VIDEO ABOUT MILLER INDUSTRIES |
| FACT SHEET
The World Leader in Towing and Recovery Equipment ®
Miller Industries is the world’s largest manufacturer of
towing and recovery equipment and markets its towing
and recovery equipment under a number of well-recognized brands, including Century, Vulcan, Chevron,
Holmes, Jigé, and Boniface. There are approximately
76 distributor locations in North America, who serve all
50 states, Canada & Mexico, and approximately 30+
distributors that serve other foreign markets. Each of
the Company’s brands has a well-established, distinct
product image and corresponding customer loyalty.
Since 1990 Miller Industries has developed or acquired
several of the most well-recognized brands in the highly-fragmented towing and recovery industry. During this
period, management has strengthened the Company’s
distributor network, increased production capacity, and
improved manufacturing efficiencies and product design.
Miller Industries offers a broad range of products
that meet most customer design, capacity, and cost
requirements. The Company manufactures the bodies
of wreckers and car carriers, which are installed on
truck chassis manufactured by third parties. Wreckers
generally are used to recover and tow disabled vehicles
and other equipment, and range in type from the
conventional tow truck to large recovery vehicles with
rotating hydraulic booms and 100-ton lifting capacities.
Car carriers are specialized flatbed vehicles with hydraulic
tilt mechanisms that enable a towing operator to drive or
winch a vehicle onto the bed for transport. Car carriers
transport new or disabled vehicles and other equipment
and are particularly effective over long distances. The
company also manufactures a line of transport trailers.
Our continued success in the future will rely heavily on
sensitivity to our customers’ needs and our quality in
construction and design of our products. With these
attributes, Miller Industries will continue to be the
acknowledged leader in the towing and recovery industry.

| PRODUCT SUMMARY
The World Leader in Towing and Recovery Equipment ®
NYSE: MLR
LIGHT-DUTY
Vulcan 812 Intruder II
Century 12-Series LCG™
CAR CARRIER
Miller Industries brings a whole new dimension
to transport with the 12 Series LCG™ (Low
Center of Gravity) carrier. The patented
design lowers the deck height 5" – 6" over
conventional carriers, which provides better
stability during transport. The lower height
allows for the transport of taller loads, such as
forklifts or man-lifts, that may be over-height
on a conventional carrier.
The Vulcan 812 and Century Express 300 have
been the most popular choices in the industry
over the past decade for private property
repossession and commercial towers. But in an
effort to improve upon an already great product,
Miller Industries’ engineers surveyed operators
on what features most important to them.
The result was increased rear visibility between the boom and tailboard for easier hook ups, a new
hose tracking system for longer life and easier maintenance, and your choice of several handheld
controllers to suit what the operator is most comfortable with. Other changes include a totally
redesigned low profile crossbar, claws that have a recessed area for better oil pan clearance, and
a new patent pending pivot system.
The operator can easily secure loads or tie down vehicles while standing on the ground, thanks
to the lower height. When mounted on most air ride chassis, with the air dumped, the 12 Series
LCG™ has less than an 11-degree load angle, making it ideal for loading low-clearance vehicles
or equipment without using ramps or wood. Your new 12 Series LCG™ is available in 20.5' to 22'
deck lengths with a capacity of 12,000 lbs. and a wide variety of options to fit your specific needs.

HEAVY-DUTY
Century 5130
Century 1150
ROTATOR
With the call for quick clearance on congested
roadways and to handle a variety of difficult
recovery and lifting jobs, Century is the number
one choice worldwide. As the only manufacturer
of recovery equipment that designs specifically
for towers’ needs and safety, we are proud to
offer the 1150, a 50-ton rotator ideal for heavy
recovery with a weight-saving design for your
daily towing.
The 5130 is Century’s best performing heavy-duty integrated unit with 128" of underlift
reach. The 5130 has the ability to tow most
vehicles without giving up maneuverability of
a single axle or tandem axle unit. The 5130
also provides a 25-ton recovery boom and
25,000 lbs. winches for your recovery and
lifting applications.
The Century 1150 features 360° of continuous boom rotation, a 3-stage recovery boom, optional
deck and turret mounted winches and a variety of underlift options. The 1150 technology is also
available in the Century 1150R, which features a unique patented roller system that allows the
boom to travel up to 60". The low-maintenance roller system has the ability to start and stop under
heavy loads, even while rotating.

MILLER INDUSTRIES REPORTS 2024 SECOND QUARTER RESULTS
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., August 7, 2024/PRNewswire/ -- Miller Industries, Inc. (NYSE: MLR) (“Miller Industries” or the
“Company”) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.
For the second quarter of 2024, net sales were $371.5 million, an increase of 23.7%, compared to $300.3 million for the
second quarter of 2023. The year over year growth was predominantly due to consistent demand from customers, increased
production volume and continued elevated OEM chassis deliveries in the quarter. We anticipate that chassis deliveries will
normalize during the second half of the year.
Gross profit for the second quarter of 2024 was $51.1 million, or 13.8% of net sales, compared to $39.9 million, or 13.3% of
net sales, for the second quarter of 2023. The year over year increase in gross margin was largely driven by higher production
and delivery volumes.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $22.8 million, or 6.1% of net sales, compared to $19.5 million, or 6.5% of
net sales, in the prior year period.
Net income in the second quarter of 2024 was $20.5 million, or $1.78 per diluted share, an increase of 37.5% and 37.7%
respectively compared to net income of $14.9 million, or $1.29 per diluted share, in the prior year period.
The Company also announced that its Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.19 per share, payable
September 16, 2024, to shareholders of record at the close of business on September 9, 2024, the fifty-fifth consecutive
quarter that the Company has paid a dividend.
“During the second quarter we continued to deliver strong operating results, capping off a record first half for Miller
Industries,” said William G. Miller, II, Chief Executive Officer of the Company. “Our continued strong topline performance
underscores the success of our strategic initiatives, and when coupled with our improved production and delivery levels, also
contributed to improved margins. We continue to maintain current production levels to decrease our backlog to more
historical levels. This will allow us to better accommodate our distributors with increased flexibility and to deliver finished
products to retail customers with a more acceptable lead time. Our steady order entry rate demonstrates the strength of our
salesforce and distribution network, and the competitive advantages our products provide to our customers. Moving into the
second half of the year, we are acutely focused on shifting product from our distributors to our end users, to ensure that the
revenue we are generating has a strong cash conversion rate. As our first half results have surpassed our initial expectations,
we now expect to achieve low double-digit revenue growth for the full year of 2024, in line with our historical annual growth
rate, as opposed to the high single-digit growth we anticipated two quarters ago.” |

Mr. Miller, II, concluded, “As we look ahead, and as we mentioned last quarter, we continue to analyze the need for future
investments in our manufacturing capabilities, specifically our production capacity. As always, we will also prioritize
returning capital to our shareholders through our industry leading dividend and the $25 million share repurchase program we
announced in April.”
