Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of Mayville Engineering Company, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Mayville Engineering Company, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss), shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(in thousands, except share amounts and per share data)

Note 1. Nature of business and summary of significant accounting policies

Mayville Engineering Company, Inc. (MEC) is a leading U.S.-based, vertically-integrated, value-added manufacturing partner providing a full suite of manufacturing solutions from concept to production, including design, prototyping and tooling, fabrication, aluminum extrusion, coating, assembly and aftermarket components. Our customers operate in diverse end markets, including heavy- and medium-duty commercial vehicles, construction & access equipment, powersports, agriculture, military and other end markets. Founded in 1945 and headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, we are a leading Tier I U.S. supplier of highly engineered components to original equipment manufacturer (OEM) customers with leading positions in their respective markets. The Company operates 23 facilities located in Arkansas, Michigan, Mississippi, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Wisconsin. Our engineering expertise and technical know-how allow us to add value through every product redevelopment cycle (generally every three to five years for our customers).

Ourone operating segment focuses on producing metal components that are used in a broad range of heavy- and medium-duty commercial vehicles, construction & access equipment, powersports, agricultural, military and other products.

In December 1985, the Company formed the Mayville Engineering Company, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). The ESOP is a tax qualified retirement plan and is designed to invest primarily in the Company’s common stock which is held in a trust. From January 2003 until the Company’s initial public offering of common stock (IPO) in May 2019, the ESOP owned 100% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock which have been fully allocated to active or retired eligible employees. In connection with the IPO, the Company initially sold 6,250,000 shares of common stock into the public market, reducing ESOP ownership to approximately 67%. As of December 31, 2023, approximately 36% of all outstanding shares were held by the ESOP or within the Company’s 401(k) plan.

Basis of presentation and consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). They include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly-liquid investments purchased with original maturities of 90 days or less to be cash and cash equivalents.

Concentration of credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of bank balances above the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurability limits of $250 per official custodian. The Company has not experienced any losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.

Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable are generally uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms requiring payment within 30 to 60 days from the invoice date. Management periodically reviews past due balances and established an allowance for doubtful accounts of $685 and $545 as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, for probable uncollectible amounts based on its assessment of the current status of individual accounts. The estimated valuation allowance results in a reduction to sales and the accounts are written-off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to accounts receivable after the Company has used all reasonable collection efforts.

As the Company's customer base is principally made up of blue-chip OEMs with high credit ratings and our trade receivables are due within one year or less, the Company does not have a reserve for credit losses.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on the first-in, first-out method (FIFO), or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. Work-in-process and finished goods are valued at production cost consisting of material, labor and overhead. The Company maintains a reserve for obsolete and slow-moving inventory of $2,527 and $2,344 as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which is based upon the aging of current inventory as well as assumptions on future demand and market conditions.

Tooling in progress

The Company has agreements with its customers to provide production tooling which will be used to produce specific parts for its customers. The costs to design, engineer, and manufacture the tooling are charged to tooling in progress as incurred and based on when control of the tooling is transferred to the customer under contract or when the customer signs off through the Product Part Approval Process (PPAP) or other documented customer acceptance, either at a point in time or over a period of time is when revenue is recognized. The Company may also provide production tooling that is not sold to customers but is capitalized in property, plant and equipment. To the extent that estimated costs exceed expected reimbursement from the customer, the Company recognizes a loss. Tooling in progress was $5,457 and $7,938 as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for additions and improvements are capitalized while replacements, maintenance and repairs which do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are expensed as incurred. Properties sold, or otherwise disposed of, are removed from the property accounts, with gains or losses on disposal credited or charged to the results of operations. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, using the straight-line depreciation method for financial reporting purposes and begins when the asset is placed into service.

Business combinations

The Company accounts for all business combinations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 805,Business Combinations. In connection with a business combination, the acquiring company must allocate the cost of the acquisition to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on fair values as of the acquisition date. Any excess or shortage of amounts assigned to assets and liabilities over or under the purchase price is recorded as goodwill or a gain on bargain purchase price, respectively. Transaction costs associated with acquisitions are expensed as incurred within selling, general and administrative expenses.

Goodwill

We test goodwill for impairment annually, or more frequently if triggering events occur indicating that there may be an impairment. We have recorded goodwill and perform testing for potential goodwill impairment at a reporting unit level. A reporting unit is an operating segment, or a business unit one level below an operating segment for which discrete financial information is available, and for which management regularly reviews the operating results. Additionally, components within an operating segment can be aggregated as a single reporting unit if they have similar economic characteristics. We have concluded we haveone reporting unit.

