activities. Free Cash Flow should be evaluated in addition to, and not considered a substitute for, other financial measures such as Net Income and Net Cash Provided By (Used in) Operating Activities. We believe that free cash flow represents our ability to generate additional cash flow from our business operations.
