WOOD DALE, Ill., March 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Power Solutions International, Inc. (the "Company” or "PSI”) (Nasdaq: PSIX), a leader in the design, engineering and manufacture of emission-certified engines and power systems, announced record fourth quarter and full year 2024 financial results.

Financial Highlights

Fourth Quarter 2024 Results

Power Solutions International, Inc., reported record profit for the three months ended December 31, 2024, with net income of $23.3 million and diluted earnings per share of $1.01, compared to net income of $8.4 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.36 for the fourth quarter of 2023.

Dino Xykis, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Our sales and net income increased significantly for the quarter, driven by higher demand from our power systems business, including contributions from the expanding data center sector, along with operational efficiencies, and strategic initiatives that continue to yield positive results. For the year, we achieved record profits, reflecting a disciplined and consistent financial approach, market expansion, and commitment to delivering value to our shareholders. As we move forward, we remain focused on innovation, and operational excellence, while continuing to reduce PSI's debt, improving our balance sheet and delivering long-term growth.”

Kenneth Li, Chief Financial Officer, commented, "In December 2024, we successfully uplisted to the Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq"), marking a key milestone in our growth journey. This achievement reflects our strong financial position, record profitability, and commitment to delivering shareholder value. We remain focused on executing our strategy, maintaining financial discipline, and leveraging our Nasdaq listing to drive shareholder value creation.”

Sales for the fourth quarter of 2024 were $144.3 million, an increase of $39.5 million, or 38%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2023, primarily as a result of sales increases of $41.0 million in the power systems end market. This shift in markets reflects the conscious strategic prioritization towards higher growth markets such as data centers as well as oil and gas products and away from more mature markets such as trucks and school buses. As part of the Company's prioritization of the rapidly expanding data center sector, the Company is focused on improving and increasing our manufacturing capacity and capabilities to meet our customers' evolving demand for our products. Lower industrial end market sales are primarily due to decreases in demand for products used within the material handling and arbor care markets, as well as the effects of enforcement of the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act ("UFLPA”).

Gross profit increased by $15.7 million, or 57%, during the fourth quarter of 2024 as compared to the same period in the prior year. Gross margin in the fourth quarter of 2024 was 29.9%, an increase of 3.6% compared to 26.3% in the same period last year, primarily due to improved mix, pricing actions, higher operating efficiencies, and lower warranty costs attributable to the Company's strategic sales shift away from some of our transportation customers. For the fourth quarter of 2024, warranty costs were $0.7 million, as compared to $1.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2023.

Selling, general and administrative expenses of $12.4 million increased during the fourth quarter of 2024 by $3.0 million, or 32%, compared to the same period in the prior year, due to higher executive compensation and legal expenses.

Interest expense was $2.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 as compared to $3.6 million in the same period in the prior year, largely due to reduced outstanding debt and lower overall effective interest rates.

Net income was $23.3 million, or earnings per share of $1.01, in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to net income of $8.4 million, or earnings per share of $0.36 for the fourth quarter of 2023.

Balance Sheet Update

The Company's cash and cash equivalents were approximately $55.3 million, while total debt was approximately $120.2 million at December 31, 2024. This compares to total debt of approximately $145.2 million and cash and cash equivalents of approximately $22.8 million at December 31, 2023. Included in the Company's total debt at December 31, 2024, were borrowings of $95.0 million under the Revolving Credit Agreement, and borrowings of $25.0 million under the Shareholder's Loan Agreement. We remain committed to strengthening our business and generating cash flow to reduce debt. Recently, we amended our loan agreement, providing us with the flexibility to pay off our shareholder loan. In the first quarter of 2025, we successfully paid down an additional $10.0 million, bringing our total debt to $110.0 million. With our strong financial position and recent Nasdaq uplisting, we will explore opportunities for long-term debt financing to support our growth strategy and optimize our capital structure. We remain focused on financial discipline and enhancing shareholder value.

Outlook for 2025

The Company anticipates an increase in sales for 2025 compared to 2024, driven by expected growth in the power systems end market including products supporting data centers, while sales in the industrial and transportation end markets are projected to remain about flat. However, due to ongoing geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainties, especially with the latest tariff announcements and the possible impact on trade between the USA and the rest of the world, PSI will not provide specific sales growth guidance for 2025.