We determine the fair value of our reporting units using an income approach. Under the income approach, we calculate the fair value of a reporting unit based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. The income approach is dependent on several key management assumptions, including estimates of future sales, gross margins, operating costs, interest expense, income tax rates, capital expenditures, changes in working capital requirements and the weighted average cost of capital or the discount rate. Discount rate assumptions include an assessment of the risk inherent in the future cash flows of the reporting unit. Expected cash flows used under the income approach are developed in conjunction with our budgeting and forecasting process.

We test our goodwill for impairment on an annual basis in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, and more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had goodwill with a carrying amount of $92,650 and $71,535, respectively, with the fair value of our reporting unit exceeding the carrying value.

If the market valuation of our common shares or operating results of our reporting unit significantly decline beyond current levels, we may again need to conduct an evaluation of the fair value of our goodwill, which may result in an impairment change.

Changes to management assumptions and estimates utilized in the income approach could negatively impact the fair value conclusions for our reporting units resulting in goodwill impairment. All key assumptions and valuations are determined by and are the responsibility of management. The factors used in the impairment analysis are inherently subject to uncertainty. We believe that the estimates and assumptions are reasonable to determine the fair value of our reporting unit, however, if actual results are not consistent with these estimates and assumptions, goodwill and other intangible assets may be overstated which could result in an impairment charge.

Intangible assets, net

The Company’s primary other intangible assets are customer relationships and contracts, trade names, non-compete agreements, developed technology and patents acquired in business combinations. Intangible assets are initially valued using a methodology commensurate with the intended use of the asset. The costs of amortizable intangible assets are recognized over their expected useful lives using the straight-line method. Intangible assets that are subject to amortization are evaluated for impairment using a process similar to that used to evaluate long-lived assets described below. Intangible assets not subject to amortization are assessed for impairment at least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that an asset may be impaired. The impairment test for indefinite-lived intangible assets consists of a comparison of the fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying amount. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset.

Fair value of financial instruments

Financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and long-term debt. The carrying amount of all significant financial instruments approximates fair value due to either the short maturity or the existence of variable interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates. Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable are classified as Level 1 fair value inputs as further described in Note 13 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments. Long-term debt is classified as a Level 2 fair value input.

Impairment of long-lived assets and (gain) loss on contracts

When events or conditions warrant, the Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets and considers whether these assets are impaired. The Company assesses the recoverability of these assets based on several factors, including management’s

intention with respect to these assets and their projected undiscounted cash flows. If projected undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the respective assets, the Company adjusts the carrying amounts of such assets to their estimated fair value. To the extent that the carrying value of the net assets of an asset group is greater than the estimated fair value, the Company may be required to record impairment charges. The Company records intangible asset impairment charges as a reduction to intangible assets. The Company records other long-lived asset impairment charges as a reduction to property, plant and equipment and an increase in other current liabilities for loss contracts in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company records a gain on sale of a previously impaired asset and a reversal of a loss contract within impairment of long-lived assets and (gain) loss on contracts.

Deferred financing costs

Loan issuance costs and discounts are capitalized upon the issuance of long-term debt and amortized over the life of the related debt. Loan issuance costs associated with revolving debt arrangements are presented as a component of other assets. Loan issuance costs incurred in connection with revolving debt arrangements are amortized using the straight-line method over the life of the credit agreement. Loan issuance costs and discounts incurred in connection with term debt are amortized using the effective interest method. Amortization of deferred loan issuance costs and discounts are included in interest expense.

During 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded $1,205 and $0, respectively, of deferred financing costs associated with its long-term debt and line of credit arrangements. Amortization expense associated with the deferred debt issuance costs and discounts in 2023, 2022 and 2021 was $309, $336 and $336, respectively. Accumulated amortization was $141 and $1,056 as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Amendments made to existing debt in 2023, 2022 and 2021 resulted in the write-off of $216, $0 and $0, respectively, of unamortized costs associated with the debt that was replaced.

Revenue recognition

The Company recognizes revenue for the transfer of goods or services to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company enters into supply agreements and purchase orders that include both free on board (FOB) origin and FOB destination shipping terms. Depending on the terms of the agreement, the customer takes ownership at shipment or at delivery, and this is when control transfers. Sales are supported by documentation such as supply agreements and purchase orders, which specify certain terms and conditions including product specifications, quantities, fixed prices, delivery dates and payments terms. Revenue related to services is recognized in the period services are performed, thus the Company recognizes revenue at a point in time.

There are many customers where the Company designs, engineers and builds production tooling, which is purchased by the customer. Tooling revenue is recognized at the point the customer signs off on the product through the Product Part Approval Process (PPAP) or other documented customer acceptance and control of the tooling promised under a contract is transferred to the customer at a point in time. Revenue is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for the tooling.

