Insights

Stoneridge's Q2 2024 results demonstrate significant operational improvements, despite challenging market conditions. The company reported $237.1 million in sales, with a gross profit of $53.7 million (22.7% of sales), representing a substantial 250 basis point increase from Q1 2024. Adjusted operating income reached $5.4 million (2.3% of sales), up 210 basis points from the previous quarter.

Key financial highlights include:

  • Adjusted EBITDA of $16.1 million (6.8% of sales), a remarkable 410 basis point improvement from Q1 2024
  • Earnings per share of $0.10, with adjusted EPS at $0.17
  • A favorable impact of approximately $2.3 million from non-operating foreign currency

However, the company has revised its full-year 2024 guidance, reducing the revenue midpoint by $45 million to $955 million. This adjustment reflects updated FX rates (~$12 million impact), revised OEM production volumes (~$18 million impact) and potential volatility in non-OEM and customer demand-based products (~$15 million impact).

Despite the revenue reduction, Stoneridge has increased its gross margin midpoint guidance by 50 basis points, showcasing confidence in continued material cost improvement and operational excellence. The company now expects adjusted EBITDA of $58 million to $64 million (6.2% to 6.6% of sales) and adjusted EPS of $0.18 to $0.28.

The company's focus on reducing material costs and controlling operating expenses has yielded positive results, but challenges remain in navigating market volatility and ramping up new program launches. Stoneridge's robust backlog and strategic focus on advanced technologies position it well for long-term growth, but short-term headwinds may impact investor sentiment.

Stoneridge's Q2 2024 results reflect the complex dynamics of the automotive and commercial vehicle markets. The company's Electronics segment, which accounts for the largest share of revenue, saw a 6.4% decrease in sales compared to Q2 2023. This decline was primarily driven by lower sales in both European and North American commercial vehicle markets, highlighting the cyclical nature of these sectors.

However, it's important to note the significant margin improvements across segments:

  • Electronics: Adjusted operating margin improved by 230 basis points year-over-year, reaching 7.6%
  • Control Devices: Despite a 13.1% sales decrease, operating margin only declined by 130 basis points to 4.6%

The launch of MirrorEye OEM systems with Volvo in Europe and Peterbilt in North America marks a significant milestone for Stoneridge. These camera-monitor systems, replacing traditional mirrors, represent a shift towards advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) in commercial vehicles. The reported order for 1,500 Volvo vehicles equipped with MirrorEye underscores the potential for this technology.

Stoneridge's partnership with Volvo Bus to provide AI-based fuel advice systems aligns with the industry trend towards connected and intelligent vehicle solutions. This move into data services, software and AI applications could open new revenue streams and differentiate Stoneridge in a competitive market.

While the company faces challenges from market volatility and program ramp-ups, its focus on technology innovation and operational efficiency positions it well for the ongoing transformation in the automotive and commercial vehicle industries. The key for Stoneridge will be successfully executing its program launches and capitalizing on the growing demand for advanced vehicle technologies.

Stoneridge's Q2 2024 results highlight significant improvements in supply chain management and operational efficiency. The company's focus on material cost reduction and operational excellence has yielded impressive results, driving a 250 basis point improvement in gross margin and a 210 basis point improvement in adjusted operating margin compared to Q1 2024.

Key supply chain insights include:

  • Continued material cost reductions across segments, contributing to margin improvements
  • Reduced quality-related costs, indicating enhanced production processes and supplier management
  • Inventory reduction of $9.0 million in the first half of 2024, with expectations for further reductions throughout the year
  • Improved operational execution in the Control Devices segment, contributing to margin expansion

The company's efforts to optimize its supply chain are particularly noteworthy given the challenging global environment. By focusing on inventory reduction and material cost improvements, Stoneridge is not only enhancing its financial performance but also improving its resilience to market volatility.

