Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2024
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Interim Financial Statements
Nature of Business
NN, Inc., a Delaware corporation, is a diversified industrial company that combines advanced engineering and production capabilities with in-depth materials science expertise to design and manufacture high-precision components and assemblies primarily for a variety of end markets on a global basis. As of March 31, 2024, we had 27 facilities in North America, Europe, South America, and Asia. As used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”), the terms “NN,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us” refer to NN, Inc., and its subsidiaries.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have not been audited. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2023, was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Annual Report”), which we filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 12, 2024. In management’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary to fairly state our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023; financial position as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023; and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, on a basis consistent with our audited consolidated financial statements. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature and are, in the opinion of management, necessary to state fairly the Company’s financial position and operating results for the interim periods.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted from the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented in this Quarterly Report. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the 2023 Annual Report. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of results for the year ending December 31, 2024, or any other future periods.
Except for per share data or as otherwise indicated, all U.S. dollar amounts and share counts presented in the tables in these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are in thousands.
Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 832): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), which requires additional disclosures related to reportable segments, including significant segment expenses and other segment items. ASU 2023-07 also permits entities to disclose more than one measure of a segment’s profit or loss and requires quarterly disclosure of certain information that is now only required annually. The new segment disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. We plan to adopt ASU 2023-07 in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 on a retrospective basis and are in the process of assessing the impact on our disclosures.
Accounts Receivable Sales Programs
We participate in programs established by our customers, which allows us to sell certain receivables from that customer on a non-recourse basis to a third-party financial institution. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we incurred fees of $ 0.3 million and $ 0.2 million, respectively, related to the sale of receivables, which is recorded in the Other expense (income), net line item on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
Note 2. Segment Information
Our business is aggregated into the following two reportable segments:
• Mobile Solutions, which is focused on growth in the automotive, general industrial, and medical end markets; and
• Power Solutions, which is focused on growth in the electrical, general industrial, automotive, and medical end markets.
These divisions are considered our two operating segments as each engages in business activities for which it earns revenues and incurs expenses, discrete financial information is available for each, and this is the level at which the chief operating decision maker reviews discrete financial information for purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance.

Note 7. Debt
On March 22, 2021, we entered into a $ 150.0 million term loan facility (as amended from time to time, the “Term Loan Facility”) and a $ 50.0 million asset backed credit facility (as amended from time to time, the “ABL Facility”). On March 3, 2023, we amended the Term Loan Facility (the “Term Loan Amendment”) and ABL Facility to adjust certain covenants under the agreements, as well as to replace references to LIBOR with Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) for interest rate calculations. The following table presents the outstanding debt balances.

