Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Information
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2025, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Shareholders’ Equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, have been prepared by the Company and have not been audited.
| 2. | Revenue Recognition |
Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to the customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company generates all of its revenue from contracts with customers. Additionally, contract amounts represent the full amount of the transaction price as agreed upon with the customer at the time of order, resulting in a single performance obligation in most cases. In the case of a single order containing multiple upfits, the transaction price may represent multiple performance obligations.
Disaggregation of Revenue
The following table provides information about disaggregated revenue by customer type and timing of revenue recognition, and includes a reconciliation of the disaggregated revenue with reportable segments.

| 3. | Credit Losses |
The majority of the Company’s accounts receivable are due from distributors of truck equipment and dealers of completed upfit trucks. Credit is extended based on an evaluation of a customer’s financial condition. A receivable is considered past due if payments have not been received within agreed upon invoice terms. Accounts receivable are written off after all collection efforts have been exhausted. The Company takes a security interest in the inventory as collateral for the receivable but often does not have a priority security interest. The Company has short-term accounts receivable at its Work Truck Attachments and Work Truck Solutions segments subject to evaluation for expected credit losses. Expected credit losses are estimated based on the loss-rate and probability of default methods. On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates its accounts receivable and establishes the allowance for credit losses based on specific customer circumstances, past events including collections and write-off history, current conditions, and reasonable forecasts about the future.
The following table rolls forward the activity related to credit losses for trade accounts receivable at each segment, and on a consolidated basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024:

| 4. | Fair Value |
Fair value is the price at which an asset could be exchanged in a current transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties. A liability’s fair value is defined as the amount that would be paid to transfer the liability to a new obligor, not the amount that would be paid to settle the liability with the creditor. Fair value measurements are categorized into one of three levels based on the lowest level of significant input used: Level 1 (unadjusted quoted prices in active markets); Level 2 (observable market inputs available at the measurement date, other than quoted prices included in Level 1); and Level 3 (unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data).
The following table presents financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and discloses the fair value of long-term debt:
| Fair Value at | Fair Value at | |||||||
| September 30, | December 31, | |||||||
| 2025 | 2024 | |||||||
| Assets: | ||||||||
| Non-qualified benefit plan assets (a) | $ | $ | ||||||

| Steel hedging instrument (d) | ||||||||
| Total Assets | $ | $ | ||||||
| Liabilities: | ||||||||
| Long-term debt (c) | $ | $ | ||||||
| Steel hedging instrument (d) | ||||||||
| Total Liabilities | $ | $ | ||||||
(a) Included in Non-qualified benefit plan assets is the cash surrender value of insurance policies on various individuals that are associated with the Company. The carrying amount of these insurance policies approximates their fair value and is considered a Level 2 input. The Company had outstanding loans of $
(b) Valuation models are calibrated to initial trade price. Subsequent valuations are based on observable inputs to the valuation model (e.g. interest rates and credit spreads). Model inputs are changed only when corroborated by market data. A credit risk adjustment is made on each swap using observable market credit spreads. Thus, inputs used to determine fair value of the interest rate swap are Level 2 inputs. Interest rate swaps of $
(c) The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt, including current maturities, approximates its carrying value. Long-term debt is recorded at carrying amount, net of discount and deferred debt issuance costs, as disclosed on the face of the balance sheet.
(d) Valuation models are calibrated to initial trade price. Subsequent valuations are based on observable inputs to the valuation model (e.g., market prices). Model inputs are changed only when corroborated by market data. Thus, inputs used to determine fair value of the interest rate swap are Level 2 inputs. Steel hedging instruments of positive $

The inventories in the table above do not include truck chassis inventory financed through a floor plan financing agreement, which are recorded separately on the balance sheet. The Company takes title to truck chassis upon receipt of the inventory through its floor plan agreement and performs upfitting service installations to the truck chassis inventory during the installation period. The floor plan obligation is then assumed by the dealer customer upon delivery. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had $

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is engaged in various litigation including product liability and intellectual property disputes. However, the Company does not believe that any pending litigation will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position. In addition, the Company is not currently a party to any environmental-related claims or legal matters.
| 15. | Segments |
The Company operates through operating segments for which separate financial information is available, and for which operating results are evaluated regularly by the Company's chief operating decision maker in determining resource allocation and assessing performance.
