NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(in thousands, except per share data, unless otherwise stated)

(Unaudited)

(1) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Stoneridge, Inc. (the “Company”) without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The information furnished in the condensed consolidated financial statements includes normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the SEC’s rules and regulations. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s 2019 Form 10-K.

The Company’s investment in Minda Stoneridge Instruments Ltd. (“MSIL”) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 has been determined to be an unconsolidated entity, and therefore is accounted for under the equity method of accounting based on the Company’s 49% ownership in MSIL.

(2) Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (‘FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-15, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract.” The guidance in ASU 2018-15 clarifies the accounting for implementation costs in cloud computing arrangements. ASU 2018-15 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted this standard prospectively as of January 1, 2020 and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

​

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) – Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.” The guidance in ASU 2018-13 changes disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements as part of the disclosure framework project. The disclosure framework project aims to improve the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to the financial statements by focusing on requirements that clearly communicate the most important information to users of the financial statements. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2020 and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

​

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”, which requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held and requires enhanced disclosures regarding significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The guidance allows for various methods for measuring expected credit losses. The Company has elected to apply a historical loss rate based on historical write-offs by region, adjusted for current economic conditions and forecasts about future economic conditions that are reasonable and supportable. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2020 and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) – Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” The guidance in ASU 2020-04 provides temporary optional expedient and exceptions to the guidance in U.S. GAAP on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens related to expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) (also known as the “reference rate reform”). The guidance allows companies to elect not to apply certain modification accounting requirements to contracts affected by the reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. The guidance will also allow companies to elect various optional expedients which would allow them to continue to apply hedge accounting for hedging relationships affected by the reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

​

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” The amendments in this update remove certain exceptions of Topic 740 including: exception to the incremental approach for intraperiod tax allocation when there is a loss from continuing operations and income or gain from other items; exception to the requirement to recognize a deferred tax liability for equity method investments when a foreign subsidiary becomes an equity method investment; exception to the ability not to recognize a deferred tax liability for a foreign subsidiary when a foreign equity method investment becomes a subsidiary; exception to the general methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period when a year-to-date loss exceeds the anticipated loss for the year. There are also additional areas of guidance in regards to: franchise and other taxes partially based on income and the interim recognition of enactment of tax laws and rate changes. The provisions of this ASU are effective for years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

(3) Revenue

Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with our customer are satisfied; generally this occurs with the transfer of control of our products and services, which is usually when the parts are shipped or delivered to the customer’s premises. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. The transaction price will include estimates of variable consideration to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue recognized will not occur. Incidental items that are not significant in the context of the contract are recognized as expense. The expected costs associated with our base warranties continue to be recognized as expense when the products are sold. Customer returns only occur if products do not meet the specifications of the contract and are not connected to any repurchase obligations of the Company.

The Company does not have any financing components or significant payment terms as payment occurs shortly after the point of sale. Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction that are collected by the Company from a customer are excluded from revenue. Amounts billed to customers related to shipping and handling costs are included in net sales in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control over a product is transferred to the customer are accounted for as a fulfillment cost and are included in cost of sales.

Revenue by Reportable Segment

Control Devices. Our Control Devices segment designs and manufactures products that monitor, measure or activate specific functions within a vehicle. This segment includes product lines such as actuators, sensors, switches and connectors. We sell these products principally to the automotive market in the North American, European, and Asia Pacific regions. To a lesser extent, we also sell these products to the commercial vehicle and agricultural markets in our North America, European and Asia Pacific regions. Our customers included in these markets primarily consist of original equipment manufacturers (“OEM”) and companies supplying components directly to the OEMs (“Tier 1 supplier”).

Electronics. Our Electronics segment designs and manufactures driver information systems, camera-based vision systems, connectivity and compliance products and electronic control units. These products are sold principally to the commercial vehicle market primarily through our OEM and aftermarket channels in the North American and European regions, and to a lesser extent, the Asia Pacific region. The camera-based vision systems and related products are sold principally to the off-highway vehicle market in the North American and European regions.

Stoneridge Brazil. Our Stoneridge Brazil segment (also referred to as “PST” in prior filings) primarily serves the South American region and specializes in the design, manufacture and sale of vehicle tracking devices and monitoring services, vehicle security alarms and convenience accessories, in-vehicle audio and infotainment devices and telematics solutions. Stoneridge Brazil sells its products through the aftermarket distribution channel, to factory authorized dealer installers, also referred to as original equipment services, direct to OEMs and through mass merchandisers. In addition, monitoring services and tracking devices are sold directly to corporate customers and individual consumers.

