Miller Industries Inc (MLR)

Is anybody else worried about the way this company is run, and the way the chairman has conveniently situated himself with a board that mainly benefits himself and his family. Not to mention, his son, being the current CEO, and his current divorce filing. Does this guy have the mental capacity to deal with the daily stresses of the real public market, while dealing with stressful personal problems, while also thinking of the shareholders needs and what is best for the company. It seems the personal use of company assets has played a large role and has taken value away from the shareholders. Someone needs to look into the background and credentials of the current executive positions, as they seem to just be slated in, based on tenure, and not definitive experience or job standards. Seems to me the company has bitten off more than they can chew is is just faking it until they make it, but is beginning to see the overwhelm of a real company, and the daily stresses outweigh the profits. Someone should buy them out and turn it into a real profit making business.

MILLER INDUSTRIES REPORTS 2026 FIRST QUARTER RESULTSMay 6, 2026 4:15 PM
PR Newswire (US) Sequential Revenue Growth Driven by Disciplined Production IncreasesOoltewah Capacity Expansion on TrackStrong Cash Flow Supports Capacity Expansion, Debt Reduction, and Shareholder ReturnsBoard of Directors Approves Dividend of $0.21 per ShareCHATTANOOGA, Tenn., May 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Miller Industries, Inc. (NYSE: MLR) ("Miller Industries" or the "Company") today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026, and provided updates on its global strategic initiatives.Q1 2026 Financial Results vs. Q1 2025Revenue: $180.9 million, a 19.8% decrease from $225.7 millionGross Profit: $25.7 million, a 24.3% decrease from $33.9 millionGross Margin: 14.2%, an 80 basis-point decrease from 15.0%SG&A Expenses: $23.9 million, a 3.0% increase from $23.3 millionNet Income: $555 thousand, a 93.1% decrease from $8.1 millionDiluted EPS: $0.05 per share, a decrease of 92.8% from $0.69 per diluted shareIn addition, Miller Industries acquired Omars in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. Based on preliminary valuation estimates, non-cash acquisition-related expenses associated with Omars—primarily tied to the sale of equipment adjusted to fair market value and amortization of the estimated intangible value of customer relationships—negatively impacted the Company's financial results for the first fiscal quarter of 2026 by approximately $0.13 per diluted share. The Company currently anticipates that this amount represents roughly one half of the total acquisition-related expenses expected to be recognized over the remainder of 2026. Miller Industries remains confident that the acquisition will be accretive in the first year after recognizing these non-cash acquisition–related expenses. The Company continues to work with its third–party valuation consultants, and the final amount to be expensed will be finalized upon completion of their analysis.First Quarter Business HighlightsDelivered sequential revenue growth as the Company increased production to meet rising order intake.Advancing site preparation for capacity expansion at Ooltewah to significantly enhance North American production capacity and support manufacturing for European and military operations; site expected to be ready for construction to begin by late summer.Continued strong cash flow generation, supporting the capacity expansion, continued debt reduction and returns of capital to shareholders.Returned $4.6 million directly to shareholders in the form of dividends and share repurchases during the quarter."First–quarter performance was consistent with our expectations, as we continued to carefully increase production in response to improving retail activity and order flow, driving sequential revenue growth," said William G. Miller II, Chief Executive Officer. "Near–term profitability continues to reflect elevated acquisition–related costs associated with Omars; however, we expect these expenses to moderate as the year progresses. Importantly, the business continued to generate solid cash flow, further strengthening our balance sheet and financial flexibility."Miller continued, "Late in the quarter, rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East led to higher diesel prices and increased macroeconomic uncertainty, which began to pressure retail demand. In response, we proactively paused our planned North American production increases at current levels to maintain balanced distributor inventory. While we expect these conditions to continue to impact both revenue and profitability in the second quarter of 2026, we remain cautiously optimistic that improving retail activity in the second half of the year will position us to achieve our full–year 2026 outlook."Ooltewah, TN Manufacturing Capacity Expansion
To support future growth, European needs and defense production commitments, Miller Industries previously announced the addition of a new 200,000+ sq ft facility at its Ooltewah headquarters site, at a cost of approximately $100 million. As the Company expects to continue its strong cash generation, Miller Industries anticipates funding the majority of this expansion through operating cash flow over the next several years.This expansion is intended to:1.  Increase Overall Production Capacity and EfficiencyWith distributor inventories returning to historically average levels, production volumes are expected to rise in the second half of 2026 and return to a steady level to meet retail deliveries.The new facility will significantly expand output capacity to meet growing domestic and international demand, reduce lead times, and reinforce Miller Industries' global leadership in heavy–duty recovery vehicle technology.In particular, the expansion will increase output capacity for heavy–duty recovery units, which remain the Company's largest global export.2.  Support European Demand Through U.S. Backfill, Integrated Capacity, and Regional ExpansionU.S. production will continue to serve as a critical backbone for European demand with the addition of Omars, the expansion of Jige's heavy–duty integration, and production enhancements at the Company's Boniface facility.The combination of Jige expansion, Omars integration, and Boniface growth supported by U.S. backfill capability will help to ensure production stability, improved lead times, and a fully integrated supply strategy globally.3.  Prepare for Higher-Volume Global Military ProductionWith more than $150 million in military commitments and additional global RFQs underway, the new facility will be capable of supporting higher-volume global defense–grade recovery vehicle production.Military programs production is scheduled to begin in 2027 and accelerate into 2028 and 2029, requiring enhanced capacity, specialized equipment, and advanced production flow capabilities.Return of Capital to Shareholders
The Company's Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.21. The dividend is payable June 8, 2026, to shareholders of record as of June 1, 2026, and represents the sixty-second consecutive quarter that Miller Industries has paid a dividend. Additionally, Miller Industries repurchased approximately $2.2 million of stock during the first quarter of 2026.Pricing Actions and Cost Environment Update
Miller Industries continues to experience ongoing pricing pressure driven by tariff impacts, regulatory and compliance requirements, and the elevated cost structure associated with manufacturing in the U.S. While the Company implemented a surcharge in April 2025 to partially offset these pressures, continued cost increases have exceeded the coverage provided by that surcharge.As a result, the Company announced that the existing surcharge will be rolled into its standard pricing structure. In addition, Miller Industries will implement a 3% price increase on all manufactured products invoiced after July 31, 2026. These actions are intended to better align pricing with the current cost environment while supporting continued investment in U.S. manufacturing, product quality, safety, and regulatory compliance.Management remains focused on disciplined cost control and operational efficiency initiatives; however, these pricing adjustments are necessary to help mitigate ongoing margin pressure and maintain the long–term sustainability of Miller Industries' domestic manufacturing operations.2026 Guidance and Production Outlook
The Company is re-affirming its previously issued revenue guidance of $850 million to $900 million for full year 2026 and expects earning per share to be generally in line with full year 2025 results.Given geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and resulting higher diesel prices, Miller Industries expects production volumes to be weighted toward the second half of 2026. While macroeconomic conditions remain dynamic, the Company remains optimistic that revenue will approach $250 million per quarter by the second half of 2026. Gross margins are expected to return to historical levels in the mid-13% range for full year 2026, with revenue mix shifting toward historical levels of bodies and chassis.The statements in the 2026 guidance and production outlook provided above are forward looking. Actual results may differ materially. See our cautionary note regarding "forward-looking statements" below.Conference Call

