First Quarter 2024 Financial Results Call
May 8, 2024
DISCLAIMER
Certain statements in this presentation may be considered "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or Holley's future financial or operating performance. For example, projections of future revenue and adjusted EBITDA and other metrics, along with statements regarding the impact of organizational changes, are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may," "should," "expect," "intend," "will," "estimate," "anticipate," "believe," "predict," "or" or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar terminology. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based upon estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by Holley and its management, are inherently uncertain. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to: 1) the ability of Holley to grow and manage growth profitably which may be affected by, among other things, competition; to maintain relationships with customers and suppliers; and to retain its management and key employees; 2) Holley's ability to compete effectively in our market; 3) Holley's ability to successfully design, develop, and market new products; 4) Holley's ability to respond to changes in vehicle ownership and type; 5) Holley's ability to maintain and strengthen demand for our products; 6) Holley's ability to effectively manage our growth; 7) Holley's ability to attract new customers in a cost-effective manner; 8) Holley's ability to expand into additional consumer markets; 9) costs related to Holley being a public company; 10) disruptions to Holley's operations, including as a result of cybersecurity incidents; 11) changes in applicable laws or regulations; 12) the outcome of any legal proceedings that have been or may be instituted against Holley; 13) general economic and political conditions, including the current macroeconomic environment, political tensions and war (including the conflict in Ukraine, the conflict in the Middle East, and the possible expansion of such conflicts and potential geopolitical consequences); 14) the possibility that Holley may be adversely affected by other economic, business and/or competitive factors, including recent events affecting the financial services industry (such as the closures of certain regional banks);
- Holley's estimates of its financial performance (e.g., the successful execution of cost saving initiatives); 16) Holley's ability to anticipate and manage through disruptions and higher costs in manufacturing, supply chain, logistical operations, and shortages of certain company products in distribution channels; and 17) other risks and uncertainties set forth in the section entitled "Risk Factors" and "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 14, 2024, and/or disclosed in any subsequent filings with the SEC. Although Holley believes the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, nothing in this presentation should be regarded as a representation by any person that the forward-looking statements or projections set forth herein will be achieved or that any of the contemplated results of such forward looking statements or projections will be achieved. There may be additional risks that Holley presently does not know or that Holley currently believes are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. Holley undertakes no duty to update these forward-looking statements, except as otherwise required by law.
Included in this Presentation are certain financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") that are designed to supplement, and not substitute Holley's financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, including, but not limited to, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EDBITDA Margin, Bank-adjusted EBITDA Leverage Ratio, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Profit Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, and Free Cash Flow. The non-GAAP measures as defined by Holley may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP measures presented by other companies. The presentation of such measures, which may include adjustments to exclude non-recurring items, should not be construed as an inference that Holley's future results, cash flows, or leverage will be unaffected by other nonrecurring items. Refer to information about the non-GAAP measures contained in this Presentation. This Presentation also includes forward-looking estimates of Adjusted EBITDA and Year-endBank-adjusted EBITDA Leverage Ratio as part of our financial guidance. We do not reconcile these non-GAAP measures for future periods to their most comparable GAAP measures due to the uncertainty and potential variability of reconciling items. Because such items cannot be reasonably predicted with the level of precision required, we are unable to provide a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures without unreasonable effort. Forward-looking estimates of Adjusted EBITDA and Year-end Bank Adjusted EBITDA Leverage Ratio are estimated in a manner consistent with the relevant definitions and assumptions noted herein.