The Company’s chief operating decision maker is its Chief Executive Officer. The chief operating decision maker assesses performance for the Work Truck Attachments and Work Truck Solutions segments and decides how to allocate resources based on Adjusted EBITDA. The chief operating decision maker uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate profit generated by the segments in deciding where to reinvest profits, whether it be within the segments or for other purposes such as paying dividends, repurchasing stock, or other general corporate uses. The chief operating decision maker also uses segment Adjusted EBITDA as a metric in benchmarking performance against competitors, as well as in evaluating the compensation of certain employees.
The Company’s two reportable business segments are as follows:
Work Truck Attachments. The Work Truck Attachments segment includes commercial snow and ice management attachments sold under the FISHER®, WESTERN® and SNOWEX® brands, as well as the Company's vertically integrated products. This segment consists of the Company's operations that manufacture and sell snow and ice control products.
Work Truck Solutions. The Work Truck Solutions segment includes manufactured municipal snow and ice control products under the HENDERSON® brand and the up-fit of market leading attachments and storage solutions under the HENDERSON® brand, and the DEJANA® brand and its related sub-brands.
Segment performance is evaluated based on segment net sales and Adjusted EBITDA. Separate financial information is available for the operating segments. In addition, segment results include an allocation of all corporate costs to Work Truck Attachments and Work Truck Solutions. No single customer’s revenues amounted to 10% or more of the Company’s total revenue. Sales are primarily within the United States and substantially all assets are located within the United States.
Sales between Work Truck Attachments and Work Truck Solutions reflect the Company’s intercompany pricing policy. The following table shows summarized financial information concerning the Company’s reportable segments:

Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These statements include information relating to future events, product demand, the payment of dividends, future financial performance, strategies, expectations, competitive environment, regulation and availability of financial resources. These statements are often identified by use of words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “intend,” “estimate,” “expect,” “continue,” “should,” “could,” “may,” “plan,” “project,” “predict,” “will” and similar expressions and include references to assumptions and relate to our future prospects, developments and business strategies. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to: (i) weather conditions, particularly lack of or reduced levels of snowfall and the timing of such snowfall, including as a result of global climate change; (ii) our ability to manage general economic, business and geopolitical conditions, including the impacts of natural disasters, labor strikes, global political instability, adverse developments affecting the banking and financial services industries, pandemics and outbreaks of contagious diseases and other adverse public health developments; (iii) increases in the price of steel or other materials, including as a result of tariffs or inflationary conditions, necessary for the production of our products that cannot be passed on to our distributors; (iv) our inability to maintain good relationships with the original equipment manufacturers (“OEM”) with whom we currently do significant business; (v) the inability of our suppliers and OEM partners to meet our volume or quality requirements; (vi) increases in the price of fuel or freight, (vii) the effects of laws and regulations and their interpretations on our business and financial condition, including policy or regulatory changes related to climate change; (viii) a significant decline in economic conditions; (ix) our inability to maintain good relationships with our distributors; (x) lack of available or favorable financing options for our end-users, distributors or customers; (xi) inaccuracies in our estimates of future demand for our products; (xii) our inability to protect or continue to build our intellectual property portfolio; (xiii) our inability to develop new products or improve upon existing products in response to end-user needs; (xiv) losses due to lawsuits arising out of personal injuries associated with our products; (xv) factors that could impact the future declaration and payment of dividends or our ability to execute repurchases under our stock repurchase program; (xvi) our inability to effectively manage the use of artificial intelligence; (xvii) our inability to compete effectively against competition; (xviii) our inability to successfully implement our new enterprise resource planning system at Dejana; (xix) our inability to achieve the projected financial performance with the assets of Venco Venturo, which we acquired in 2025 and unexpected costs or liabilities related to such acquisition, as well as those discussed in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, if any, or in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. Given these risks and uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. In addition, the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q speak only as of the date hereof and we undertake no obligation, except as required by law, to update or release any revisions to any forward-looking statement, even if new information becomes available in the future.
Results of Operations
The Company’s two reportable business segments are as follows:
Work Truck Attachments. The Work Truck Attachments segment includes commercial snow and ice management attachments sold under the FISHER®, WESTERN® and SNOWEX® brands, as well as our vertically integrated products. This segment consists of our operations that manufacture and sell snow and ice control products. As described under “Seasonality and Year-To-Year Variability,” the Work Truck Attachments Segment is seasonal and, as a result, its results of operations can vary from quarter-to-quarter and from year-to-year.
