MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

“We closed fiscal 2025 with strong momentum within our Data Center & Critical Power end market, securing $15 million of incremental project awards during the fourth quarter, strengthening our 2026 orderbook,” said Jag Reddy, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We also continued to expand our qualified opportunity pipeline in this end market, which now exceeds $125 million and includes multiple large opportunities with critical power OEMs and hyperscalers tied to data center infrastructure investments. Looking ahead to 2026, we expect Accu-Fab cross-selling synergies to generate approximately $40 to $50 million of revenue, positioning Data Center & Critical Power to represent more than 20% of MEC’s revenue. Our teams remain intensely focused on disciplined execution as these programs progress from award to launch.”

“While demand conditions across several legacy end markets remain soft, we remain focused on operational discipline, MBX-driven cost management, and working capital performance,” Reddy continued. “To provide investors with better visibility into business trends in light of the fast-moving Data Center & Critical Power environment and developing improvements within our legacy end markets, we are introducing quarterly guidance in addition to full-year guidance.”

“From a profitability perspective, our fourth quarter results reflect margin pressure associated with temporary launch-phase dynamics across projects in our Data Center & Critical Power and Commercial Vehicle end markets,” Reddy added. “We expect this margin pressure to persist in the near-term, ahead of initial Data Center & Critical Power program launches. As these programs ramp and volumes scale, we expect operating leverage and favorable mix to drive year-over-year profitability growth for full-year 2026.”

“Finally, we remain committed to disciplined capital allocation,” Reddy concluded. “With end market conditions still uneven, we are prioritizing debt reduction through free cash flow generation, supported by focused working capital management.”

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

Net sales increased by 10.7% on a year-over-year basis in the fourth quarter of 2025, due to the recent acquisition of Accu-Fab, accelerating growth in the Data Center & Critical Power end market, and increased organic volumes in the Construction & Access and Powersports end markets, partially offset by lower demand in Commercial Vehicle and Military end markets.

Manufacturing margin was $8.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, or 6.6% of net sales, versus $10.8 million, or 8.9% of net sales, in the prior year period. The year-over-year decrease in manufacturing margin was primarily attributable to $1.2 million of project launch costs within the Data Center & Critical Power end market, $1.7 million of early-stage project inefficiencies on a Commercial Vehicle project and lower capacity utilization due to softer demand in legacy end markets.

Profit sharing, bonus and deferred compensation expense was $1.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 as compared to $3.6 million in the prior year period. Other selling, general and administrative expenses were $9.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 as compared to $7.9 million for the same prior year period. The increase in these expenses primarily reflects $0.2 million in non-recurring costs and $1.1 million in incremental SG&A expense, each associated with the Accu-Fab acquisition.

Interest expense was $3.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, as compared to $2.0 million in the prior year period, due to increased borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility, partly offset by lower SOFR base rates relative to the prior year period.

Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $4.4 million, or ($0.22) per diluted share, versus net income of $16.0 million, or $0.76 per diluted share, in the prior year period. Net income in the fourth quarter of 2024 reflects $25.5 million, or $0.92 per diluted share, gain on a lawsuit associated with the settlement of the Company’s litigation with the former fitness customer.

MEC reported Adjusted EBITDA of $6.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, or 4.7% of net sales, versus $9.2 million, or 7.6% of net sales, in the prior year period. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA is primarily due to the early-stage project inefficiencies on a Commercial Vehicle project, new Data Center & Critical Power project launch costs, and lower customer demand, partially offset by the benefit of the Accu-Fab acquisition.

Fourth quarter Adjusted Net Loss was $1.4 million, or ($0.08) per diluted share, versus Adjusted Net Loss of $0.3 million, or ($0.01) per diluted share, in the prior year period. The increase in Adjusted Net Loss reflects lower income from operations, and higher interest expense.

Free cash flow during the fourth quarter of 2025 was $10.2 million as compared to $35.6 million in the prior year period. The decrease in cash flow was primarily attributable to the receipt of $25.5 million associated with the settlement of the Company’s litigation with the former fitness customer during the fourth quarter of 2024. When excluding the impact of the settlement agreement, fourth quarter 2024 free cash flow would have been $10.1 million, relatively flat to the $10.2 million generated in fourth quarter 2025.

END MARKET UPDATE

Commercial Vehicles

MEC is a Tier 1 supplier to many of the country’s top original equipment manufacturers (OEM) of commercial vehicles providing exhaust & aftertreatment, engine components, cooling, fuel and structural systems for both heavy- and medium-duty commercial vehicles.

Net sales to the Commercial Vehicle end market were $38.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, a decrease of 18.6% versus the prior year period. The decrease was attributable to an expected decline in customer demand driven by a 25.3% decrease in North American Class 8 commercial vehicle production compared to the fourth quarter of 2024.

Construction & Access

MEC manufactures components and sub-assemblies for OEMs within the construction & access market including fenders, hoods, supports, frames, platforms, frame structures, doors and tubular products such as exhaust & aftertreatment, engine components, cooling system components, handrails and full electro-mechanical assemblies.

Net sales to the Construction & Access end market were $19.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, an increase of 13.1% versus the prior year period. The increase in net sales was primarily due to improved non-residential construction demand and the Accu-Fab acquisition. Organic net sales growth in this end market was 10.8% in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to the fourth quarter of 2024.