Table of Contents
We capitalized interest costs of $ 0.5 million and $ 0.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, related to construction in progress.
Term Loan Facility
Outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan Facility bear interest at either: 1) one-month, three-month, or six-month SOFR with a duration adjustment (“Adjusted SOFR”), subject to a 1.000 % floor, plus an applicable margin of 6.875 %; or 2) the greater of various benchmark rates plus an applicable margin of 5.875 %. Beginning in the second quarter of 2023, interest was increased on a paid-in-kind basis at a rate between 1.00 % and 2.00 % (“PIK interest”), dependent on the our leverage ratio. The PIK interest is payable on the loan maturity date of September 22, 2026. At March 31, 2024, the Term Loan Facility bore interest, including PIK interest, based on one-month Adjusted SOFR, at 14.305 %.
The Term Loan Facility requires quarterly principal payments of $ 0.4 million with the remaining unpaid principal amount due at the loan maturity date. We may be required to make additional principal payments annually that are calculated as a percentage of our excess cash flow, as defined by the lender, based on our net leverage ratio. The Term Loan Facility is collateralized by all of our assets. The Term Loan Facility has a first lien on all domestic assets, other than accounts receivable and inventory and has a second lien on domestic accounts receivable and inventory. We were in compliance with all requirements under the Term Loan Facility as of March 31, 2024.
The Term Loan Facility was issued at a $ 3.8 million discount and we have capitalized an additional $ 5.5 million in debt issuance costs. These costs are recorded as a direct reduction to the carrying amount of the associated long-term debt and amortized over the term of the debt.
We had an interest rate swap that changed the one-month LIBOR to a fixed rate of 1.291 % on $ 60.0 million of the outstanding balance of the Term Loan Facility. During the first quarter of 2023, we terminated the interest rate swap and received cash proceeds of $ 2.5 million, which was equal to its then fair value.
ABL Facility
The ABL Facility provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility, with an original commitment amount of $ 50.0 million, of which a maximum of $ 30.0 million is available in the form of letters of credit and a maximum of $ 5.0 million is available for the issuance of short-term swingline loans. The availability of credit under the ABL Facility is limited by a borrowing base calculation derived from accounts receivable and inventory held in the United States. The maximum commitment amount may be increased or decreased from time to time based on the terms of conditions of the ABL Facility. Outstanding borrowings under the ABL Facility bear interest on a variable rate structure plus an interest rate spread that is based on the average amount of aggregate revolving commitment available. The variable borrowing rate is either: 1) Adjusted SOFR plus an applicable margin of 1.75 % or 2.00 %, depending on availability; or 2) the greater of the federal funds rate or prime, plus an applicable margin of 0.75 % or 1.00 %, depending on availability. We may elect whether to use one-month, three-month, or six-month Adjusted SOFR. At March 31, 2024, using one-month Adjusted SOFR plus a 2.00 % margin, the interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the ABL Facility would have been 7.418 %. We pay a commitment fee of 0.375 % for unused capacity under the ABL Facility and a 2.125 % fee on the amount of letters of credit outstanding. The final maturity date of the ABL Facility is March 22, 2026.
As of March 31, 2024, we had no outstanding borrowings under the ABL Facility, $ 9.9 million of outstanding letters of credit, and $ 26.4 million available for future borrowings under the ABL Facility. The ABL Facility has a first lien on domestic accounts receivable and inventory. We were in compliance with all requirements under the ABL Facility as of March 31, 2024.
Sale-Leaseback Transactions
In March 2024, we sold three of our properties for an aggregate sales price of $ 16.9 million, with the net proceeds used to repay a portion of the outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan Facility. Concurrent with the sale, we entered into a 20-year lease agreement for these properties. Since the lease agreement allows for us to exercise renewal options that extend for substantially all of the remaining economic life, the transaction is accounted for as a failed sale-leaseback. As a result, the properties remain on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and the non-land assets will continue to be depreciated over their remaining useful lives. The $ 16.9 million of gross proceeds was recognized as a financing obligation as a component of long-term debt. The monthly lease payments, which increase 3.0% each year, will be amortized as principal payments and interest expense based on an effective interest rate of 9.715 %. We incurred $ 0.6 million in debt issuance costs related to this transaction which will be amortized over the term of the debt.
In March 2024, we sold multiple pieces of manufacturing equipment for an aggregate sales price of $ 4.9 million. Concurrent with the sale, we entered into a 5-year lease agreement that includes a repurchase option for this equipment. Since the lease agreement allows for us to exercise an early buyout option, the transaction is accounted for as a failed sale-leaseback. As a result, the assets remain on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and will continue to be depreciated over their remaining useful lives. The $ 4.9 million of gross proceeds was recognized as a financing obligation as a component of long-term debt. The monthly lease payments will be amortized as principal payments and interest expense on an effective interest rate of 10.475 %.