The Company offers certain customers discounts for early payments. These discounts are recorded against net sales in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss) and accounts receivable in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company does not offer any other customer incentives, rebates or allowances.

Shipping and handling

The Company expenses shipping and handling costs as incurred. These costs are generally comprised of salaries and wages, shipping supplies and warehouse costs. Inbound freight costs, which mostly relate to raw materials, are included in cost of sales on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). Outbound freight costs, which mostly relate to sales, are included in net sales on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). The Company does not charge customers nor recognize revenue for shipping and handling. The Company’s OEM customers arrange and pay the freight for delivery.

Advertising

The Company expenses the costs of advertising when incurred. Advertising expense was $141, $169 and $163 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Advertising costs are charged to selling, general and administrative expenses.

Income taxes

Income taxes and uncertain tax positions are accounted for in accordance with ASC 740,Accounting for Income Taxes. Deferred income taxes are provided for the differences between the bases of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and income tax purposes. The Company measures deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse and recognizes the effect of a change in enacted rates in the period of enactment. Tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured pursuant to the guidance set forth in ASC 740. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. See Note 8 – Income Taxes of these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

Income (loss) per share

The Company computes basic income (loss) per share by dividing net income (loss) available to shareholders by the actual weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the reporting period. The dilutive impact to basic earnings per share considers the impact to earnings if all convertible securities were exercised or outstanding that do not have an antidilutive impact on earnings per share.

Treasury stock

Treasury stock purchases are accounted for under the cost method whereby the entire cost of the acquired stock is recorded as treasury stock. Subsequent reissuance of shares to the 401(k) Plan or ESOP are recorded as a reduction to treasury stock and as ESOP expense in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Recent accounting pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Updated (ASU) 2023-09,* Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures*, amending ASC 740,*Income Taxes.*The amendment is intended to enhance the transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The amendments require that on an annual basis, entities disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. In addition, the amendments require that entities disclose additional information about income taxes paid as well as additional disclosures of pretax income and income tax expense and remove the requirement to disclose certain items that are no longer considered cost beneficial or relevant. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, may be applied prospectively or retrospectively and allows for early adoption. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on the consolidated financial statements.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07,Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, amending ASC 280,Segment Reporting. The amendment is intended to improve reportable segment disclosures, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. In addition, the amendments enhance interim disclosure requirements, clarify circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, provide new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment and contain other disclosure requirements. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, may be applied prospectively or retrospectively and allows for early adoption. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on the consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13,Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which establishes ASC 326,Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. The ASU revises the measurement of credit losses for financial assets measured at amortized cost from an incurred loss methodology to an expected loss methodology. The ASU affects trade receivables, debt securities, net investment in leases, and most other financial assets that represent a right to receive cash. The Company adopted the new standard as of January 1, 2023. As our customer base is principally made up of blue-chip OEMs with high credit ratings and our

trade receivables are due within one year or less, the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,Leases, creating ASC 842. Under the new guidance, lessees are required to recognize a right-of-use (ROU) asset and a lease liability for substantially all leases. When measuring ROU assets and lease liabilities, a lessee should include amounts related to option terms, such as the option of extending or terminating the lease or purchasing the underlying asset, that are reasonably certain to be exercised. The new guidance will continue to classify leases as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition. For finance leases, a lessee will recognize the interest on a lease liability separate from amortization of the ROU asset. In addition, repayments of principal will be presented within financing activities, and interest payments will be presented within operating activities in the statement of cash flows. For operating leases, a lessee will recognize a single lease cost on a straight-line basis and classify all cash payments within operating activities in the statement of cash flows. Entities have the option to adopt the new guidance through a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings applied either to the beginning of the earliest period presented (modified retrospective approach) or to the beginning of the period of adoption (effective date approach) whereby the comparative periods are unchanged. For public companies, this guidance was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For as long as the Company remained an EGC, the new guidance was effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption was permitted. The Company adopted the annual reporting guidance as of January 1, 2022 using the effective date approach.

The new guidance provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. The Company elected the “package of practical expedients”, which allows it to not reassess under the new guidance its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company did not elect the use-of-hindsight practical expedient. In addition, the new guidance provides accounting policy elections for an entity’s ongoing lessee accounting. The Company has elected to not separate lease and non-lease components for certain of its real estate leases. The Company has elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify which means that it will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities for those leases with a term of 12 months or less.

