Overview NN, Inc., a Delaware corporation, is a diversified industrial company that combines advanced engineering and production capabilities with in-depth materials science expertise to design and manufacture high-precision components and assemblies for a variety of end markets on a global basis. As used in this Quarterly Report, the terms “NN,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us” refer to NN, Inc. and its subsidiaries. Except for per share data, percentages, or as otherwise indicated, all dollar amounts and share counts presented in the tables in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are in thousands. Private Placement On June 30, 2026, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional investors (the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell and issue to the Purchasers 24,509,804 shares (the “Shares”) of our common stock in a private placement transaction (the “Private Placement”). The purchase price per share of common stock in the Private Placement was $3.06 per share (the “Purchase Price”). The closing of the Private Placement occurred on July 2, 2026 (the “Closing”). We received total net proceeds from the Private Placement of $70.4 million, after deducting offering expenses paid by the Company. Series D Perpetual Preferred Stock Redemption and Exchange On August 5, 2026, we entered into an Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with NHTV Holdings, LP (the “Holder”), the holder of the Series D Preferred Stock issued pursuant to the Certificate of Designation of Series D Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designation”). Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, on August 5, 2026, we exchanged 9,850 shares of Series D Preferred Stock for 5,500,000 newly issued shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock” and the transaction, the “Exchange”). The Exchange was conditioned upon the concurrent consummation of the Redemption (defined below). In addition, pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Holder agreed to reduce (a) the Cash Dividend Rate (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) to an amount equal to 10.0% per annum of the then current Liquidation Preference (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) and (b) the Preference Accrual Rate (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) to an amount equal to 10.0% per annum of the then current Liquidation Preference, in each case through August 5, 2027. After August 5, 2027, the Cash Dividend Rate and the Preference Accrual Rate will revert to the amounts as calculated in accordance with the Certificate of Designation. The Holder also agreed that in the event we redeem in full for cash all of the then-outstanding Series D Preferred Stock from the Holder in accordance with the Certificate of Designation and pay the Holder the aggregate Redemption Price (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) otherwise payable in respect thereof on or before December 31, 23 Table of Contents 2026 (the “Final Redemption”), the aggregate Redemption Price payable by us in respect of the Final Redemption Price will be reduced by $5.0 million. On August 5, 2026, the Company redeemed 36,750 shares of Series D Preferred Stock pursuant to the optional redemption provision of the Certificate of Designation for an aggregate redemption price of $70.0 million (the “Redemption”). The Redemption was conditioned upon the concurrent consummation of the Exchange. Following the Exchange and the Redemption, on August 5, 2026, 18,400 shares of Series D Preferred Stock remained outstanding with an aggregate Liquidation Preference of $35.0 million. Factors That May Influence Results of Operations We believe there are several important factors that have influenced, and we expect will continue to influence, our results of operations. Macroeconomic Conditions We continue to monitor the ongoing impacts of current macroeconomic and geopolitical events, including changing conditions from global trade negotiations and tariffs, inflationary cost pressures on metal, raw materials, and other manufacturing inputs, elevated interest rates, supply chain disruptions, and ongoing military conflicts. Global trade negotiations continue to create volatility in the marketplace. New trade restrictions and/or increases in tariffs could have a material impact on our business, financial condition, or results of operations by increasing our input costs and decreasing demand, although the nature of those trade restrictions and tariffs remains unclear. Additionally, tariffs may increase the risk for elevated inflation more generally, which may drive an increase in other input costs and have made it more difficult to procure precious metals. In particular, prices for commodities and certain metals, including, but not limited to, steel, copper, and precious metals, have recently shown increased volatility. Significant price increases for these commodities and precious metals have, and could continue to have, an adverse effect on our liquidity and operating profits if we cannot timely mitigate the price increases by successfully sourcing lower cost commodities or precious metals or by passing the increased costs on to customers. We cannot predict the future impact on our end-markets or input costs, including tariffs and their potential implications and ramifications, nor our ability to recover all cost increases, including the cost of raw materials, through pricing or the timing of such recoveries. Footprint Optimization During the second half of 2024, we identified two manufacturing facilities to close due to volume rationalization which have reduced costs and improved operational efficiency. During the first quarter of 2025, we ceased production activities at our Mobile Solutions plants in Juarez, Mexico and Dowagiac, Michigan. In addition, we implemented operational and cost optimization actions to reduce indirect and overhead costs. We continue to evaluate our global footprint, which may result in further consolidation actions to further improve our overall cost structure. 24 Table of Contents Results of Operations Three Months Ended June 30, 2026 compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 Consolidated Results Three Months Ended June 30, 2026 2025 $ Change Net sales $ 128,741 $ 107,921 $ 20,820 Cost of sales (exclusive of depreciation and amortization shown separately below) 106,863 89,699 17,164 Selling, general, and administrative expense 12,570 12,095 475 Depreciation and amortization 9,344 8,918 426 Other operating income, net (1,041) (1,327) 286 Income (loss) from operations 1,005 (1,464) 2,469 Interest expense 5,720 5,657 63 Loss on extinguishment of debt — 3,007 (3,007) Other income, net (217) (619) 402 Loss before provision for income taxes and share of net income from joint venture (4,498) (9,509) 5,011 Provision for income taxes (189) (774) 585 Share of net income from joint venture 2,420 2,181 239 Net loss $ (2,267) $ (8,102) $ 5,835 Net Sales. Net sales increased by $20.8 million, or 19.3%, during the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to higher selling prices, reflecting the pass-through of increased raw material costs to customers, higher volumes, and favorable foreign exchange effects. Cost of Sales. Cost of sales increased by $17.2 million, or 19.1%, during the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to raw material price increases, higher volumes, unfavorable plant mix, and unfavorable foreign exchange effects. These increases are partially offset by rationalization efforts taken in 2025 providing benefits in the current year. Selling, General, and Administrative Expense. Selling, general, and administrative expense increased by $0.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to higher compensation costs and unfavorable foreign exchange effects. Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased by $0.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to the impact of capital expenditures placed in service in the current and prior year. Interest Expense. Interest expense increased by $0.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to an increase in average debt balances.

Loss on extinguishment of debt was $3.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025 due to the termination of the 2021 Term Loan Facility. No debt extinguishment has occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2026. Other Income, Net. Other income, net decreased by $0.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to lower warrant revaluation impacts. 25 Table of Contents Provision for Income Taxes. Our effective tax rate was (4.2)% for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to (8.1)% for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The rate for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was unfavorably impacted due to the accrual of tax on non-permanently reinvested unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries and by the limitation of the amount of tax benefit recorded for losses in certain jurisdictions where we believe it is more likely than not that a future tax benefit may not be realized. Share of Net Income from Joint Venture. Share of net income from the Wuxi Weifu Autocam Precision Machinery Company, Ltd. joint venture (the “JV”) increased during the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. The JV, in which we own a 49% investment, recognized net sales of $38.8 million and $31.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased by $0.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to higher average debt balances offset by lower amortization of debt issuance costs and discounts.

The JV, in which we own a 49% investment, recognized net sales of $71.0 million and $64.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Results by Segment MOBILE SOLUTIONS Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 2025 $ Change Net sales $ 129,703 $ 125,635 $ 4,068 Loss from operations $ (4,022) $ (3,797) $ (225) Net sales increased by $4.1 million, or 3.2%, during the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to favorable foreign currency effects, higher selling prices reflecting the pass-through of increased raw material costs to customers, and higher sales volumes, partially offset by the impact of rationalization actions taken in 2025 to improve profitability. Loss from operations increased by $0.2 million or 5.9% during the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily related to unfavorable raw material price increases and an unfavorable plant mix. These were partially offset by lower costs due to plant rationalization benefits and favorable foreign exchange effects. POWER SOLUTIONS Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 2025 $ Change Net sales $ 117,693 $ 88,149 $ 29,544 Income from operations $ 15,346 $ 8,805 $ 6,541 Net sales increased by $29.5 million, or 33.5%, during the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to higher selling prices, reflecting the pass-through of increased raw material costs to customers and higher volumes. Income from operations increased by $6.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to higher selling prices, improved product mix, and higher volumes. Sources and Uses of Cash December 31, 2025 to June 30, 2026 Cash Flows Cash provided by operations was $11.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to cash used in operations of $4.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The favorable change is primarily due to a $12.7 million collection of a tax refund claim and other favorable operating impacts. Cash used in investing activities was $8.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared with $7.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The higher use of cash is primarily due to additional purchases of property, plant and equipment. Cash provided by financing activities decreased by $1.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared with the same period in 2025. The decrease is primarily due to net repayments made against our asset backed credit facilities, offset by the $10.0 million of proceeds from the Delayed Draw Term Loan. 28 Table of Contents Liquidity and Capital Resources Overview As of June 30, 2026, our primary sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents, availability under our ABL Facility, and cash flows from operating activities. On July 2, 2026, we received net proceeds of approximately $70.4 million from the closing of the Private Placement. On August 5, 2026, we completed the Redemption utilizing cash received in the Private Placement and completed the Exchange. We believe that the execution of these transactions will help support our long-term liquidity. Based on our current cash position, anticipated cash flows from operating activities, and anticipated borrowing capacity under the ABL Facility, we believe we will have sufficient liquidity to fund our operations, capital expenditures, and debt service requirements for the next 12 months. Our ability to meet these requirements is subject to the factors described in Item 1A, "Risk Factors," in our 2025 Annual Report, including the level and timing of future cash flows, prevailing economic conditions, and restrictions under our credit agreements. As of June 30, 2026, we had total available liquidity of: June 30, 2026 Cash & Cash Equivalents $ 16,450 Undrawn Commitments 35,342 Total Availability $ 51,792 Credit Facilities The debt and credit facilities descriptions in Note 8 are incorporated in this section by reference. We are currently in compliance with all covenants as of June 30, 2026. Working Capital Management We manage our liquidity and working capital to fund our operations, meet debt service obligations, finance capital expenditures and fund other business initiatives. The cost of raw materials, primarily for steel, copper and precious metals is subject to price volatility due to tariffs, supply chain constraints and market supply and demand. A significant increase in the prices we pay for raw materials may cause our working capital needs to increase, which could reduce our liquidity and borrowing availability. Accounts Receivable Sales Programs We participate in programs established by our customers and financial institutions which allow us to sell certain receivables from customers on a non-recourse basis to a third-party financial institution. In exchange, we receive payment on the receivables, less a discount, sooner than under the customary credit terms we have extended to customers. These programs allow us to improve working capital and cash flows at the same or lower interest rates as available on our ABL Facility. Our participation in these programs is based on our specific cash needs throughout the year, the discount charged to receive payment earlier, the length of the payment terms with our customers, as well being subject to limits in our ABL Facility and Term Loan Facility agreements. Other Receivables In 2021, we filed a refund claim with the IRS as a result of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). In May 2026, we received a refund check of $12.7 million in full payment of our claim, including interest. Seasonality and Fluctuation in Quarterly Results General economic conditions impact our business and financial results, and certain businesses experience seasonal and other trends related to the industries and end markets that they serve. For example, European sales are often weaker in the summer months as customers slow production, and sales to original equipment manufacturers are often stronger immediately preceding and following the launch of new products. However, as a whole, we are not materially impacted by seasonality. Critical Accounting Estimates Our significant accounting policies, including the assumptions and judgments underlying them, are disclosed in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2025 Annual Report. Our most critical accounting estimates are discussed in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the 2025 Annual Report. There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies or critical accounting estimates during the six months ended June 30, 2026. 29 Table of Contents
