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. CORPORATE SUMMARY MISSION STATEMENT Miller Industries is the global leader in towing and recovery equipment, manufacturing and servicing the highest quality and most innovative products. Our mission is to create superior value for our end-users, distributors, suppliers, employees, and shareholders.

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. millerind.com

Mike Gaudreau millerind@fticonsulting.com 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.”
