“Holley delivered very solid fourth quarter results, capping off what has been a milestone year for the Company,” said Tom Tomlinson, Holley’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Strong consumer demand for our products continues to drive growth across our various sales channels and we look forward to driving further consumer engagement as we enter 2022.”

Fourth Quarter 2021 Financial Results

Net sales increased 29.9% to $179.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, up from $138.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. Non-comparable sales associated with acquisitions contributed $24.0 million, or 17.3%, of year-over-year net sales growth in the fourth quarter. Sales excluding the impact of acquisitions increased by $17.4 million and contributed 12.6% of year-over-year growth.

Cost of goods sold increased $21.2 million, or 25.3%, to $105.1 million, as compared to $83.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2020 and is primarily attributable to the increase in product sales. Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2021 increased $20.2 million, or 37.0%, to $74.7 million, as compared to $54.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2020. The increase in gross profit was driven by the increase in sales. Gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2021 was 41.6% compared to a gross margin of 39.4% for the fourth quarter of 2020. The increase in margin is attributable to price increases, increased leverage from the higher sales, and product mix.

Selling, general and administrative costs for the quarter increased $15.6 million to $37.7 million, representing an increase of 70.7% when compared to $22.1 million in 2020. Incremental SG&A from recent acquisitions were responsible for $4.1 million of the increase in the quarter. Additional cost drivers include an increase in non-cash compensation expense related to equity awards, increased costs associated with operating as a public company, an increase in outbound shipping costs related to higher sales, and an increase in professional fees related to acquisitions.

Net income for the fourth quarter of 2021 was impacted by a non-cash liability increase for warrants and earn-out shares, and a loss on early extinguishment of debt. Growth in operating income was more than offset by these expenses. As a result, we recorded a net loss of $(18.0) million in the fourth quarter compared to net income of $2.0 million in 2020.

Adjusted for the special transaction and non-cash items noted above this quarter, Adjusted Net Income was $9.0 million, compared to last year’s Adjusted Net Income of $2.0 million. Reconciliation to GAAP Net Income is included in the “Use and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” table below.

Adjusted EBITDA grew to $36.1 million in the fourth quarter compared to $30.4 million in the fourth quarter last year. Reconciliation to GAAP Net Income is included in the “Use and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” table below.

EPS of $(0.16) for the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to $0.03 in 2020.

Significant Events During the Quarter

On November 19, 2021, Holley announced the successful refinancing of its 2018 credit facility with a new $825 million credit facility.

During the fourth quarter, Holley completed the acquisitions of Arizona Desert Shocks (ADS), Baer Brakes, Brothers Trucks, and Rocket Racing Wheels for approximately $56 million.

Full Year 2021 Financial Results

Net sales increased 37.4% to $692.8 million in 2021, up from $504.2 million in 2020. Non-comparable sales associated with acquisitions contributed $116.4 million, or 23.1%, of year-over-year growth. Sales excluding the impact of acquisitions increased by $72.3 million and contributed 14.3% of net sales growth in 2021.

Cost of goods sold increased $110.1 million, or 37.2%, to $406.0 million, as compared to $295.9 million for 2020 and is primarily attributable to the increase in product sales. Gross profit for 2021 increased $78.6

million, or 37.7%, to $286.8 million, as compared to $208.2 million for 2020. The increase in gross profit was driven by the increase in sales. Gross margin in 2021 was 41.4% compared to a gross margin of 41.3% in 2020.

Selling, general and administrative costs for year increased $45.9 million to $116.8 million, representing an increase of 64.8% when compared to $70.9 million in 2020. Incremental SG&A from recent acquisitions were responsible for $18.5 million of the increase. Additional cost drivers include increased professional fees, an increase in outbound shipping costs related to higher sales and domestic supply chain pressure, and an increase in non-cash compensation expense related to equity awards.

Net income for the year was impacted by a non-cash liability increase for warrants and earn-out shares, and a loss on early extinguishment of debt. As a result, we recorded a net loss of $(27.1) million in 2021 compared to net income of $32.9 million in 2020.

Adjusted for the special transaction and non-cash items noted above this year, Adjusted Net Income was $61.8 million, compared to last year’s Adjusted Net Income of $32.9 million. Reconciliation to GAAP Net Income is included in the “Use and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” table below.