However, Stoneridge faces ongoing challenges:

  • Potential volatility in non-OEM and customer demand-based products, which could impact inventory management
  • The need to balance inventory reduction with ensuring sufficient stock for new program launches and potential demand surges
  • Managing the impact of foreign exchange rates on its global supply chain

The company's ability to continue improving its supply chain efficiency while successfully ramping up new programs like MirrorEye will be important for achieving its updated 2024 guidance. Stoneridge's focus on both operational performance and working capital improvement, particularly in inventory management, demonstrates a comprehensive approach to supply chain optimization that could serve as a model for other automotive suppliers navigating similar challenges.

NOVI, Mich., July 31, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Stoneridge, Inc. (NYSE: SRI) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024, with sales of $237.1 million and earnings per share of $0.10. Adjusted EPS was $0.17.

For the second quarter of 2024, Stoneridge reported gross profit of $53.7 million (22.7% of sales), an increase of 250 basis points relative to the first quarter of 2024. Operating income of $3.4 million resulted in adjusted operating income of $5.4 million (2.3% of sales), an increase of 210 basis points relative to the first quarter of 2024.  Adjusted EBITDA was $16.1 million (6.8% of sales), an increase of 410 basis points relative to the first quarter of 2024.  Second quarter results were favorably impacted by non-operating foreign currency of approximately $2.3 million.

The exhibits attached hereto provide reconciliation detail on normalizing adjustments of non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release. 

Jim Zizelman, president and chief executive officer, commented, "Our second quarter performance highlights our continued focus on improving the fundamentals of our business leading to significantly improved margins and significant outperformance relative to our prior expectations. This was primarily driven by continued material cost reductions, improved operational excellence, including reduced quality-related costs, and operating cost control as we continue to execute on the key initiatives we set at the beginning of the year. Our efforts to reduce material costs and control operating costs contributed to a 250 basis point improvement in gross margin and a 210 basis point improvement in adjusted operating margin over the first quarter. Including the benefit of non-operating FX income, adjusted EBITDA margin improved by 410 basis points over the first quarter to 6.8% of sales. We continue to improve the financial performance of the business while maintaining our robust approach to technology innovation and growth."

Zizelman continued, "While we continue to drive operational performance improvement, we remain focused on flawless execution of the program launches that will drive strong growth going-forward. We are excited to announce that during the second quarter we began shipping our first MirrorEye OEM systems to Volvo for the launch of their FH Aero model in Europe. Similarly, our MirrorEye program with Peterbilt launched on Models 579 and 567 in North America in July.  Both customers are focusing significant marketing efforts on MirrorEye as a differentiating product in the market. Initial customer feedback has been excellent. For example, Volvo recently announced one of their largest deals ever, in which they have received an order for 1,500 vehicles all of which will be equipped with MirrorEye to be delivered throughout 2024 and 2025. While we have experienced some volatility as new truck production and our programs ramp up, we expect volumes to continue to accelerate for the remainder of the year bringing take rates at least inline with our original expectations. We continue to expect MirrorEye to gain momentum in the second half of this year, as our first OEM program in Europe maintains its strong take rates and the two recently launched programs continue to ramp up in production."

Zizelman concluded, "Our robust backlog continues to provide a strong foundation for our strategy focused on technologies and capabilities that will drive continued long-term growth. Last month, Volvo Bus announced they have selected Stoneridge to provide connected services and digital solutions using our artificial intelligence-based fuel advice system in a pilot program this year. This partnership is aligned with our ongoing focus on data services, software and AI to drive advanced system capabilities and expansion of our existing technology platforms and products to drive long-term profitable growth."

Second Quarter in Review

Electronics sales of $153.5 million decreased by 6.4% relative to adjusted sales of the second quarter of 2023. This decrease was primarily driven by lower sales in both the European and North American commercial vehicle end markets and the impact of retroactive pricing recognized in the second quarter of 2023 of approximately $3.3 million. This is partially offset by higher sales in the European off-highway vehicle end market. Second quarter adjusted operating margin of 7.6% improved by 230 basis points relative to the adjusted operating margin of the second quarter of 2023, primarily due to lower direct material costs as a percentage of sales, as well as lower D&D and SG&A costs. 

