NN, INC. REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2017 RESULTS

Johnson City, TN, November 1, 2017 –NN, Inc., (NASDAQ: NNBR), a diversified industrial company, today reported its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2017.

GAAP Results

Net sales for the third quarter of 2017 increased $1.5 million, or 1.0%, to $148.2 million, compared to $146.7 million for the third quarter of 2016. Growth in the medical, aerospace and automotive end markets accounted for the increase.

On a GAAP basis, income from operations for the third quarter of 2017 was $6.3 million, compared to $13.0 million for the same period in 2016. Income (loss) from continuing operations on a GAAP basis for third quarter of 2017 was ($3.4 million). This compares to income (loss) from continuing operations of $0.3 million in the third quarter of 2016.

On a GAAP basis, income from operations for third quarter 2017 in the Autocam Precision Components Group was $6.8 million compared to $8.5 million for the same period in 2016.

On a GAAP basis, income from operations for third quarter 2017 in the Precision Engineered Products Group was $7.9 million compared to $9.9 million for the same period in 2016.

Adjusted Results

Adjusted income from operations for the third quarter of 2017 was $15.4 million, compared to $19.9 million for the same period in 2016.

Richard Holder, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Overall operating performance in the quarter was negatively impacted by severe weather events that occurred during the period. These impacts created mix issues which had a negative impact on margins. We expect these to return to normal in the fourth quarter.”

Business Group Results

Autocam Precision Components

Net sales for the third quarter of 2017 were $81.7 million, compared to $80.5 million in the third quarter of 2016, an increase of 1.5% or $1.2 million. Growth related to our Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) automotive business accounted for the increase. Adjusted income from operations for the quarter decreased $1.4 million to $9.7 million, compared to $11.1 million in the third quarter of 2016.

Mr. Holder commented, “Autocam continues to take share and outgrow its CAFE end market. During the quarter we had several program wins that required immediate investments due to the short project launch requirements. These investments had a small near term impact on their profitability.”

Precision Engineered Products

Net sales for the third quarter of 2017 were $66.5 million, compared to $66.2 million in the third quarter of 2016, an increase of $0.3 million. Adjusted income from operations for the quarter was $13.3 million, compared to $15.2 million in 2016.

Mr. Holder commented, “The impacts of the hurricanes during the third quarter had a negative effect on our profitability as we were unable to ship to several of our customers. We expect this to resolve in the fourth quarter.”

Mr. Holder concluded, “The third quarter was another transformative period for the organization as we divested our PBC business. Additionally, our performance this quarter was negatively impacted by weather delays within the business. We expect these anomalies to our performance to normalize in the fourth quarter.”

Reconciliation of GAAP Income from Operations to Non-GAAP Adjusted Income from Operations

The Company discloses in this presentation the non-GAAP financial measures of adjusted income from operations and Non-GAAP adjusted operating margin. Each of these non-GAAP financial measures provide supplementary information about the impacts of acquisition, divestiture and integration related expenses, foreign-exchange impacts on inter-company loans reorganizational and impairment charges. Over the past four years, we have completed seven acquisitions, two of which were transformative for the Company, and sold two of our businesses. The costs we incurred in completing such acquisitions, including the amortization of intangibles and deferred financing costs, and these divestitures have been excluded from these measures because their size and inconsistent frequency are unrelated to our commercial performance during the period, and which we believe are not indicative of our ongoing operating costs. We exclude the impact of currency translation from these measures because foreign exchange rates are not under management’s control and are subject to volatility. Other non-operating charges such as, the write-off of our interest rate swap, are excluded as the charges on not indicative of our ongoing operating cost. We believe the presentation of adjusted income from operations and adjusted operating margin provide useful information in assessing our underlying business trends and facilitates comparison of our long-term performance over given periods.

The non-GAAP financial measures provided herein may not provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other companies in the Company’s industry, as other companies may calculate such financial results differently. The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures are not measurements of financial performance under GAAP, and should not be considered as alternatives to actual income growth derived from income amounts presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company does not consider these non-GAAP financial measures to be a substitute for, or superior to, the information provided by GAAP financial results.

(a) Non-GAAP Adjusted income from operations, represents GAAP income from operations, adjusted to exclude the effects of restructuring and integration expense, non-operational charges related to acquisition, divestiture and restructuring and integration costs, intangible amortization costs for fair value step-up in values related to acquisitions, and when applicable, our share of income from joint venture operations. We believe this presentation is commonly used by investors and professional research analysts in the valuation, comparison, rating and investment recommendations of companies in the industrial industry. We use this information for comparative purposes within the industry. Non-GAAP adjusted income from operations, is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as a measure of liquidity or as an alternative to GAAP income from operations.