Powersports

MEC manufactures stampings and complex metal assemblies and coatings for OEMs within the marine propulsion, all-terrain vehicles (ATV), multi-utility vehicles (MUV) and motorcycle markets. MEC’s powersports expertise includes axle housings, steering columns, swing arms, fenders, suspension components, ATV/MUV racks, cowl assemblies and vehicle frames.

Net sales to the Powersports end market were $20.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, an increase of 19.7% versus the prior year period. The increase in net sales to the Powersports end market was primarily attributable to incremental volumes from new business wins and stabilized customer production schedules as dealer inventory levels are now in line with current demand, partly offset by a decrease in sales within the marine propulsion market.

Data Center & Critical Power

MEC manufactures precision metal enclosures, racks, frames, and sub-assemblies for OEMs that deliver reliable power distribution, backup energy systems, and intelligent power management solutions in mission-critical data center and electrical infrastructure environments.

Net sales to the Data Center & Critical Power end market were $20.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2025. The increase in sales reflects accelerating demand from legacy customers and revenues associated with the Accu-Fab acquisition. Organic net sales growth in this end market was 12.7% in the fourth quarter of 2025, when compared to the fourth quarter of 2024.

Agriculture

MEC is an integral partner in the supply chain of the world’s leading agriculture OEMs manufacturing components and sub-assemblies including fenders, hoods, supports, frames, platforms, frame structures, doors, and tubular products such as exhaust, engine components, cooling system components, handrails and full electro-mechanical assemblies.

Net sales to the Agriculture end market were $7.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, flat versus the prior year period.

Military

MEC holds the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) certification and produces components for the United States military. Products include exhaust, engine components, cooling, fuel, suspension, structural systems, and chemical agent resistant coating (CARC) painting capabilities.

Net sales to the Military end market were $6.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, a decrease of 9.9% versus the prior year period. The decrease in net sales compared to the prior year was due to program transition delays.

Other

MEC also produces a wide variety of components and assemblies for customers in the industrial equipment & fixtures, consumer tools, mining, forestry, automotive, and medical market.

Net sales to Other end markets for the fourth quarter of 2025 were $21.0 million, an increase of 3.6% versus the prior year period. The increase in net sales compared to the prior year period was primarily associated with the Accu-Fab acquisition.

BALANCE SHEET UPDATE

As of December 31, 2025, MEC had net debt outstanding of $205.3 million and total cash and availability on its senior secured revolving credit facility of $223.0¹ million. At the end of the fourth quarter, the ratio of net debt to trailing twelve-month Adjusted EBITDA was 3.7x.

FINANCIAL GUIDANCE

Today, the Company issued financial guidance for the first quarter and full-year of 2026. All guidance is current as of the time provided and is subject to change.

The Company’s first quarter 2026 guidance reflects continued demand softness across legacy end markets, particularly Commercial Vehicle, Agriculture and Military. Adjusted EBITDA guidance for the quarter also incorporates ongoing project launch costs within the Data Center & Critical Power end market, supporting recently awarded programs as project activity is expected to ramp in the second quarter of 2026. Free cash flow for the first quarter of 2026 is expected to reflect normal seasonal working capital usage, incremental working capital investment to support the Data Center & Critical Power ramp up and planned capital expenditures of $3 million to $5 million.

Full-year 2026 guidance assumes a full year of Accu-Fab ownership, $40 million to $50 million of incremental cross-selling revenue, and improvement in legacy end market demand, primarily in the second half of the year. Guidance for the year also incorporates Data Center & Critical Power launch costs associated with awarded programs. Free Cash Flow guidance reflects working capital efficiencies and planned capital expenditures of $15 and $20 million.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This press release contains financial information calculated in a manner other than in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

The non-GAAP measures used in this press release are EBITDA, EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Diluted EPS and Free Cash Flow.

EBITDA represents net income (loss) before interest expense, provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation, and amortization. EBITDA Margin represents EBITDA as a percentage of net sales for each period. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA before stock-based compensation expense, legal costs due to the former fitness customer, Chief Financial Officer (CFO) transition costs, natural disaster costs, acquisition related costs, restructuring, costs recognized on step-up of Accu-Fab acquired inventory and lawsuit settlement gain. Adjusted EBITDA Margin represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales for each period. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted EPS represent net income (loss) before the aforementioned Adjusted EBITDA addback items and acquisition related amortization of intangible assets, which do not reflect our core operating performance. Free Cash Flow represents net cash provided by, or used in, operating activities, less cash flows used in the purchase of property, plant and equipment. We present Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS and Free Cash Flow as management uses these measures as key performance indicators, and we believe they are measures frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other parties to evaluate companies in our industry. These metrics are supplemental measures of our operating performance that are neither required by, nor presented in accordance with, GAAP. These measures should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or cash flow provided by, or used in, operating activities, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of our operating performance. These measures may not be comparable to the similarly named measures reported by other companies and have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.

Please reference our reconciliation of net income (loss), the most directly comparable measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, Free Cash Flow and the calculation of EBITDA Margin and Adjusted EBITDA Margin included in this press release.
