Mayville Engineering Company (NYSE: MEC) (the “Company” or
“MEC”), a leading value-added provider of design, prototyping and
manufacturing solutions serving diverse end-markets, will host an
Investor Day at its Hazel Park, Michigan facility today, September
14, 2023, beginning at 9:00 a.m. ET.
At the Investor Day event, MEC will provide a progress update on
its MEC Business Excellence (MBX) value creation framework,
including a focus on targeted commercial growth, best-in-class
operational execution and its capital allocation priorities. Within
its presentation, MEC will also introduce new, three-year
performance targets, as outlined below.
“Today, we are introducing three-year performance targets that
highlight the significant value creation potential of our
business,” stated Jag Reddy, President and CEO of MEC. “Multi-year
secular trends toward reshoring and outsourcing, together with
growing demand for integrated supply chain solutions across both
existing and underserved adjacent markets, create a compelling
opportunity for MEC in the years ahead. We will seek to further
optimize recent investments in world-class engineering, design and
manufacturing capabilities, while deploying efficient, standardized
processes that enhance both our value proposition with customers
and the long-term profitability of our business. We are excited by
the outlook for our business and look forward to continuing to
build a leading platform of scale across our diverse
end-markets.”
STRATEGIC PRIORITIES UPDATE
In 2022, MEC launched MBX, a holistic, strategic framework
designed to drive profitable growth through targeted commercial
expansion within higher-value adjacent markets; the implementation
of more efficient business processes; improved asset optimization
and productivity; and further standardization across the
enterprise. MBX positions MEC to provide a solutions-based platform
equipped to scale with the unique requirements of existing
customers, while capitalizing on underserved demand within emerging
growth sectors, including energy transition. In combination, MEC
believes the MBX framework will contribute to ratable growth in
sustained revenue, margin realization and profitability.
Organic Growth Acceleration. MEC intends to further
leverage commercial expansion opportunities provided by
reshoring/outsourcing megatrends within its vertical markets, while
leveraging existing production capacity at Hazel Park and related
manufacturing facilities. The Company anticipates these actions
will result in net sales growth of $170 to $240 million between
year-end 2023 and year-end 2026.
Ratable Margin Expansion. During the next three years,
MEC intends to drive significant margin expansion through a
combination of sustained volume growth; value-based pricing;
improved asset optimization; and process improvements. These
initiatives, in combination with continued normalization in supply
chain and further optimization of the Hazel Park facility, are
expected to result in between 14% to 16% Adjusted EBITDA Margin, or
300 to 400 basis points of margin expansion, between year-end 2023
and year-end 2026.
Significant Free Cash Flow Generation. Between year-end
2023 and year-end 2026, the Company anticipates that it will
generate approximately $200 million in free cash flow. The Company
is committed to maximizing shareholder value through a reduction in
debt outstanding; investments in high-return, accretive acquisition
opportunities; and through a programmatic share repurchase
program.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
The financial target information provided in this press release
includes the forward-looking financial measures 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 adjusted
net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization (Adjusted EBITDA), Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of
net sales (Adjusted EBITDA margin) and free cash flow, which
management uses 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
or cash provided by operating activities, or any other performance
measure derived in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of our
operating performance.
The Company calculates forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA and
Adjusted EBITDA margin based on internal forecasts that omit
certain amounts that would be included in forward-looking GAAP net
income (loss). The Company calculates free cash flow based on
forward-looking cash provided from operating activities less
forward-looking capital expenditures. The Company is not able to
provide a reconciliation of forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA,
Adjusted EBITDA margin or free cash flow guidance to
forward-looking GAAP net income (loss) or forward-looking cash flow
provided by operating activities because forecasting the exact
timing or impact of items, including, without limitation, the
impact of macroeconomic, industry and operational changes through
2026, that have not yet occurred and are out of its control is
inherently uncertain and unavailable without unreasonable efforts.
Further, the Company believes that such reconciliations would imply
a degree of precision and certainty that could be confusing to
investors and could have substantial impact on GAAP measures of
financial performance.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This press release includes forward-looking statements that
reflect plans, estimates and beliefs. Such statements involve risk
and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those

challenges, labor availability and cost pressures, and the COVID-19

our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of
operations (including future uncertain impacts); risks relating to
developments in the industries in which our customers operate;

efficiency; our ability to realize net sales represented by our
awarded business; failure to compete successfully in our markets;

and gain customer acceptance of such processes; risks related to
our information technology systems and infrastructure; geopolitical

ownership plan’s treatment as a tax-qualified retirement plan; and
other factors described in “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as
such may be amended or supplemented in our subsequently filed

conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements
included in the Company’s previously filed Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. We undertake no
obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements after
