• Improved Net Loss and Operating Performance

  For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, NN Inc. reported a net loss of $34.004 million, an improvement from a $38.273 million net loss in 2024. Loss from operations also improved to $18.915 million from $27.548 million in the prior year, despite a 9.1% decrease in net sales to $422.207 million.

• High Leverage and Costly Debt Refinancing

  The company's total indebtedness increased to $159.5 million as of December 31, 2025. A new $128.0 million senior secured Term Loan Facility was entered into on April 16, 2025, with an interest rate of 13.57% (including PIK interest) as of year-end 2025. The proceeds were used to repay the prior term loan.

• Increasing Preferred Stock Obligations

  The carrying value of Series D Perpetual Preferred Stock increased to $112.4 million, including $65.7 million of accumulated unpaid and deemed dividends. The dividend rate on this preferred stock will increase by 2.5% annually after March 22, 2026, with cash dividends becoming mandatory from September 30, 2027.

• Delayed Draw Term Loan Fully Utilized Post-Year End

  As a subsequent event, the company fully drew the remaining $10.0 million delayed draw term loan commitment on January 29, 2026, further increasing its outstanding debt. This also resulted in an additional 0.50% increase in the applicable margin for all Term Loans.

This 10-K filing provides a comprehensive overview of NN Inc.'s financial performance and capital structure for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, following a concurrent 8-K that reported adjusted results. While the company reported an improved net loss and operating loss, it remains highly leveraged with substantial debt and preferred stock obligations. The refinancing of its term loan at a high interest rate and the increasing dividend rate on its Series D Preferred Stock pose significant financial challenges and future cash demands. Investors should closely monitor the company's ability to manage its debt, generate sufficient cash flow, and continue its operational transformation amidst these high-cost financing arrangements.
