*Compared to full year 2023 financials

February 24, 2025 — Milwaukee, Wisconsin — Douglas Dynamics, Inc. (NYSE: PLOW), North America’s premier manufacturer and upfitter of work truck attachments and equipment, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2024.

“With a strong end to the year, we are pleased with the improved performance we have produced in 2024,” noted Jim Janik, Chairman, Interim President, and CEO. “Our Work Truck Solutions team delivered impressive top and bottom-line growth again through a combination of robust execution and improved business conditions. Our Work Truck Attachments segment operated efficiently in a tough environment, as evidenced by their improved margins. We believe the hard work completed in 2024 to streamline our operations and focus on critical projects will continue to pay off in the years ahead.”

Consolidated Results

Work Truck Attachments

Janik explained, “The determination of our Attachments team to efficiently manage production and inventory levels throughout the year, coupled with the implementation of the 2024 Cost Savings Program, led to improved margins in 2024. The impact of low snowfall in the previous two winters continued to suppress demand and create difficult market conditions, and we are proud of the resilience shown by our team.”

“The Solutions team exceeded our expectations in 2024, generating record results for the year. We are pleased with the ongoing improvements, which returned us to near double-digit margins, and we enter 2025 with a strong backlog and continued positive demand across the segment,” said Janik.

Capital Allocation & Liquidity

2025 Outlook

Sarah Lauber, Executive Vice President and CFO, explained, “Following a year of profitability improvements, we believe we are well positioned for 2025 and beyond. The advancements over the past two years at Work Truck Solutions mean we at the low end of our target margins with a strong backlog. For Work Truck Attachments, our operations are lean and efficient, and we expect to better understand the elongated equipment replacement cycle once winter is over and the preseason order period is in full swing.”

Lauber continued, “Based on the progress we have made in 2024, we believe our manufacturing strength, when combined with the quality of our people, will allow us to continue to lead the markets we serve and produce long-term growth. Our guidance for 2025 reflects our positive outlook, and the mid-point of our ranges indicate our ability to deliver year-over-year growth.”

2025 Outlook

The 2025 outlook assumes relatively stable economic and supply chain conditions, and that core markets will experience average snowfall in 2025.

With respect to the Company’s 2025 financial outlook, the Company is not able to provide a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP because it does not provide specific guidance for the various extraordinary, nonrecurring, or unusual charges and other certain items. These items have not yet occurred, are out of the Company’s control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. As a result, reconciliation of the non-GAAP guidance measures to GAAP is not available without unreasonable effort and the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains financial information calculated other than in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). The non-GAAP measures used in this press release are Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share, and Free Cash Flow. The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors and other external users of its consolidated financial statements in evaluating the Company’s operating performance as compared to that of other companies. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the nearest comparable GAAP measures can be found immediately following the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows included in this press release.

Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, as further adjusted for certain charges consisting of unrelated legal and consulting fees, stock-based compensation, severance, restructuring charges, CEO transition costs, insurance proceeds, gain on sale leaseback transaction and related transaction costs, and impairment charges. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA in evaluating the Company’s operating performance because it provides the Company and its investors with additional tools to compare its operating performance on a consistent basis by removing the impact of certain items that management believes do not directly reflect the Company’s core operations. The Company’s management also uses Adjusted EBITDA for planning purposes, including the preparation of its annual operating budget and financial projections, and to evaluate the Company’s ability to make certain payments, including dividends, in compliance with its senior credit facilities, which is determined based on a calculation of “Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA” that is substantially similar to Adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share (calculated on a diluted basis) represents net income and earnings per share (as defined by GAAP), excluding the impact of stock based compensation, severance, restructuring charges, CEO transition costs, insurance proceeds, gain on sale leaseback transaction and related transaction costs, impairment charges, certain charges related to unrelated legal fees and consulting fees, and adjustments on derivatives not classified as hedges, net of their income tax impact. Adjustments on derivatives not classified as hedges are non-cash and are related to overall financial market conditions; therefore, management believes such costs are unrelated to our business and are not representative of our results. Management believes that Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share are useful in assessing the Company’s financial performance by eliminating expenses and income that are not reflective of the underlying business performance.

Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures. Free Cash Flow should be evaluated in addition to, and not considered a substitute for, other financial measures such as Net Income and Net Cash Provided By (Used in) Operating Activities. We believe that free cash flow represents our ability to generate additional cash flow from our business operations.