(1) | Company sales based on geographic location are where the sale originates not where the customer is located.

Performance Obligations

For OEM and Tier 1 supplier customers, the Company typically enters into contracts to provide serial production parts that consist of a set of documents including, but not limited to, an award letter, master purchase agreement and master terms and conditions. For each production product, the Company enters into separate purchase orders that contain the product specifications and an agreed-upon price. The performance obligation does not exist until a customer release is received for a specific number of parts. The majority of the parts sold to OEM and Tier 1 supplier customers are customized to the specific customer, with the exception of off-highway products that are common across all customers. The transaction price is equal to the contracted price per part and there is no expectation of material variable consideration in the transaction price. For most customer contracts, the Company does not have an enforceable right to payment at any time prior to when the parts are shipped or delivered to the customer; therefore, the Company recognizes revenue at the point in time it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a part to the customer.

(Unaudited)

Our aftermarket products are focused on meeting the demand for repair and replacement parts, compliance parts and accessories and are sold primarily to aftermarket distributors and mass retailers in our South American, European and North American markets. Aftermarket products have one type of performance obligation which is the delivery of aftermarket parts and spare parts. For aftermarket customers, the Company typically has standard terms and conditions for all customers. In addition, aftermarket products have alternative use as they can be sold to multiple customers. Revenue for aftermarket part production contracts is recognized at a point in time when the control of the parts transfer to the customer which is based on the shipping terms. Aftermarket contracts may include variable consideration related to discounts and rebates which is included in the transaction price upon recognizing the product revenue.

A small portion of the Company’s sales are comprised of monitoring services that include both monitoring devices and fees to individual, corporate, fleet and cargo customers in our Stoneridge Brazil segment. These monitoring service contracts are generally not capable of being distinct and are accounted for as a single performance obligation. We recognize revenue for our monitoring products and services contracts over the life of the contract. There is no variable consideration associated with these contracts. The Company has the right to consideration from a customer in the amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the Company’s performance to date. Therefore, the Company recognizes revenue over time using the practical expedient ASC 606-10-55-18 in the amount the Company has a “right to invoice” rather than selecting an output or input method.

Contract Balances

The Company had no material contract assets, contract liabilities or capitalized contract acquisition costs as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

(4) Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (using either the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) or average cost methods) or net realizable value. The Company evaluates and adjusts as necessary its excess and obsolescence reserve on a quarterly basis. Excess inventories are quantities of items that exceed anticipated sales or usage for a reasonable period. The Company has guidelines for calculating provisions for excess inventories based on the number of months of inventories on-hand compared to anticipated sales or usage. Management uses its judgment to forecast sales or usage and to determine what constitutes a reasonable period. Inventory cost includes material, labor and overhead. Inventories consisted of the following:

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | June 30, | ​ | December 31,
​ |  | 2020 |  | 2019
Raw materials | ​ | $ | 72,316 | ​ | $ | 66,357
Work-in-progress | ​ | ​ | 6,410 | ​ | ​ | 5,582
Finished goods | ​ | ​ | 18,207 | ​ | ​ | 21,510
Total inventories, net | ​ | $ | 96,933 | ​ | $ | 93,449

​

Inventory valued using the FIFO method was $86,694 and $82,910 at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Inventory valued using the average cost method was $10,239 and $10,539 at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Financial Instruments

A financial instrument is cash or a contract that imposes an obligation to deliver or conveys a right to receive cash or another financial instrument. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable are considered to be representative of fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The fair value of debt approximates the carrying value of debt.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

On June 30, 2020, the Company had open foreign currency forward contracts which are used solely for hedging and not for speculative purposes. Management believes that its use of these instruments to reduce risk is in the Company’s best interest. The counterparties to these financial instruments are financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

The Company conducts business internationally and therefore is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk. The Company uses derivative financial instruments as cash flow hedges to manage its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates by reducing the effect of such fluctuations on foreign currency denominated intercompany transactions, inventory purchases and other foreign currency exposures. The Company hedged the euro and Mexican peso currencies during 2020 and the Mexican peso in 2019.

