The Manitowoc Company, Inc. (NYSE: MTW) (the “Company” or
“Manitowoc”) today reported first-quarter net income of $4.5
million, or $0.12 per diluted share. First-quarter adjusted net
income(1) was $5.1 million, or $0.14 per diluted share.
Net sales in the first quarter decreased 2.6% year-over-year to
$495.1 million. First-quarter adjusted EBITDA(1) was $31.3 million,
a decrease of $13.8 million or 30.6% from the prior year.
First-quarter orders were $554.1 million, a 5.6% increase from

“Manitowoc’s first-quarter performance was in line with our
expectations. Although we continue to face unfavorable mix with the
continuing slowdown in the European tower crane market, our orders
in the first quarter were up 5.6% year-over-year; we ended the
quarter with a strong backlog. As we look at the balance of 2024,
we remain focused on reducing our inventory and generating free
cash flows,” commented Aaron H. Ravenscroft, President and Chief
Executive Officer of The Manitowoc Company, Inc.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted net income, Adjusted DEPS, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA,
adjusted operating income, Adjusted ROIC, and free cash flows are
financial measures that are not in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Manitowoc believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide
important supplemental information to both management and investors
regarding financial and business trends used in assessing its
results of operations. Manitowoc believes excluding specified items
provides a more meaningful comparison to the corresponding
reporting periods and internal budgets and forecasts, assists
investors in performing analysis that is consistent with financial
models developed by investors and research analysts, provides
management with a more relevant measure of operating performance,
and is more useful in assessing management performance.
Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted DEPS
The Company defines adjusted net income as net income plus the
addback or subtraction of restructuring and other non-recurring
items. Adjusted DEPS is defined as adjusted net income divided by
diluted weighted average shares outstanding. Diluted weighted
average common shares outstanding are adjusted for the effect of
dilutive stock awards when there is net income on an adjusted
basis, as applicable. The reconciliation of net income and diluted
net income per share to adjusted net income and Adjusted DEPS for
the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 are summarized as
follows. All dollar amounts are in millions, except per share data
and share amounts.

Adjusted ROIC
The Company defines Adjusted ROIC as adjusted net operating
profit after tax (“Adjusted NOPAT”) for the trailing twelve-months
ended divided by the five-quarter average of invested capital.
Adjusted NOPAT is calculated for each quarter by taking operating
income plus the addback of amortization of intangible assets and
the addback or subtraction of restructuring expenses, certain other
non-recurring items - net and provision for income taxes, which is
determined using a 15% tax rate. Invested capital is defined as net
total assets less cash and cash equivalents and income tax
assets/liabilities - net plus short-term and long-term debt. Income
taxes are defined as income tax payables/receivables, net deferred
tax assets/liabilities, and uncertain tax positions.
The Company’s Adjusted ROIC as of March 31, 2024 was 9.5%. Below
is the calculation of Adjusted ROIC as of March 31, 2024.
