Insights

Financial Analyst

Q3 results show significant operational challenges with $171.8M revenue, down 15.3% YoY and concerning margins with adjusted EBITDA declining 64.8% to $4.3M. The shift to operating loss and negative EPS signals serious headwinds. The revised 2024 guidance reduction, with adjusted EBITDA now projected at $20-25M versus previous $28-36M, reflects ongoing market pressures.

Key concerns include operational inefficiencies, weaker customer demand across segments and margin compression. However, liquidity remains solid with $177.2M available. Strategic portfolio actions and debt reduction from asset sales could improve long-term positioning, but near-term execution risks remain high amid market softness in core segments.

Market Research Analyst

Market conditions present significant challenges across all segments. Vehicle Solutions saw 15.6% revenue decline, while Electrical Systems dropped 19.5%, reflecting broader industry weakness. The projected 15-20% decline in global agriculture market demand and 10-15% drop in construction market demand for 2024 suggests continued pressure ahead.

North American Class 8 truck builds forecast of 316,000 units for 2024, down from 340,247 in 2023, indicates a cooling commercial vehicle market. The combination of market headwinds and internal restructuring creates a challenging environment for near-term recovery.

Third quarter sales of $172 million, EPS of $(0.03), Adjusted EBITDA of $4.3 million
Makes progress on strategic portfolio actions
Provides updated guidance for full year 2024

NEW ALBANY, Ohio, Nov. 04, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CVG (NASDAQ: CVGI), a diversified industrial products and services company, today announced financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2024.

As a result of strategic portfolio actions, results from the Cab Structures and Industrial Automation businesses have been reclassified to discontinued operations for current and prior periods. The results and comparisons presented below reflect continuing operations unless otherwise noted.

Third Quarter 2024 Highlights (Results from Continuing Operations; compared with prior year, where comparisons are noted)

• Revenues of $171.8 million, down 15.3%, due primarily to a global softening in customer demand.
• Operating loss of $1.1 million, adjusted operating loss of $0.4 million, down compared to operating income and adjusted operating income of $8.9 million. The decrease in operating income was driven primarily by lower sales volumes and operational inefficiencies.
• New business wins in the quarter of approximately $18 million when fully ramped, bringing the year-to-date total to $95 million; these wins were concentrated in our Electrical Systems segment, and include meaningful wins in our Vehicle Solutions segment.
• Net loss from continuing operations of $0.9 million, or $(0.03) per diluted share and adjusted net loss of $0.4 million, or $(0.01) per diluted share, compared to net income of $4.7 million, or $0.14 per diluted share and adjusted net income of $4.7 million, or $0.14 per diluted share.
• Adjusted EBITDA of $4.3 million, down 64.8%, with an adjusted EBITDA margin of 2.5%, down from 6.0%.
  

James Ray, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Since taking over the CEO role eleven months ago, we have been tirelessly focused on reshaping the CVG operating model to create a more streamlined, lower cost, and customer-focused company. Our CVG team has been working diligently to divest non-strategic portfolio assets like Cab Structures and Industrial Automation, execute new program launches in Vehicle Solutions, initiate restructuring actions, pay down debt, and expand our global footprint in critical regions of Mexico and Morocco. Market conditions have made this transformation process even more difficult this year, as weaker customer demand and shifting production schedules have created operational and supply chain challenges. As a result of both market conditions and our portfolio actions, we have experienced incremental operational inefficiencies this year affecting our financial performance, especially during the third quarter. We are not happy with our performance and have taken significant steps to change the forward direction with expected performance improvement.”

Mr. Ray continued, “In addition to portfolio and restructuring actions, we’ve made senior management changes to drive growth in our Electrical Systems business and improve the efficiency of our supply chain and manufacturing operations while addressing structural costs and right sizing the company. This is an inflection point for CVG with many key actions completed this year. Despite softer end markets and slower new program ramps, we expect the actions we are taking today to help us reshape the company, driving incremental profitability with minimal added costs when customers’ demand improves. We believe this intense focus on operational excellence will make CVG more resilient and position us for margin expansion and growth with a commitment to value creation.”

Andy Cheung, Chief Financial Officer, added, “Despite a challenging third quarter due to both external market conditions and internal operational issues, we successfully concluded multiple significant portfolio moves. The majority of proceeds from these actions were used to pay down debt. Executing these transactions led to short-term production inefficiencies that weighed on results during the quarter. We are currently addressing these operational issues to improve manufacturing capabilities and future competitiveness. With a more focused portfolio, we see potential to further streamline our enterprise cost structure. Ultimately, we expect these strategic actions will reposition our business for growth and margin expansion in 2025 and beyond.”