These forward contracts were executed to hedge forecasted transactions and have been accounted for as cash flow hedges. As such, gains and losses on derivatives qualifying as cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, to the extent that hedges are effective, until the underlying transactions are recognized in earnings. Unrealized amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income will fluctuate based on changes in the fair value of hedge derivative contracts at each reporting period. The cash flow hedges were highly effective. The effectiveness of the transactions has been and will be measured on an ongoing basis using regression analysis and forecasted future purchases of the currency.

In certain instances, the foreign currency forward contracts may not qualify for hedge accounting or are not designated as hedges, and therefore are marked-to-market with gains and losses recognized in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations as a component of other income (loss), net. At June 30, 2020, all of the Company’s foreign currency forward contracts were designated as cash flow hedges.

The Company’s foreign currency forward contracts offset a portion of the gains and losses on the underlying foreign currency denominated transactions as follows:

U.S. dollar-denominated Foreign Currency Forward Contracts – Cash Flow Hedges

The Company entered into U.S. dollar-denominated currency contracts on behalf of one of its European Electronics subsidiaries, whose functional currency is the euro, with a notional amount at June 30, 2020 of $1,400 which expire ratably on a monthly basis from July 2020 through December 2020. There were no such contracts at December 31, 2019.

Mexican peso-denominated Foreign Currency Forward Contracts – Cash Flow Hedges

The Company holds Mexican peso-denominated foreign currency forward contracts with a notional amount at June 30, 2020 of $15,402 which expire ratably on a monthly basis from July 2020 to March 2021. There were no open Mexican peso-denominated foreign currency forward contracts at December 31, 2019.

The Company evaluated the effectiveness of the Mexican peso and euro-denominated forward contracts held as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, and for the six months then ended, and concluded that the hedges were effective.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest Rate Risk – Cash Flow Hedge

On February 18, 2020, the Company entered into a floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreement (the “Swap”) with a notional amount of $50,000 to hedge its exposure to interest payment fluctuations on a portion of its 2019 Credit Facility. The Swap was designated as a cash flow hedge of the variable interest rate obligation under the Company's 2019 Credit Facility that has a current balance of $161,000 at June 30, 2020. The Swap agreement settles each month on the same day that the 2019 Credit Facility interest payments are due and has a maturity date of March 10, 2023 which is prior to the 2019 Credit Facility maturity date of June 4, 2024. Under the Swap terms, the Company pays a fixed interest rate and receives a floating interest rate based on the one-month LIBOR, with a floor. The critical terms of the Swap are aligned with the terms of the 2019 Credit Facility, resulting in no hedge ineffectiveness. The difference between amounts to be received and paid under the Swap is recognized as a component of interest expense, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Swap increased interest expense by $114 and $118 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.

Fair Value Measurements

Certain assets and liabilities held by the Company are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are categorized using the three levels of the fair value hierarchy based on the reliability of the inputs used. Fair values estimated using Level 1 inputs consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. Fair values estimated using Level 2 inputs, other than quoted prices, are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly and include among other things, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active or inactive as well as inputs other than quoted prices that are observable. For forward currency contracts, inputs include foreign currency exchange rates. For the interest rate swap, inputs include LIBOR. Fair values estimated using Level 3 inputs consist of significant unobservable inputs.

The following table presents our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are categorized using the three levels of the fair value hierarchy based on the reliability of inputs used.

​

The Company will be required to pay the Stoneridge Brazil earn-out consideration, which is not capped, based on Stoneridge Brazil’s financial performance in either 2020 or 2021. The fair value of the Stoneridge Brazil earn-out consideration is based on discounted cash flows utilizing forecasted earnings before interest, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) in 2020 and 2021 using the key inputs of forecasted sales and expected operating income reduced by the market required rate of return. The former Stoneridge Brazil owners may choose either the 2020 or 2021 financial performance period to be used to determine the earn-out consideration payment. The former Stoneridge Brazil owners must choose the 2020 financial performance period by March 31, 2021 otherwise the 2021 financial performance period will automatically be used. The earn-out fair value assumes 2021 financial performance will be the basis for the earn-out consideration obligation. The earn-out consideration obligation related to Stoneridge Brazil is recorded within other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

