    CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Aug. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Miller Industries, Inc. (NYSE:MLR) ("Miller Industries" or the "Company") today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

    For the second quarter of 2024, net sales were $371.5 million, an increase of 23.7%, compared to $300.3 million for the second quarter of 2023. The year over year growth was predominantly due to consistent demand from customers, increased production volume and continued elevated OEM chassis deliveries in the quarter. We anticipate that chassis deliveries will normalize during the second half of the year.

    Gross profit for the second quarter of 2024 was $51.1 million, or 13.8% of net sales, compared to $39.9 million, or 13.3% of net sales, for the second quarter of 2023. The year over year increase in gross margin was largely driven by higher production and delivery volumes.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses were $22.8 million, or 6.1% of net sales, compared to $19.5 million, or 6.5% of net sales, in the prior year period.

    Net income in the second quarter of 2024 was $20.5 million, or $1.78 per diluted share, an increase of 37.5% and 37.7% respectively compared to net income of $14.9 million, or $1.29 per diluted share, in the prior year period.

    The Company also announced that its Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.19 per share, payable September 16, 2024, to shareholders of record at the close of business on September 9, 2024, the fifty-fifth consecutive quarter that the Company has paid a dividend.

    "During the second quarter we continued to deliver strong operating results, capping off a record first half for Miller Industries," said William G. Miller, II, Chief Executive Officer of the Company. "Our continued strong topline performance underscores the success of our strategic initiatives, and when coupled with our improved production and delivery levels, also contributed to improved margins. We continue to maintain current production levels to decrease our backlog to more historical levels. This will allow us to better accommodate our distributors with increased flexibility and to deliver finished products to retail customers with a more acceptable lead time. Our steady order entry rate demonstrates the strength of our salesforce and distribution network, and the competitive advantages our products provide to our customers.  Moving into the second half of the year, we are acutely focused on shifting product from our distributors to our end users, to ensure that the revenue we are generating has a strong cash conversion rate. As our first half results have surpassed our initial expectations, we now expect to achieve low double-digit revenue growth for the full year of 2024, in line with our historical annual growth rate, as opposed to the high single-digit growth we anticipated two quarters ago."

    Mr. Miller, II, concluded, "As we look ahead, and as we mentioned last quarter, we continue to analyze the need for future investments in our manufacturing capabilities, specifically our production capacity. As always, we will also prioritize returning capital to our shareholders through our industry leading dividend and the $25 million share repurchase program we announced in April."