Work Truck Solutions. The Work Truck Solutions segment includes manufactured municipal snow and ice control products under the HENDERSON® brand and the up-fit of market leading attachments and storage solutions under the HENDERSON® brand, and the DEJANA® brand and its related sub-brands.
In addition, segment results include an allocation of all corporate costs to Work Truck Attachments and Work Truck Solutions.
Business Update
As a result of recent market volatility, enacted or potential tariffs, supply chain disruptions, labor strikes, labor shortages, inflationary pressures (including around materials, freight, labor and benefits) and other economic trends, our results of operations may be significantly impacted in future quarters. While Douglas Dynamics is primarily a domestic manufacturer and upfitter and most of our revenue is from domestic customers, we do rely on a global supply chain to source our parts and materials. We source certain materials from China and other countries where tariffs and export restrictions have been enacted or proposed. We may see increased materials costs as a result of these existing or future tariffs and export restrictions, and we may be unable to effectively offset these tariffs or export restrictions with price increases, which could negatively impact our profitability in future quarters. We may have challenges in short-term liquidity that could impact our ability to fund working capital needs. We have taken various steps to preserve liquidity. We reduce discretionary spending where possible and defer payments where appropriate within existing contractual terms, while remaining committed to long term growth projects. In consideration of these recent macroeconomic trends and the various actions that we have taken to preserve our liquidity, we expect that cash on hand and cash we generate from operations, as well as available credit under our senior credit facilities, will provide adequate funds for the foreseeable future.

Net Sales
Net sales were $162.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $129.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $32.7 million, or 25.3%. Net sales were $471.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $425.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $46.5 million, or 10.9%. The increase in sales for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 is a result of strong municipal and commercial volumes and higher sales of Company-purchased chassis at Work Truck Solutions, as well as higher volumes at Work Truck Attachments related to the timing of preseason shipments between the second and third quarters. The increase in sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 is a result of strong municipal volumes, higher sales of Company-purchased chassis and price increase realization at Work Truck Solutions, as well as improved snowfall in our core markets leading to higher Attachments volumes in 2025. See below for a discussion of net sales for each of our segments.

The increase in sales in the three months ended September 30, 2025 was due to higher volumes related to the timing of preseason shipments between the second and third quarters, as well as price increase realization. The increase in sales in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 is related to improved snowfall in our core markets leading to higher volumes in 2025, and price increase realization. The most recent snow season ended March 2025 was 12% below the 10-year average, but was approximately 30% better than the prior snow season, which saw snowfall 39.0% below the 10-year average.
Net sales at our Work Truck Solutions segment were $94.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $69.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $24.9 million. Net sales at our Work Truck Solutions segment were $258.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $222.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $36.1 million. The increase in sales for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 was a result of improved municipal and commercial volumes, improved throughput, and higher sales of Company-purchased chassis. The increase in sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 was a result of improved municipal volumes, improved throughput, price increase realization, and higher sales of Company-purchased chassis.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales was $124.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $98.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $25.5 million or 25.9%. Cost of sales was $345.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $313.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $31.1 million or 9.9%. The increase in cost of sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in the prior year was driven by the higher volumes. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales were 76.5% and 73.2% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to 76.1% and 73.9% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. The increase in cost of sales as a percentage of sales in the three months ended September 30, 2025 is related to segment mix. The decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of sales in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 is related to the higher volumes, efficiencies and segment mix.
Gross Profit
Gross profit was $38.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $30.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $7.2 million, or 23.3%. Gross profit was $126.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $111.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $15.4 million, or 13.9%. The change in gross profit is attributable to the changes in sales as discussed above under “—Net Sales.” As a percentage of net sales, gross profit decreased from 23.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 to 23.5% for the corresponding period in 2025. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased from 26.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 to 26.8% for the corresponding period in 2025. The reasons for the changes in gross profit as a percentage of net sales are the same as those relating to the changes in cost of sales as a percentage of sales discussed above under “—Cost of Sales.”