The change in fair value of the earn-out consideration for Stoneridge Brazil was primarily due to favorable foreign currency translation and updated forecast projections offset by the reduced time from the current period end to the payment date. The change in fair value of the Stoneridge Brazil earn-out consideration was recorded in SG&A expense and the foreign currency impact was included in other (income) expense, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The Orlaco earn-out consideration reached the capped amount of €7,500 as of the quarter ended March 31, 2018 due to actual performance exceeding forecasted performance and remained at the capped amount until it was paid out in March 2019 for $8,474. The earn-out consideration payout was recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows within operating and financing activities in the amounts of $5,080 and $3,394, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets or Finite-Lived Assets

​

The Company reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets and finite-lived intangible assets for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors the Company considers important that could trigger testing of the related asset groups for an impairment include current period operating or cash flow losses combined with a history of operating or cash flow losses, a projection or forecast that demonstrates continuing losses, significant adverse changes in the business climate within a particular business or current expectations that a long-lived asset will be sold or otherwise disposed of significantly before the end of its estimated useful life. To test for impairment, the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the use and disposal of the asset or asset group is compared to its carrying value. An asset group is established by identifying the lowest level of cash flows generated by the group of assets that are largely independent of cash flows of other assets. If cash flows cannot be separately and independently identified for a single asset, we will determine whether an impairment has occurred for the group of assets for which we can identify projected cash flows. If these undiscounted cash flows are less than their respective carrying values, an impairment charge would be recognized to the extent that the carrying values exceed estimated fair values. The estimation of undiscounted cash flows and fair value requires us to make assumptions regarding future operating results over the life of the asset or the life of the primary asset in the asset group. The results of the impairment testing are dependent on these estimates which require judgment. The occurrence of certain events, including changes in economic and competitive conditions, could impact cash flows eventually realized and management’s ability to accurately assess whether an asset is impaired.

​

On May 19, 2020, the Company committed to the strategic exit of its Control Devices particulate matter (“PM”) sensor product line. As a result of the strategic exit of the PM sensor product line the Company determined an impairment indicator existed and performed a recoverability test of the related long-lived assets. The Company identified that there are two asset groups comprised of PM fixed assets at the Company’s Lexington, Ohio and Tallinn, Estonia facilities. As a result of the recoverability test performed, the Company determined that the undiscounted cash flows did not exceed the carrying value of the PM fixed assets at the Company’s Tallinn, Estonia facility. As such, an impairment loss of $2,326 was recorded based on the difference between the fair value and the carrying value of the assets. The Company used the income approach to determine the fair value of the PM fixed assets at the Tallinn, Estonia facility. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the impairment loss of $2,326 was recorded on the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations within selling, general and administrative expense. The inputs utilized in the analyses are classified as Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy as defined in ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurement."

​

(6) Share-Based Compensation

Compensation expense for share-based compensation arrangements, which is recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations as a component of SG&A expenses, was $733 and $2,046 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Compensation expense for share-based compensation arrangements was $2,110 and $3,594 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The expenses related to share-based compensation awards for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 were lower than the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 due to a reduced attainment of performance-based awards.

(8) (Loss) Earnings Per Share

Basic (loss) earnings per share was computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted-average number of Common Shares outstanding for each respective period. Diluted (loss) earnings per share was calculated by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted-average of all potentially dilutive Common Shares that were outstanding during the periods presented. However, for all periods in which the Company recognized a net loss, the Company did not recognize the effect of the potential dilutive securities as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. Potential dilutive shares of 204,461 and 276,360 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, were excluded from diluted loss per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Weighted-average Common Shares outstanding used in calculating basic and diluted (loss) earnings per share were as follows:

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | Three months ended | ​ | Six months ended | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | June 30, | ​ | June 30, | ​ | ​
​ |  | 2020 |  | 2019 |  | 2020 |  | 2019 | ​ | ​
Basic weighted-average Common Shares outstanding | ​ | 26,952,336 | ​ | 27,887,157 | ​ | 27,092,186 | ​ | 28,208,229 | ​ | ​
Effect of dilutive shares | ​ | - | ​ | 406,390 | ​ | - | ​ | 507,496 | ​ | ​
Diluted weighted-average Common Shares outstanding | ​ | 26,952,336 | ​ | 28,293,547 | ​ | 27,092,186 | ​ | 28,715,725 | ​ | ​

​

There were 771,854 and 662,509 performance-based right to receive Common Shares outstanding at June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The right to receive Common Shares are included in the computation of diluted earnings per share based on the number of Common Shares that would be issuable if the end of the quarter were the end of the contingency period.