Control Devices sales of $80.9 million decreased by 13.1% relative to sales of the second quarter of 2023. This decrease was primarily due to lower sales in the North American passenger vehicle end market due to lower customer volumes and the expected wind-down of end-of-life programs as well as lower China automotive sales. Second quarter operating margin of 4.6% decreased by 130 basis points relative to the adjusted operating margin of the second quarter of 2023, primarily due to lower contribution from lower sales, partially offset by lower direct material costs as a percentage of sales and lower D&D costs.

Stoneridge Brazil sales of $11.8 million decreased by $3.1 million relative to sales in the second quarter of 2023. This decrease was primarily due to lower sales in local OEM products, tracking devices and monitoring service fees. Second quarter operating performance of approximately break-even decreased by approximately $0.9 million relative to the second quarter of 2023, primarily due to lower contribution from lower sales volumes partially offset by lower direct material costs.

Relative to the first quarter of 2024, Electronics adjusted sales of $153.5 million, decreased by $2.6 million, or 1.7%. This slight decrease was driven primarily by the unfavorable impact of foreign currency of approximately $2.2 million. Second quarter adjusted operating margin increased by 310 basis points relative to the first quarter of 2024, primarily due to material cost improvements, lower quality-related costs and lower engineering costs.

Relative to the first quarter of 2024, Control Devices sales increased by 3.7%. This increase was primarily due to higher sales in the North American passenger vehicle end market as well as higher commercial vehicle sales in China. Second quarter adjusted operating margin increased by 180 basis points relative to the first quarter of 2024, primarily due to benefits recognized from completed negotiations related to price and volume, improved operational execution and lower SG&A and D&D costs as a result of operating cost control efforts.

Relative to the first quarter of 2024, Stoneridge Brazil sales decreased by $0.4 million. This was primarily the result of the unfavorable foreign currency impact of approximately $0.6 million. Second quarter operating performance decreased by $0.2 million relative to the first quarter of 2024, primarily due to unfavorable foreign currency impact of approximately $0.2 million.

Cash and Debt Balances

As of June 30, 2024, Stoneridge had compliance net debt of $161.4 million resulting in a net debt to trailing twelve-month EBITDA compliance leverage ratio of 2.89x, an improvement of 0.24x compared to December 31, 2023.

The Company continues to focus on both operating performance and working capital improvement to drive cash performance, particularly related to inventory reduction. During the first half of the year, inventory balances declined by $9.0 million. The Company expects to continue to reduce inventory balances throughout the year. The Company expects a net debt to EBITDA ratio for compliance purposes of approximately 2.5x by the end of 2024.

2024 Outlook

The Company is updating its previously provided full-year 2024 guidance ranges including sales guidance of $940 million to $970 million, gross margin guidance of 22.75% to 23.0%, adjusted operating margin guidance of approximately 2.75%, adjusted earnings per share guidance of $0.18 to $0.28 and adjusted EBITDA guidance of $58 million to $64 million, or 6.2% to 6.6% of sales.

Matt Horvath, chief financial officer, commented, "We are updating our full-year 2024 revenue guidance to reflect updated foreign currency rates, updated OEM production volumes and current expectations for non-OEM and customer demand-based products. This results in a midpoint of $955 million for the year. Due primarily to our year-to-date performance, expectation of continued reduction in material costs and a continued focus on operational excellence, we are increasing our full-year gross margin expectations by 50 basis points. We are expecting improved gross margin and operating cost control to significantly offset the decremental impact of reduced revenue. As a result, we are reducing our adjusted EBITDA margin midpoint guidance by 30 basis points, or $61 million of adjusted EBITDA. This results in a 130 basis point margin improvement and 27% growth in adjusted EBITDA over 2023. Finally, we are reducing our full-year adjusted EPS guidance to a midpoint of $0.23 to reflect the lower contribution from reduced sales partially offset by improved operating performance."

Horvath, concluded, "By continuing to focus on improving the fundamentals of our business, we drove significant margin expansion across our business in the second quarter. Additionally, we continue to focus on inventory reduction to improve our cash position and reduce our leverage profile. We expect to continue those efforts in the second half of the year to help drive financial performance. Stoneridge remains well positioned to outpace our underlying end market growth and drive significant earnings expansion going forward."
