TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS, 
April 26, 2024 

At  Miller  Industries,  we  have  always  had  a  clear  vision  to  create  superior  value  for  our  shareholders,  customers, 
distributors, suppliers, and employees. We are proud of the Company’s strong performance in 2023, which was a year 
of tremendous growth. This performance reflects both the success of our long term strategy as well as our potential for 
the future. Since I stepped into the role of CEO nearly 10 years ago, we have focused on modernizing the Company 
and our operations, securing our supply chain, and attracting the best talent in our sector.  In that timeframe, we have 
invested more than $100 million into the business to increase capacity, improve productivity, and enhance our supply 
chain.  

In  2021,  we  were  tasked  with  navigating  the  Company  through  the  COVID-19  pandemic  and  the  supply  chain 
challenges that followed. While others may have scaled back, we doubled down and continued to invest in our business, 
people, and providing the best service possible to our customers.  

With signs of a recovery on the horizon in 2023, we took another step to bolster our operations through the acquisition 
of SHC, Inc, a custom hydraulic cylinder manufacturer, our first acquisition in many years. Coming out of the pandemic, 
we wanted to shore up our supply chain, particularly related to custom hydraulic cylinder parts, which historically have 
had extended lead times. I’m pleased to report that from day one, SHC has been a great addition to the Miller Industries 
family.  So far, the integration has been seamless and performance has exceeded all of our expectations.  

As a result of our investments in the business over the past several years, we generated record results on both the top 
and bottom line in 2023, surpassing full-year guidance. This financial performance is not only validation of the long-
term fundamentals of our business and strategy, but also a testament to the enduring strength of the Miller Industries 
brand, our diversified product portfolio, and the hard work and commitment of our employees. 

Our Company has always been committed to returning capital to our shareholders through our dividend, a dividend we 
have paid for 53 consecutive quarters.  The record results of 2023 have allowed us to increase our dividend by 5.6%. 
Along with that, the Company will institute a $25 million share repurchase program early in 2024. We believe these 
actions reflect the Board's confidence in our team, strategy, and the underlying strength of our business, balance sheet, 
and end markets.  Capital allocation will remain a top priority for us in 2024 as the business is expected to generate 
more cash. 

We have set an incredibly strong foundation for growth at Miller Industries, and our past investments are beginning to 
materialize in our results. We anticipate strong macroeconomic conditions on the horizon and are operating under the 
stewardship of a best in class and recently refreshed Board of Directors.  

I am confident our record 2023 results are only the beginning of what we can achieve at the Company. Our backlog 
remains near record levels,  order intake remains strong, and internally, we are well positioned to continue to execute 
our  strategy.  We  previously  set  guidance  for  high  single-digit  revenue  growth  in  the  year  ahead,  and  the  entire 
management team is anticipating another tremendous year in 2024.  

In closing, the entire Board, management team, and I would like to thank our shareholders, employees, customers, 
and suppliers for their ongoing support of Miller Industries.  Without you all, our success would not be possible.

ITEM 1. BUSINESS 

ITEM 1.    BUSINESS 

OUR COMPANY 

Miller  Industries,  Inc.,  (“Miller  Industries”),  a  Tennessee  corporation,  is  The  World’s  Largest  Manufacturer  of  Towing  and  Recovery  Equipment®,  with 
executive offices in Ooltewah, Tennessee, domestic manufacturing operations in Tennessee and Pennsylvania, and foreign manufacturing operations in 
France and the United Kingdom. 

Miller Industries was founded in 1990. Since its inception, the Company has developed innovative high-quality towing and recovery equipment worldwide. 
We design and manufacture bodies of car carriers and wreckers, which are installed on chassis manufactured by third parties, and sold to our customers. 
Our products are marketed and sold through a network of distributors that serve all 50 states, Canada, Mexico and other foreign markets, and through 
prime contractors to governmental entities. Further, we have substantial distribution capabilities in Europe as a result of our ownership of Jige International 
S.A. and Boniface Engineering, Ltd. While most of our distributor agreements do not generally contain exclusivity provisions, management believes that 
more than 90 percent of our independent distributors do not offer products of any other towing and recovery equipment manufacturer, which we believe is 
a testament of their loyalty to our brands. 

In addition to selling our products, our independent distributors provide end-users with parts and service. We also utilize sales representatives to inform 
prospective end-users about our current product lines in an effort to drive sales to independent distributors. Management believes the strength of our 
distribution network and the breadth and quality of our product offerings are two key advantages over our competitors. 

In  this  Annual  Report  on  Form  10-K,  the  words  “Miller  Industries,”  the  “Company,”  “we,”  “our,”  “ours”  and  “us”  refer  to  Miller  Industries, Inc.,  and  its 
subsidiaries. 

PRODUCT LINES 

Car Carriers 

Car carriers are specialized flat-bed vehicles with hydraulic tilt mechanisms that enable a towing operator to drive or winch a vehicle onto the bed for 
transport. Car carriers are used to transport new or disabled vehicles and other equipment and are particularly effective for transporting vehicles or other 
equipment over longer distances. In addition to transporting vehicles, car carriers may also be used for other purposes, including transportation of industrial 
equipment. Most professional towing operators have car carriers in their fleets to complement their towing capabilities. 

Wreckers  

Wreckers are generally used to recover and tow disabled vehicles and other equipment and range in type from the conventional tow truck to large recovery 
vehicles with up to 100-ton lifting capacities. Wreckers are available with specialized features, including underlifts, L-arms, crossbars and scoops, which lift 
disabled vehicles by the tires or front axle to minimize front end damage to the towed vehicles. Certain heavy-duty wrecker models offer rotating booms 
and remote-control devices which allow heavy-duty wreckers to recover vehicles from any angle. In addition, certain light-duty wreckers are equipped with 
automatic wheel-lift hookup devices that allow operators to engage a disabled or unattended vehicle without leaving the cab of the wrecker. 

Our wreckers range in capacity from four to 100 tons, and are classified as either light-duty or heavy-duty, with wreckers of 16-ton or greater capacity being 
classified as heavy-duty. Light-duty wreckers are used to remove vehicles from accident scenes and vehicles illegally parked, abandoned or disabled, and 
for general recovery. Heavy-duty wreckers are used in towing and recovery operations including overturned tractor trailers, buses, motor homes and other 
large vehicles. 

Transport Trailers 

Our multi-vehicle transport trailers are specialized auto transport trailers with upper and lower decks and hydraulic ramps for loading vehicles. These trailers 
are used for moving multiple vehicles for auto auctions, car dealerships, leasing companies and other similar operations. These trailers are easy to load 
and transport up to seven vehicles. The vehicles can be secured to transport quickly with ratchet and chain tie-downs that are mounted throughout the 
frame of the transport trailer. Many professional towing operators have added auto transport trailers to their fleets to add to their service offerings.

OUR BRANDS 

ITEM 1. BUSINESS 

We manufacture and market our car carriers, wreckers and trailers under 10 separate brand names. Although certain brands overlap in terms of features, 
prices and distributors, each brand has its own distinctive image and customer base. 

Century®  

The Century® brand is our “top-of-the-line” brand and represents what management believes to be the broadest product line in the industry. The Century® 
line was started in 1974 and produces wreckers ranging from 8-ton light-duty to 100-ton heavy-duty models, and car carriers in lengths from 20 to 30 feet. 
Management believes the Century® brand has a reputation as the industry’s leading product innovator. 

Vulcan® 

Our Vulcan® product line includes a range of premium light-duty and heavy-duty wreckers, ranging from 8-ton light-duty to 75-ton heavy-duty models, and 
car carriers. 

Chevron™ 

Our Chevron™ product line is comprised primarily of premium car carriers. Chevron™ produces a range of premium single-car, multi-car and industrial 
carriers, as well as wreckers ranging from 8-ton to 16-ton models. 

Holmes® 

Our Holmes® product line includes mid-priced wreckers with 4 to 16-ton capacities, a 16-ton rotator and a detachable towing unit (“DTU”). The Holmes® 
wrecker was first produced in 1916. Historically, the Holmes® name has been the most well-recognized and leading industry brand both domestically and 
internationally. 

Challenger® 

Our Challenger® products compete with the Century® and Vulcan® products and constitute a third premium product line. Challenger® products consist of 
heavy-duty wreckers with capacities ranging from 25 to 75 tons. The Challenger® line was started in 1975 and is known for its high-performance heavy-
duty wreckers and aesthetic design. 

Champion® 

The Champion® brand, which was introduced in 1991, includes car carriers that range in length from 19 to 21 feet. The Champion® product line, which is 
generally lower-priced, allows us to offer a full line of car carriers at various competitive price points. 

Jige™ 

Our Jige™ product line is comprised of a broad line of premium light-duty and heavy-duty wreckers and car carriers marketed primarily in Europe. Jige™ 
is a market leader best known for its innovative designs of car carriers and light-duty wreckers necessary to operate within the narrow confines of European 
cities, as well as heavy-duty wreckers. 

Boniface™ 

Our Boniface™ product line is comprised predominantly of premium heavy-duty wreckers marketed primarily in Europe. Boniface™ produces heavy-duty 
wreckers specializing in the long underlift technology required to tow modern European tour buses. 

Titan® 

Our Titan® product line is comprised of premium multi-vehicle transport trailers which can transport up to seven vehicles depending on configuration. 

Eagle® 

Our Eagle® products consist of light-duty wreckers with the “Eagle Claw®” hook-up system that allows towing operators to engage a disabled or unattended 
vehicle without leaving the cab of the tow truck. The “Eagle Claw®” hook-up system was originally developed for the repossession market. Since acquiring 
Eagle, we have upgraded the quality and features of the Eagle® product line and expanded its recovery capability. 

ACQUISITIONS 

We have acquired a number of businesses over the years that have enhanced our products portfolio.  

 5  

 
  
 
 
 
PART I 

ITEM 1. BUSINESS 

Most recently, during fiscal 2023, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Southern Hydraulic Cylinder, Inc., 
(“SHC”), a Tennessee corporation. SHC manufactures, sells and services custom-build, welded hydraulic cylinders and related components. Management 
believes this acquisition will strengthen its efforts to enhance the stability of its supply chain. 

Our strategy has always been to diversify our product-line and remain open to opportunities for acquisitions. We expect to continue to pursue additional 
acquisitions in the future. 

For further information on the acquisition of SHC, Inc., see Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements. 

MANUFACTURING  

Miller Industries has a long history of innovation in our manufacturing processes utilizing advanced technologies. We manufacture wreckers, car carriers 
and trailers at six manufacturing facilities located in the United States, France and the United Kingdom. Our manufacturing facilities are designed to provide 
efficient assembly-line manufacturing of our products. In order to utilize our manufacturing facilities and technology more efficiently and effectively, we 
pursue continuous improvements in our manufacturing process. Our manufacturing personnel, in consultation with, our engineering department which 
consists of 52 engineers, use sophisticated computer-aided design and stress analysis systems to test new product designs and integrate various product 
improvements. 

Century® M100 

At  our  research  and  development  (“R&D”)  facility  in  Chattanooga,  Tennessee,  we 
continuously  pursue  innovations  in  our  products  and  improvements  in  our  manufacturing 
processes. These efforts led to our exclusive product, the M100. The Century® M100 is the 
world’s largest rotator truck and the industry’s first heavy-duty unit. The Century® M100 also 
features our patented Raptor™ Control System which includes wrecker controls that allow the 
boom to be remotely extended away from the vehicle to enhance operator sightlines during 
use and an information screen with load-sensing functions. 

In addition, our Holmes® and Century® brands are associated with four major innovations in the industry: the rapid reverse winch, the tow sling, the hydraulic 
lifting mechanism and the underlift with parallel linkage and L-arms. 

The manufacturing process for our products consists primarily of cutting and bending sheet steel or aluminum into parts that are welded together to form 
the wrecker, car carrier body or trailer. We also produce wrecker bodies using composites and other non-metallic materials, which reduces the vehicle 
weight and increases fuel efficiency. After the frame is formed, components such as hydraulic cylinders, winches, valves and pumps, that are purchased 
by us from third-party suppliers, are attached to the frame to form the completed wrecker or car carrier body. The completed body is either installed by us 
or shipped by common carrier to a distributor where it is then installed on a chassis. Generally, the wrecker or car carrier bodies are painted, and towing 
operators can select customized colors to coordinate with chassis colors or customer fleet colors. To the extent final painting is required before delivery, 
we either complete such painting or contract with independent paint shops for such services. 

Our  domestic  facilities  have  undergone  substantial  expansion  and  modernization.  Since  2017,  we  invested  over  $98.4  million  on  property,  plant  and 
equipment. These projects not only increased our manufacturing production capacity, but also included installing sophisticated robotics and implementing 
other advanced technologies to optimize our manufacturing process. 

CUSTOMERS 

We sell our products to a diverse network of independent distributors, consisting of approximately 74 distributor locations in North America, that serve all 
50 states, Canada & Mexico, and approximately 50 distributors that serve other foreign markets. These distributors then sell our products to end-users. Our 
long-standing relationships with our distributors give them a deep knowledge of our products and our corporate culture, allowing them to effectively promote 
our products to end-users. Our diverse network of distributors lessens our dependence on particular distributors. 

In 2023, no distributor accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated total sales and we do not consider our business to be materially dependent on any 
single customer. 

We engage sales representatives who provide sales support to our entire network of independent distributors. Sales representatives receive commissions 
on direct sales based on product type and brand and generally are assigned specific territories in which to promote sales of our products and to maintain 
customer  relationships.  To  support  sales  and  marketing  efforts,  we  produce  demonstrator  models  that  are  used  by  our  sales  representatives  and 
independent distributors.