1 All comparisons are made to prior year period unless otherwise specified"We are extremely proud of how our team executed throughout 2025," said William G. Miller II, Chief Executive Officer. "From normalizing distributor inventory levels to strengthening our European footprint and preparing for major military programs, we enter 2026 with tremendous momentum."Miller continued, "Our manufacturing expansion in Ooltewah, combined with our European investments and disciplined financial approach, should position us to meet global demand, and continue delivering value to our shareholders for years to come."Ooltewah, TN Manufacturing Capacity Expansion
To support future growth, European needs and defense production commitments, Miller Industries announced that it is adding a new 200,000+ sq ft facility at its Ooltewah headquarters site, at a cost of approximately $100 million. As the Company expects to continue its strong cash generation, Miller Industries anticipates funding the majority of this expansion through operating cash flow over the next several years.This expansion is intended to:1.  Increase Overall Production Capacity and EfficiencyWith distributor inventories returning to historically average levels, production volumes are expected to rise meaningfully throughout the first and second quarters of 2026 and return to a steady level to meet retail deliveries.The new facility will significantly expand output capacity to meet growing domestic and international demand, reduce lead times, and reinforce Miller Industries' global leadership in heavy–duty recovery vehicle technology.In particular, the expansion will increase output capacity for heavy–duty recovery units, which remain the Company's largest global export.2.  Support European Demand Through U.S. Backfill, Integrated Capacity & Regional ExpansionU.S. production will continue to serve as a critical backbone for European demand with the addition of Omars, the expansion of Jige's heavy–duty integration, and production enhancements at the Company's Boniface facility.The combination of Jige expansion, Omars integration, and Boniface growth supported by U.S. backfill capability will help to ensure production stability, improved lead times, and a fully integrated supply strategy globally.3.  Prepare for Higher-Volume Global Military ProductionWith more than $150 million in military commitments secured and additional global RFQs underway, the new facility will be capable of supporting higher-volume global defense–grade recovery vehicle production.Military programs production is scheduled to begin in 2027 and accelerate into 2028 and 2029, requiring enhanced capacity, specialized equipment, and advanced production flow capabilities.Return of Capital to Shareholders
The Company's Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.21, a 5% increase from the $0.20 dividend declared in the prior year period. The dividend is payable March 23, 2026, to shareholders of record as of March 16, 2026, and represents the sixty-first consecutive quarter that Miller Industries has paid a dividend. Additionally, Miller Industries repurchased approximately $2.2 million of stock during the fourth quarter of 2025, and paid $15.1 million in total dividends and share repurchases in 2025 as part of its commitment to driving shareholder value creation.2026 Guidance and Production Outlook
The Company expects to generate $850 million to $900 million in revenue for the full year 2026.With distributor inventories returning to historical average levels during 2025, Miller Industries expects 2026 production volumes to begin at approximately fourth quarter 2025 levels, with manufacturing activity increasing throughout the first and second quarters.  Production volumes are expected to meet retail activity levels in the third and fourth quarter of 2026, with revenue approaching $250 million per quarter by the second half of 2026.  As product shifts to a historical percentage of manufactured product and chassis, gross margins are expected to return to historical levels in the mid–13% range for the full year of 2026.The statements in the 2026 guidance and production outlook provided above are forward looking. Actual results may differ materially. See our cautionary note regarding "forward-looking statements" below.Conference Call

Original: MILLER INDUSTRIES TO ANNOUNCE FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2025 RESULTS ON WEDNESDAY MARCH 4, 2026

Added to position late yesterday at $17.92. MLR stock has been very weak of late despite being in good financial condition and trying to meet increasing demand. Dividend is now up to 3.59% at yesterday's close of $17.82. Will add more on further weakness.

econ1: Yesterday's close was $17.49. MLR is a stock I do not hold, but am giving serious consideration to right now. The company manufactures vehicle towing and recovery equipment with manufacturing plants in the US, France & UK. How it stacks up against my criteria:

(1) Small Cap - Market cap is only a little over $200M.
(2) Low Debt - No long term debt, 1.94 quick ratio, 40.16 X interest coverage.
(3) Sustainable Products - I don't see why a need for wrecking and towing equipment should dry up and blow away, or why a competitor is likely to come up with dramatically improved versions.
(4) Little Government Influence - MLR sells some product to governments, but I don't believe the industry is especially over-regulated or a political target relative to other industries.
(5) Low or Reasonable PE and PEG - 18.45 PE end of trading yesterday (although stock is up significantly today, 15.7% YOY revenue growth and 16.8% YOY net income growth last reported Q (2nd Q 2014). So PE and PEG both reasonable, but somewhat higher than I like.
(6) Decent & Growing Dividends - 3.43% this morning before stock's rise. Dividend last raised by 7.1% in March 2014. I'd consider a repeat likely in March 2015, so I would be happy with both the current dividend and prospects for an increase.
(7) Positive Recent Information - In most recent quarterly report (8-6-14) management talks about a challenging, but improving economic environment, increased order flow and backlog, and actively bidding on attractive global projects.

The company reports again very soon. Like possibly next week. The chart looks positive as today the stock is breaking higher after failing to set a new low versus early Oct. However, the price is still under the 200 day moving average.

mlr looks like a buy

I may ride over and check out Miller and see
what's up with the company...

from Motley Fool article..Bargain Bin..Sept. 6, 2007

Miller's time?
For value investors, nothing's sweeter than when the shares of an industry-leading business suffer a nasty, seemingly unwarranted haircut. While a plummeting stock in itself doesn't automatically warrant a buy, it's often a pretty profitable place to start looking. On Aug. 7, Miller Industries, a small-cap producer of towing equipment, piqued the interest of many investors in our community when its stock spiraled down by a heartbreaking 25%.

The shares have yet to recover -- in fact, it's down another 5% since -- but according to several CAPS Fools, it's simply a matter of time before Miller bounces back. Let's take a closer look, shall we?

Despite a market cap of $205 million and virtually nonexistent analyst coverage, Miller happens to be the world's largest producer of vehicle towing and recovery equipment. Naturally, this doesn't exactly sound like the sexiest business to be in, but a quick glance at Miller's financials shows that it really isn't a bad business to be in, either. In each of the past three years, Miller has generated returns on capital of roughly 20%, and it has grown cash flow from operations at a compounded rate of 49% over that period.

Of course, it's the future that counts with investing, which is exactly why Mr. Market has recently soured on the stock. Though Miller reported second-quarter revenue and pre-tax income growth of 18.4% and 20.4%, respectively, Co-CEO Jeffrey Badgley depressed investors by forecasting lower sales for the rest of 2007. Badgley cited a lack of additional follow-on orders and general concerns about the economy as the primary reasons for his bearishness.

Sure, the short-term prospects for Miller aren't exceptionally bright, but for investors willing to take a longer-term horizon, there are a few good reasons why Miller should at least make it to the watch list.

For one thing, Chairman and Co-CEO William G. Miller continues to own roughly 12% of the company -- something we Fools always like to see. More importantly, though, is that MLR has a rock-solid balance sheet with a measly debt-to-equity ratio of 5.1%.

Betting on a turnaround is always a tricky proposition, but at the very least, you'd like to see a history of strong financial performance, heavy insider ownership, and a solid financial position to help survive any extended slowdown -- all of which are characteristics that Miller Industries exhibits.