Consolidated Results from Continuing Operations

Third Quarter 2024 Results

• Third quarter 2024 revenues were $171.8 million, compared to $202.9 million in the prior year period, a decrease of 15.3%. The overall decrease in revenues was due to lower sales as a result of a softening in customer demand in our Vehicle Solutions and Electrical Systems segments.
• Operating loss in the third quarter 2024 was $1.1 million compared to operating income of $8.9 million in the prior year period. The decrease in operating income was attributable to the impact of lower sales volumes, unfavorable mix, operational inefficiencies and increased restructuring charges. Third quarter 2024 adjusted operating loss was $0.4 million, compared to adjusted operating income of $8.9 million in the prior year period.
• Interest associated with debt and other expenses was $2.4 million and $2.5 million for the third quarter 2024 and 2023, respectively.
• Net loss from continuing operations was $0.9 million, or $(0.03) per share, for the third quarter 2024 compared to net income of $4.7 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, in the prior year period. Third quarter 2024 adjusted net loss was $0.4 million, or $(0.01) per share, compared to adjusted net income of $4.7 million, or $0.14 per diluted share.

On September 30, 2024, the Company had $14.0 million of outstanding borrowings on its U.S. revolving credit facility and no outstanding borrowings on its China credit facility, $30.9 million of cash and $146.3 million of availability from the credit facilities, resulting in total liquidity of $177.2 million.

Third Quarter 2024 Segment Results

Vehicle Solutions Segment

• Revenues were $97.3 million compared to $115.2 million for the prior year period, a decrease of 15.6%, due to lower sales volume as a result of decreased customer demand and the wind-down of certain programs.
• Operating income was $5.1 million, compared to $8.3 million in the prior year period, a decrease of 37.9%, primarily attributable to lower customer demand, operational remediation investments, and increased freight costs, partially offset by lower SG&A expenses due to the gain on the sale of a building of $3.5 million. Third quarter 2024 adjusted operating income was $3.8 million compared to $8.3 million in the prior year period.

   Electrical Systems Segment

• Revenues were $43.4 million compared to $53.9 million in the prior year period, a decrease of 19.5%, primarily due to a global softening in the Construction & Agriculture end-markets and the phase out of certain lower margin business.
• Operating loss was $0.4 million compared to operating income of $5.9 million in the prior year period, a decrease of 106.6%. The decrease in operating income was primarily attributable to lower sales volumes, restructuring activities, and unfavorable foreign exchange. Third quarter 2024 adjusted operating income was $0.9 million compared to $5.9 million in the prior year period.

Aftermarket & Accessories Segment

• Revenues were $31.1 million compared to $33.8 million in the prior year period, a decrease of 8.0%, primarily as a result of lower sales volume due to a reduction of backlog in the prior period as well as decreased customer demand.
• Operating income was $3.1 million compared to $4.3 million in the prior year period, a decrease of 27.0%. The decrease in operating income was primarily attributable to lower sales volumes, operational inefficiencies and restructuring activities. Third quarter 2024 adjusted operating income was $3.9 million compared to $4.3 million in the prior year period.

Outlook

CVG issued the following outlook for the full year 2024 which reflects both market developments and strategic portfolio actions undertaken:

Metric	Prior 2024 Outlook (1)	Revised 2024 Outlook (1)
Net Sales	$730- $780	$710 - $740
Adjusted EBITDA	$28 - $36	$20 - $25

⁽¹⁾ This outlook excludes any contribution from CVG’s Cab Structures or Industrial Automation businesses in 2024. On October 1, 2024, CVG closed the previously announced sale of the Cab Structures business, and received the final installment of the purchase price. Separately, CVG closed the sale of the Industrial Automation business on October 30, 2024.

This outlook reflects, among others, current industry forecasts for North America Class 8 truck builds. According to ACT Research, 2024 North American Class 8 truck production levels are expected to be at 316,000 units. The 2023 actual Class 8 truck builds according to the ACT Research was 340,247 units.

Based on industry data, we continue to project global agriculture market demand for our customers' products to be down 15% to 20% and construction market demand to be down 10% to 15% in 2024.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

This earnings release contains financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). In general, the non-GAAP measures exclude items that (i) management believes reflect the Company’s multi-year corporate activities; or (ii) relate to activities or actions that may have occurred over multiple or in prior periods without predictable trends. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to evaluate the Company’s performance, engage in financial and operational planning and to determine incentive compensation.

Management provides these non-GAAP financial measures to investors as supplemental metrics to assist readers in assessing the effects of items and events on the Company’s financial and operating results and in comparing the Company’s performance to that of its competitors and to comparable reporting periods. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.

The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations to those financial statements set forth above should be carefully evaluated.