PART I 

ITEM 1. BUSINESS 

In addition to providing services to our network of independent distributors, our sales representatives sell our products to various governmental entities, 
including the U.S. federal government and foreign governments, through prime contractors. We routinely respond to requests for proposals or bid invitations 
in consultation with our local distributors. Our products have been selected by the United States General Services Administration as an approved source 
for certain federal and defense agencies. We intend to continue to pursue federal, state, local and foreign government contracting opportunities. 

The towing and recovery equipment industry places heavy marketing emphasis on product exhibitions at national, regional and international trade shows. 
To focus our marketing efforts and to control marketing costs at major trade shows, we work with our network of independent distributors to concentrate on 
various regional shows.  

SUPPLIERS  

We purchase raw materials and component parts from several sources. Although we have no long-term supply contracts, management believes we have 
good relationships with our primary suppliers. In recent years prices have fluctuated significantly and supply chain challenges have been severe. Prior to 
these challenges, we have generally experienced no significant interferences in obtaining adequate supplies of raw materials and component parts to meet 
the requirements of our production schedules, and found the materials used in the production of our products were available at competitive prices from an 
adequate number of alternative suppliers. However, supply chain challenges continue and the loss of a single supplier could have a material adverse effect 
on our business.   

COMPETITION  

We operate in a highly competitive environment in the manufacturing and selling of towing and recovery equipment. We compete on many levels, including 
product quality and innovation, reputation, technology, customer service, product availability and price, with an emphasis on product quality, innovation and 
customer service. Accordingly, we have invested substantial resources and time in building and maintaining strong relationships with distributors. 

Our marketing strategy is to continue to compete primarily on the basis of quality and reputation rather than solely on the basis of price, and to continue to 
target the growing group of professional towing operators who recognize the quality of our products. 

Traditionally, the capital requirements for entry into the towing and recovery manufacturing industry have been relatively low. Management believes a 
manufacturer’s capital resources and access to technological improvements have become a more integral component of success in recent years. Certain 
of our competitors may have greater financial and other resources and may provide more attractive dealer and retail customer financing alternatives than 
we do. 

BACKLOG 

We produce virtually all of our products to order. The backlog of orders represents customer purchase orders that have been received but not yet fulfilled 
as of the reporting date. Backlog can fluctuate for a number of reasons including adjustments based on changes in customer requirements, pricing 
actions, manufacturing and shipping schedules, cancellation and/or rescheduling of orders from our customers, timing of when they are originally placed, 
and when we are able to fulfill them.  

Our backlog of orders grew substantially due to the lingering impacts of the supply chain disruptions that began in fiscal 2021. We continue to experience 
some ongoing challenges for products and component parts inventory, though supply chain conditions began to stabilize during fiscal 2023 returning our 
backlog to normal levels. While management regularly reviews the backlog and assesses its ability to fulfill these orders within a reasonable period of time, 
it is possible that continued global supply chain disruptions, or other factors, could cause further delays in delivery and an inability to complete customer 
orders. However, the level of backlog at any particular time may not be an appropriate indicator of our future operating performance. 

PRODUCT WARRANTIES AND INSURANCE 

The Company generally offers a 12-month limited manufacturer’s product and services warranty for products sold to customers on our wrecker and car 
carrier products. These warranties generally provide for failed parts or components. Our independent distributors typically perform warranty repair work, 
rather than shipping products back to us. The independent distributors then submit claims (invoices) for warranty reimbursement for the cost of parts and 
labor.  

At the time of sale, we record an accrual for manufactured products for estimated costs in connection with forecasted future warranty claims. Our estimate 
of the cost of future warranty claims is based primarily on the estimated number of products under warranty, historical average costs incurred to service 
warranty claims, the trend in the historical ratio of claims and the historical length of time between the sale and resulting warranty claim. 

The Company maintains general liability and product liability insurance coverage to mitigate liability claims. Management believes that the combination of 
warranty provisions and product liability insurance provides adequate coverage to address potential liabilities arising from our limited manufacturer’s product 
and services warranties.

Employees  

ITEM 1. BUSINESS 

As of December 31, 2023, we employed approximately 1,821 employees globally, of which 99.1% are full-time employees. None of our employees are 
covered by collective bargaining agreements or similar representation in the United States; however, employees have certain similar representation provided 
by their respective government’s employment regulations based outside of the United States. We consider our employee relations generally to be good.  

Culture and Talent  

Culture 

The Company’s culture is rooted in our values and behaviors, based on treating others the way we would like to be treated and fostering a work environment 
that is inclusive, diverse, fair and engaged. In addition, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is intended to reinforce our core values of respect, 
integrity, collaboration, innovation, trust, and excellence throughout our operations. Providing a positive work environment supports our ability to attract, 
retain and develop our employees and enables business performance. 

Professional Development 

To facilitate talent attraction and retention, we provide training programs that address skill shortages in our workforce, foster career development and 
encourage proper use of technology and resources. These programs include our Welding School that teaches employees how to read blueprints, interpret 
weld symbols and learn welding techniques. In addition, the Front-Line Leadership Academy was created to develop high-potential employees for future 
leadership roles in the Company, and provide change management, decision making and problem-solving skills to future leaders. We have also established 
a tuition reimbursement program for continuing education, including undergraduate and graduate degrees or certifications and licenses relevant to the 
business. 

Competitive Pay and Employee Benefits  

Our employees are essential to our success and we strive to offer comprehensive and competitive wages and benefits, as well as various wellness initiatives. 
The benefits we offer include, but are not limited to, comprehensive medical coverage, short-term and long-term disability, life insurance, wellness screening, 
dental coverage, paid time off, incentive programs, an employee assistance program, access to telehealth services and a U.S. 401(k) plan with a Company 
match. To ensure our pay rates for our employees remain competitive, we periodically perform compensation studies. 

During fiscal 2022, we experienced substantially increased employee turnover rates in our skilled workforce and in response took various actions to attract 
and retain skilled laborers, including attending hiring events, broadening our recruitment platforms and paying sign-on and retention bonuses. Due in part 
to these efforts, employee turnover rates have trended down throughout fiscal 2023. 

Employee Engagement 

Miller Industries solicits feedback and suggestions from employees through various mechanisms, including an “open door” policy, utilizing an employment 
engagement and communication specialist who is dedicated to communication with our employees and employee engagement surveys conducted by a 
third party. As a result of employee engagement surveys, the Company has launched “Link Up,” a townhall event for leadership to provide brief updates on 
the business, increased the Team Leader to employee ratio on the production floor to improve on-the-job training, overall product quality and employee 
safety, provided a six-week Team Leader Bootcamp Training program and started the Front-Line Academy to provide in-house professional development 
opportunities. 

We have invested substantial time and resources in recent years to optimize employee engagement, productivity and safety of our workforce, which we 
believe is the foundation upon which we can maintain our competitive advantages in product quality and customer service. 

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion  

At Miller Industries, we are focused on building a diverse and inclusive workplace that values the unique perspectives and contributions of all our employees. 

Our initiatives are sponsored by our senior executives and our Human Resources (“HR”) organization, and are designed to promote a culture of diversity, 
equity and inclusion. 

We also monitor pay equity, which guides the ongoing analysis and benchmarking to help inform us of our salary and compensation practices. We define 
pay equity as equal pay for people of all gender identities and ethnicities who are performing substantially similar work. Some of the things we consider 
include job-related skills, tenure, experience and education level, performance rating and geography.  

Worker Health and Safety  

The health, safety and security of our employees and contractors is a priority for us. We employ systems designed to continually monitor our facilities and 
work environment to promote worker safety and identify and prevent or mitigate any potential risks. This includes procedures and equipment for security. 
We routinely assess facilities to closely monitor adherence to established security and safety standards. Our workers receive specialized training related to

their role, work setting and equipment used in their work environment. We update relevant safety training modules, which may include new training programs 
as our processes evolve. 

For more information on our approach to human capital management, please refer to our annual Corporate Social Responsibility Report, which is available 
on our website. 

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS  

Our development of the underlift parallel linkage and L-arms, at the time, was considered one of the most innovative developments in the wrecker industry. 
This  technology  continues  to  be  significant  because  it  allows  the  damage-free  towing  of  aerodynamic  vehicles  made  of  lighter  weight  materials.  This 
technology, particularly the L-arms, is still used in a majority of commercial wreckers today. Our patents on the L-arms have expired, but we hold a number 
of utility and design patents for our products. We have also obtained the rights to use and develop certain technologies owned or patented by others.  

Our trademarks “M®” (stylized), “Miller Industries®” (with a stylized “M”), “Century®,” “Holmes®,” “Champion®,” “Challenger®,” “Pro Star®,” “Street Runner®,” 
“Vulcan®,”  “Right  Approach®”  and  “Extreme  Angle®,”  among  others,  are  registered  with  the  United  States  Patent  and  Trademark  Office.  Management 
believes our trademarks are well-recognized by dealers, distributors and end-users in their respective markets and are associated with a high level of quality 
and value. 

GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS AND ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS  

Our business is highly regulated in the United States, at both the federal and state level, and in foreign countries.  

Environment  

Our operations are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment and health and safety, including 
laws and regulations governing the generation, storage, handling, emissions, transportation and discharge of materials into the environment. The costs of 
complying with such environmental protection laws and regulations have not had a material adverse impact on our financial condition or results of operations 
in the past, but we may be subject to other more stringent environmental laws in the future. Our facilities and operations could also be subject to regulations 
related to climate change and climate change (or events caused by climate change) may also have an impact on the Company’s operations. However, 
these impacts are uncertain, and the Company cannot predict with certainty the nature and scope of those impacts. 

In  addition,  laws  and  regulations  intended  to  achieve  the  goal  of  significantly  reducing  engine  emissions  associated  with  the  operation  of  commercial 
vehicles are also being phased in by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and state regulators. For example, the California Air Resources Board’s 
(“CARB”)  Advanced  Clean  Trucks  regulation,  which  has  been  adopted  by  several  other  states,  requires  manufacturers,  including  truck  body  chassis 
manufacturers that supply to us, to sell an increasing percentage of zero-emission or near zero-emission medium and heavy-duty trucks into the California 
market starting in calendar year 2024. CARB’s Advanced Clean Fleets regulation sets requirements for organizations to reduce the overall emissions of 
the vehicle fleets they operate, which affects our customers who own and operate fleets in California. These regulations are intended to drive larger market 
penetration of zero-emission commercial trucks. There are currently multiple efforts underway which seek to prevent or delay some or all of these regulations 
from taking effect, or otherwise seek relief from CARB’s regulations. However, compliance with the regulations as currently written, or new or more stringent 
laws or regulations, or stricter interpretations of existing laws or regulations could materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition or 
cash flows. 

Government Programs 

We act as a subcontractor for certain U.S. and other government programs. As a result, we are subject to regulations and requirements of the U.S. and 
other government agencies and entities that govern these programs, including with respect to the award, administration and performance of contracts under 
such programs. 

Privacy, Data Protection and Cybersecurity 

We are subject to various federal, state and non-U.S. laws and regulations related to privacy, data protection and cybersecurity, including the European 
Union's General Data Protection Regulation (the "GDPR"), and U.S. state laws such as California’s Consumer Privacy Act of 2018. These state laws require 
an information security program based on an ongoing risk assessment, overseeing third-party service providers, investigating data breaches and notifying 
regulators of a cybersecurity event. The GDPR and the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 grant individuals the right to request that a company delete 
or de-identify their personal information. There is a strong possibility that other states, including states in which we transact business, enact their own data 
security regulations and privacy laws.  

Sourcing of Minerals  

We are subject to the additional diligence and disclosure requirements adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) related to certain 
minerals sourced from the Democratic Republic of Congo or adjoining countries in connection with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer 

 9  

 
  
 
 
 
PART I 

ITEM 1. BUSINESS 

Protection Act. The SEC rules impose these obligations with respect to “conflict minerals,” defined as tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold, which are necessary 
to the functionality of a product manufactured, or contracted to be manufactured, by an SEC reporting company. If any “conflict minerals” that are necessary 
to the functionality of a product manufactured by an SEC reporting company originated in the Democratic Republic of Congo or an adjoining country, the 
rules require the issuer to prepare and file a report addressing its efforts to exercise due diligence on the source of such “conflict minerals” and their chain 
of custody. In addition to the SEC regulation, the European Union adopted new requirements for European Union importers of conflict minerals, which went 
into effect on January 1, 2021, and that may impact and increase the cost of our conflict minerals compliance program. 

Regulation of Warranties 

We are subject to the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Federal Trade Commission Improvement Act which regulates the description of warranties on products. 
The  description  and  substance  of  our  warranties  are  also  subject  to  a  variety  of  federal,  state  and  foreign  laws  and  regulations  applicable  to  the 
manufacturing of vehicle components. Management believes that continued compliance with various government regulations will not materially affect our 
operations.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS 

ITEM 1A.    RISK FACTORS  

In addition to information discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-K, you should carefully consider the following risk factors, as well as additional factors not 
presently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial, which could materially affect our business, liquidity, financial condition, and/or results of 
operations in future periods.  

Risks Relating to Our Operations 

Macroeconomic trends, including inflationary pressures, and the availability of financing and uncertain interest rates, could adversely affect 
our business, results of operation or financial condition, as well as our customers’ ability to fund purchases of our products. 

Global economic events and other factors, such as restrictive monetary and fiscal policy, the lingering impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the conflicts 
in Ukraine and the Middle East, have contributed to significant inflation in many of the markets in which we operate. In order to combat inflation and restore 
price stability, the U.S. Federal Reserve and central banks worldwide have raised interest rates and may continue incrementally raising interest rates in 
2024. The combination of increased inflation and interest rates may hinder the economic growth in the U.S. and in the global economy. This economic 
weakness and the possibility of a global recession have had, and may continue to have, a negative effect on our business and financial condition. 

We continue to monitor these inflationary pressures closely and, when possible, attempt to mitigate the risk associated with them, including by implementing 
several price increases and surcharges during 2022 and a price increase effective in the first quarter of 2023. While we have attempted to pass increased 
costs on to our customers, there can be no assurances that we will be able to continue doing so in the future. It is possible that sustained price increases, 
surcharges or price inflation (or inflation pressure generally), in turn, may lead to declines in volume, and while we seek to project tradeoffs between price 
increases, surcharges and inflation, on the one hand, and volume, on the other, there can be no assurance that our projections will prove to be accurate. 

Furthermore, the continued decline of the United States' credit rating or a recession in global or regional economy could negatively impact our business, 
financial condition, and liquidity. Any potential inflation or further pressure on credit markets could also adversely affect our and our customers' ability to 
continue to access preferred sources of liquidity resulting in increased borrowing costs.  

Our dependence upon outside suppliers for component parts, chassis and raw materials, including aluminum, steel, and petroleum-related 
products, leaves us subject to changes in price and availability and delays in receiving supplies of such materials, component parts or 
chassis.  

We are dependent upon outside suppliers for our raw material needs and other purchased component parts. Prices and availability of these raw materials 
are subject to substantial fluctuations that are beyond our control due to factors such as changing economic conditions, inflation, governmental regulations 
(including CARB’s Advanced Clean Trucks regulation), currency and commodity price fluctuations, tariffs, resource availability, transportation costs, weather 
conditions and natural disasters, political unrest and instability, war (such as the ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine) and other factors 
impacting supply and demand pressures. Delays in shipments of our raw materials and purchased component parts, including chassis, and government 
actions related to tariffs on imports and trade policies have previously adversely impacted, and have the potential to further impact our revenues, results of 
operations and financial condition. We also continue to monitor the impact of the Russia conflict with Ukraine on our fuel costs and supply chain for materials 
and component parts, particularly with respect to steel and items with substantial steel content. 

Our third-party suppliers’ ability to supply us with component parts and chassis is limited by their available capacity to manufacture the component parts 
and chassis we require, and to secure adequate freight capacity to deliver them to our facilities. As the economy continued to recover from the impact of 
the pandemic over the course of 2022, various supply chain disruptions continued to impact our ability to obtain certain raw materials, purchased component 
parts and chassis from third party suppliers and resulted in substantial price increases. We continued to experience such difficulties in early 2023. These 
supply chain difficulties have had a material adverse impact on our profitability and results of operations. Delays in deliveries of our finished products due 
to delays of purchased component parts and chassis used in our products could also adversely affect future demand for our products if our customers 
reduce their purchase levels with us and/or seek alternative solutions to meet their demand. If these delays, limitations on availability and price increases 
for raw materials, purchased component parts, and chassis continue, recur or worsen, they will continue to have a material adverse effect on production at 
our facilities. 

Furthermore, as a result of our supply chain challenges, it has become more difficult to accurately forecast, purchase, warehouse and transport to our 
manufacturing  facilities  purchased  materials,  component  parts  and  chassis  at  sufficient  volumes.  If  we  are  unable  to  accurately  match  the  timing  and 
quantities of component purchases to our actual needs, or successfully manage our inventory or our workforce to adapt to the increased complexity in our 
supply chain, we may incur unexpected production disruption, as well as storage, transportation and labor costs, which could have a material adverse effect 
on our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, we may not be able to meet our customers’ delivery schedules and could face the loss of 
orders or customers as a result.  

Shortages, price increases and/or delays in shipments of our raw materials and purchased component parts, including chassis, have had and should be 
anticipated to continue to have a material adverse effect on our profitability, financial performance, competitive position and reputation.

PART I 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS 

Increases in the cost of skilled labor could adversely impact our business and profitability.  

The timely manufacture and delivery of our products requires an adequate supply of skilled labor, and the operating costs of our manufacturing facilities 
can be adversely affected by increasing labor costs in skilled positions. Accordingly, our ability to increase or maintain our current levels of sales, productivity 
and net earnings will be limited to a degree by our ability to control the costs of skilled laborers necessary to meet our requirements. We must attract, train 
and retain skilled employees while controlling related labor costs and maintaining our core values, including safety standards. Our ability to control labor 
costs is subject to numerous external factors, including the limited supply of available skilled labor for hire, prevailing wage rates, increases in healthcare 
and other enhanced employee benefits, in addition to cost increases associated with employee recruitment.  

The  market  for qualified  talent  continues  to  be  competitive  and  we  must  ensure  that  we  continue  to  offer  competitive  wages,  benefits  and  workplace 
conditions to retain qualified employees.  We experienced substantial increases in employee wages throughout 2022 and 2023. This trend may continue 
over the near term, and possibly longer. We continue to monitor our labor costs and attempt to mitigate the risk associated with employee turnover through 
increased recruiting, training and retention efforts. The impact of these disruptions remains largely out of our control, and these factors may continue to 
have a material adverse impact on our profitability and results of operations.  

We invest significant time and expense in training our employees, which increases their value to competitors who may seek to recruit them. If we fail to 
retain our employees, we could incur significant expenses in hiring and training their replacements. There can be no assurance that we will be able to 
maintain an adequate skilled labor force necessary to efficiently operate our facilities. In addition, while our employees are not currently members of a 
union, there can be no assurance that the employees at any of our facilities will not choose to become unionized in the future. 

Demand from our customers and towing operators is affected by the availability of capital and access to credit. 

The ability of our customers and of towing operators to purchase our products is affected by the availability of capital and credit to them. Our independent 
distributor customers rely on floor plan financing in connection with the purchase of our products, and the availability of that financing on acceptable terms 
has a direct effect on the volume of their purchases. More restrictive lending practices in conjunction with continuing increases in the cost of such financing 
can prevent distributors from carrying adequate levels of inventory, which limits product offerings available to the end customer and could lead to reduced 
sales of our products. Additionally, in many cases, a towing operator’s decision to purchase our products from one of our distributors is dependent upon 
their ability to obtain financing upon acceptable terms. Volatility in the capital markets and rising interest rates have increased the cost of borrowing for our 
customers and towing operators.  In the past, such volatility and disruptions to the capital and credit markets, principally in the U.S. and Europe, in the past 
has decreased the availability of capital to, and credit capacity of, our customers and towing operators. In addition, in the past, certain providers of floor 
plan financing have exited the market, which made floor plan financing increasingly difficult for our independent distributor customers to secure at those 
times. This reduced availability of capital and credit has negatively affected the ability and capacity of our customers and of towing operators to purchase 
towing and related equipment. This, in turn, has negatively impacted sales of our products. If interest rates continue to rise and our customers are unable 
to access capital or credit, it could materially and adversely affect our ability to sell our products, and as a result, could negatively affect our business and 
operating results. 

Our business operations are subject to various international political, economic and other uncertainties that could materially adversely affect 
our business results. 

Historically, a portion of our net sales occur outside the United States, primarily in Europe. We also have manufacturing operations at two facilities located 
in Europe. As such, our operations are subject to various international political, economic and other uncertainties, including risks of restrictive taxation 
policies, changing political conditions and governmental regulations and trade policies. The uncertainty surrounding the ongoing military conflicts in Ukraine, 
and more recently in the Middle East, and the United Kingdom’s “Brexit” from the European Union and their impact on European and worldwide economic 
and  supply  chain  conditions.  These  developments  have  created  and  may  continue  to  create  legal,  political  and  economic  uncertainties  and  impacts, 
including disruptions to trade and free movement of goods, services and people to and from Europe, disruptions to our workforce or the workforce of our 
suppliers or business partners. All of the foregoing risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. 

In addition, a portion of our net sales derived outside the United States, as well as salaries of employees located outside the United States and certain other 
expenses, are denominated in foreign currencies, including the British pound sterling and the euro. We are, therefore, subject to risk of financial loss 
resulting from fluctuations in exchange rates of these currencies against the US dollar. Brexit has caused, and may continue to result in, significant volatility 
in global stock markets and currency exchange rate fluctuations of the US dollar relative to other foreign currencies in which we conduct business, including 
both the British pound sterling and the euro.  

In addition, political unrest, terrorist acts, military conflict, including the ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the more recent conflict in 
the Middle East, and disease outbreaks, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, have increased the risks of doing business abroad in general.

PART I 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS 

Our business is subject to the cyclical nature of our industry and changes in consumer confidence and in economic conditions in general. 
Adverse changes or continued uncertainty with respect to these factors may lead to a downturn in our business.  

The towing and recovery industry is cyclical in nature. Historically, the overall demand for our products and our resulting revenues have at times been 
negatively affected by wavering levels of consumer confidence, volatility and disruption in domestic and international capital and credit markets and the 
resulting decrease in the availability of financing for our customers and towing operators and the overall effects of global economic conditions. We remain 
concerned about the potential effects of these factors on the towing and recovery industry, and we continue to monitor our overall cost structure to see that 
it remains in line with business conditions. A prolonged economic downturn, including as a result of political unrest, terrorist acts, military conflict or outbreaks 
of disease such as the COVID-19 pandemic, and slow or negative growth in the domestic and global economy, could have a material adverse effect on our 
business, financial condition and results of operations for the foreseeable future. 

Our sales to U.S. and other governmental entities through prime contractors are subject to special risks. 

We act as a subcontractor for certain U.S. and other government programs. As a result, we are subject to extensive regulations and requirements of the 
U.S. and other government agencies and entities that govern these programs, including with respect to the  award, administration and performance of 
contracts under such programs. Our U.S. and other government business is subject to the following risks, among others: (i) this business is susceptible to 
changes in government spending, which may reduce future revenues; (ii) most of our contracts with governmental entities through prime contractors are 
fixed-price contracts, and our actual costs on any of these contracts could exceed our projected costs, (iii) competition for the award of these contracts is 
intense, and we may not be successful in bidding on future contracts, and (iv) the products we sell to governmental entities are subject to highly technical 
requirements, and any failure to comply with these requirements could result in unanticipated retrofit costs, delayed acceptance of products, late or reduced 
payment or cancellation of the contract. Our inability to address any of the foregoing concerns could seriously harm our business, financial condition and 
results of operations. 

Overall demand from our customers may be affected by increases in their fuel and insurance costs and changes in weather conditions. 

In the past, our customers have experienced substantial increases in fuel and other transportation costs, and in the cost of insurance. Our customers also 
have, from time to time, been subject to unpredictable and varying weather conditions which could, among other things, impact the cost and availability of 
fuel and other materials. More recently, the ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine and market dislocations associated with the economy’s 
recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic have both resulted in, and may continue to result in, substantial volatility in fuel costs in the U.S. and worldwide, 
and the extent and duration of such volatility cannot be predicted. Any of these factors could negatively affect our customers’ capacity for purchasing towing 
and related equipment, and, consequently, have a material negative effect upon our business and operating results. 

Our competitors could impede our ability to attract or retain customers. 

The towing and recovery equipment manufacturing industry is highly competitive. Capital requirements for entry into the towing and recovery manufacturing 
industry  have  been  relatively  low,  which  could  result  in  an  increase  in  the  number  of  competitors  entering  the  industry.  Competition  for  sales  exists 
domestically  and  internationally  at  the  manufacturer,  distributor  and  towing-operator  levels  and  is  based  primarily  on  product  quality  and  innovation, 
reputation, technology, customer service, product availability and price. Competition for sales also comes from the market for used towing and recovery 
equipment. Certain of our competitors may have substantially greater financial and other resources and may provide more attractive dealer and retail 
customer financing alternatives than us. If these competitors are able to make it more difficult for us to attract or retain customers, it could have a negative 
impact on our sales, revenue and financial performance. 

The catastrophic loss of one of our manufacturing facilities could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. 

While we manufacture our products in several facilities and maintain insurance covering our facilities, including business interruption insurance to mitigate 
losses resulting from any production interruption or shutdown caused by an insured loss, a catastrophic loss of the use of all or a portion of any one of our 
manufacturing facilities due to accident, labor issues, weather conditions, natural disaster, civil unrest, terrorist acts, military conflict or disease outbreaks 
(including  the  COVID-19  pandemic),  or  otherwise,  whether  short  or  long-term,  could  materially  harm  our  business,  financial  condition  and  results  of 
operations. Any recovery under our insurance policies may not offset the lost sales or increased costs that may be experienced during the disruption of 
operations. 

Risks Related to Legal, Regulatory and Compliance Matters 

Environmental and health and safety liabilities and requirements could require us to incur material costs. 

We are subject to various U.S. and foreign laws and regulations relating to environmental protection and worker health and safety, including those governing 
discharges  of  pollutants  into  the  ground,  air  and  water;  the  generation,  handling,  use,  storage,  transportation,  treatment  and  disposal  of  hazardous 
substances and waste materials; and the investigation and cleanup of contaminated properties. In certain cases, these regulatory requirements may limit 
the productive capacity of our operations.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS 

In  addition,  laws  and  regulations  intended  to  achieve  the  goal  of  significantly  reducing  engine  emissions  associated  with  the  operation  of  commercial 
vehicles are also being phased in by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and state regulators. For example, the California Air Resources Board’s 
(“CARB”),  Advanced  Clean  Trucks  regulation,  which  has  been  adopted  by  several  other  states,  requires  manufacturers,  including  truck  body  chassis 
manufacturers that supply to us, to sell an increasing percentage of zero-emission or near zero-emission medium and heavy-duty trucks into the California 
market starting in calendar year 2024. 

