NN, Inc. increased its 2026 sales and Adjusted EBITDA guidance on the back of strong growth in higher-margin end markets like Data Center, Defense and Medical.
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
NN, Inc. (NNBR) raised its full-year 2026 guidance for both Net Sales and Adjusted EBITDA. The company now targets 2026 Net Sales of $470–$490 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $58–$68 million, with midpoints of $480 million and $63 million, representing 14% and 29% increases versus 2025, respectively.

NN highlights momentum in its five growth pillars, especially Data Center, Electric Grid, Defense & Electronics, and Medical, supported by multi-year growth and cost-out programs and higher-margin mix. For the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2026, Net Sales were $455.8 million and non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA was $57.3 million with a 12.6% margin, although the company still reported a GAAP net loss of $28.3 million over the same period.

6 terms
Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Management’s updated guidance for 2026 Adjusted EBITDA at midpoint is $63 million"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
non-GAAP financial measures financial
"This press release contains certain financial measures not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP"
Non-GAAP financial measures are numbers companies use to show their financial performance that exclude certain expenses or income. They help investors see how the company might perform without one-time costs or other unusual items, giving a different perspective from official reports. However, since they can be adjusted, they don’t always tell the full story and should be looked at alongside standard financial figures.
trailing twelve months financial
"TTM sales = Trailing Twelve Months actuals, NTM = Next Twelve Months run-rate"
Trailing twelve months is a rolling measure of a company’s financial performance that adds together the most recent four quarters of results to show how the business has done over the last 12 months, rather than a fixed fiscal year. Investors use it like checking a car’s last 12 months of fuel use to see current efficiency — it highlights recent trends, evens out seasonal swings, and provides an up-to-date basis for comparing and valuing companies.
CAGR financial
"Sales growth – continue growing at 9% CAGR or $50M annual net sales growth"
Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) measures the average yearly growth of an investment, revenue, or other metric over a multi-year period as if it had grown at a steady rate each year. Think of it like the constant speed that would take you from the starting value to the ending value over the same time—useful because it smooths out ups and downs and lets investors compare different assets or performance periods on an even footing.
Data Center technical
"Fast-growing market and business, demanding applications for many NN products"
A data center is a secure facility that houses large numbers of computers, storage devices and networking gear that run, store and move digital information for businesses and online services. Investors treat data centers like modern warehouses: their occupancy, energy efficiency, connectivity and long-term service contracts drive steady revenue and capital needs, so changes in demand or costs can directly affect profitability and growth prospects.
liquid cooling technical
"Entered Data Center market for liquid cooling system"
Liquid cooling is a method that uses a flowing liquid—like water or a special coolant—to carry heat away from electronic components, similar to how a car radiator moves heat away from an engine. For investors, it matters because it can lower energy and maintenance costs, enable higher-performance computing, reduce the footprint of data centers, and support sustainability targets, all of which can affect a company’s operating margins and capital spending needs.

20 Appendix
21 This presentation contains certain financial measures not presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), including adjusted gross margin, adjusted gross margin %, adjusted income from operations, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin % (collectively, the "non-GAAP financial measures"). These non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the most directly comparable GAAP measures, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures, together with the comparable GAAP measures, to evaluate the Company's operating performance and underlying business trends across periods on a consistent basis, and to assist in operational and financial decision-making, including with respect to internal budgeting and resource allocation. Reconciliations of each non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP measure are set forth in the tables accompanying this presentation. A reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is not provided because the Company cannot reasonably predict certain items necessary for such reconciliation without unreasonable efforts.
