NOVI, Michigan – October 26, 2018 – Stoneridge, Inc. (NYSE: SRI) today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2018, with sales of $208.9 million and earnings per diluted share of $0.46. Adjusted EPS was $0.47 for the third quarter, considering adjustments related to the step-up in the fair value of the earn-out related to the PST transaction in 2017, certain business realignment costs and a gain related to the impact of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which have been removed to reflect normalized earnings.

For the third quarter of 2018, Stoneridge reported gross profit of $63.3 million (30.3% of sales). Operating income was $18.3 million and adjusted operating income was $18.7 million (9.0% of sales). Adjusted EBITDA was $25.4 million (12.2% of sales).

Jon DeGaynor, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Stoneridge delivered another strong quarter of financial performance. In addition to our financial results, we are providing detail on an award for a new Shift-by-Wire program. This award is for three different platforms with a local Chinese OEM utilizing both traditional and hybrid-electric powertrains. The award has a peak annual revenue of $13 million and begins in 2020 with an expected life of seven years. This is our first Shift-by-Wire program that will be manufactured in China specifically for the local market and will help us establish a footprint for future actuation awards in the region. We believe that local preferences for a standalone Shift-by-Wire solution will drive double-digit market growth for both our Shift-by-Wire and Park-by-Wire products in China over the next five years.”

Third Quarter in Review

Control Devices net sales of $110.0 million increased relative primarily as a result of an increase in sales volume in the commercial vehicle market partially offset by decreases in sales volume in the North American and China automotive market. Control Devices gross margin improved slightly due to a decrease in direct material and labor costs as a percentage of net sales. The segment’s operating income increased slightly primarily due to higher sales partially offset by higher SG&A expenses and D&D costs while adjusted operating margin of 15.2% increased slightly over Q3 2017.

Electronics net sales of $90.7 million increased primarily due to an increase in sales volume in the European and North American commercial vehicle markets and increased sales in the European and North American off-highway vehicle markets. These increases were partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency translation of $3.1 million. Electronics segment gross margin was consistent with the prior year as higher sales, lower labor and overhead costs as a percentage of sales and a favorable mix related to Orlaco product sales were offset by higher direct material costs as a percentage of net sales. The segment’s operating income increased primarily due to the higher sales and lower SG&A expenses. This increase was partially offset by higher allocated direct support costs from unallocated corporate for procurement and manufacturing activities resulting in adjusted operating margin for the segment of 10.3% relative to 8.4% in Q3 2017.

PST net sales of $18.9 million decreased primarily due to lower volumes for alarm and audio products and sales in the Argentina market as well as an unfavorable foreign currency translation that decreased sales by $5.1 million. This reduction was partially offset by a slight increase in sales of new products to factory-authorized dealer installers and higher sales of monitoring products. PST gross margin decreased due to the adverse impact of U.S.-denominated material purchases partially offset by a favorable sales mix. PST adjusted operating margin increased from 5.8% in Q3 2017 to 6.5% in the current quarter primarily due to lower SG&A costs as a percentage of sales.

Share Repurchase Program

Bob Krakowiak, Chief Financial Officer, commented, “In addition to strong financial performance in the quarter and a key business award for our Shift-by-Wire product in China, we are announcing that the Company’s Board of Directors has authorized a share repurchase program for up-to $50 million over the next 18 months. We have tremendous confidence in our business and we believe that this share repurchase program, which could result in the Company repurchasing up to approximately 8% of our outstanding shares given the current share price, is a prudent way to increase shareholder value. We will utilize our strong balance sheet, low cost of debt and strong cash flow profile to return capital to shareholders while we continue to evaluate opportunities to put our capital to use through organic or inorganic investments.”

The Company's common shares may be repurchased from time to time at prevailing prices, subject to market conditions, common share price and other considerations. The repurchases may be made from time to time in either open market transactions or in privately negotiated transactions. No assurance can be given as to the times when the common shares will be repurchased or to whether and to what extent the common shares repurchase will be consummated.

Cash and Debt Balances

As of September 30, 2018, Stoneridge had cash and cash equivalent balances totaling $60.7 million. Total debt as of September 30, 2018, was $104.0 million. Total debt less cash and cash equivalents yields a current net debt to trailing-twelve-month adjusted EBITDA ratio of approximately 0.4x.

2018 Outlook

The Company is reaffirming the low-end of the previously provided Adjusted EPS range with full-year midpoint guidance of $2.05. Continued margin expansion and a reduced tax rate relative to prior expectations are expected to partially offset reduced production forecasts, unfavorable forecasted currency rates and additional tariff impacts for the remainder of the year.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
This press release contains information about Stoneridge's financial results which is not presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). Such non-GAAP financial measures are reconciled to their closest GAAP financial measures at the end of this press release. The provision of these non-GAAP financial measures for 2017 and 2018 is not intended to indicate that Stoneridge is explicitly or implicitly providing projections on those non-GAAP financial measures, and actual results for such measures are likely to vary from those presented.

Management believes the non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release are useful to both management and investors in their analysis of the Company’s financial position and results of operations. In particular, management believes that adjusted gross profit, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share and adjusted EBITDA are useful measures in assessing the Company’s financial performance by excluding certain items that are not indicative of the Company’s core operating performance or that may obscure trends useful in evaluating the Company’s continuing operating activities. Management also believes that these measures are useful to both management and investors in their analysis of the Company’s results of operations and provide improved comparability between fiscal periods.

Adjusted gross profit, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share, and adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for gross profit, operating income, net income, earnings per share, cash provided by operating activities or other income statement or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP.