CARB’s Advanced Clean Fleets regulation sets requirements for organizations to reduce the overall emissions of the vehicle fleets they operate, which 
affects  our  customers  who  own  and  operate  fleets  in  California.  These  regulations  are  intended  to  drive  larger  market  penetration  of  zero-emission 
commercial trucks. There are currently multiple efforts underway which seek to prevent or delay some or all of these regulations from taking effect, or 
otherwise seek relief from CARB’s regulations. However, compliance with the regulations as currently written, or new or more stringent laws or regulations, 
or stricter interpretations of existing laws or regulations could materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.  

Environmental and health-related requirements are complex, subject to change and have tended to become more and more stringent. Future developments 
could cause us to incur various expenditures and could also subject us to fines or sanctions, obligations to investigate or remediate contamination or restore 
natural resources, liability for third party property damage or personal injury claims and the imposition of new permitting requirements and/or the modification 
or revocation of our existing operating permits, among other effects. These and other developments could materially harm our business, financial condition 
and results of operations. 

Our facilities and operations could in the future be subject to regulations related to climate change and climate change (or events caused by climate change) 
may also have some impact on the Company’s operations. However, these impacts are currently uncertain, and the Company cannot presently predict the 
nature and scope of those impacts. 

Failure to comply with domestic and foreign anti-corruption laws could have an adverse effect on our business. 

Our domestic and international operations require us to comply with a number of U.S. and international laws and regulations, including those involving anti-
bribery and anti-corruption. Failure to comply with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.K. Bribery Act, and other foreign anti-bribery laws could have 
an adverse effect on our business. Violations of these laws, or allegations of such violations, could result in our incurring significant fees and having fines 
and criminal sanctions imposed on us or our employees, and could adversely impact our business with government entities. 

Our future success depends upon our ability to develop or acquire proprietary products and technology and assertions against us relating to 
intellectual property rights could harm our business. 

Historically,  we  have  been  able  to  develop  or  acquire  patented  and  other  proprietary  product  innovations  which  have  allowed  us  to  produce  what 
management believes to be technologically advanced products relative to most of our competition. While we are continuing to develop new technology and 
apply for patents, if we are unable to develop or acquire new products and technology in the future, our ability to maintain market share, and, consequently, 
our revenues and operating results, may be negatively affected. 

Our industry is marked by rapid technological developments and innovations (such as the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning) and evolving 
industry standards. If we are unable to provide enhancements and new features and integrations for our existing platform, develop new products that 
achieve market acceptance, or innovate quickly enough to keep pace with these rapid technological developments, our business could be harmed. 

Third parties may claim that our products infringe their patents or other intellectual property rights. If a competitor were to challenge our patents, or assert 
that our products or processes infringe its patent or other intellectual property rights, we could incur substantial litigation costs, be forced to design around 
their patents, pay substantial damages or even be forced to cease our operations, any of which could be expensive and/or have an adverse effect on our 
operating results. Third-party infringement claims, regardless of their outcome, would not only consume our financial resources, but also would divert the 
time and effort of our management and could result in our customers or potential customers deferring or limiting their purchase or use of the affected 
products or services until resolution of the litigation. 

Changes in the tax regimes and related government policies and regulations in the countries in which we operate could adversely affect our 
results and our effective tax rate. 

As a result of our international operations, we are subject to various taxes in both U.S. and non-U.S. jurisdictions. Due to economic and political conditions, 
tax laws, regulations and rates in these various jurisdictions may be subject to significant change. Our future effective income tax rate could be affected by 
changes in the mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates, the adoption of a global minimum tax rate for corporate entities, changes in the 
valuation of deferred tax assets or changes in tax laws or their interpretation. Changes to long-standing tax principles in the countries in which we operate 
could adversely affect our effective tax rate or result in higher cash tax liabilities. Increases in our effective tax rate or tax liabilities could have a material 
adverse effect on us. 

In addition, the provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act, which was enacted in August 2022, include a minimum tax equal to 15% of the adjusted financial 
statement income of certain large corporations, as well as a 1% excise tax on certain share buybacks by public corporations that would be imposed on

PART I 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS 

such corporations.  It is possible that changes under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which was enacted in December 2017, the IRA or other tax legislation 
could increase our future tax liability, which could in turn adversely impact our business and future profitability. 

The effects of regulations relating to conflict minerals may adversely affect our business. 

In  2012,  the  SEC  adopted  rules under  the  Dodd-Frank  Wall  Street  Reform  and  Consumer  Protection  Act  to  improve  transparency  and  accountability 
concerning the supply of certain minerals, known as “conflict minerals”, originating from the Democratic Republic of Congo and adjoining countries. These 
rules could adversely affect the sourcing, availability and pricing of such minerals if they are found to be used in the manufacture of our products, as the 
number of suppliers who provide conflict-free minerals may be limited. In addition, we have incurred and expect to incur additional costs to comply with the 
disclosure requirements, including costs related to determining the source of any of the relevant minerals and metals used in our products. In addition to 
the SEC regulation, the European Union adopted new requirements for European Union importers of conflict minerals, which went into effect on January 
1, 2021, and that may impact and increase the cost of our conflict minerals compliance program. The Company’s supply chain is complex. As a result, we 
have encountered and continue to expect significant difficulty in determining the country of origin or the source and chain of custody for all “conflict minerals” 
used in our products and disclosing that our products are “conflict free” (meaning that they do not contain “conflict minerals” that directly or indirectly finance 
or benefit armed groups in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country). We may face reputational challenges from customers, investors 
or others if we are unable to verify the origins for all “conflict minerals” used in our products. In such event, we may also face difficulties in satisfying 
customers who may require that all of the components of our products be certified as conflict mineral free. 

A product warranty or product liability claim in excess of our insurance coverage, or an inability to acquire or maintain insurance at 
commercially reasonable rates, could have a material adverse effect upon our business. 

We are subject to various claims, including product warranty and product liability claims arising in the ordinary course of business, and may at times be a 
party to various legal proceedings incidental to our business. We maintain reserves and liability insurance coverage at levels based upon commercial norms 
and our historical claims experience. If we manufacture poor quality products or receive defective materials, we may incur unforeseen costs in excess of 
what we have reserved in our financial statements. A successful product warranty, product liability or other claim brought against us in excess of our 
insurance coverage, or the inability of us to acquire or maintain insurance at commercially reasonable rates, could have a material adverse effect upon our 
business, operating results and financial condition. In addition, we are subject to potential recalls of components or parts manufactured by suppliers which 
we  purchase  and  incorporate  into  our  towing  and  recovery  equipment  products,  as  well  as  potential  recalls  of  our  products  from  customers  to  cure 
manufacturing defects or in the event of a failure to comply with applicable regulatory standards or customers’ order specifications. Moreover, the adverse 
publicity that may result from a product liability claim, perceived or actual defect with our products or a product recall could have a material adverse effect 
on our ability to market our products successfully. 

RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK 

Our stock price may fluctuate greatly as a result of the general volatility of the stock market, or from our involvement with activist 
shareholders. 

From time to time, there may be significant volatility in the market price for our common stock. Our quarterly operating results, changes in earnings estimated 
by analysts, if any, changes in general conditions in our industry or the economy or the financial markets or other developments affecting us, including our 
ability to pay dividends, could cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially. 

In addition, we seek to actively engage with shareholders and consider their views on business and strategy.  However, we could be subject to actions or 
proposals  from  shareholders  or  others  that  do  not  align  with  our  business  strategies  or  the  interests  of  our  other  shareholders.    And  publicly  traded 
companies  have  increasingly  become subject  to  campaigns  by activist  investors  advocating  corporate  actions such  as  governance  changes,  financial 
restructurings, increased borrowings, special dividends, stock repurchases or even sales of assets or entire companies to third parties or to the activists 
themselves.  Responding to activist investors could be costly and time-consuming, disrupt our business and operations, adversely affect our relationships 
with our employees, customers, or service providers, and divert the attention of our Board of Directors and senior management.  Further, we may be 
required to incur significant fees and other expenses related to such matters, including fees and expenses for third-party advisors.  Perceived uncertainties  
associated with such activities could interfere with our ability to effectively execute our strategic plan, impact long-term growth, and limit our ability to hire 
and retain qualified personnel, business partners, customers, and others important to our success.  In addition, actions of these shareholders may cause 
periods of fluctuation in our stock price based on temporary or speculative market perceptions or other factors that do not necessarily reflect the underlying 
fundamentals and prospects of our business. 

16 | FY 2023 FORM 10-K 

 
 
 
 
 
 
PART I 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS 

Our charter and bylaws contain anti-takeover provisions that may make it more difficult or expensive to acquire us in the future or may 
negatively affect our stock price. 

Our  charter  and  bylaws  contain  restrictions  that  may  discourage  other  persons  from  attempting  to  acquire  control  of  us,  including,  without  limitation, 
prohibitions on shareholder action by written consent and advance notice requirements regarding amendments to certain provisions of our charter and 
bylaws. In addition, our charter authorizes the issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The rights and preferences for any series of preferred 
stock may be set by the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion and without shareholder approval, and the rights and preferences of any such preferred 
stock may be superior to those of common stock and thus may adversely affect the rights of holders of common stock. 

RISKS RELATED TO INDEBTEDNESS AND LIQUIDITY 

Our credit facility could restrict our ability to operate our business and failure to comply with its terms could adversely affect our business; 
our obligations to repurchase products from third-party lenders could adversely impact our future revenues and financial condition. 

Our  credit  facility  contains  customary  representations  and  warranties,  events  of  default,  and  financial,  affirmative  and  negative  covenants  for  loan 
agreements of this kind. In addition, covenants under our current credit facility restrict our ability to pay cash dividends if the Company would be in violation 
of the minimum tangible net worth test or the leverage ratio test in the current loan agreement as a result of the dividend, among various restrictions. We 
have been in compliance with these covenants throughout 2023 and anticipate that we will continue to be in compliance during 2024. If we fail to comply 
with the requirements of our current credit facility, such non-compliance would result in an event of default. If not waived by the bank, such event of default 
would result in the acceleration of any amounts due under the current credit facility.  

We also have certain obligations to repurchase our products repossessed by third-party lenders if our distributors should default in their obligations to those 
lenders. Such repurchases could result in reduced net revenue in future periods as we resell such products and, if we are unable to sell the products, could 
adversely impact our financial condition. 

We cannot assure you that we will continue to declare dividends on our common stock. 

Our Board of Directors approved a dividend policy in 2011 to consider and pay quarterly dividends on our common stock subject to our ability to satisfy all 
applicable statutory requirements and our continued financial strength. While we currently intend to pay a quarterly dividend on shares of our common 
stock, to the extent that we have sufficient funds available for such purpose, the declaration, amount and payment of any future dividends on shares of 
common stock will be at the sole discretion of our Board of Directors and we may reduce or discontinue entirely the payment of such dividends at any time. 
Our  Board  of  Directors  may  take  into  account  general  and  economic  conditions,  our  financial  condition  and  operating  results,  capital  requirements, 
restrictions in financing agreements and such other factors as they may deem relevant from time to time. 

GENERAL RISK FACTORS 

A disruption in, or breach in security of, our information technology (“IT”) systems or any violation of data protection laws could adversely 
impact our business and operations.  

We rely on the accuracy, capacity and security of our IT systems and our ability to update these systems in response to the changing needs of our business. 
We use our IT systems to collect and store confidential and sensitive data, including information about our business, our customers, our suppliers and our 
employees. We rely on IT systems to protect this information and to keep financial records, process orders, manage inventory, coordinate shipments to 
customers, and operate other critical functions. Our IT systems may be disrupted or fail for a number of reasons, including natural disasters, such as fires; 
power  loss;  software  “bugs”,  hardware  defects  or  human  error  or  malfeasance;  or  security  breaches  caused  by  hacking,  computer  viruses,  malware, 
ransomware or other cyber-attacks. The risk of such cyber-attacks may be heightened as a result of the Russian conflict with Ukraine. 

As technology continues to evolve, we anticipate that we will collect and store even more data in the future and that our systems will increasingly use remote 
communication features that are susceptible to both willful and unintentional security breaches. We have incurred costs and expect to incur significant 
additional costs in order to implement security measures that we feel are appropriate to protect our IT systems. Despite these efforts, future attacks could 
result in our systems or data being breached and/or damaged by computer viruses or unauthorized physical or electronic access. Such a breach could 
result in theft of our intellectual property or trade secrets and/or unauthorized access to controlled data and personal information stored in connection with 
our human resources function. In the event of a breach in security that allows third parties access to personal information, we are subject to a variety of 
ever-changing laws on a global basis that may require us to provide notification to the data owners, and that may subject us to lawsuits, fines and other 
means of regulatory enforcement or harm employee morale.