Selling, General and Administrative Expense
Selling, general and administrative expenses, including intangibles amortization, were $24.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $27.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of $3.3 million, or 12.1%. Selling, general and administrative expenses, including intangibles amortization, were $72.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $76.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of $4.1 million, or 5.4%. The decrease in the three months ended September 30, 2025 is related to $5.2 million in transaction costs related to the sale leaseback transaction incurred in 2024, somewhat offset by higher incentive compensation expense of $1.5 million and higher stock-based compensation expense of $0.7 million. The decrease in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 is related to $5.2 million in transaction costs related to the sale leaseback transaction incurred in 2024, lower intangibles amortization of $1.2 million related to an asset becoming fully amortized when compared to the prior year, lower CEO transition costs of $1.0 million, lower employee benefits costs of $1.0 million, and lower bad debt expense of $0.4 million somewhat offset by higher incentive-based compensation of $2.0 million, higher stock-based compensation expense of $1.6 million, as well as higher rent expense.
Impairment Charges
Impairment charges were $1.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The impairment charges in 2024 relate to certain internally developed software at our Work Truck Attachments segment and represent the full capitalized value of the software.
Gain on Sale Leaseback Transaction
Gain on sale leaseback transaction was $42.3 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, see Note 7 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the sale leaseback transaction.
Debt Modification Expense
Debt modification expense was $0.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The debt modification expense in 2025 related to fees incurred in conjunction with the Company’s March 26, 2025 refinancing of its term loan and revolving credit facilities by virtue of entering into the Credit Agreement.
Loss on Extinguishment of Debt
Loss on extinguishment of debt was $0.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The loss on extinguishment of debt in 2025 related to fees incurred in conjunction with the Company’s March 26, 2025 refinancing of its term loan and revolving credit facilities by virtue of entering into the Credit Agreement.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $3.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, a decrease compared to the $4.5 million incurred in the same period in the prior year. Interest expense was $9.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, a decrease compared to the $12.1 million incurred in the same period in the prior year. The decrease in interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was due to lower interest on our term loan of $0.8 million and lower interest on our revolver of $0.5 million, somewhat offset by higher floor plan interest of $0.8 million. The decrease in interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was due to lower interest on our term loan of $2.0 million and lower interest on our revolver of $1.9 million due to having lower revolver borrowings compared to the prior year, somewhat offset by higher floor plan interest of $1.1 million.
Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rate was 23.5% and 22.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate was 24.4% and 24.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 includes the impact of OBBBA on certain tax credits. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was impacted by the establishment of reserves for uncertain tax positions of $0.9 million.
On July 4, 2025, OBBBA, was signed into law. OBBBA amends U.S. tax law including provisions related to bonus depreciation, research and development and foreign derived intangible income.
Net Income
Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was $8.0 million, compared to $32.3 million for the corresponding period in 2024, a decrease of $24.3 million. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $34.1 million, compared to $48.2 million for the corresponding period in 2024, a decrease of $14.1 million. The change in net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 was driven by the factors described above under “— Net Sales,” “— Cost of Sales,” “— Selling, General and Administrative Expense,” “— Impairment Charges,” “— Gain on Sale Leaseback Transaction,” “— Debt Modification Expense,” “— Loss on Extinguishment of Debt,” “—Interest Expense," and “— Income Taxes.” As a percentage of net sales, net income was 4.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to 24.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2024. As a percentage of net sales, net income was 7.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to 11.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Discussion of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates previously disclosed in our Form 10-K (Commission File No. 001-34728) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation — Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.”
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of cash have been, and we expect will continue to be, cash from operations and borrowings under our senior credit facilities.
Our primary uses of cash are to provide working capital, meet debt service requirements, finance capital expenditures, pay dividends under our dividend policy and support our growth, including through potential acquisitions, and for other general corporate purposes. For a description of the seasonality of our working capital rates see “—Seasonality and Year-To-Year Variability.”
Our Board of Directors has adopted a dividend policy that reflects an intention to distribute to our stockholders a regular quarterly cash dividend. The declaration and payment of these dividends to holders of our common stock is at the discretion of our Board of Directors and depends upon many factors, including our financial condition and earnings, legal requirements, taxes and other factors our Board of Directors may deem to be relevant. The terms of our indebtedness may also restrict us from paying cash dividends on our common stock under certain circumstances. As a result of this dividend policy, we may not have significant cash available to meet any large unanticipated liquidity requirements. As a result, we may not retain a sufficient amount of cash to fund our operations or to finance unanticipated capital expenditures or growth opportunities, including acquisitions. Our Board of Directors may, however, amend, revoke or suspend our dividend policy at any time and for any reason.
