MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

“Our second quarter results reflect stronger-than-expected order activity within our Commercial Vehicle end market and continued momentum across our Datacenter & Critical Power end market," said Jag Reddy, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our execution remained strong as we continued to invest in resources and equipment necessary to support the accelerating customer demand. As volumes increased, margins improved through better capacity utilization, though we continued to absorb project launch costs associated with the ramp up of new Datacenter & Critical Power programs. At the same time, we are making selective decisions to prioritize capacity for higher-value, higher-margin programs that support long-term profitable growth."

"During the quarter, we secured approximately $40 million of new Datacenter & Critical Power project awards as customer demand remained robust," Reddy continued. "Our qualified opportunity pipeline continues to exceed $125 million, supported by strong customer quoting activity. Within our Commercial Vehicle end market, demand trends improved during the quarter, and we expect continued recovery through the remainder of the year, complemented by steady activity in our Construction & Access end market. Reflecting these favorable trends, we are raising our full-year 2026 net sales guidance by approximately 5%."

"We also completed a common stock offering during the quarter, generating approximately $94 million in net proceeds," Reddy concluded. "The proceeds were immediately used to reduce debt and strengthen our balance sheet, increasing our available liquidity to more than $100 million. Given the significant opportunities we continue to see across the Datacenter & Critical Power infrastructure market, we also intend to use a portion of the net proceeds from the offering to invest an incremental $50 million in organic growth initiatives across 2026 and 2027 to expand capacity to support higher-value programs. These investments position MEC to deliver attractive, sustainable returns on invested capital as we capitalize on a multi-year secular growth opportunity."

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

Net sales increased by 23.2% on a year-over-year basis in the second quarter of 2026, primarily due to organic growth in the Datacenter & Critical Power, Commercial Vehicle, and Construction & Access end markets and the impact of the Accu-Fab acquisition completed in the third quarter of 2025. These increases were partially offset by lower demand in the Powersports, Agriculture and Military end markets.

Manufacturing margin was $17.7 million in the second quarter of 2026, or 10.9% of net sales, versus $13.6 million, or 10.3% of net sales, in the prior year period. The year-over-year increase in manufacturing margin was primarily attributable to higher margin sales contribution from the Accu-Fab acquisition and improved capacity utilization as demand in several legacy end markets improved. This increase was partially offset by $2.1 million of project launch costs and higher costs associated with ongoing workforce expansion to support demand.

Bonuses and deferred compensation expense was $4.8 million in the second quarter of 2026 as compared to $1.5 million in the prior year period. Other selling, general and administrative expenses were $9.3 million in the second quarter of 2026 as compared to $10.3 million for the same prior year period. The decrease in other selling, general and administrative expenses primarily reflects non-recurring executive transition expenses and Accu-Fab acquisition-related costs in the prior year period, partially offset by incremental SG&A expenses associated with the acquisition.

Interest expense was $3.5 million in the second quarter of 2026, as compared to $1.4 million in the prior year period, due to increased average borrowings and interest rate under the Company’s revolving credit facility and the timing of debt repayment during the second quarter of 2026.

Net loss for the second quarter of 2026 was $2.1 million, or ($0.09) per diluted share, versus net loss of $1.1 million, or ($0.05) per diluted share, in the prior year period.

MEC reported Adjusted EBITDA of $13.2 million in the second quarter of 2026, or 8.1% of net sales, versus $13.7 million, or 10.3% of net sales, in the prior year period. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA is primarily due to Datacenter & Critical Power project launch costs, incremental SG&A expense related to the Accu-Fab acquisition, and increased gain sharing accruals, partially offset by the earnings contribution from the Accu-Fab acquisition and stronger Commercial Vehicle demand.

Second quarter Adjusted Net Income was $1.6 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, versus $3.4 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, in the prior year period. The decrease in Adjusted Net Income reflects lower income from operations and higher interest expense.

Free cash flow during the second quarter of 2026 was ($6.6) million as compared to $12.5 million in the prior year period. The decrease was primarily driven by lower cash flow from operations and higher capital expenditures related to equipment investments needed to support rapidly accelerating demand in the Datacenter & Critical Power end market.

END MARKET UPDATE

Commercial Vehicle

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 $50.8 million in the second quarter of 2026, an increase of 3.4% versus the prior year period. The increase was attributable to higher OEM production of class 8 commercial vehicles, supported by improving freight market fundamentals and carrier profitability.

Datacenter & 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 datacenter and electrical infrastructure environments.

Net sales to the Datacenter & Critical Power end market were $29.0 million in the second quarter of 2026, an increase of 476.5% versus the prior year period. 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 172.8% in the second quarter of 2026, when compared to the second quarter of 2025.

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 $23.1 million in the second quarter of 2026, an increase of 14.7% versus the prior year period. The increase in net sales was primarily due to improved non-residential construction demand.

Powersports

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

Net sales to the Powersports end market were $18.5 million in the second quarter of 2026, a decrease of 6.0% versus the prior year period. The decrease in net sales to the Powersports end market was primarily driven by soft demand among ATV, UTV, and motorcycle OEMs resulting from ongoing offshoring initiatives.

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 $9.0 million in the second quarter of 2026, a decrease of 3.0% versus the prior year period. The decrease in net sales in the Agriculture end market reflects continued demand softness for large agricultural equipment, partially offset by improved small agriculture equipment demand.

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 $6.5 million in the second quarter of 2026, a decrease of 22.6% 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 markets.

Net sales to Other end markets for the second quarter of 2026 were $26.1 million, an increase of 25.6% versus the prior year period. The increase in net sales compared to the prior year period was associated with strong aluminum extrusion demand.

BALANCE SHEET UPDATE

As of June 30, 2026, MEC had net debt outstanding of $134.7 million and total cash and availability on its senior secured revolving credit facility of $108.5 million. At the end of the second quarter, the ratio of net debt to trailing twelve-month Adjusted EBITDA was 2.9x, as calculated pursuant to the terms of the Company’s current credit agreement.

FINANCIAL GUIDANCE

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

Third quarter 2026 sales guidance reflects continued recovery within the Company’s Commercial Vehicle and Construction & Access end markets, along with the ongoing ramp-up of Datacenter & Critical Power programs. Adjusted EBITDA guidance for the quarter also incorporates the impact of continued launch and outsourcing costs associated with new Datacenter & Critical Power programs. Free cash flow for the third quarter of 2026 is expected to reflect working capital efficiencies and planned capital expenditures of $10 million to $12 million.

The Company’s full-year 2026 guidance assumes a full year of Accu-Fab ownership, $50 million to $60 million of incremental cross-selling revenue, and continued improvement in several key legacy end markets. Guidance also incorporates launch and outsourcing costs associated with awarded Datacenter & Critical Power programs as they progress through their ramp-up phase. Free Cash Flow guidance reflects expected working capital efficiencies and planned capital expenditures of $25 million and $35 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, loss on extinguishment of debt, CFO transition costs, natural disaster costs, acquisition related costs and restructuring and impairment costs. 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 (Loss), 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 (Loss), Adjusted Diluted EPS, Free Cash Flow and the calculation of EBITDA Margin and Adjusted EBITDA Margin included in this press release.