Note 2. Acquisitions

On July 1, 2023, the Company completed its acquisition of Mid-States Aluminum (MSA). The acquisition was consummated in accordance with terms and conditions of the certain Unit Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 19, 2023, among the Company and shareholders of MSA. The purchase price of the acquisition was $95,945, subject to adjustments for the amount of cash, indebtedness, net working capital and certain expenses of MSA as of the closing. At the closing of the acquisition, the Company applied an estimate of the adjustments and paid total net consideration of $90,002. The Company financed the acquisition by borrowing under its amended and restated credit agreement, as described in Note 4 – Debt in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Located in Fond du Lac, WI, MSA is an industry leading, vertically-integrated manufacturer of custom aluminum extrusions and fabrications that also offers related services including design, engineering, anodizing and finishing, assembly and packaging. The acquisition enables MEC to secure an attractive entry point within light-weight materials fabrication, while providing significant new cross-selling opportunities with both new and existing customers.

The Company accounted for the acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805,Business Combinations, with MEC being the acquiring entity, and reflects estimates and assumptions deemed appropriate by Company management. Transaction costs related to the acquisition were expensed as incurred within other selling, general and administrative expenses and totaled $1,411 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023. The net sales and operating income of MSA consolidated into MEC’s financial statements since the date of acquisition were $25,687 and $3,027, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, respectively.

The aggregate purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their preliminary estimated fair values at the acquisition date. The estimate of the excess purchase price over the preliminary estimated fair value of net tangible assets acquired was allocated to identifiable intangible assets and goodwill. The Company engaged an independent third party to assist with the identification and valuation of these intangible assets. Management makes significant estimates and assumptions when determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. These estimates include, but are not limited to, discount rates, projected future net sales, projected future expected cash flows, useful lives, attrition rates, royalty rates and growth rates. These measures are based on significant Level 3 inputs (see Note 13) not observable in the market.

The following table is a summary of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and net cash consideration paid for MSA during 2023:

​​​​​
​ · Preliminary · ​ · Estimated
​ · Opening Balance · ​ · Useful
​ · Sheet Allocation · ​ · Life
Cash$324​​
Accounts receivable, net​7,381​​
Inventory​9,698​​
Property, plant and equipment​41,271​​
Other assets​291​​
Intangible assets​​​​
Developed technology​4,900​7 Years
Customer relationships​17,700​17 Years
Goodwill​21,115​Indefinite
Total assets acquired​102,680​​
Accounts payable​(2,386)​​
Accrued expenses​(1,509)​​
Other liabilities​(1,984)​​
Debt​(7,884)​​
Total consideration$88,917​​

Inventory was valued at its estimated fair value, which is defined as expected sales price, less costs to sell, plus a reasonable margin for selling effort. The valuation resulted in an inventory fair value step-up of $891 and was fully expensed and reflected in cost of sales on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) during the twelve months ended December 31, 2023.

Property, plant and equipment was valued at its estimated fair value using the cost, market and sales comparison approaches. The valuation resulted in a property, plant and equipment fair value step-up of $21,157. Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the respective assets.

The Company also recorded $17,700 of customer relationships intangible assets with an estimated useful life of 17 years and $4,900 of developed technology intangible assets with an estimated useful life of 7 years. The purchase price allocated to these assets was based on management’s forecasted cash inflows and outflows and using a relief from royalty method for developed technologies and the multi-period excess earnings method for customer relationships. Amortization expense related to these intangible assets is recorded on a straight-line basis and reflected in amortization of intangible expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

The purchase price of MSA exceeded the preliminary estimated fair value of identifiable net assets and accordingly, the difference was allocated to goodwill, which is not tax deductible.

The Company believes that the information gathered to date provides a reasonable basis for estimating the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed; however, the purchase price allocations are preliminary as we continue to gather the necessary information to finalize our fair value estimates and provisional amounts. Provisional amounts include items related to working capital adjustments, intangibles, indemnification of assets and liabilities and deferred taxes. The Company finalized the net working capital adjustment in conjunction with the fair value estimates for assets acquired, liabilities assumed, identifiable assets and the net income tax provision. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, the Company adjusted the purchase price by ($1,084) related to working capital adjustments. The offsetting adjustment was primarily related to goodwill.

The Company has recorded preliminary estimates for the items noted in the preceding paragraph and will record adjustments, if any, to the preliminary amounts upon finalization of the respective valuations. Such changes are not expected to be significant. The Company expects to complete the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable but no later than one year from the acquisition date.

Pro Forma** **Financial Information (Unaudited)

In accordance with ASC 805, the following unaudited pro forma combined results of operations have been prepared and presented to give effect to the MSA acquisition as if it had occurred on January 1, 2022, the beginning of the comparable period, applying certain assumptions and pro forma adjustments. These pro forma adjustments primarily relate to the estimated depreciation expense associated with the fair value of the acquired property, plant and equipment, amortization of identifiable intangible assets, interest expense related to additional debt needed to fund the acquisition, and the tax impact of these adjustments. Additionally, the pro forma adjustments include non-recurring expenses related to transaction costs, a one-time bonus payment and the sale of stepped-up inventory. The unaudited pro forma consolidated results are provided for illustrative purposes only, are not indicative of the Company’s actual consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial position and do not reflect any revenue and operating synergies or cost savings that may result from the acquisition.

Inventory

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on the first-in, first-out method, or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. Work-in-process and finished goods are valued at production costs consisting of material, labor, and overhead.

Inventories as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 consist of:

​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​
​​December 31,​December 31,

Depreciation expense was $27,338, $22,359 and $21,077 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

At December 31, 2021, there was uncertainty as to the level of demand from the former fitness customer. The Company received a notification from the former fitness customer in February 2022 resulting in a change in forecasted future cash flow, triggering an impairment assessment of assets purchased, and assets the Company had committed to purchase, to meet obligations under the agreement with the former fitness customer as of December 31, 2021. As a result, at December 31, 2021, the Company recorded a long-lived asset impairment of $12,875, and an increase in other current liabilities of $3,276 due to non-cancellable commitments to purchase property, plant and equipment related to loss contracts.

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, the Company was able to cancel $2,257 of purchase commitments for property, plant and equipment relating to the former fitness customer that had previously been recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) as an impairment of long-lived assets and loss on contracts as of December 31, 2021. The cancellation of loss contracts has resulted in the reversal of these amounts from other current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) as an impairment of long-lived assets and gain on contracts.

Throughout the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, the Company sold $5,097 of machinery and equipment originally intended to support production for the former fitness customer, resulting in a gain on the sale of the assets of $2,089. The gain on the sale of assets is classified in impairment of long-lived assets and gain on contracts on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) as of December 31, 2022. As a result of the previously mentioned impairment, these assets had been written down to fair value at December 31, 2021.

The Company adopted ASC 842 on January 1, 2022, classifying finance leases of $854 and $1,103 inproperty, plant and equipment on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Please refer to Note 5 – Leases for additional information.

Goodwill

We test our goodwill for impairment on an annual basis in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, and more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. Our annual qualitative goodwill impairment test during the fourth quarter of fiscal years 2023 and 2022 did not indicate an impairment existed. At December 31, 2023, the Company had goodwill with a carrying amount of $92,650. The fair value exceeded the carrying value for 2023.

The following table sets forth the changes in the carrying amount of goodwill as of December 31, 2023. The carrying value of goodwill was increased by $21,115 during the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, due to the acquisition of MSA.

Note 4. Debt

On June 28, 2023, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the Credit Agreement) with certain lenders and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (the Agent). The Credit Agreement provides for a $250,000 revolving credit facility, with a letter of credit sub-facility, and a swingline facility in an aggregate amount of $25,000. The Credit Agreement also provides the availability of incremental facilities to the greater of $100,000 and 125% of the Company’stwelve month trailing Consolidated EBITDA through an accordion feature. All amounts borrowed under the credit agreement mature on June 28, 2028.

The Credit Agreement contains usual and customary negative covenants for agreements of this type, including, but not limited to, restrictions on our ability to, subject to certain exceptions, create, incur or assume indebtedness; create, incur, assume or suffer to exist liens; make certain investments; allow our subsidiaries to merge or consolidate with another entity; make certain asset dispositions; pay certain dividends or other distributions to shareholders; enter into transactions with affiliates; enter into sale leaseback transactions; and exceed the limits on annual capital expenditures. The Credit Agreement also requires us to satisfy certain financial covenants, including a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio of 3.00 to 1.00 as well as a consolidated total leverage ratio not to exceed 4.00 to 1.00 (which was increased as of July 1, 2023 from 3.50 to 1.00 in connection with the acquisition of MSA).

The Company incurred deferred financing costs of $1,248 associated with executing the Credit Agreement, which has been recorded as an other long-term asset in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and will be amortized over the duration of the agreement.

At December 31, 2023, our consolidated total leverage ratio was 2.14 to 1.00 as compared to a covenant maximum of 4.00 to 1.00 under the Credit Agreement.

At December 31, 2023, our consolidated interest coverage ratio was 5.49 to 1.00 as compared to a covenant minimum of 4.00 to 1.00 under the Credit Agreement.

Under the Credit Agreement, interest is payable quarterly at the adjusted secured overnight financing rate (SOFR) plus an applicable margin based on the current consolidated total leverage ratio. The interest rate was 7.71% and 5.69% as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Additionally, the agreement has a fee on the average daily unused portion of the aggregate unused revolving commitments. This fee was 0.30% and 0.25% as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Prior to June 28, 2023, the Company maintained a credit agreement (Former Credit Agreement) with certain lenders and the Agent. The Former Credit Agreement provided for a $200,000 revolving credit facility, with a letter of credit sub-facility in an aggregate amount not to exceed $5,000, and a swingline facility in an aggregate amount of $20,000. The Former Credit Agreement also provided for an additional $100,000 of debt capacity through an accordion feature.

The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants of its credit agreements as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The amount borrowed on the revolving credit notes was $147,493 and $72,236 as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Other Debt

With the consummation of the MSA acquisition, the Company assumed a Small Business Administration (SBA) loan and a Fond du Lac County and Fond du Lac Economic Development Corporation term note (Fond du Lac Term Note) in the amounts of

$5,009 and $2,875, respectively. The SBA loan is secured by specific equipment, payable in monthly installments of $27, including interest at 1.17% and due in full in September 2045. Due to the nature of the SBA loan, the Company did not meet the necessary criteria to qualify for this type of loan, so the Company paid off the full loan amount of $5,009 during the third quarter of the current year period. The Fond du Lac Term Note is secured by a security agreement, payable in annual installments of $500 plus interest at 2.00% and is due in full in December 2028. The short-term and long-term balance of $500 and $1,875, respectively, are recorded in other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note 5. Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,Leases, creating ASC 842. The Company adopted the annual reporting guidance as of January 1, 2022 using the effective date approach. Upon adoption of the new guidance at January 1, 2022, the Company established a ROU asset of $37,908 and a lease liability of $38,185 related to its real property operating leases and established a ROU asset of $2,415 and a lease liability of $2,418 related to its personal property operating leases. Additionally, the impact on retained earnings was immaterial. The January 1, 2022 balances associated with the Company’s personal property finance leases were reclassified in the financial statements from capital lease, net to property, plant and equipment, net, from current portion of capital lease obligation to other current liabilities, and from capital lease obligation, less current maturities to other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company has real property operating leases for office and light manufacturing space. Operating leases for the Company’s personal property consist of leases for office equipment, vehicles, forklifts and storage tanks for bulk gases. The Company recognizes a ROU asset and a lease liability for operating leases based on the net present value of future minimum lease payments. Lease expense for the Company’s operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, including renewal periods that are considered reasonably certain.

The Company has finance leases for two laser cutting systems, four vehicles and a number of copiers. The Company recognizes an ROU asset and a lease liability for finance leases based on the net present value of future minimum lease payments. Lease expense for the Company’s finance leases is comprised of the amortization of the ROU asset and interest expense recognized based on the effective interest method.

Variable lease expense is related to certain of the Company’s real property leases and personal property leases, and it generally consists of property tax and insurance components that are for the benefit of the lessor (real property leases) and variable overage fees (personal property leases) that are remitted as part of the Company’s lease payments.

The components of lease expense were as follows:

ROU assets are assessed for impairment in accordance with the Company’s long-lived asset policy. The Company reassesses lease classification and remeasures ROU assets and lease liabilities when a lease is modified, and that modification is not accounted for as a separate new lease or upon certain other events that require reassessment in accordance with ASC 842.

Note 6. Employee stock ownership plan

Under the ESOP, the Company can make annual discretionary contributions to the trust for the benefit of eligible employees in the form of cash or shares of common stock of the Company subject to the Board of Directors’ approval. For each of the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the Company recordedno ESOP expense.

As of January 1, 2023, the Company amended the plan reducing the distribution period from five years tothree years.

At various times following death, disability, retirement, termination of employment or the exercise of diversification rights, an ESOP participant is entitled to receive their ESOP account balance in accordance with various distribution methods as permitted under the policies adopted by the ESOP.

As of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the ESOP shares consisted of 4,062,583 and 5,684,879 in allocated shares, respectively.

Note 7. Retirement plans

The Mayville Engineering Company, Inc. 401(k) Plan (the 401(k) Plan) covers substantially all employees meeting certain eligibility requirements. The 401(k) Plan is a defined contribution plan and is intended for eligible employees to defer tax-free contributions to save for retirement. Employees may contribute up to 50% of their eligible compensation to the 401(k) Plan, subject to the limits of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code.

As of January 1, 2023, the Company implemented an employer match program to the 401(k) Plan. The Company now provides a 50% match for employee contributions, up to 6%. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, the Company’s employer match expense was $3,232. Additionally, the 401(k) Plan provides for employer discretionary profit-sharing contributions and the Board of Directors may authorize discretionary profit-sharing contributions (which are usually approved at the end of each calendar year). For the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the Company’s estimated discretionary profit-sharing expense was $0, $2,500 and $2,057, respectively.

Uncertain Tax Positions

Based on an evaluation of its tax positions, the Company recorded an unrecognized tax benefit related to research and development tax credits in its financial statements as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The Company does not anticipate that there will be a material change in the balance of the unrecognized tax benefits in the next twelve months. Any interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are recorded in income tax expense. No amounts have been recorded as tax expense for interest and penalties for the year ended December 31, 2023 as the amount for the utilized portion of the research and development credit on the Wisconsin return is considered to be immaterial. At December 31, 2023, a total of $771 of unrecognized tax benefits would, if recognized, impact the company’s effective tax rate.

The Company files income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction and in various state and local jurisdictions. Federal tax returns for tax years beginning January 1, 2019, and state tax returns beginning January 1, 2018, are open for examination.

Note 9. Commitments and contingencies

Litigation

On August 4, 2022, the Company filed a lawsuit against Peloton Interactive, Inc. (“Peloton”) in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County. The lawsuit arises from a March 2021 Supply Agreement between the parties, pursuant to which MEC was to manufacture and supply custom component parts for Peloton’s exercise bikes (the “Manufacturing Project”). In the lawsuit, the Company originally assertedtwo claims (1) breach and anticipatory repudiation of contract and (2) breach of the duty of good faith and fair dealing (pleaded in the alternative). In January 2023, in response to Peloton’s motion to dismiss, the court allowed the first claim to proceed and dismissed the alternative claim. In the remaining claim, MEC asserts that Peloton breached and anticipatorily repudiated the Supply Agreement by unilaterally cancelling the Manufacturing Project, and refusing to pay MEC certain monthly fixed revenue payments owed under the terms of the Supply Agreement. The parties have cross-appealed the court’s order on the motion to dismiss – Peloton appealed the portion of the order that denied the motion to dismiss the claim for breach and anticipatory repudiation of contract and MEC appealed the portion of the order that dismissed the claim for breach of duty of good faith and fair dealing. Both appeals are pending.

On November 3, 2023, Peloton filed a counterclaim alleging that Peloton was induced by fraud to enter into the Supply Agreement and seeking recission of the Supply Agreement and damages, among other forms of relief. On November 22, 2023, the Company answered Peloton’s counterclaim, denying the allegations in the counterclaim.

The total amount for damages claimed by MEC is substantial but the amount and timing of the ultimate recovery is uncertain. As a result, any recovery from this litigation or settlement of this claim is a contingent gain and will be recognized if, and when, realized or realizable.

From time to time, the Company may be involved in various claims and lawsuits, both for and against the Company, arising in the normal course of business. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, in management’s opinion, either the likelihood of loss is remote, or any reasonably possible loss associated with the resolution of such proceedings is not expected to have a material adverse impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Note 10. Deferred compensation

The Mayville Engineering Company Deferred Compensation Plan is available for certain employees designated to be eligible to participate by the Company and approved by the Board of Directors. Eligible employees may elect to defer a portion of their compensation for any plan year and the deferral cannot exceed 50% of the participant’s base salary and may include the participant’s annual short-term cash incentive up to 100%. The participant’s election must be made prior to the first day of the plan year.

An employer contribution will be made for each participant to reflect the amount of any reduced allocations to the ESOP and/or 401(k) employer contributions due solely to the participant’s deferral amounts, as applicable. In addition, a discretionary amount may be awarded to a participant by the Company.

Deferrals are assumed to be invested in an investment vehicle based on the options made available to the participant (which does not include Company stock).

The deferred compensation plan provides benefits payable upon separation of service or death. Payments are to be made 30 or 180 days after date of separation from service, either in a lump-sum payment or up to five annual installments as elected by the participant when the participant first elects to defer compensation.

The deferred compensation plan is non-funded, and all future contributions are unsecured in that the employees have the status of a general unsecured creditor of the Company and the agreements constitute a promise by the Company to make benefit payments in the future. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, eligible employees elected to defer compensation of $490, $117 and $0, respectively. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the short-term portion accrued for all benefit years less than 12 months under this plan was $289 and $18,062, respectively. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the long-term portion accrued for all benefit years greater than 12 months under this plan was $3,816 and $3,132. Total expense (credit) for the deferred compensation plan for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 amounted to $942, ($3,051) and $812, respectively. These expenses (credits) are included in profit sharing, bonuses and deferred compensation on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). Additionally, the Company made distributions of $18,520, $1,048 and $1,327 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Note 11. Self-Funded insurance

The Company is self-funded for the medical benefits provided to its employees and their dependents. Healthcare costs are expensed as incurred and are based upon actual claims paid, reinsurance premiums, administration fees and estimated unpaid claims. Since March 31, 2020, the Company has an aggregate stop loss limit to mitigate risk. Expense related to this contract were $20,292, $17,146 and $17,157 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. An estimated accrued liability of $1,018 and $900 was recorded as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, for estimated unpaid claims and is included within other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note 12. Segments

The Company applies the provisions of ASC 280,Segment Reporting. An operating segment is defined as a component that engages in business activities whose operating results are reviewed by the chief operating decision maker and for which discrete financial information is available. Based on the provisions of ASC 280, the Company has determined it hasone operating segment. The Company does not earn revenues or have long-lived assets located in foreign countries.

Note 13. Fair value of financial instruments

Fair value provides information on what the Company may realize if certain assets were sold or might pay to transfer certain liabilities based upon an exit price. Financial assets and liabilities that are measured and reported at fair value are classified into a three-level hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation process. A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The hierarchy is based on the observability and objectivity of the pricing inputs, as follows:

●Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
●Level 2 – Significant directly observable data (other than Level 1 quoted prices) or significant indirectly observable data through corroboration with observable market data. Inputs would normally be (i) quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, (ii) quoted prices in inactive markets for identical or similar assets or liabilities or (iii) information derived from or corroborated by observable market data. Long-term debt is classified as a Level 2 fair value input.
●Level 3 – Prices or valuation techniques that require significant unobservable data inputs. These inputs would normally be the Company’s own data and judgements about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The following table lists the Company’s financial assets and liabilities accounted for at fair value by the fair value hierarchy:

​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​
​ · ​ · Balance at · ​ · Fair Value Measurements at
​ · ​ · December 31, · ​ · Report Date Using
​ · 2023 · (Level 1) · (Level 2) · (Level 3)
Deferred compensation liability​$4,105​$4,105​$—​$—
Total​$4,105​$4,105​$—​$—
​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​

Deferred compensation liability​$21,194​$21,194​$—​$—
Total​$21,194​$21,194​$—​$—

Fair value measurements for the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are classified based upon Level 1 measurements because such measurements are based upon quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets.

Accounts receivable, accounts payable, long-term debt and accrued liabilities are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at cost and approximate fair value.

Deferred compensation liabilities are recorded at amounts due to participants at the time of deferral. Deferrals are invested in an investment vehicle based on the options made available to the participant, considered to be Level 1 and Level 2 on the fair value hierarchy, with the current balance all as Level 1. The change in fair value is recorded in the profit sharing, bonuses, and deferred compensation line item on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). The short-term and long-term balances due to participants are reflected on the current portion of deferred compensation and deferred compensation, less current portion line items, respectively, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company’s non-financial assets such as intangible assets and property, plant, and equipment are re-measured at fair value when there is an indication of impairment and adjusted only when an impairment charge is recognized.

Note 14. Revenue recognition

Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities

The Company has contract assets and contract liabilities, which are included in tooling in progress and other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively. Contract assets include products where the Company has satisfied its performance obligation, but receipt of payment is contingent upon delivery. Contract liabilities include deferred tooling revenue, where the performance obligation was not met. The performance obligation is satisfied when the tooling is completed and the customer signs off through the PPAP or other documented customer acceptance. Cost of goods sold is recognized and released from the balance sheet when control of the tooling promised under contract is transferred to the customer.

The Company’s contracts with customers are short-term in nature; therefore, revenue is typically recognized, billed and collected within a 12-month period. The following table reflects the changes in our contract assets and liabilities during the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021.

Note 18. Stock-based compensation

The Mayville Engineering Company, Inc. 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan provided the Company the ability to grant monetary payments based on the value of its common stock, up to 2,000,000 shares.

On April 20, 2021, shareholders of the Company approved an amendment to the 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan increasing the number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance by 2,500,000 shares.

The Company recognizes stock-based compensation using the fair value provisions prescribed by ASC 718,Compensation – Stock Compensation. Accordingly, compensation costs for awards of stock-based compensation settled in shares are determined based on the fair value of the share-based instrument at the time of grant and are recognized as expense over the vesting period of the share-based instrument. For units, fair value is equivalent to the adjusted closing stock price at the date preceding the date of grant. The Black-Scholes option pricing model is utilized to determine fair value for options.

Cancellations and forfeitures are accounted for as incurred.

Stock awards were granted on November 3, 2023, September 18, 2023, June 26, 2023, April 18, 2023, March 13, 2023, February 28, 2023, January 25, 2023, July 19, 2022, April 19, 2022, February 28, 2022, June 3, 2021, May 12, 2021 and February 28, 2021.

For options granted, the Company utilizes the simplified method prescribed by Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) Topic 14 to estimate the expected term, which is calculated as the average of the vesting term and the contractual term. The option grants have a contractual life of 10 years and a requisite service period, or vesting term, of 2 years with 50% vesting on the annual anniversary dates. Applying the simplified method, the Company calculated the expected terms of each tranche to be 5.5 years and 6.0 years resulting in an average expected term of

5.75 years for these awards. The Company will continue to employ the simplified method until more relevant detailed information becomes available from which to make this estimate.
