RAISED FULL YEAR GUIDANCE FOR GROSS MARGIN AND ADJUSTED EBITDA¹ TO REFLECT IMPROVED PROFITABILITY

BATAVIA, NY, November 8, 2024 – Graham Corporation (NYSE: GHM) (“GHM” or the “Company”), a global leader in the design and manufacture of mission critical fluid, power, heat transfer and vacuum technologies for the defense, space, energy, and process industries, today reported financial results for its second quarter for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025 (“fiscal 2025”). Results for the quarter include the P3 Technologies, LLC (“P3”) acquisition, which closed on November 9, 2023.

“Our team’s efforts to diversify and strengthen the business over the past few years are clearly yielding results, as shown by our record second-quarter performance,” commented Daniel J. Thoren, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Strong sales growth in our markets, along with exceptional execution throughout the business, have driven meaningful margin expansion. Our strategic emphasis on higher-margin opportunities and operational efficiencies has been a key driver of this success.”

Mr. Thoren added, “We are also focused on recruiting and retaining top talent, and have initiatives to enhance our supply chain, which helps us to improve performance and manage our risk. These initiatives, along with our strengthened balance sheet, robust orders², and growing backlog², we believe positions us well to sustain growth and profitability for the next several years. Importantly, we have raised our full-year adjusted EBITDA guidance, keeping us firmly on track to achieve our FY2027 target of low to mid-teen adjusted EBITDA margins.”

Graham believes that, when used in conjunction with measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin, which are non-GAAP measures, help in the understanding of its operating performance. See attached tables and other information on pages 10 and 11 for important disclosures regarding Graham’s use of these non-GAAP measures.

Record quarterly net sales of $53.6 million increased 19%, or $8.5 million, and included $0.9 million of incremental sales from P3. Sales to the defense market grew by $5.8 million, or 23%, driven by the expansion of new defense programs, the ramp-up of existing programs, and the timing of key project milestones. Additionally, higher refining and chemical/petrochemical sales contributed $2.2 million to the growth, largely reflecting the timing of capital improvement projects. Aftermarket sales to the refining, chemical/petrochemical, and defense markets of $9.8 million remained strong but were $1.5 million lower than the prior year record levels. See supplemental data for a further breakdown of sales by market and region.

Gross margin expanded 790 basis points to 23.9%, driven by the leverage on higher volume, a favorable mix toward higher margin projects, improved pricing, and better execution. Additionally, gross profit for the quarter benefited $0.4 million, or approximately 80 basis points, due to the $2.1 million grant from the BlueForge Alliance. This grant is reimbursing the Company for the cost of its defense welder training programs in Batavia and related equipment. Graham expects to realize similar gross profit benefits from the grant over the next two quarters, or for the remainder of fiscal 2025.

Selling, general and administrative expense (“SG&A”), including amortization, totaled $9.2 million, or 17.1% of sales, up $2.8 million compared with the prior year. This increase reflects the Company’s continued investments in its operations, employees, and technology. Notable contributors to the increase included $0.4 million of incremental costs related to P3, $0.3 million increase in the supplemental performance bonus for Barber-Nichols employees³, $0.2 million for enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) conversion costs at the Batavia facility, and $0.2 million of incremental research and development expenses. The remainder of the increase in SG&A was primarily related to increased costs associated with the Company’s growth and various other initiatives.

 

3	Supplemental performance bonus is related to the 2021 acquisition of Barber Nichols, LLC. The Barber-Nichols performance bonus expense will be completed at the end of fiscal year 2026.

Included in other operating income for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 was a $0.6 million reversal of a previously accrued contingent earnout liability for P3. The reversal was not due to any lost orders, but rather a delayed project that extended beyond the earnout period.

Cash Management and Balance Sheet

Cash provided by operating activities totaled $22.6 million for the six month period ending September 30, 2024, nearly double the amount from the comparable period in fiscal 2024. As of September 30, 2024, cash and cash equivalents were $32.3 million, up from $16.9 million at the end of fiscal 2024.

Capital expenditures of $6.5 million for the first six months of fiscal 2025 were focused on capacity expansion and productivity improvements. The Company increased its expected fiscal 2025 capital expenditures to be in the range of $13.0 million to $18.0 million from its previous expectations of $10.0 million to $15.0 million due to a land purchase in Arvada, CO, and plans to build a liquid hydrogen and oxygen testing facility to support future growth and customer needs.

The Company had no debt outstanding at September 30, 2024 with $43 million available on its senior secured revolving credit facility after taking into account outstanding letters of credit.

Orders, Backlog, and Book-to-Bill Ratio

See supplemental data filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 8-K and provided on the Company’s website for a further breakdown of orders and backlog by market. See “Key Performance Indicators” below for important disclosures regarding Graham’s use of these metrics.

 

(in millions)		Q2 24				Q3 24				Q4 24				FY24				Q1 25				Q2 25				YTD FY25
Orders		$	36.5			$	123.3			$	40.8			$	268.4			$	55.8			$	63.7			$	119.4
Backlog		$	313.3			$	399.2			$	390.9			$	390.9			$	396.8			$	407.0			$	407.0

Orders for the three-month period ended September 30, 2024, were $63.7 million, resulting in a book-to-bill ratio of 1.2x. Defense orders represented 48% of total orders and included a contract to supply the MK19 air turbine pump for the torpedo ejection system on the Columbia-class submarine. Space orders, which can fluctuate due to the timing of projects, saw a meaningful increase to $13.5 million, which included a contract for the cryogenic recirculation pump that provides thermal conditioning for upper stage engines on launch vehicles in space. Refining orders totaled $10.6 million and were driven by continued strength in aftermarket demand and the timing of new capital projects.