PART I 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS 

Any disruption, outage or breach of our IT systems could result in interruption of our business operations, damage to our reputation and a loss of confidence 
in our security measures, all of which could adversely affect our business. In addition, if our systems are improperly implemented, breached, damaged or 
cease to function properly, we may have to make significant investments to fix or replace them. To the extent that any data is lost or destroyed or any 
confidential information is inappropriately disclosed or used, it could adversely affect our competitive position or customer relationships, harm our business 
and possibly lead to significant claims, liability, or fines based upon alleged breaches of contract or applicable laws, which liabilities may not be covered by 
insurance. The Company is also required to comply with increasingly complex and changing laws and regulations enacted to protect business and personal 
data in the United States and other jurisdictions regarding privacy, data protection and data security, including those related to the collection, storage, use, 
transmission and protection of personal information and other customer, vendor or employee data. Regulators globally are also imposing greater monetary 
fines for privacy violations including the GDPR that became effective in the European Union in 2018. The GDPR and other changes in laws or regulations 
associated with the enhanced protection of certain types of sensitive data, such as healthcare data or other personal information, could increase our cost 
of providing our products and services.  

Any loss of the services of our key executives could have a material adverse impact on our operations. 

Our success is highly dependent on the continued services of our management team because of the management teams’ experience and skills gained 
from their long-term service to the Company. The loss of services of one or more key members of our senior management team could have a material 
adverse effect on us.

ITEM 1C. CYBERSECURITY 

We  proactively  address  cybersecurity  risk  through  a  comprehensive  cybersecurity  program  to  identify,  protect,  detect  and  respond  to  and  manage 
reasonably foreseeable cybersecurity risks and threats. We use a multi-faceted approach including, but not limited to, third-party assessments, internal 
cybersecurity audits, IT security, governance, risk and compliance reviews. To defend, detect and respond to cybersecurity incidents, we, among other 
things, require mandatory third-party cybersecurity training and testing for all employees, perform periodic user access reviews across the organization, 
perform penetration testing using external third-party tools and techniques to test security controls, employ multifactor authentication and biometrics login 
tools, take steps to verify whether vendors have appropriate cybersecurity programs, and conduct frequent security assessments to identify and remedy 
vulnerabilities.  

We also employ the use of Secure Socket Layer inspection on our firewalls, which are able to decrypt and scan all network traffic entering and leaving our 
facilities. We regularly engage external auditors and consultants to assess our internal cybersecurity programs and compliance with applicable practices 
and standards, including regularly reviewing and updating our incident response plan.  

We have not experienced any material cybersecurity incidents to date. However, as described in Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” any breach of data security could 
result in a disruption of our services or improper disclosure of personal data or confidential information, which could harm our reputation, require us to 
expend resources to remedy such a security breach or defend against further attacks or subject us to liability under laws that protect personal data, resulting 
in increased operating costs or loss of revenue. 

Cybersecurity is an important part of our enterprise-wide risk management processes and an area of focus for our Board and management. The entire 
Board of Directors reviews significant cybersecurity risks and works with the Audit Committee to address these issues. Our Chief Information Officer is 
responsible for overseeing cybersecurity and reports to the Board at all its regular quarterly meetings regarding matters of cybersecurity. These reports 
include  existing  and  new  cybersecurity  risks,  status  on  how  management  is  addressing  and/or  mitigating  those  risks,  cybersecurity  and  data  privacy 
incidents (if any) and updating the status on defensive security measures and risk assessment and key information security initiatives. Our Board members 
also  engage  in  ad  hoc  conversations  with  management  on  cybersecurity-related  news  events  and  discuss  any  updates  to  our  cybersecurity  risk 
management and strategy programs. 

Our Chief Information Officer has been with the Company for more than 25 years, developing and overseeing our information systems and cybersecurity 
risk management program. Our Chief Information Officer and his team, which includes a cybersecurity professional, are informed about, and monitor the 
prevention,  mitigation,  detection  and  remediation  of  cybersecurity  incidents  through  their  management  of,  and  participation  in,  the  cybersecurity  risk 
management and strategy processes described above, including the operation of our incident response plan, and report to the Board and Audit Committee 
on any appropriate items.

The Company has paid consecutive quarterly cash dividends since May 2011. Any future determination as to the payment of cash dividends will depend 
upon factors such as earnings, capital requirements, our financial condition, restrictions in financing agreements and other factors deemed relevant by our 
Board of Directors. Covenants under our current credit facility restrict the payment of cash dividends if the Company would be in violation of the minimum 
tangible net worth test or the leverage ratio test in the current loan agreement as a result of the dividend, among various other restrictions.

ABOUT MILLER INDUSTRIES 

Miller Industries, headquartered in Ooltewah, Tennessee, was formed in 1990 and has become The World’s Largest Manufacturer of Towing and Recovery 
Equipment®, with domestic manufacturing operations in Tennessee and Pennsylvania, and foreign manufacturing operations in France and the United 
Kingdom.  

The Company develops innovative high-quality towing and recovery equipment worldwide. We design and manufacture bodies of car carriers and wreckers, 
which are installed on chassis manufactured by third parties, and resale to our customers under our Century®, Vulcan®, Chevron™, Holmes®, Challenger®, 
Champion®, Jige™, Boniface™, Titan® and Eagle® brand names.  

Our management focuses on a variety of key indicators to monitor our overall operating and financial performance. These indicators include measurements 
of revenue, income from operations, gross margin, net income, earnings per share, capital expenditures and cash flow. 

Our history of innovation in the towing and recovery industry has been an important factor behind our growth over the last decade and we believe that our 
continued emphasis on research and development will be a key factor in our future growth.  

SIGNIFICANT TRENDS AND OUTLOOK  

In 2023, we were presented with several ongoing challenges, such as supply chain constraints, freight challenges, intense inflation, rapidly increasing 
interest rates and labor shortages, all of which impacted our profitability and liquidity. 

Supply Chain 

We continue to see significant pressure on global supply chains due to a confluence of events from the pandemic to geopolitical tensions, and economic 
uncertainty. Logistic disruptions and supplier shortages have caused delays in shipping and freight cost increases. Increases in freight costs and supplier 
constraints due to workforce disruptions and material shortages have affected our ability to receive essential materials and component parts on time. These 
supply chain issues have had a direct impact on our production capabilities. Also affecting supply chain is the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and more recently 
in the Middle East. Given these challenges, we are maintaining focus on meeting the needs of our customers. Ongoing communication and prioritization 
continues with our suppliers in an effort to identify and mitigate such risks and to proactively manage inventory levels of materials and component parts to 
align with anticipated demand for our products. 

The global supply chain issues have also had a direct impact on our production capabilities including production delays and cost pressures. Production 
delays have affected product availability and delivery timelines and increased logistics costs have led to higher operating cost which resulted in price 
adjustments for our products. In 2022, we implemented several price increases and surcharges and announced an eight-percent price increase effective in 
the first quarter of 2023. We have also developed alternatives to some of the components used in our production process that incorporate raw materials, 
and our suppliers have implemented these alternatives in the production of our component parts. In addition, beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2022, 
we sought additional production capabilities through capital deployment, such as our acquisition of SHC in the second quarter of 2023 and our purchase of 
an additional small facility in Ooltewah, TN to be used in the production of small carrier units. 

Based on our strong backlog, the price increases and productivity improvements we have implemented, lessening supply chain disruptions and easing 
inflationary pressures, our operating results improved throughout fiscal 2023 and we believe we are well-positioned to continue enhancing our operating 
results. However, our performance will be heavily influenced by, among other things, whether supply chain constraints and inflationary pressures continue 
to lessen or worsen, the continuing impact of the wars in Ukraine and Middle East or other geopolitical factors, and the threat of recession and general 
economic factors. The impact of these factors remains largely out of our control, and we currently anticipate that these factors will continue to have an 
adverse impact on our production capabilities, financial results and cash flow to continue into fiscal 2024. 

Inflation 

Impacts of current global supply chain disruptions, inflationary environment, geopolitical tensions and other macroeconomic factors can lead to foreign 
currency fluctuations. The impact of inflationary or deflationary pressues have caused and may continue to cause foreign currency translation gains or 
losses within our consolidated statement of comprehensive income/loss.

Comparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 

Net Sales 

Consolidated net sales in fiscal 2023 were $1,153.4 million compared to $848.5 million in fiscal 2022, an increase of 35.9%. The increase in net sales was 
primarily driven by increases in production volume due to supply chain improvements and continued strong customer demand, as well as pricing adjustments 
implemented in the first quarter. 

Net foreign sales in fiscal 2023 were $114.4 million compared to $83.1 million in fiscal 2022, an increase of 38.0%.  

Cost of Operations 

Costs of operations in fiscal 2023 were $1,001.5 million compared to $766.0 million in fiscal 2022, an increase of 30.7%. The increase in cost of operations 
was primarily attributed to increased deliveries resulting from increased stabilization in supply chain.  

Gross Profit 

Gross profit is equal to net sales less cost of sales. Gross profit in fiscal 2023 was $151.9 million compared to $82.4 million in fiscal 2022, an increase of 
84.2%. Cost of sales includes the direct cost of manufacturing, including direct materials, labor and related overhead, physical inventory adjustments, as 
well as inbound and outbound freight.  

Selling, General and Administrative 

Selling, general and administrative expenses in fiscal 2023 were $73.1 million compared to $52.8 million in fiscal 2022, an increase of 38.4%. The increase 
in  selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses was  primarily  due  to  additional  executive  compensation  expense,  investor  relations  activity,  increased 
expenses associated with increased sales volume and increased investment in our workforce, specifically for training and more competitive compensation 
to improve employee retention. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 6.3% in 2023 from 6.2% in 2022. 

Interest Expense, Net 

Interest expense, net in fiscal 2023 was $6.0 million compared to $3.4 million in fiscal 2022, an increase of 76.8%. Increases in interest expense, net were 
primarily due to increased borrowings, increased interest rates and increases in floor plan interest payments, offset by interest income. 

Other (Income) Expense 

The  Company  is  exposed  to  foreign  currency  transaction  risk  when  the  Company  has  transactions  that  are  denominated  in  a  currency  other  than  its 
functional currency. When the related balance sheet items are remeasured in the functional currency of the Company, gains and losses are recorded 
through other (income) expense. Other (income) expense, net is composed primarily of these foreign currency exchange gains and losses. The Company 
experienced a net foreign currency exchange gain of $0.8 million for 2023 compared to a net exchange loss of $0.7 million for 2022. Other (income) expense 
for fiscal 2023 includes $0.2 million of other income.

ITEM 7. MD&A 

Provision for Income Taxes 

The provision for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 reflects a combined federal, state and foreign tax rate of 21.0% and 
21.0%, respectively, which corresponds to a tax provision of $15.5 million in 2023 compared to $5.4 million for 2022. For more information on the effective 
tax rate, see Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements. 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES  

We expect our primary sources of cash to be from cash and temporary investments, cash flow from operations and availability under our credit facility at 
December 31, 2023. We currently believe that, based on available capital resources and projected operating cash flow, we have adequate capital resources 
to fund our operations and expected future cash needs as described below. However, our ability to satisfy our cash needs will substantially depend upon a 
number of factors including our future operating performance, taking into account the economic, regulatory and other factors discussed elsewhere in this 
Annual Report, many of which are beyond our control. 

Cash and Temporary Investments 

At December 31, 2023 and 2022, we had consolidated cash and temporary investments of $29.9 million and $40.2 million, respectively. Our primary cash 
requirements include working capital, capital expenditures, the funding of any declared cash dividends and principal and interest payments on indebtedness.  

At December 31, 2023 and 2022, cash and temporary investments included $18.2 million and $18.3 million held by foreign subsidiaries based in the local 
currency, respectively. We do not currently have plans to repatriate undistributed foreign earnings to the United States and have not determined any timeline 
or amount for any such future distributions.  

Working Capital 

Working capital at December 31, 2023 and 2022 was $275.8 million and $219.9 million, respectively. Changes in working capital, which impact operating 
cash  flow,  can  vary  significantly  depending  on  factors  such  as  the  timing  of  customer  payments,  inventory  purchases  and  payments  to  vendors. 
Management  continually  monitors  working  capital  to  ensure  it  remains  at  levels  to  support  ongoing  operations,  meet  obligations  and  pursue  growth 
opportunities. See “Cash Flows” – “Cash Flows provided by (used in) Operating Activities” contained within this MD&A for additional discussion on working 
capital. 

Capital Expenditures 

Capital expenditures during fiscal 2023 and 2022 were $12.1 million and $28.9 million, respectively. We make ongoing capital investments in our property, 
plant and equipment, and continue to increase purchases of materials, components and chassis to ramp up production to meet demand, which has been 
at historic levels. We believe that in periods of normalized supply chain, our historical capital investments in our manufacturing facilities and other capital 
assets will increase the production capacity and efficiencies of our operations. See “Cash Flows” – “Cash Flows provided by (used in) Investing Activities” 
contained within this MD&A for additional discussion on capital expenditures. 

Dividends 

Our Board of Directors declared quarterly cash dividends of $0.18 per share in fiscal 2023. Future common stock cash dividends will depend on our financial 
condition, results of operations, capital requirements and other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors. See Note 11, Shareholders’ Equity, for 
additional discussion on dividends. 

Indebtedness 

Credit Facility 

On October 28, 2022, we entered into a first amendment to the  loan agreement  with First Horizon Bank (“First Horizon”) that provides an unsecured 
revolving credit facility with a maturity date of May 31, 2027, to increase the credit facility from $50.0 million to $100.0 million, made certain technical and 
operational adjustments necessary to implement the one month Term SOFR Rate (as defined in the loan agreement) as the primary interest rate index 
under the credit facility and added a new asset coverage financial covenant test. All other material terms and conditions of the credit facility remained 
unchanged.  