Note 8. Preferred Stock
Series D Perpetual Preferred Stock
On March 22, 2021, we completed a private placement of 65,000 shares of newly designated Series D Perpetual Preferred Stock, with a par value of $ 0.01 per share (the “Series D Preferred Stock”), at a price of $ 1,000 per share, together with detachable warrants (the “2021 Warrants”) to purchase up to 1.9 million shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $ 0.01 per share. The Series D Preferred Stock has an initial liquidation preference of $ 1,000 per share and is redeemable at our option in cash at a redemption price equal to the liquidation preference then in effect. Series D Preferred Stock shares earn cash dividends at a rate of 10.0 % per year, payable quarterly in arrears, accruing whether or not earned or declared. If no cash dividend is paid, then the liquidation preference per share effective on the dividend date increases by 12.0 % per year. Beginning March 22, 2026, the cash dividend rate and in-kind dividend rate increase by 2.5 % per year. Cash dividends are required beginning on September 30, 2027.
The Series D Preferred Stock is classified as mezzanine equity, between liabilities and stockholders’ equity, because certain features of the Series D Preferred Stock could require redemption of the Series D Preferred Stock upon a change of control event that is considered not solely within our control. For initial recognition, the Series D Preferred Stock was recognized at a discounted value, net of issuance costs and allocation to warrants and a bifurcated embedded derivative. The aggregate discount is amortized as a deemed dividend through March 22, 2026, which is the date the dividend rate begins to increase by 2.5 % per year. Deemed dividends adjust additional paid-in capital due to the absence of retained earnings.
In accordance with ASC 815-15, Derivatives and Hedging - Embedded Derivatives, certain features of the Series D Preferred Stock were bifurcated and accounted for as derivatives separately. Note 15 discusses the accounting for these features.
As of March 31, 2024, the carrying value of the Series D Preferred Stock shares was $ 81.5 million, which included $ 34.8 million of accumulated unpaid and deemed dividends. The following table presents the change in the Series D Preferred Stock carrying value during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Balance as of December 31, 2023 $ 77,799
Accrual of in-kind dividends 2,714

Note 10. Commitments and Contingencies
Brazil ICMS Tax Matter
Prior to the acquisition of Autocam Corporation (“Autocam”) in 2014, Autocam’s Brazilian subsidiary (“Autocam Brazil”) received notification from the Brazilian tax authority regarding ICMS (state value added tax) tax credits claimed on intermediary materials (e.g., tooling and perishable items) used in the manufacturing process. The Brazilian tax authority notification disallowed state ICMS tax credits claimed on intermediary materials based on the argument that these items are not intrinsically related to the manufacturing processes. Autocam Brazil filed an administrative defense with the Brazilian tax authority arguing, among other matters, that it should qualify for an ICMS tax credit, contending that the intermediary materials are directly related to the manufacturing process.

We believe that we have substantial legal and factual defenses, and we plan to defend our interests in this matter vigorously. The matter encompasses several lawsuits filed with the Brazilian courts requesting declaratory actions that no tax is due or seeking a stay of execution on the collection of the tax. In 2018, we obtained a favorable decision in one of the declaratory actions for which the period for appeal has expired. We have filed actions in each court requesting dismissal of the matter based on the earlier court action. In May 2020, we received an unfavorable decision in one of the lawsuits, and as a result have recorded a liability to the Brazilian tax authorities and a receivable from the former shareholders of Autocam for the same amount. Although we anticipate a favorable resolution to the remaining matters, we can provide no assurances that we will be successful in achieving dismissal of all pending cases. The U.S. dollar amount that would be owed in the event of an unfavorable decision is subject to interest, penalties, and currency impacts and, therefore, is dependent on the timing of the decision. For the remaining open lawsuits, we currently believe the cumulative potential liability in the event of unfavorable decisions on all matters will be less than $ 5.0 million, inclusive of interest and penalties.
We are entitled to indemnification from the former shareholders of Autocam, subject to the limitations and procedures set forth in the agreement and plan of merger relating to the Autocam acquisition. Management believes the indemnification would include amounts owed for the tax, interest, and penalties related to this matter. Accordingly, we do not expect to incur a loss related to this matter even in the event of an unfavorable decision and, therefore, have not accrued an amount for the remaining matters as of March 31, 2024.
Other Legal Matters
All other legal proceedings are of an ordinary and routine nature and are incidental to our operations. Management believes that such proceedings should not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. In making that determination, we analyze the facts and circumstances of each case at least quarterly in consultation with our attorneys and determine a range of reasonably possible outcomes.
Note 11. Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate was ( 3.5 )% and ( 14.2 )% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2024 differ from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21 % primarily due to the accrual of tax on non-permanently reinvested unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries and by limitation on the amount of tax benefit recorded for loss carryforwards in certain jurisdictions where we believe it is more likely than not that a portion of the future tax benefit may not be realized. In addition, the effective tax rate was unfavorably impacted by the U.S. tax on the earnings of foreign subsidiaries under the global intangible low-taxed income regime.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we granted 143,000 PSUs to certain executive officers. These units vest, if at all, upon our achieving a specified relative total shareholder return, which will be measured against the total shareholder return of a specified index during the three-year performance period that ends December 31, 2026.
We estimated the grant date fair value of the PSU awards using the Monte Carlo simulation model, as the total shareholder return metric and changes in stock price are considered market conditions under ASC Topic 718, Compensation – stock compensation .