Backlog at quarter end reached a record $407.0 million, up 30% over the prior-year period and up 3% sequentially. Approximately 35% to 45% of orders currently in backlog are expected to be converted to sales in the next twelve months and another 30% to 40% is expected to convert to sales over the following year. The majority of orders expected to convert beyond twelve months are for the defense industry, specifically the U.S. Navy.

continue to strengthen relationships with customers in the defense industry, its ability to secure future projects and applications, expected expansion and growth opportunities, anticipated sales, revenues, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margins, capital expenditures and SG&A expenses, the timing of conversion of backlog to sales, orders, market presence, profit margins, tax rates, foreign sales operations, customer preferences, changes in market conditions in the industries in which it operates, changes in general economic conditions and customer behavior, forecasts regarding the timing and scope of the economic recovery in its markets, and its acquisition and growth strategy, are forward-looking statements. Because they are forward-looking, they should be evaluated in light of important risk factors and uncertainties. These risk factors and uncertainties are more fully described in Graham Corporation’s most recent Annual Report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), included under the heading entitled “Risk Factors”, and in other reports filed with the SEC.

Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or should any of Graham Corporation’s underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those currently anticipated. In addition, undue reliance should not be placed on Graham Corporation’s forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, Graham Corporation disclaims any obligation to update or publicly announce any revisions to any of the forward-looking statements contained in this news release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as consolidated net income (loss) before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, other acquisition related expenses, and other unusual/nonrecurring expenses. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of sales. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are not measures determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, commonly known as GAAP. Nevertheless, Graham believes that providing non-GAAP information, such as Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, is important for investors and other readers of Graham’s financial statements, as it is used as an analytical indicator by Graham’s management to better understand operating performance. Moreover, Graham’s credit facility also contains ratios based on Adjusted EBITDA. Because Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP measures and are thus susceptible to varying calculations, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin, as presented, may not be directly comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share are defined as net income and net income per diluted share as reported, adjusted for certain items and at a normalized tax rate. Adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share are not measures determined in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to the measures as used by other companies. Nevertheless, Graham believes that providing non-GAAP information, such as adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share, is important for investors and other readers of the Company’s financial statements and assists in understanding the comparison of the current quarter’s and current fiscal year’s net income and net income per diluted share to the historical periods’ net income and net income per diluted share. Graham also believes that adjusted net income per share, which adds back intangible amortization expense related to acquisitions, provides a better representation of the cash earnings of the Company.

Forward-Looking Non-GAAP Measures

Forward-looking adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP measures. The Company is unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures because such information is not available, and management cannot reliably predict the necessary components of such GAAP measures without unreasonable effort largely because forecasting or predicting our future operating results is

Fiscal 2025

November 8, 2024

subject to many factors out of our control or not readily predictable. In addition, the Company believes that such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on the Company’s fiscal 2025 financial results. These non-GAAP financial measures are preliminary estimates and are subject to risks and uncertainties, including, among others, changes in connection with purchase accounting, quarter-end, and year-end adjustments. Any variation between the Company’s actual results and preliminary financial estimates set forth above may be material.

Key Performance Indicators

In addition to the foregoing non-GAAP measures, management uses the following key performance metrics to analyze and measure the Company’s financial performance and results of operations: orders, backlog, and book-to-bill ratio. Management uses orders and backlog as measures of current and future business and financial performance, and these may not be comparable with measures provided by other companies. Orders represent written communications received from customers requesting the Company to provide products and/or services. Backlog is defined as the total dollar value of net orders received for which revenue has not yet been recognized. Management believes tracking orders and backlog are useful as they often times are leading indicators of future performance. In accordance with industry practice, contracts may include provisions for cancellation, termination, or suspension at the discretion of the customer.

The book-to-bill ratio is an operational measure that management uses to track the growth prospects of the Company. The Company calculates the book-to-bill ratio for a given period as net orders divided by net sales.

Given that each of orders, backlog, and book-to-bill ratio are operational measures and that the Company’s methodology for calculating orders, backlog and book-to-bill ratio does not meet the definition of a non-GAAP measure, as that term is defined by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, a quantitative reconciliation for each is not required or provided.

Beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, Adjusted EBITDA no longer excludes the Barber-Nichols supplemental performance bonus, but now excludes the impact of non-cash equity-based compensation expense in order to be more consistent with market practice. Prior period results have been adjusted to reflect these changes on a comparable basis. The Barber-Nichols supplemental performance bonus expense was $1.1 million and $2.2 million for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2025, respectively, and $0.8 million and $1.6 million for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2024, respectively, and will be completed at the end of fiscal year 2026.

Acquisition and Integration (Income) Costs are incremental costs that are directly related to the P3 acquisition. These costs (income) may include, among other things, professional, consulting and other fees, system integration costs, and fair value adjustments relating to contingent consideration. ERP Implementation Costs relate to consulting costs incurred in connection with the new ERP system being implemented throughout our Batavia, N.Y. facility and are not expected to recur once the project is completed.