The Company pays a quarterly, non-usage fee under the current loan agreement at a rate per annum equal to between 0.15% and 0.35% of the unused 
amount  under  the  credit  facility.  The  credit  facility  contains  customary  representations  and  warranties,  events  of  default  and  financial,  affirmative  and 
negative covenants for loan agreements of this kind. 

Our  ongoing  operations  have,  to  date,  been  funded  by  a  combination  of  cash  flow  from  operations  and  borrowings  under  our  credit  facility.  As  of 
December 31, 2023, the Company had $60.0 million in borrowings outstanding under the credit facility. In January 2024, the Company paid $5.0 million 
towards its credit facility and retains a balance of $55.0 million at February 29, 2024.

PART II 

ITEM 7. MD&A 

Changes in interest rates affect the interest paid on indebtedness under our credit facility because the outstanding amounts of indebtedness under our 
current credit facility are subject to variable interest rates. Under our credit facility, the non-default rate of interest is equal to the one-month Term SOFR 
plus 1.00% or 1.25% per annum, depending on our leverage ratio, for a rate of interest of 6.47% at December 31, 2023.  

As of December 31, 2023, we were in compliance with all covenants under the credit facility. 

Other Long-Term Obligations 

Prior to applying a discount rate to our lease liabilities, we had  approximately $0.9 million  in non-cancellable operating lease obligations and no non-
cancellable finance lease obligations for both years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. Leases with original contractual terms less than one year were 
excluded from non-cancellable lease obligations. 

During  fiscal  2021,  we  completed  phase  one  of  our  enterprise  software  solution  implementation.  During  fiscal  2022  and  fiscal  2023,  we  continued  to 
implement additional functionality available in the enterprise software solution. We expect this software to substantially improve our administrative efficiency 
and customer service levels. We have $1.4 million in remaining contractual payments under our agreement with the software provider, which extends 
through 2025.

Cash provided by operating activities during 2023 was $11.0 million, compared to $19.2 million of cash used in operating activities during 2022. Cash 
provided by operating activities is generally attributable to the receipt of payments from our customers as settlement of their contractual obligation once we 
have fulfilled all performance obligations related to our contracts with them. These cash receipts are netted with payments for purchases of inventory, 
payments for materials used in manufacturing and other payments that are necessary in the ordinary course of our operations, such as those for utilities 
and taxes. The change in operating activities is primarily due to increased net income and a stabilization of changes in operating assets and liabilities as a 
result of improved availability of purchased components.  

Cash used in operating activities during fiscal 2022, included purchases of materials, components and chassis to ramp up production to meet our historic 
demand levels and to mitigate various supply chain disruptions. These purchases coupled with the increased costs of inventory and labor caused cash 
provided by operating activities to be exceeded by cash used in operating activities.  

Changes  in  working  capital,  which  impact  operating  cash  flow,  can  vary significantly  depending  on  factors such  as  the  timing  of  customer  payments, 
inventory purchases, payments to vendors and tax payments in the regular course of business. 

Cash Flows provided by (used in) Investing Activities 

Cash used in investing activities during 2023 was $29.1 million, compared to $28.9 million used during 2022. The cash used in investing activities for 2023 
was primarily for the purchase of SHC, Inc., (see Note 2) and purchases of property, plant and equipment.  

Cash used in investing activities during fiscal 2022 was primarily for the purchase of property, plant and equipment, including an aircraft purchased which 
is used to enhance our marketing efforts, establish and maintain our relationships with key suppliers and visit our facilities that are not easily accessible via 
commercial air travel. We also continued to invest in manufacturing automation, ERP system enhancements and employee safety initiatives. 

Cash Flows provided by (used in) Financing Activities 

Cash provided by financing activities during 2023 was $6.8 million, compared to $36.8 million provided by 2022. The cash provided by financing activities 
in 2023 resulted from advances of $15.0 million under the Company’s primary credit facility, offset by the payment of cash dividends of $8.2 million. 

Cash provided by financing activities during fiscal 2022 included advances on the credit facility of $45.0 million, offset by dividend payments of $8.2 million 
and an immaterial amount of payments on finance lease obligations.

ITEM 7. MD&A 

Critical  accounting  policies  and  estimates  are  those  accounting  policies  that  (i) can  have  a  significant  impact  on  our  financial  condition  and  results  of 
operations and (ii) require the use of complex and subjective estimates based upon past experience and management’s judgment. Because estimates are 
inherently uncertain, actual results may differ. In this section, we describe the significant policies applied in preparing our consolidated financial statements 
that management believes are the most dependent on estimates and assumptions. See Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements for further discussion 
on significant accounting policies. 

Allowance for Credit Losses 

The allowance for credit losses includes general and specific reserves. We determine our allowance for credit losses by reviewing accounts receivable 
aging, historical write-off trends, payment history, pricing discrepancies, industry trends, customer financial strength, customer credit ratings or bankruptcies. 
We regularly evaluate how changes in economic conditions may affect credit risks. 

A hypothetical 0.1 percent increase or decrease in the reserve as a percentage of trade receivables at December 31, 2023, would result in an increase or 
decrease in bad debt expense of $0.3 million. We believe the reserve maintained and expenses recorded in fiscal 2023 are appropriate. 
At this time, we are not aware of any analytical findings or customer issues that are likely to lead to a significant future increase in the allowance for credit 
losses as a percentage of revenue. The following table presents information regarding our allowance for credit losses over the past three fiscal years:

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value determined primarily on a moving average unit cost basis. As needed, we record an 
inventory valuation adjustment for excess, slow moving and obsolete inventory that is equal to the excess of the cost of the inventory over the estimated 
net realizable value. The inventory valuation adjustment to net realizable value establishes a new cost basis of the inventory that cannot be subsequently 
reversed.  

In developing inventory valuation adjustments for excess, slow moving, and obsolete inventory, we are required to use judgment and make estimates of 
future sales demand and production requirements compared with current inventory levels.  

Our estimate of forecasted sales demand and production requirements is primarily based on actual orders received, historical and projected sales trends, 
demand, product pricing, and economic trends and competitive factors. Forecasted sales demand and production requirements can also be affected by the 
significant redesign of our existing products.  If actual conditions are less favorable than our assumptions, additional inventory reserves may be required. 

Long-Lived Assets 

Long-lived  assets  are  reviewed  for  impairment  whenever  events  or  circumstances  indicate  that  the  carrying  amount  of  these  assets  may  not  be  fully 
recoverable. When a determination has been made that the carrying amount of long-lived assets may not be fully recovered, the amount of impairment is 
measured  by  comparing  an  asset’s  estimated  fair  value  to  its  carrying  value.  The  determination  of  fair  value  is  based  on  projected  future  cash  flows 
discounted at a rate determined by management, or if available, independent appraisals or sales price negotiations.  

The  estimation  of  fair  value  includes  significant  judgment  regarding  assumptions  of  revenue,  operating  costs,  interest  rates,  property  and  equipment 
additions, and industry competition and general economic and business conditions among other factors. We believe that these estimates are reasonable; 
however, changes in any of these factors could affect these evaluations. Based on these estimates, we believe that our long-lived assets are appropriately 
valued. 

Business Combinations 

When  applicable,  we  account  for  the  acquisition  of  a  business  in  accordance  with  ASC  805,  Business  Combinations,  whereby  the  fair  value  of  total 
consideration  transferred  is  allocated  to  the  assets  acquired  and  liabilities  assumed,  including  amounts  attributable  to  non-controlling  interests,  when 
applicable, based on their respective estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. Goodwill represents the excess of consideration transferred over 
the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired.

PART II 

ITEM 7. MD&A 

The allocation of purchase consideration requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions. Management’s estimates of fair value are 
based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from 
such estimates. During the measurement period, which is no longer than one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the 
assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are recognized in operations. 

While the ultimate responsibility for determining estimated fair values of the acquired net assets resides with management, for material acquisitions we may 
retain the services of certified valuation specialists to assist with assigning estimated fair values to certain acquired assets and assumed liabilities. 

Goodwill 

Goodwill is initially recognized as a result of the excess of purchase consideration transferred over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired in a 
business combination. Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested at least annually for impairment during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year unless events or 
changes in circumstances indicate that impairment may have occurred prior to our annual assessment. 

We may elect to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether changes in events or circumstances since our most recent quantitative test for 
impairment indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its respective carrying amount. We have an unconditional 
option to bypass the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit and proceed directly to performing the quantitative analysis. If elected, in conducting the 
initial qualitative assessment, we analyze our most recent estimates of the fair value of a reporting unit by assessing actual and projected growth trends for 
operating results, as well as historical operating results versus planned performance. Additionally, a reporting unit is assessed for critical areas that may 
impact its operating performance, including macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors such as products and component 
parts and labor, as well as market-related exposures such as fluctuations in our company's market capitalization and share price, and/or any other potential 
risks to operating performance, such as regulatory and environmental changes. If, after evaluating the weight of the changes in events and circumstances, 
both positive and negative, we conclude that an impairment of goodwill may exist, a quantitative test for impairment is performed.  

If performed due to identified impairment indicators under the qualitative assessment or our election to bypass the qualitative assessment and move directly 
to the quantitative analysis, the quantitative impairment analysis for goodwill is conducted under the income approach. Under the income approach, we 
calculate the fair value of our reporting unit’s assets using the present value of future cash flows. Assumptions utilized in determining fair value under the 
income approach include forecasted operating results, terminal growth rates, and weighted-average cost of capital ("WACC") or discount rates. 

Estimating the fair value of a reporting unit requires the use of estimates and significant judgments that are based on a number of factors including actual 
operating results. The use of estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value for a reporting unit and potentially result in 
goodwill impairment. If a reporting unit fails to achieve expected earnings or operating cash flow, or otherwise fails to meet current financial plans, or if there 
were changes to any other key assumptions used in the tests, the reporting unit could incur a goodwill impairment in a future period.  

Warranty Reserves 

Our products are warranted to provide assurance that the product will function as expected and to ensure customer confidence in design, workmanship, 
and overall quality. Warranty coverage on our products is generally provided for specified periods of time and generally covers parts, labor, and other 
expenses for non-maintenance repairs. 

At the time of sale, we recognize expense and record a warranty accrual by product line for estimated costs in connection with forecasted future warranty 
claims. Our estimate of the cost of future warranty claims is based primarily on the estimated number of products under warranty, historical average costs 
incurred to service warranty claims, the trend in the historical ratio of warranty claims to sales, and the historical length of time between the sale and 
resulting warranty claim. If applicable, historical claims experience may be adjusted for known product design improvements. 

We believe that our analysis of historical warranty claim trends and knowledge of potential manufacturing and/or product design improvements provide 
sufficient information to establish a reasonable estimate for the cost of future warranty claims at the time of sale and our warranty accruals as of the date 
of our consolidated balance sheets. However, due to the inherent uncertainty in the accrual estimation process, including forecasting future warranty claims 
and costs associated with servicing future warranty claims, our actual warranty costs incurred may differ from our warranty accrual estimate. An unexpected 
increase in warranty claims and/or in the costs associated with servicing those claims would result in an increase in our warranty accruals and a decrease 
in our net earnings. 

Income Taxes  

We estimate our deferred tax assets and liabilities, income taxes payable, provision for income taxes, and unrecognized tax benefit liabilities based upon 
various factors including, but not limited to, historical pretax operating income, future estimates of pretax operating income, differences between book and 
tax treatment of various items of income and expense, interpretation of tax laws and tax planning strategies. We are subject to income taxes in the U.S. 
and foreign jurisdictions. 

We recognize tax assets and liabilities in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, for income tax accounting. Accordingly, we recognize a tax benefit from 
an uncertain tax position when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination based on the largest benefit that has a greater than

ITEM 7. MD&A 

50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Due to the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in 
a payment that is materially different from our current estimate of the unrecognized tax benefit liabilities. In addition, changes in existing tax laws or rates 
could significantly change our current estimate of our unrecognized tax benefit liabilities. These differences will be reflected as increases or decreases to 
income tax expense in the period in which they are determined. Changes in current estimates, if significant, could have a material adverse impact on our 
financial statements. 

We recognize our deferred tax assets and liabilities based upon the expected future tax outcome of amounts recognized in our results of operations. If 
necessary, we recognize a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not they will not be realized. We evaluate our ability to 
realize the tax benefits associated with deferred tax assets by assessing the adequacy of future expected taxable income, historical and projected operating 
results  and  the  availability  of  prudent  and  feasible  tax  planning  strategies.  The  realization  of  deferred  tax  assets  is  evaluated  by  jurisdiction  and  the 
realizability of these assets can vary based on the character of the tax attribute and the carryforward periods specific to each jurisdiction. We believe it is 
more likely than not the results of future operations will generate sufficient taxable income to realize our existing deferred tax assets, net of valuation 
allowances. Changes in the realizability of our deferred tax assets will be reflected in our effective tax rate in the period in which they are determined. 

Foreign Currency Translations 

The functional currency of the Company's foreign operations is generally the applicable local currency. The functional currency is translated into U.S. dollars 
using the respective current exchange rate in effect as of the balance sheet date for balance sheet accounts and the respective weighted-average exchange 
rate during the period for revenue and expense accounts. The resulting translation adjustments are deferred as a component of other comprehensive 
income within the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and the Consolidated Statements of Shareholders' Equity. Gains or losses resulting 
from transactions denominated in foreign currencies are included in other income, net in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

ITEM 7A.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK 

We are exposed to cash flow and earnings fluctuations as a result of certain market risks. These market risks relate to interest rate risks and foreign 
currency exchange rate risks.  

Interest Rate Sensitivity 

Interest rate risk is significant given the potential effects on our earnings and cash flows. Annually, we perform sensitivity analysis on our exposure to 
interest rates. In conducting this sensitivity analysis, we assumed a hypothetical 100 basis point change in interest rates on our outstanding amounts of 
indebtedness under our credit facility, subject to variable interest rates. Under our credit facility, the non-default rate of interest is equal to the one-month 
Term SOFR Rate plus 1.00% or 1.25% per annum, depending on the leverage ratio. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the effect of a hypothetical 
100 basis point increase or decrease in overall interest rates on our variable rate debt would have changed interest expense by approximately $0.6 million. 
The 100 basis point change on our variable rate debt would not have materially impacted our earnings or cash flows for fiscal 2023. 

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk 

The Company conducts operations in Europe that exposes us to foreign exchange rate risk, primarily with the British Pound and Euro. We are subject to 
inherent foreign exchange rate risk when translating the financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries into the Company’s reporting currency. We actively 
manage foreign currency translation risk through our operating and financing activities. From time to time, we may enter into forward foreign currency 
exchange contracts to mitigate the effects of foreign currency exchange rate risk.  

For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021 the impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes on our results of operations and cash 
flows was a net foreign currency exchange gain of $0.8 million, and a loss of $0.7 million and $0.5 million, respectively.  

For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, we recognized a foreign currency translation gain of $3.2 million, and losses of $4.2 million and 
$2.2 million, respectively because of the strengthening or weakening of the U.S. dollar against certain foreign currencies.

MANAGEMENT’S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures 

We  evaluated,  with  the  participation  of  our  principal  executive  officer  and  principal  financial  officer,  the  effectiveness  of  our  disclosure  controls  and 
procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") as of December 31, 2023. Based 
on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as 
of December 31, 2023 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, 
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms. 

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting 

Management  is  responsible  for  establishing  and  maintaining  adequate  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  as  defined  in  Rules 13a-15(f) and 
15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal controls over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of 
financial  reporting  and  the  preparation  of  consolidated  financial  statements  for  external  purposes  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting 
principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any 
evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may be inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of 
compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. 

Management  conducted  an  evaluation  of  the  effectiveness  of  our  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  as  of  December 31,  2023.  In  making  its 
assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in “Internal Control—
Integrated Framework” (2013). Based on management’s assessment under those criteria, we concluded that, as of December 31, 2023, we maintained 
effective internal control over financial reporting. 

Elliott Davis, LLC, the independent registered public accounting firm who audited the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in this Annual 
Report, has issued an audit report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, which appears 
herein. 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting 

There were no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2023 that have 
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM 

Shareholders and the Board of Directors 
Miller Industries, Inc. 
Ooltewah, Tennessee 

Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control Over Financial Reporting 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Miller Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 
31, 2023 and 2022, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each 
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes (collectively, the “financial statements”). We also have 
audited  the  Company’s  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  as  of  December  31,  2023,  based  on  criteria  established  in  Internal 
Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013. 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of 
December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 
31, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company 
maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established 
in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013. 

Basis for Opinions 

The Company's management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, 
and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual 
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements and 
an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the 
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in 
accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the 
PCAOB. 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to 
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and 
whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA 

Basis for Opinions, Continued 

Our audits of the financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, 
whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, 
evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles 
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our audit of 
internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that 
a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. 
Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits 
provide a reasonable basis for our opinions. 

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting 

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial 
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A 
company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, 
in  reasonable  detail, accurately and fairly reflect  the  transactions  and  dispositions  of  the  assets  of  the company; (2) provide reasonable 
assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted 
accounting  principles,  and  that  receipts  and  expenditures  of  the  company  are  being  made  only  in  accordance  with  authorizations  of 
management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized 
acquisition, use or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any 
evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, 
or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. 

Critical Audit Matters 

Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be 
communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) 
involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. We determined that there are no critical audit matters. 

We have served as the Company's auditor since 2003.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA 

1. 

ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

Description of Business  

Miller Industries, Inc., and subsidiaries (the “Company”) is The World’s Largest Manufacturer of Towing and Recovery Equipment.® The principal markets 
for the Company’s towing and recovery equipment are approximately 74 distributor locations and the users of towing and recovery equipment located 
primarily throughout North America, and approximately 50 distributors that serve other foreign markets. The Company’s products are marketed under the 
brand names of Century®, Vulcan®, ChevronTM, Holmes®, Challenger®, Champion®, JigeTM, BonifaceTM, Titan® and Eagle®.  

Basis of Presentation 

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted ("GAAP") in the 
United States ("U.S.") and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial 
statements include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash 
flows for the periods presented. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. 

To  facilitate  timely  reporting,  the  consolidated  financial  statements  include  accounts  of  certain  subsidiaries  whose  fiscal  closing  dates  differ  from 
December 31st by 31 days (or less). 

Use of Estimates  

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the 
reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates include: income tax accruals, the net realizable 
value of inventory, warranty accruals, allowance for expected credit losses, legal accruals, impairment testing to goodwill, other long-lived assets, stock-
based compensation and valuations of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination or asset acquisition, when applicable. Actual 
results could differ materially from those estimates. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience 
and other factors that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, including the current economic environment and other relevant 
factors, as applicable. Management adjusts such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate.  

Reclassifications  

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified for consistency with current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported 
results.  Specifically,  we  disaggregated  accrued  liabilities  from  other  and  reclassed  financing  lease  cost.  Additionally,  we  have  separated  stock-based 
compensation on the Consolidated Statement of Shareholders Equity. 

Cash and Temporary Investments 

Cash consists of deposits held at financial institutions. We consider liquid investments purchased with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash 
equivalents. The carrying value of cash equivalents approximates fair value.  

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses  

Trade receivables are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $1.5 million and $1.3 million at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. 
We regularly monitor past due accounts and establish appropriate reserves to cover potential losses. Since the Company’s trade receivables are largely 
similar, the Company evaluates its allowance for credit losses as one portfolio segment. The allowance is estimated using a combination of factors including 
the age of receivable balances and historical credit loss experience, supplemented by the Company’s knowledge of customer specific information, the 
current economic environment, customer credit ratings or bankruptcies and reasonable and supportable forecasts to develop our allowance for credit losses. 
We write off any amounts deemed uncollectible against the established allowance for credit losses. 

For receivables not serviced through third-party floor plan financing arrangements, the company extends credit ranging in terms depending on product line, 
to customers in the normal course of business. For a rollforward of the allowance for credit losses, see “Schedule II – Valuation of Qualifying Accounts” 
contained herein. 

Concentrations of Credit Risk 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and temporary investments 
and  trade  accounts  receivable.  Cash  and  temporary  investments  consist  primarily  of  cash  on  deposit  or  short-term  liquid  investments  with  original 
contractual maturities of three months or less. At times, we have cash deposited with major financial institutions in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance 
Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits. We have not historically incurred any related losses.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA 

Our trade receivables are exposed to a concentration of credit risk with certain large customers. We perform regular credit evaluations of our customers’ 
financial conditions and maintain reserves for losses through the established allowance for doubtful accounts. Historically, such losses have been within 
our expectations. At December 31, 2023, there was no one customer with a trade account receivable of greater than 10.0% of the Company’s total trade 
receivables. At December 31, 2022, there was one customer with a trade account receivable of 10.6% of the Company’s total trade receivables. 

Refer to the "Accounts Receivables and Allowance for Credit Losses" policy within this Note for additional information on the accounting treatment of 
reserves for allowance for credit losses. 

Inventories, Net 

Inventory costs associated with the manufacturing of inventories include materials, labor and factory overhead. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost 
or net realizable value determined primarily on a moving average unit cost basis. Appropriate consideration is given to obsolescence, valuation and other 
factors in determining net realizable value. Net realizable value is the value of an asset that can be realized upon the sale of the asset, less a reasonable 
estimate of the costs associated with the sale of the asset. Significant variances in those estimates may require a revision to future inventory reserve 
estimates. 

Property, Plant and Equipment 

Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Property, plant and equipment held for sale are recorded at the lower of 
cost less accumulated depreciation or fair value less any cost to sell. Fully depreciated assets are retained in property, plant and equipment and accumulated 
depreciation until they are removed from service. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related costs and accumulated depreciation are 
removed from the consolidated balance sheets and any resulting gain or loss from disposition is recorded as other (income) expense, net in the consolidated 
statements of income in the period realized. When certain events or changes in operating conditions occur, an impairment assessment may be performed 
on the recoverability of the carrying amounts. 

We capitalize project costs relating to computer software development when the activities related to the project reach the application stage and amortize 
those costs to expense on a straight-line basis over five years. Costs that are associated with the preliminary stage activities, training, maintenance and all 
other post-implementation stage activities are expensed as they are incurred. 

Depreciation expense for financial reporting purposes is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Buildings 
and improvements are depreciated over 20 to 30 years, and machinery and equipment, furniture and fixtures and software costs are depreciated over 5 to 
10 years. Expenditures for routine maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.  

Business Combinations  

Business combinations are accounted for under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations, using the acquisition method of 
accounting under which all acquired tangible and identifiable intangible assets and assumed liabilities and applicable noncontrolling interests are recognized 
at fair value as of the respective acquisition date, while the costs associated with the acquisition of a business are expensed as incurred.  

The company may refine the estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, if necessary, over a period not to exceed one year from the 
date of acquisition by taking into consideration new information about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known at the 
date of acquisition, would have affected the estimated fair values ascribed to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Net working capital adjustments 
related to the acquisitions are estimated as of the closing date and will be adjusted based on that estimate. Net working capital adjustments, if any, will be 
recorded in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet. During the measurement period, any purchase price allocation changes that impact the carrying 
value of goodwill would also affect the amount of goodwill impairment taken, if applicable. If necessary, purchase price allocation revisions that occur outside 
of the measurement period are recorded within cost of sales or selling, general and administrative expense within the consolidated statements of income 
depending on the nature of the adjustment. 

When an acquisition does not meet the definition of a business combination because either: (i) substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired 
is concentrated in a single identifiable asset, or group of similar identified assets, or (ii) the acquired entity does not have an input and a substantive process 
that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs, the company accounts for the acquisition as an asset acquisition. 

Goodwill 

Goodwill  represents  the  excess  of  consideration  transferred  over  the  estimated  fair  value  of  assets  acquired  and  liabilities  assumed  in  a  business 
combination.  

Goodwill is not amortized. However, the Company reviews goodwill for impairment annually, during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year or whenever events 
or changes in circumstances indicate that an impairment may exist. In conducting our annual impairment test, the Company first reviews qualitative factors 
to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If factors indicate that the fair value of a 
reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the Company performs a quantitative assessment and the fair value is determined by analyzing the expected 

 41  

 
  
 
 
 
PART II 

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA 

present value of future cash flows. If the carrying value of a reporting unit continues to exceed its fair value, the fair value of goodwill is calculated and an 
impairment loss equal to the excess is recorded. 

Long-Lived Assets 

Long-lived  assets  are  reviewed  for  impairment  whenever  events  or  circumstances  indicate  that  the  carrying  amount  of  these  assets  may  not  be  fully 
recoverable. When a determination has been made that the carrying amount of long-lived assets may not be fully recovered, the amount of impairment is 
measured  by  comparing  an  asset’s  estimated  fair  value  to  its  carrying  value.  The  determination  of  fair  value  is  based  on  projected  future  cash  flows 
discounted at a rate determined by management, or if available, independent appraisals or sales price negotiations. No impairment loss was recognized 
for long-lived assets during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Our  leases  are  primarily  for  facilities  and  certain  equipment.  We  determine  if  an  arrangement  is  a  lease  at  its  inception  by  evaluating  whether  the 
arrangement conveys the right to use an identified asset and whether we obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from and have the ability to direct 
the use of the asset. Lease obligations represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. 

Operating  lease  right-of-use  assets  and  corresponding  operating  lease  liabilities  are  recognized  in  our  consolidated  balance  sheets  at  the  lease 
commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Operating lease expense for operating lease assets is recognized 
on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Finance lease expense is recognized as the expense from straight-line amortization of the right-of-use asset 
plus the periodic interest expense from the lease obligation. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our collateralized incremental 
borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. We use the implicit 
rate if it is readily determinable. 

We apply a practical expedient for short-term leases whereby we do not recognize a lease liability and right-of-use asset for leases with a term of less than 
12 months. Short-term lease expense recognized in fiscal 2023, 2022 and 2021 was immaterial. We do not separate lease and non-lease components. 
Our leases have remaining lease terms and expire at various dates through 2027. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease 
when it is reasonably certain and there is a significant economic incentive to exercise that option. Lease payments during renewal periods were considered 
in the calculation of right-of-use assets and lease obligations. 
See Note 9 for additional information regarding leases. 

Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities  

Contract assets are recognized when a performance obligation has been satisfied and the Company has an unconditional right to receive payment for the 
goods or services transferred. Contract assets are transferred to accounts receivable when the rights for payment become unconditional. Contract liabilities 
are recognized when the Company receives consideration from a customer before satisfying a performance obligation. 

For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 the Company did not have contract assets. Terms on account receivables vary and are based on 
specific terms agreed upon with the customer. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, contract liabilities were $0.2 million, $0.2 million 
and $0.3 million, respectively, and are included in accrued liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. For the years ended December 31, 
2023, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not increase contract liabilities. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the Company settled 
$15.0 thousand, for each of the three years ended of this liability with a contract credit in lieu of satisfaction of these obligations. 

Product Warranty 

Our products are warranted to provide assurance that the product will function as expected and to ensure customer confidence in design, workmanship, 
and overall quality. Warranty coverage on our products is generally provided for specified periods of time and generally covers parts, labor, and other 
expenses for non-maintenance repairs.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA 

At the time of sale, the Company recognizes expense and records an accrual for estimated costs. The Company’s estimate of the cost of future warranty 
claims is based primarily on the estimated number of products under warranty, historical average costs incurred to service warranty claims, the trend in the 
historical ratio of warranty claims to sales and the historical length of time between the sale and resulting warranty claim. 

Warranty expense in 2023, 2022 and 2021, was $4.0 million, $3.2 million and $2.4 million, respectively. 

The table below provides a summary of the warranty liability:

The functional currency for the Company’s foreign operations is the applicable local currency. The translation from the applicable foreign currencies to U.S. 
dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts using current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, historical rates for equity and the weighted 
average exchange rate during the period for revenue and expense accounts. Foreign currency translation adjustments resulting from such translations are 
included in shareholders’ equity. Intercompany transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are remeasured into the functional 
currency. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in other (income) expense, net in our consolidated statements of 
income. 

Income Taxes 

We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method. The Company is subject to income taxes in both the United States and foreign jurisdictions.  

Deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  are  recognized  for  the  future  tax  consequences  attributable  to  differences  between  the  financial  statement  carrying 
amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected 
to apply to taxable income in the years that those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and 
liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income tax expense in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided 
when, in management's judgment, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Tax loss carryforwards, 
reversal of deferred tax liabilities, tax planning and estimates of future taxable income are considered in assessing the need for a valuation allowance. 

The company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if it is more likely than not that those positions will be sustained. Recognized income tax 
positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50.0 percent likely to be realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected 
in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company also records interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within income 
tax expense. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company reported no unrecognized tax benefits in the consolidated balance sheets and no activity 
relating to unrecognized tax positions was recognized in the consolidated statements of income. 

Revenue Recognition 

Revenues are recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with a customer are satisfied. Generally, this occurs upon shipment, which is 
when control of the promised goods or service is transferred to a customer. From time to time, revenue is recognized under a bill and hold arrangement. 
Recognition of revenue on bill and hold arrangements occurs when control transfers to the customer. Control transfers when the reason for the bill and hold 
arrangement is substantive, the product is separately identified as belonging to the customer, the product is ready for physical transfer and the product 
cannot be used or directed to another customer.   

Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for the transfer of products. Sales and other taxes collected 
concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. Depending on the terms of the arrangement, for certain contracts the Company 
may defer the recognition of a portion of the consideration received because a future obligation has not yet been satisfied, such as an extended warranty 
contract. An observable stand-alone selling price for separate performance obligations or a cost-plus margin approach is utilized when one is not available.

The Company’s research and development costs are expensed as incurred and included in cost of operations and to a lesser extent in selling, general and 
administrative expenses. Research and development costs were $6.0 million, $4.0 million and $3.6 million, for fiscal years ending December 31, 2023, 
2022 and 2021, respectively. 

Shipping and Handling  

The Company records revenues earned for shipping and handling as revenue, while the costs are primarily included in cost of operations in our consolidated 
statements of income (loss). Costs include all delivery expenses as well as all costs to prepare the product for shipment.  

Stock-Based Compensation 

Stock-based compensation provided to employees and non-employee directors is recognized in the consolidated statements of income/(loss) based on the 
grant  date  fair  value  of  the  awards.  The  fair  value  of  restricted  stock  units  is  determined  by  the  grant  date  market  price  of  our  common  shares.  The 
compensation expense recognized for stock-based awards is net of estimated forfeitures and is recognized ratably over the service period of the awards. 
All income tax effects of share-based awards are recognized in the consolidated statements of income/(loss) as awards vest or are settled. We classify 
stock-based  compensation  in  selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses  within  the  consolidated  statements  of  income.  See  Note  12  for  additional 
information regarding stock-based compensation.  

On  November  6,  2023,  the  Compensation  Committee  approved  the  Excess  Incentive-Based  Compensation  Recoupment  Policy  of  the  Company  (the 
“Policy”), with an effective date of November 6, 2023, in order to comply with the final clawback rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission 
under Section 10D and Rule 10D-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Rule 10D-1”), and the listing standards of the New York Stock 
Exchange (together with Rule 10D-1, the “Final Clawback Rules”). The Policy provides for the mandatory recovery of erroneously awarded incentive-based 
compensation from current and former executive officers of the Company, as defined in Rule 10D-1, in the event the Company is required to prepare an 
accounting restatement, in accordance with Final Clawback Rules. 

Earnings Per Share  

We compute basic earnings per share based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. We calculate 
diluted  earnings  per  share  based  on  the  weighted  average  number  of  shares  of  common  stock  plus  the  effect  of  potentially  dilutive  common  shares 
outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive common shares include outstanding restricted stock units. When we are in a loss position for the period, 
dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation of earnings per share, as they would have an anti-dilutive effect. See Note 13.   

Recently Adopted Standards  

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts 
with Customers. The amendments in this Update require that an entity recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business 
combination in accordance with Topic 606 as if it had originated the contracts. The amendments in this Update were effective for the Company for fiscal 
years ending December 31, 2023 including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption was permitted including adoption at an interim period. 
The Company has applied the amendments prospectively. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated 
financial statements and related disclosures. 

Recently Issued Standards 

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The amendments 
in this Update require an entity to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis and to provide in interim 
periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. The ASU also requires entities with a 
single reportable segment to provide all segment disclosures under ASC 280, including the new disclosures under this ASU. The amendments in this

Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after 15 December 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after 15 December 2024, with 
early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on our disclosures. 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amendments in this Update 
improve transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation 
and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. It also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. 
The  amendments  in  this  Update  are  effective  for  fiscal  years  beginning  after  15  December  2024,  with  early  adoption  permitted  for  annual  financial 
statements that have not been issued or made available for issuance. We are currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on our disclosures. 

2.          BUSINESS COMBINATIONS 

On May 31, 2023, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Southern Hydraulic Cylinder, Inc., (“SHC”), a 
Tennessee corporation. SHC manufactures, sells and services hydraulic cylinders and related components. The operations of SHC align with those of the 
Company, which management believes will strengthen its efforts to enhance the stability of the Company’s supply chain. 

The purchase price totaling approximately $17.4 million was comprised of cash on hand and by drawing on the existing revolving credit facility. 

The preliminary allocation of the consideration for the net assets acquired from the acquisition of SHC were as follows:

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and is  deductible for tax purposes. 
The acquisition of SHC resulted in the recognition of $8.4 million of goodwill. The Company believes goodwill is attributable to the Company’s investment 
for its ability to stabilize supply chain through vertical integration and introducing automation and improving production efficiency and the workforce of the 
acquired business. 

The real property fair value of $3.0 million was comprised of land and buildings of $2.8 million and cranes of $0.2 million. The fair value was determined by 
a third-party appraisal performed using a sales comparison approach and income approach. Net book value was determined to approximate fair market 
value for the remaining fixed assets. 

Identifiable intangible assets consisted of a restrictive covenant agreement of $25.0 thousand and order backlog of $168.0 thousand. The fair value of 
intangible assets was determined by a third party valuation. The restrictive covenant agreement and order backlog were valued using the income approach, 
specifically the with and without method and multi-period excess earnings method, respectively.  

The fair value of the assets acquired includes trade receivables of $2.2 million that are not purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. The Company 
does not anticipate any markdowns of trade receivables or corresponding credit losses.  

The results of operations of SHC for the period from the May 31, 2023 acquisition date through December 31, 2023, are included in the accompanying 
consolidated statements of operations since the acquisition date. Transaction costs associated with the acquisition were not significant. 

Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Information (Unaudited) 

The results of operations for SHC, and the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been included in the Company’s 
consolidated financial statements since its respective date of acquisition. For the year ended December 31, 2023 and since the June 1, 2023 date of its 
acquisition, SHC contributed approximately $6.0 million to the Company’s revenues and increased pretax income by approximately $1.1 million. Earnings 
for the period include adjustments made for the elimination of intercompany sales and profits, as well as sales of finished goods recorded at market value 
as part of the acquisition.

On October 28, 2022, we entered into a first amendment to the loan agreement with First Horizon Bank to increase the credit facility from $50.0 million to 
$100.0  million,  made  certain  technical  and  operational  adjustments  necessary  to  implement  the  one-month  Term  SOFR  Rate  (as  defined  in  the  loan 
agreement) as the primary interest rate index under the credit facility, and added a new asset coverage financial covenant test. All other material terms and 
conditions of the credit facility remained unchanged. All borrowings under the amended credit facility bear interest at the one-month Term SOFR Rate plus 
1.00% or 1.25% per annum. 

The credit facility contains customary representations and warranties, events of default, and financial affirmative and negative covenants. Covenants under 
the credit facility restrict the payment of cash dividends if we would be in violation of the minimum tangible net worth test or the leverage ratio test as a 
result of the dividend, among other restrictions.   

Interest expense on the credit facility was $3.4 million, $1.1 million and $0.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively.  
We were in compliance with all covenants under the credit facility as of December 31, 2023. 

The Company had outstanding borrowings of $60.0 million under the credit facility at December 31, 2023. The Company had outstanding borrowings of 
$45.0 million under the credit facility at December 31, 2022.

Deferred tax assets represent the future tax benefit of future deductible differences and, if it is more likely than not that a tax asset will not be realized, a 
valuation allowance is required to reduce the recorded deferred tax assets to net realizable value. The Company has evaluated positive and negative 
evidence to assess the realizability of its deferred taxes. Based on the evidence, the Company believes it is more likely than not that its deferred tax assets 
will be realizable. Accordingly, the Company has not included a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets at this time.  

We do not currently have plans to repatriate undistributed foreign earnings to the United States and have not determined any timeline or amount for any 
such future distributions. 

As  of  December 31,  2023  and  2022,  the  Company  had  no  federal  net  operating  loss  carryforwards,  and  a  state  net  operating  loss  carryforward  of 
approximately $3.7 million.  

The Company is subject to United States federal income taxes, as well as income taxes in various states and foreign jurisdictions.  The Company’s 2020 
and later tax years remain open to examination by the tax authorities.  With few exceptions, as of December 31, 2023, the Company is no longer subject 
to U.S. federal, state or non-U.S. income tax examination prior to 2020.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES 

Commitments 

At December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had commitments of approximately $8.6 million and $6.4 million, respectively, for construction 
and acquisition of property, plant and equipment. The Company migrated its enterprise resource planning (ERP) system to a multi-tenant cloud environment 
in 2021 and is continuing to implement additional modules such as enterprise performance management, human capital management, data analytics and 
the use of artificial intelligence. At December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had commitments related to the continuing implementation 
project of approximately $1.4 million and $2.6 million, respectively, in software license fees payable in installments through 2025. 

Contingencies 

The  Company  has  entered  into  arrangements  with  third-party  lenders  where  it  has  agreed  to  repurchase  products  that  are  repossessed  from  the 
independent distributor customer in the event of default. These arrangements are typically subject to a maximum repurchase amount. For fiscal years 
ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the maximum amount of collateral the Company could be required to purchase was $128.7 million and 
$74.1 million, respectively. The Company’s financial exposure under these arrangements is limited to the difference between the amount paid to third-party 
lenders for repurchases of inventory and the amount received upon subsequent resale of the repossessed product. The Company had no repurchases of 
inventory during fiscal 2023 and 2022 and concluded the liability associated with potential repurchase obligations was neither probable, nor material.  

Litigation 

We are subject to a variety of claims and lawsuits that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business. The Company has established accruals 
for matters that are probable and reasonably estimable and maintains product liability and other insurance that management believes to be adequate. 
Although management believes that any pending claims and lawsuits will not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or 
results of operations, the adjudication of such matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s assessment may change depending on 
future events.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA 

15. 

CORRECTION OF PRIOR PERIOD ERRORS 

As previously disclosed in Note 11 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, the Company 
identified prior period accounting errors that the Company has concluded are not material to the Company’s previously reported consolidated financial 
statements  and  unaudited  interim  condensed  consolidated  financial  statements.  The  financial  reporting  periods  affected  by  these  errors  include  the 
Company’s previously reported consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 and the Company’s previously reported 
unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial information for each of the quarterly and fiscal year-to-date periods in the fiscal year ended December 
31, 2022 (collectively the “previously reported financial statements”). 

Based on management’s evaluation of the accounting errors under the SEC Staff’s Accounting Bulletins Nos. 99 (“SAB 99”) and 108 (“SAB 108”) and 
interpretations thereof, the Company concluded the errors are not material, on an individual or aggregate basis, to the Company’s previously reported 
financial statements.  The errors originated many years ago, are less than 3.6% of the impacted accounts, and would not materially impact ratios or amounts 
relied upon by users of the financial statements. However, the Company further concluded the accounting errors cannot be corrected as an out-of-period 
adjustment in the Company’s current period consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, because to do so would 
cause a material misstatement in those financial statements. Accordingly, the Company proceeded according to the guidance prescribed by SAB 108 which 
specifies that the errors must be corrected the next time the previously reported financial statements are filed. Therefore, the Company corrected these 
accounting errors in all of the Company’s previously reported annual and interim consolidated financial statements impacted by the errors, which includes 
the accompanying consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022.  

The following tables present the impact of correcting these errors on the Company’s previously reported financial statements for the periods presented:
