All significant intercompany transactions and amounts have been eliminated. The results of businesses acquired or disposed of are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of the acquisition or up to the date of disposal, respectively.
References to “we”, “our”, and similar pronouns in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 (this “Form 10-Q”) are to Miller Industries, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries unless the context requires otherwise.
Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) instructions to Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and include the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual amounts may differ from these estimated amounts.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. Except as disclosed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, all such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. Financial results presented for this fiscal 2025 interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. These condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

ASU 2023-07 also requires entities with a single reportable segment to provide all segment disclosures under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 280, including the new disclosures under this ASU. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the guidance in the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2024, and included additional disclosures as required in Note 1 of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

Segment Disclosures
The Company hasone reportable segment identified as towing and recovery equipment, which is manufactured in the United States, United Kingdom, and France. The Company designs and manufactures bodies of car carriers and wreckers, which are installed on chassis (manufactured by third parties) and sold to our customers. Net sales is primarily derived from the sale of towing and recovery equipment through our distributor network or directly to end-user customers.
The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (the “CODM”) is the President and Chief Executive Officer. The CODM assesses performance for the segment and decides how to allocate resources based on consolidated net income as reported on the consolidated statements of income. The CODM also uses current market conditions to evaluate income generated from segment assets in deciding whether to recommend reinvesting profits into the segment or into other parts of the entity, such as for acquisitions or to pay dividends. Net income is used to monitor budget versus actual results. The CODM also uses net income in competitive analysis by benchmarking to the Company’s competitors. The competitive analysis and the monitoring of budgeted versus actual results are used in assessing the segment’s performance.
The accounting policies of the segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies included in Note 1 of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. The measure of segment assets is reported on the consolidated balance sheet as total consolidated assets.

4. LONG-TERM OBLIGATIONS
Credit Facility
The Company’s loan agreement with First Horizon Bank, which governs its$100.0 million amended unsecured revolving credit facility with a maturity date of May 31, 2027, contains customary representations and warranties, events of default, and financial, affirmative, and negative covenants for loan agreements of this kind. The credit facility restricts the payment of cash dividends if the payment would cause the Company to be in violation of the minimum tangible net worth test or the leverage ratio test in the loan agreement, among various other customary covenants. In the absence of default, all borrowings under the credit facility bear interest at the one-month Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus 1.00% or 1.25% per annum.
We were in compliance with all covenants under the credit facility throughout 2024 and during the first three months of 2025. The Company pays a quarterly non-usage fee under the current loan agreement at a rate per annum equal to between 0.15% and 0.35% of the unused amount of the credit facility.
Forthe three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, interest expense on the credit facility was$1.0 million and$0.9 million, respectively. The Company had outstanding borrowings of$75.0 million and$65.0 million under the credit facility as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

5. INCOME TAXES
As of March 31, 2025, the Company hadno federal net operating loss carryforwards. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, state net operating loss carryforwards were$8.9 million.
6. LEASES
We have lease agreements for equipment and facilities under long-term, non-cancellable leases. We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception by evaluating whether the arrangement conveys the right to use an identified asset and whether we obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from, and have the ability to direct, the use of the asset. Our lease agreements generally do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use assets, current operating lease liabilities, and long-term operating lease liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Operating lease right-of-use assets and corresponding operating lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term, plus payments made prior to lease commencement and any initial direct costs. Operating lease expense for operating lease assets is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.
We also have elected to apply a practical expedient for short-term leases whereby we do not recognize a lease liability or a right-of-use asset for leases with a term of 12 months or less. The Company recognizes short-term leases on a straight-line basis and does not record a related right-of-use asset or lease obligation for such contracts. Our leases have remaining lease terms that expire at various dates through 2029. Some of our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease, and the Company includes those leases when it is reasonably certain we will exercise that option.

Contingencies
The Company has entered into arrangements with third-party lenders where it has agreed to repurchase products that are repossessed from the independent distributor customer in the event of default. These arrangements are typically subject to a maximum repurchase amount. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and year ended December 31, 2024, the maximum amount of collateral the Company could be required to purchase was$154.1 million and$154.9 million, respectively. The Company’s financial exposure under these arrangements is limited to the difference between the amount paid to third-party lenders for repurchases of inventory and the amount received upon subsequent resale of the repossessed product. The Company had no repurchases of inventory during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and year ended December 31, 2024 and concluded the liability associated with potential repurchase obligations was neither probable, nor material.
Litigation
We are subject to a variety of claims and lawsuits that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business. The Company has established accruals for matters that are probable and reasonably estimable, and maintains product liability and other insurance that management believes to be adequate. Although management believes that any pending claims and lawsuits will not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations, the adjudication of such matters is subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s assessment may change depending on future events.