On February 16, 2022, our Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up to $50.0 million in shares of common stock at market value. This authorization does not have an expiration date. Repurchases under the program may be made in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, with the amount and timing of repurchases depending on market conditions and corporate needs. We may also, from time to time, enter into Rule 10b5-1 trading plans to facilitate repurchases of our shares under this authorization. This program does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of shares and the program may be extended, modified, suspended or discontinued at any time at our discretion. We repurchased approximately $6.0 million in shares during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
As of September 30, 2025, we had $70.1 million of total liquidity, comprised of $10.6 million in cash and cash equivalents and $59.5 million of borrowing availability under our revolving credit facility, compared with total liquidity as of December 31, 2024 of approximately $154.6 million, comprised of approximately $5.1 million in cash and cash equivalents and borrowing availability of approximately $149.5 million under our revolving credit facility. The change in our total liquidity from December 31, 2024 is primarily due to the seasonality of our business. In addition, as discussed in Note 7 and Note 9 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, in September 2024 we executed a sale leaseback transaction for gross proceeds of $64.2 million, and using a portion of the proceeds we paid down $42.0 million on our term loan. We have taken various steps to preserve liquidity. In January 2024, we implemented the 2024 Cost Savings Program, which was primarily in the form of restructuring charges for salaried headcount reductions and impacted both the Work Truck Attachments segment and corporate functions. We are also continuing to reduce discretionary spending where appropriate and deferring payments where appropriate within existing contractual terms, while remaining committed to long term growth projects. We expect that cash on hand and cash we generate from operations, as well as available credit under our senior credit facilities, will provide adequate funds for the primary uses of cash we describe above for the foreseeable future. From time to time, we may seek additional funding through the issuance of debt or equity securities to provide additional liquidity to fund acquisitions aligned with our strategic priorities and for other general corporate purposes.
The following table shows our cash and cash equivalents, net accounts receivable and inventories at September 30, 2025, December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024.

Net cash used in operating activities decreased $12.0 million from the nine months ended September 30, 2024 to the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease in cash used in operating activities was due to a $35.8 million increase in net income adjusted for reconciling items, somewhat offset by unfavorable changes in working capital and operating assets and liabilities of $23.7 million. The largest unfavorable changes in working capital and operating assets and liabilities was an increase in cash used in accounts receivable related to the higher sales year over year, as well as an increase in cash used related to contractually required improvements on the properties under the sale leaseback transaction.
Net cash used in investing activities increased $68.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the corresponding period in 2024 due to gross proceeds on the sale leaseback transaction of $64.2 million in the prior year, as well as a higher level of capital expenditures related to the acquisition of equipment and the improvement of facilities.
Net cash provided financing activities increased $77.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the corresponding period in 2024. The increase in cash provided was related to having $65.0 million in revolver borrowings outstanding at September 30, 2025 and $0.0 million in revolver borrowings outstanding at December 31, 2024, compared to $63.0 million in revolver borrowings outstanding at September 30, 2024 and $47.0 million in revolver borrowings outstanding at December 31, 2023. This increase in cash provided was somewhat offset by there being $6.0 million in share repurchases in the nine months ended September 30, 2025, with no repurchases in the corresponding period in the prior year. In addition, the increase in cash provided by financing activities is related to a $42.0 million voluntary pre-payment of debt amortization principal payments in September 2024 using a portion of the proceeds from the sale leaseback transaction
Free Cash Flow
Free cash flow for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was ($11.4) million compared to ($15.4) million in the corresponding period in 2024, an increase of $4.0 million. Free cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was ($29.3) million compared to ($37.3) million in the corresponding period in 2024, an increase of $8.0 million. The increase in free cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 is primarily a result of lower cash used in operating activities of $12.0 million as discussed above under “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains financial information calculated other than in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).
These non-GAAP measures include:
| ● |
Free cash flow; and |
| ● |
Adjusted EBITDA; and |
| ● |
Adjusted net income and earnings per share. |
These non-GAAP disclosures should not be construed as an alternative to the reported results determined in accordance with GAAP.
Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure which we define as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures. Free cash flow should be evaluated in addition to, and not considered a substitute for, other financial measures such as net income and cash flow provided by (used in) operations. We believe that free cash flow represents our ability to generate additional cash flow from our business operations.
The following table reconciles net cash used in operating activities, a GAAP measure, to free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure.

Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted for certain charges consisting of unrelated legal and consulting fees, severance, restructuring charges, write downs of property, plant and equipment, impairment charges, CEO transition costs, insurance proceeds, debt modification expense, loss on extinguishment of debt, gain on sale leaseback transaction and related transaction costs, and stock-based compensation. We use, and we believe our investors benefit from the presentation of, Adjusted EBITDA in evaluating our operating performance because it provides us and our investors with additional tools to compare our operating performance on a consistent basis by removing the impact of certain items that management believes do not directly reflect our core operations. In addition, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors and other external users of our consolidated financial statements in evaluating our operating performance as compared to that of other companies, because it allows them to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items such as interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods and book value of assets and liabilities, capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired. Our management also uses Adjusted EBITDA for planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget and financial projections. Management also uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our ability to make certain payments, including dividends, in compliance with our senior credit facilities, which is determined based on a calculation of “Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA” that is substantially similar to Adjusted EBITDA.
Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool. As a result, you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for net income, operating income, cash flow provided by (used in) operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
| ● |
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; |
| ● |
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; |
| ● |
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our indebtedness; |
| ● |
Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; |
| ● |
Other companies, including other companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure; and |
| ● |
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect tax obligations whether current or deferred. |
The following table presents a reconciliation of net income, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, to Adjusted EBITDA as well as the resulting calculation of Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024:

Adjusted EBITDA at our Work Truck Attachments segment was $10.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $8.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $2.4 million. Adjusted EBITDA at our Work Truck Attachments segment was $42.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $39.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $2.9 million. The increase in the three months ended September 30, 2025 is due to higher volumes related to the timing of preseason shipments between the second and third quarters. The increase in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 from the corresponding period in 2024 was due to improved snowfall in our core markets leading to higher volumes in 2025. The most recent snow season ended March 2025 was 12% below the 10-year average, but was approximately 30% better than the prior snow season, which had snowfall 39.0% below the 10-year average.
Adjusted EBITDA at our Work Truck Solutions segment was $9.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $7.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $2.4 million. Adjusted EBITDA at our Work Truck Solutions segment was $29.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $21.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $8.7 million. The change in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 was due to improved municipal volumes, improved throughput, price increase realization, and improved efficiencies.
Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share (calculated on a diluted basis) represents net income and earnings per share (as defined by GAAP), excluding the impact of stock-based compensation, severance, restructuring charges, write downs of property, plant and equipment, impairment charges, CEO transition costs, insurance proceeds, debt modification expense, loss on extinguishment of debt, gain on sale leaseback transaction and related transaction costs, certain charges related to unrelated legal fees and consulting fees, and adjustments on derivatives not classified as hedges, net of their income tax impact. Adjustments on derivatives not classified as hedges are non-cash and are related to overall financial market conditions; therefore, management believes such costs are unrelated to our business and are not representative of our results. Management believes that Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share are useful in assessing the Company’s financial performance by eliminating expenses and income that are not reflective of the underlying business performance. We believe that the presentation of adjusted net income for the periods presented allows investors to make meaningful comparisons of our operating performance between periods and to view our business from the same perspective as our management. Because the excluded items are not predictable or consistent, management does not consider them when evaluating our performance or when making decisions regarding allocation of resources.
The following table presents a reconciliation of net income, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, to Adjusted net income as well as a reconciliation of diluted earnings per share, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, to Adjusted diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024:

Future Obligations and Commitments
There have been no material changes to our future obligations and commitments in the three months ended September 30, 2025.
Impact of Inflation
Inflation in materials and labor had a material impact on our profitability in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 and, although we are starting to see certain inflationary pressures ease, we expect the impact of any tariffs enacted and any ongoing inflationary pressures may also impact our profitability in the remainder of 2025. While we anticipate being able to cover this inflation by raising prices, there may be a timing difference of when we incur the increased costs and when we realize the higher prices in our backlog. In prior year as a result of inflationary pressures due to tariffs, we experienced significant increases in steel costs, but were able to mitigate the effects of these increases through both temporary and permanent steel surcharges; we expect, but cannot be certain, that we will be able to do the same going forward.
Seasonality and Year-to-Year Variability
While our Work Truck Solutions segment has limited seasonality and variability, our Work Truck Attachments segment is seasonal and also varies from year-to-year. Consequently, our results of operations and financial condition for this segment vary from quarter-to-quarter and from year-to-year as well. In addition, because of this seasonality and variability, the results of operations for our Work Truck Attachments segment and our consolidated results of operations for any quarter may not be indicative of results of operations that may be achieved for a subsequent quarter or the full year, and may not be similar to results of operations experienced in prior years. That being the case, while snowfall levels vary within a given year and from year-to-year, snowfall, and the corresponding replacement cycle of snow and ice control equipment manufactured and sold by our Work Truck Attachments segment, is relatively consistent over multi-year periods.
Sales of our Work Truck Attachments products are significantly impacted by the level, timing and location of snowfall, with sales in any given year and region most heavily influenced by snowfall levels in the prior snow season (which we consider to begin in October and end in March) in that region. This is due to the fact that end-user demand for our Work Truck Attachments products is driven primarily by the condition of their snow and ice control equipment, and in the case of professional snowplowers, by their financial ability to purchase new or replacement snow and ice control equipment, both of which are significantly affected by snowfall levels. Heavy snowfall during a given winter causes usage of our Work Truck Attachments products to increase, resulting in greater wear and tear to our products and a shortening of their life cycles, thereby creating a need for replacement commercial snow and ice control equipment and related parts and accessories. In addition, when there is a heavy snowfall in a given winter, the increased income our professional snowplowers generate from their professional snowplow activities provides them with increased purchasing power to purchase replacement commercial snow and ice control equipment prior to the following winter. To a lesser extent, sales of our Work Truck Attachments products are influenced by the timing of snowfall in a given winter. Because an early snowfall can be viewed as a sign of a heavy upcoming snow season, our end-users may respond to an early snowfall by purchasing replacement snow and ice control equipment during the current season rather than delaying purchases until after the season is over when most purchases are typically made by end-users.
We attempt to manage the seasonal impact of snowfall on our revenues in part through our pre-season sales program, which involves actively soliciting and encouraging pre-season distributor orders in the second and third quarters by offering our Work Truck Attachments distributors a combination of pricing, payment and freight incentives during this period. These pre-season sales incentives encourage our Work Truck Attachments distributors to re-stock their inventory during the second and third quarters in anticipation of the peak fourth quarter retail sales period by offering pre-season pricing and payment deferral until the fourth quarter. As a result, we tend to generate our greatest volume of sales (an average of over two-thirds over the last ten years) for the Work Truck Attachments segment during the second and third quarters, providing us with manufacturing visibility for the remainder of the year. By contrast, our revenue and operating results for the Work Truck Attachments segment tend to be lowest during the first quarter, as management believes our end-users prefer to wait until the beginning of a snow season to purchase new equipment and as our distributors sell off inventory and wait for our pre-season sales incentive period to re-stock inventory. Fourth quarter sales for the Work Truck Attachments segment vary from year-to-year as they are primarily driven by the level, timing and location of snowfall during the quarter. This is because most of our fourth quarter sales and shipments for the Work Truck Attachments segment consist of re-orders by distributors seeking to restock inventory to meet immediate customer needs caused by snowfall during the winter months.
Because of the seasonality of our sales of Work Truck Attachments products, we experience seasonality in our working capital needs as well. In the first quarter, we typically require capital as we are generally required to build our inventory for the Work Truck Attachments segment in anticipation of our second and third quarter pre-season sales. During the second and third quarters, our working capital requirements rise as our accounts receivable for the Work Truck Attachments segment increase as a result of the sale and shipment of products ordered through our pre-season sales program, and as we continue to build inventory. Working capital requirements peak towards the end of the third quarter and then begin to decline through the fourth quarter through a reduction in accounts receivable for the Work Truck Attachments segment when we receive the majority of the payments for pre-season shipped products.
We also attempt to manage the impact of seasonality and year-to-year variability on our business costs through the effective management of our assets. Our asset management and profit focus strategies include:
| ● |
the employment of a highly variable cost structure facilitated by a core group of workers that we supplement with a temporary workforce as sales volumes dictate, which allows us to adjust costs on an as-needed basis in response to changing demand; |
| ● |
our enterprise-wide lean concept, which allows us to adjust production levels up or down to meet demand; |
| ● |
the pre-season order program described above, which incentivizes distributors to place orders prior to the retail selling season; and |
| ● |
a vertically integrated business model. |
These asset management and profit focus strategies, among other management tools, allow us to adjust fixed overhead and selling, general and administrative expenditures to account for the year-to-year variability of our sales volumes.
Additionally, although our annual capital expenditures are modest, they can be temporarily reduced by up to approximately 40% in response to actual or anticipated decreases in sales volumes. If we are unsuccessful in our asset management initiatives, the seasonality and year-to-year variability effects on our business may be compounded and in turn our results of operations and financial condition may suffer.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We do not use financial instruments for speculative trading purposes, and do not hold any derivative financial instruments that could expose us to significant market risk. Other than the broad effects of recent macro-economic trends and their negative impact on the global economy and major financial markets, our primary market risk exposures are changes in interest rates and steel price fluctuations.
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to market risk primarily from changes in interest rates. Our borrowings, including our term loan and any revolving borrowings under our senior credit facilities, are at variable rates of interest and expose us to interest rate risk. A portion of our interest rate risk associated with our term loan is mitigated through interest rate swaps. In addition, the interest rate on any revolving borrowings is subject to an increase in the interest rate based on our average daily availability under our revolving credit facility.
As of September 30, 2025, we had outstanding borrowings under our term loan of $145.9 million. A hypothetical interest rate change of 1%, 1.5% and 2% on our term loan would have changed interest incurred for the three months ended September 30, 2025 by $0.1 million, $0.1 million, and $0.1 million, respectively.
As of September 30, 2025, we had $65.0 million in outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility. A hypothetical interest rate change of 1%, 1.5% and 2% on our revolving credit facility would have changed interest incurred for the three months ended September 30, 2025 by $0.1 million, $0.2 million, and $0.3 million, respectively.
Commodity Price Risk
In the normal course of business, we are exposed to market risk related to our purchase of steel, the primary commodity upon which our manufacturing depends. Our steel purchases as a percentage of revenue were 5.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to 5.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Our steel purchases as a percentage of revenue were 6.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to 7.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.While steel is typically available from numerous suppliers, the price of steel is a commodity subject to fluctuations that apply across broad spectrums of the steel market. If the price of steel increases, including as a result of tariffs, our variable costs could also increase. While historically we have successfully mitigated these increased costs through the implementation of either permanent price increases and/or temporary invoice surcharges, there may be timing differences between when we realize the price increases and incur the increased costs, and in the future we may not be able to successfully mitigate these costs, which could cause our gross margins to decline. If our costs for steel were to increase by $1.00 in a period where we are not able to pass any of this increase onto our distributors, our gross margins would decline by $1.00 in the period in which such inventory was sold.
On December 17, 2024, we entered into a steel hedging agreement to reduce our exposure to commodity price swings. The steel hedging instrument has a notional quantity of 3,000 short tons and is effective for the period August 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025, which we expect to be slightly less than half of our exposure during the effective period. Under the steel hedge agreement, we will make fixed payments of $819 per short ton for the Steel Hot Rolled Coil (HRC) commodity. The steel hedging instrument is accounted for as a cash flow hedge. The steel hedging instrument's fair value at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was positive $0.0 million and negative $0.1 million, respectively, which is included in Prepaid and other current assets and Accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, respectively.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in such reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In March 2025, we completed an ERP implementation at our Dejana Truck & Utility Equipment Company, LLC subsidiary. As a result of the implementation, we have implemented or expect to implement certain changes to our processes and procedures, which, in turn, will result in changes to our internal control over financial reporting. While we expect this implementation to either strengthen or have minimal impact to our existing internal controls, we will continue to evaluate and monitor our internal control over financial reporting as processes and procedures are finalized with the implementation.
With the exception of the implementation of the ERP system described above, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
In the ordinary course of business, we are engaged in various litigation matters primarily including product liability and intellectual property disputes. However, management does not believe that any current litigation is material to our operations or financial position. In addition, we are not currently party to any environmental-related claims or legal matters.
There have been no significant changes in our risk factors from those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we did not sell any securities that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
On February 16, 2022, our Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up to $50.0 million in shares of common stock at market value (the “2022 repurchase plan”). This authorization does not have an expiration date. Repurchases under the program may be made in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, with the amount and timing of repurchases depending on market conditions and corporate needs. We may also, from time to time, enter into Rule 10b5-1 trading plans to facilitate repurchases of its shares under this authorization. This program does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of shares and the program may be extended, modified, suspended or discontinued at any time at the Company’s discretion. Shares repurchased under the 2022 repurchase plan are retired.
Total share repurchases under the 2022 repurchase plan for the three months ended September 30, 2025 are as follows:
