• Net sales increased $8.3 million, or 7.5%, to $119.0 million, compared to $110.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2019, driven primarily by 11.8% growth in Mobile Solutions net sales and a 0.8% increase in Power Solutions net sales.
• GAAP operating loss was reduced by 90.4% to $1.0 million from an operating loss of $10.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2019, driven by higher sales volume, improved gross margin, and lower SG&A expenses.
• Net loss from continuing operations increased to $15.5 million from a loss from continuing operations of $9.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2019, due mainly to the discontinuation of hedge accounting related to an interest rate swap subsequent to the prepayment of debt, resulting in an unrealized loss of $14.8 million within the quarter.

NN, Inc. President and CEO Warren Veltman said, "We made strong progress in the fourth quarter toward driving improved operating results, which was enabled in part by the continued recovery in customer demand across our end markets, as we saw sequential increases in activity from the pandemic-related lows in the second quarter. To finish the year, we posted both sequential and year-over-year growth in revenues and solid improvements in profitability on an adjusted basis, which highlight the strong potential of our business."
