      Ohio - October 24, 2008 - Stoneridge, Inc. (NYSE: SRI) </font><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">announced
      today that earnings for the third quarter of 2008 are expected to be in the
      range of breakeven to a loss of ($0.03) per share. Third-quarter sales of $178.4
      million were 3.2% above the third-quarter level of 2007, though below Company
      expectations. The expected reduction in earnings was due primarily to
      weaker-than-expected sales in the North American automotive market and charges
      associated with Stoneridge&#8217;s previously announced restructuring program.

      third-quarter estimate includes restructuring charges and related expenses
      of
      approximately $4.8 million or $0.16 per share.&#160;The third-quarter 2008
      earnings performance was also affected by&#160;the loss of overhead cost
      recoveries because of lower production volumes which were the result of
      restructuring inventory built&#160;primarily in the first half of 2008. In
      addition, third-quarter earnings were affected by a higher effective tax
      rate&#160;which was due primarily to restructuring expenses incurred in the U.K.
      with no&#160;associated tax benefits.</font></div>

      announced a restructuring plan in November 2007 to improve its global
      manufacturing network and reduce its overhead cost structures. Stoneridge&#8217;s
      restructuring cost has been approximately $11.0 million through the first nine
      months of 2008, including the $4.8 million in the third quarter, and is
      estimated to be $13.0 million to $15.0 million for the full year, excluding
      the
      sale of the Sarasota, Florida facility. This has resulted in a negative impact
      to earnings of $0.37 per share for the first nine months of the year, and an
      estimated $0.48 to $0.52 per share for the full year. Stoneridge&#8217;s restructuring
      efforts are expected to generate annual benefits between $8.0 million to $12.0
      million in 2009, or $0.22 to $0.33 per share.</font></div>

      began
      to implement our restructuring efforts ahead of the market downturn, and as
      a
      result, we are in a better position to weather this cyclical downturn,&#8221; said

      aggressively executing our restructuring initiatives since the fourth quarter
      of
      2007, and I am pleased and encouraged that the hard work and dedication of
      our
      management team will improve our competitive position as these programs near

      added, &#8220;Due to the additional market demand reductions we are experiencing, we
      are assessing additional measures that may need to be taken to adjust our
      capacities to the lower market forecasts. In the third quarter, we began the
      additional consolidation of one more facility within our Control Devices Group,
      with an expected cost of approximately $800,000 and estimated annual savings
      of
      approximately $1.0 million in 2009. We also announced additional layoffs in
      September 2008 within the Control Devices Group.&#8221;</font></div>

      the current business level is becoming increasingly more difficult to predict,
      Stoneridge is also announcing a revision to its full-year 2008 earnings
      guidance. For the full year, the Company now expects earnings of $0.40 to $0.46
      per share including estimated restructuring charges in the range of $13.0
      million to $15.0 million or $0.48 to $0.52 per share. The revised guidance
      excludes the sale of the Sarasota, Florida facility which is now expected to
      occur in 2009. The Company&#8217;s prior guidance of $0.75 to $0.85 per share included
      estimated restructuring charges in the range of $0.38 to $0.40 per share which
      included an approximate $0.10 per share gain from the previously anticipated
      2008 sale of the Sarasota facility. </font></div>

      Company repurchased $17.0 million of its 11.5% senior notes in the first half
      of
      this year. Management reviewed the Company&#8217;s cash investments during the first
      stages of the economic slowdown and amid the financial uncertainty moved certain
      select investments to ensure that its deposits were secure. In addition,
      Stoneridge has full availability (as defined) up to $100 million on its
      asset-backed revolving credit facility. The Company is also pursuing