Note 15. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is an exit price representing the expected amount that an entity would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with market participants at the measurement date. We followed consistent methods and assumptions to estimate fair values as more fully described in the 2023 Annual Report.
Embedded Derivatives
In accordance with ASC 815-15, Derivatives and Hedging - Embedded Derivatives , certain features of our preferred stock and long-term debt were bifurcated and accounted for as derivatives separately.
In conjunction with the Term Loan Amendment, we issued warrants to purchase up to 2.0 million shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $ 0.01 per share (the “2023 Warrants”). The 2023 Warrants are exercisable, in full or in part, at any time prior to June 30, 2033. The 2023 Warrants include anti-dilution adjustments in the event of certain future equity issuances, stock splits, stock dividends, combinations or similar events. On April 12, 2024, 500,000 of the 2023 Warrants were exercised on a cashless basis, resulting in the issuance of 499,000 shares.
In conjunction with our placement of the Series D Preferred Stock, we issued the 2021 Warrants to purchase up to 1.9 million shares of our common stock. The 2021 Warrants, are exercisable, in full or in part, at any time prior to March 22, 2027, at an exercise price of $ 0.01 per share, subject to anti-dilution adjustments in the event of certain future equity issuances, stock splits, stock dividends, combinations or similar events. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, all of the 2021 Warrants were exercised on a cashless basis, resulting in the issuance of 1,896,000 shares.
In conjunction with our placement of the Series B Preferred Stock, we issued the 2019 Warrants to purchase up to 1.5 million shares of our common stock. The 2019 Warrants, are exercisable, in full or in part, at any time prior to December 11, 2026, at an exercise price of $ 11.03 per share, and are subject to anti-dilution adjustments in the event of future below market issuances, stock splits, stock dividends, combinations or similar events.

The following tables show the fair values of the embedded derivatives within the fair value hierarchy.

(Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs
(Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs

(Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs
(Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs
(Level 3)
Derivative liability - other non-current liabilities $ 15,421 $ — $ 1,135
The fair value of the 2023 Warrants and 2021 Warrants is determined using the observable market price of a share of our common stock, less the $ 0.01 per share exercise price (Level 1).
The fair value of the 2019 Warrants is determined using a valuation model that utilizes unobservable inputs to determine the probability that the 2019 Warrants will remain outstanding for future periods (Level 3). The probabilities resulted in a weighted average term of 2.9 years as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Interest Rate Swap
On July 22, 2021, we entered into a fixed-rate interest rate swap agreement to change the LIBOR-based component of the interest rate on a portion of our variable rate debt to a fixed rate of 1.291 % (the “2021 Swap”). The 2021 Swap had a notional amount of $ 60.0 million and a maturity date of July 31, 2024. We designated the 2021 Swap as a cash flow hedge at inception with cash settlements recognized in interest expense. During the first quarter of 2023, we terminated the 2021 Swap and received cash proceeds of $ 2.5 million, which was the then fair value of the 2021 Swap. Since the 2021 Swap was an effective cash flow hedge and the forecasted interest payments remaining probable of occurring, the gain will be recognized as a reduction to interest expense through the original maturity date of July 31, 2024.
The following table presents the effects of the interest rate swap on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Fair Value Disclosures
Our financial instruments that are subject to fair value disclosure consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and debt. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the carrying values of these financial instruments, except for debt, approximated fair value. The fair value of our debt was $ 161.2 million and $ 162.2 million, with a carrying amount of $ 158.5 million and $ 153.3 million, as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The fair value of debt was calculated by discounting the future cash flows to its present value using prevailing market interest rates for debt with similar creditworthiness, terms and maturities (Level 3).
