Subsequent Items
On April 11, 2022, the company simultaneously announced that Michael Coffey was appointed Chief Executive Officer, the closing of the acquisition of Rabern Rentals, and a new credit facility in the US. Total liquidity was estimated in the range of $35-$40 million at the close of this transaction.
"First quarter results reflect gains in sales, bookings, and a strong backlog that has surpassed $200 million," said Michael Coffey, CEO of Manitex International. "We are pleased with the strong demand for our products, across our product portfolio, both in North America and in Europe, and the backlog indicates that sales will continue to show good momentum throughout the rest of the year."
"Importantly, we continued to implement measures to address inflationary cost and supply chain pressures. These actions delivered improved results and should enable further benefit in the coming quarters. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, we completed the acquisition of Rabern Rentals, and while it will represent just a small portion of our revenues, we do expect it to be accretive to our Adjusted EBITDA, starting in the 2nd quarter. As we noted in our Form 8-k/a filed on April 21, 2022, Rabern Rentals had 2021 revenues of approximately $21 million and EBITDA of approximately $8 million."
"A focus on process efficiency, supply chain optimization and operational excellence will guide us as we battle inflationary and supply chain headwinds, which are impacting many equipment manufacturers at this time. We will be leveraging our global resources, implementing improved production processes and working on numerous initiatives that will translate into improved margins and EBITDA contributions for our business," concluded Coffey.
Financial Results for the First Quarter ended March 31, 2022
Net sales for the first quarter were $60.4 million compared to $47.2 million for the first quarter of 2021, and the Company reported a net income of $0.2 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, compared to a loss of $0.8 million, or $(0.04) per diluted share, in the prior-year period. Adjusted net income* for the first quarter of 2022 was $0.9 million, or $0.05 per share, compared with a loss of $0.1 million, or $(0.01) per share for the first quarter of 2021.
* Adjusted numbers are discussed in greater detail and reconciled under "Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Items" below.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Items
In this press release, we refer to various non-GAAP (U.S. generally accepted accounting principles) financial measures which management uses to evaluate operating performance, to establish internal budgets and targets, and to compare the Company's financial performance against such budgets and targets. These non-GAAP measures, as defined by the Company, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures being disclosed by other companies. While adjusted financial measures are not intended to replace any presentation included in our consolidated financial statements under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and should not be considered an alternative to operating performance or an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity, we believe these measures are useful to investors in assessing our operating results, capital expenditure and working capital requirements and the ongoing performance of its underlying businesses. A reconciliation of Adjusted GAAP financial measures is included with this press release. Results of operations reflect continuing operations. All per share amounts are on a fully diluted basis. The amounts described below are unaudited, are reported in thousands of U.S. dollars, and are as of the dates indicated.