Adjusted EBITDA grew to $169.5 million in 2021 compared to $126.2 million last year. Reconciliation to GAAP Net Income is included in the “Use and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” table below.

Basic EPS of $(0.30) in 2021 compared to $0.49 in 2020.

• Net Sales in the range of $765-$790 million

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this press release may be considered “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or Holley’s future financial or operating performance. For example, projections of future revenue and adjusted EBITDA and other metrics are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “expect,” “intend,” “will,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “predict,” “or” or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar terminology. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based upon estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by Holley and its management, are inherently uncertain. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations including, but are not limited to: 1) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the business combination with Empower LTD, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain relationships with customers and suppliers and retain its management and key employees; 2) costs related to the business combination and Holley becoming a public company; 3) disruptions to Holley's operations, including as a result of cybersecurity incidents; 4) changes in applicable laws or regulations; 5) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Holley; 6) general economic and political conditions, including political tensions and war (such as the ongoing conflict in Ukraine); 7) the possibility that Holley may be adversely affected by other economic, business and/or competitive factors; 8) Holley’s estimates of its financial performance; 9) the impact of the novel coronavirus disease pandemic and its effect on business and financial conditions; and 10) other risks and uncertainties set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in the Prospectus filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filed on February 23, 2022, and that are otherwise described or updated from time to time in Holley’s filings with the SEC. Although Holley believes the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, nothing in this press release should be regarded as a representation by any person that the forward-looking statements or projections set forth herein will be achieved or that any of the contemplated results of such forward looking statements or projections will be achieved. There may be additional risks that Holley presently does not know or that Holley currently believes are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. Holley undertakes any duty to update these forward-looking statements, except as otherwise required by law.

Holley believes EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income Per Share, and Organic Sales are useful to investors in evaluating the Company’s financial performance. In addition, Holley uses these measures internally to establish forecasts, budgets and operational goals to manage and monitor its business. Holley believes that these non-GAAP financial measures help to depict a more realistic representation of the performance of the underlying business, enabling the Company to evaluate and plan more effectively for the future.

Holley defines EBITDA as earnings before (a) interest expense, (b) income taxes and (c) depreciation and amortization. Holley defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus (i) acquisition integration and restructuring costs, (ii) an adjustment due to a change in the fair value of the Simpson acquisition contingent consideration payable, (iii) notable items that in 2021 consist primarily of the amortization of the fair market value increase in inventory and in 2020 consist primarily of the amortization of the fair market value increase in inventory and a legal settlement, (iv) compensation expense related to equity awards (v) changes in the fair value of the warrant liability, (vi) changes in the fair value of the Earn-Out Shares, (vii) losses from the early extinguishment of debt, (viii) related party acquisition and management fee costs, and (ix) other expenses, which includes losses from disposal of fixed assets and foreign currency transactions. We have included within the definition of Adjusted EBITDA the changes in the fair value of the warrant liability, changes in the fair value of the earn-out liability and losses from the early extinguishment of debt, as management believes such matters, when they occur, do not directly reflect the performance of the underlying business.

Holley calculates Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per share by excluding the after-tax effect of items considered by management to be special items from the earnings reported under U.S. GAAP. Management uses this measure to focus on on-going operations, and believes that it is useful to investors because it enables them to perform meaningful comparisons of past and present consolidated operating results. Holley believes that using this information, along with net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share, provides for a more complete analysis of the results of operations.

Organic sales, or sales excluding the impact of acquisitions, excludes the impact from sales from acquisitions within 365 days of the consummation of such acquisition. Holley believes organic sales provides investors with useful supplemental information regarding Holley's underlying sales trends.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income per share, and organic sales are not prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. These measures should not be considered as measures of financial performance under GAAP, and the items excluded from or included in these metrics are significant components in understanding and assessing Holley’s financial performance. These metrics should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss) or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP.

A forecast for full year 2022 Adjusted EBITDA is provided on a non-GAAP basis only because certain information necessary to calculate the most comparable GAAP measure is unavailable due to the uncertainty and inherent difficulty of predicting the occurrence and the future financial statement impact of certain items. Therefore, as a result of the uncertainty and variability of the nature and amount of future adjustments, which could be significant, Holley is unable to provide a reconciliation of these measures without unreasonable effort.