(9) Equity and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

Common Share Repurchase

​

On October 26, 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to $50,000 of Common Shares. Thereafter, on May 7, 2019, the Company entered into a Master Confirmation (the “Master Confirmation”) and a Supplemental Confirmation, together with the Master Confirmation, the Accelerated Share Repurchase Agreement (“ASR Agreement”), with Citibank N.A. (the “Bank”) to purchase Company Common Shares for a payment of $50,000 (the “Prepayment Amount”). Under the terms of the ASR Agreement, on May 7, 2019, the Company paid the Prepayment Amount to the Bank and received on May 8, 2019 an initial delivery of 1,349,528 Company Common Shares, which approximated 80% of the total number of Company Common Shares expected to be repurchased under the ASR Agreement based on the closing price of the Company’s Common Shares on May 7, 2019. These Common Shares became treasury shares and were recorded as a $40,000 reduction to shareholder’s equity. The remaining $10,000 of the Prepayment Amount was recorded as a reduction to shareholders’ equity as an unsettled forward contract indexed to our Common Shares.

On February 25, 2020, the Bank notified the Company that it terminated early its commitment pursuant the ASR Agreement and would deliver 364,604 Common Shares on February 27, 2020 based on the volume weighted average price of our Common Shares during the term set forth in the ASR Agreement. The Bank’s notice of early termination and the subsequent delivery of Common Shares represents the final settlement of the Company’s share repurchase program pursuant to the accelerated share repurchase agreement. These Common Shares became treasury shares and were recorded as a $10,000 reduction to shareholders’ equity as Common Shares held in treasury with the offset of $10,000 to additional paid-in capital.

​

On February 24, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a new repurchase program of $50,000 for the repurchase of the Company’s outstanding Common Shares over the next 18 months. The repurchases may be made from time to time in either open market transactions or in privately negotiated transactions. Repurchases may also be made under Rule 10b-18 plans, which permit Common Shares to be repurchased through pre-determined criteria.

​

On March 3, 2020, under the new repurchase program the Company entered into a 10b-18 Agreement Letter (the “10b-18 Agreement”), with the Bank to purchase Company Common Shares, under purchasing conditions of Rule 10b-18 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Rule 10b-18”), for up to $5,000. Under the terms of the 10b-18 Agreement, commencing March 3, 2020 and ending March 6, 2020, the Company received delivery of a total of 242,634 Company Common Shares for the amount of $4,995. These Common Shares became treasury shares and were recorded as a $4,995 reduction to shareholders’ equity as Common Shares held in treasury. In April 2020, the Company announced that it was temporarily suspending the previously announced share repurchase program in response to uncertainty surrounding the duration and magnitude of the impact of COVID-19.

(10) Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time we are subject to various legal actions and claims incidental to our business, including those arising out of breach of contracts, product warranties, product liability, patent infringement, regulatory matters and employment-related matters. The Company establishes accruals for matters which it believes that losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Although it is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome of these matters, the Company is of the opinion that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated results of operations or financial position.

As a result of environmental studies performed at the Company’s former facility located in Sarasota, Florida, the Company became aware of soil and groundwater contamination at the site and engaged an environmental engineering consultant to develop a remediation and monitoring plan for the site. Soil remediation at the site was completed during the year ended December 31, 2010. A remedial action plan was approved by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and groundwater remediation began in the fourth quarter of 2015. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, environmental remediation costs incurred were immaterial. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, environmental remediation costs incurred were $103 and $105, respectively. At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company accrued a remaining undiscounted liability of $174 and $82, respectively, related to future remediation and monitoring and were recorded as a component of accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Costs associated with the recorded liability will be incurred to complete the groundwater remediation and monitoring. The recorded liability is based on assumptions in the remedial action plan. Although the Company sold the Sarasota facility and related property in December 2011, the liability to remediate the site contamination remains the responsibility of the Company. Due to the ongoing site remediation, the Company is currently required to maintain a $1,489 letter of credit for the benefit of the buyer.

The Company’s Stoneridge Brazil subsidiary has civil, labor and other non-income tax contingencies for which the likelihood of loss is deemed to be reasonably possible, but not probable, by the Company’s legal advisors in Brazil. As a result, no provision has been recorded with respect to these contingencies, which amounted to R$30,800 ($5,600) and R$29,200 ($7,300) at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. An unfavorable outcome on these contingencies could result in significant cost to the Company and adversely affect its results of operations.

Product Warranty and Recall

Amounts accrued for product warranty and recall claims are established based on the Company’s best estimate of the amounts necessary to settle existing and future claims on products sold as of the balance sheet dates. These accruals are based on several factors including past experience, production changes, industry developments and various other considerations. Our estimate is based on historical trends of units sold and claim payment amounts, combined with our current understanding of the status of existing claims and discussions with our customers. The key factors in our estimate are the stated or implied warranty period, the customer source, customer policy decisions regarding warranties and customers seeking to hold the Company responsible for their product warranties. The Company can provide no assurances that it will not experience material claims or that it will not incur significant costs to defend or settle such claims beyond the amounts accrued. The current portion of product warranty and recall is included as a component of accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Product warranty and recall included $3,156 and $3,111 of a long-term liability at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, which is included as a component of other long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The following provides a reconciliation of changes in product warranty and recall liability:

Six months ended June 30, |  | 2020 |  | 2019

Brazilian Indirect Tax

​

In March 2017, the Supreme Court of Brazil issued a decision concluding that a certain state value added tax should not be included in the calculation of federal gross receipts taxes. The decision reduced Stoneridge Brazil’s gross receipts tax prospectively and, potentially, retrospectively. In April 2019, the Company received judicial notification that the Superior Judicial Court of Brazil rendered a favorable decision on Stoneridge Brazil’s case granting the Company the right to recover, through offset of federal tax liabilities, amounts collected by the government from June 2010 to February 2017. Based on the Company’s determination that these tax credits will be used prior to expiration, the Company recorded a pre-tax benefit of $6,473 as a reduction to SG&A expense which is inclusive of related interest income of $2,392, net of applicable professional fees of $990 in the year ended December 31, 2019. The Company received administrative approval in January 2020 and is now offsetting eligible federal tax with these tax credits.

​

The Brazilian tax authorities have sought clarification before the Supreme Court of Brazil (in a leading case involving another taxpayer) of certain matters that could affect the rights of Brazilian taxpayers regarding these credits. The timing for a decision is uncertain due to the COVID-19 pandemic. If the Brazilian tax authorities challenge our rights to these credits, we may become subject to new litigation that could impact the amount ultimately realized by Stoneridge Brazil.

​

(11) Business Realignment and Restructuring

On May 19, 2020, the Company committed to the strategic exit of its Control Devices particulate matter (“PM”) sensor product line. The decision to exit the PM sensor product line was made after consideration of the decline in the market outlook for diesel passenger vehicles, the current and expected profitability of the product line and the Company’s strategic focus on aligning resources with the greatest opportunities. The Company expects the exit from the PM sensor product line to be completed in the third quarter of 2021.

(12) Income Taxes

For interim tax reporting we estimate our annual effective tax rate and apply it to our year to date ordinary (loss) income. Tax jurisdictions with a projected or year to date loss for which a benefit cannot be realized are excluded.

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, income tax benefit of $(6,721) was attributable to the mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions as well as valuation allowances in certain jurisdictions. The effective tax rate of 23.6% is greater than the statutory rate primarily due to the impact of certain incentives.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, income tax benefit of $(5,508) was attributable to the mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions partially offset by the establishment of a valuation allowance. The effective tax rate of 23.2% is greater than the statutory rate primarily due to the impact of certain incentives.

For the three months ended June 30, 2019, income tax expense of $9,066 was attributable to the sale of Non-core Products on April 2, 2019. The effective tax rate of 18.6% is lower than the statutory rate primarily due to the impact of certain incentives.

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, income tax expense of $10,901 was attributable to the sale of Non-core Products on April 2, 2019. The effective tax rate of 18.1% is lower than the statutory rate primarily due to the impact of certain incentives.

The accounting policies of the Company’s reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the Company’s 2019 Form 10-K. The Company’s management evaluates the performance of its reportable segments based primarily on revenues from external customers, capital expenditures and operating income. Inter-segment sales are accounted for on terms similar to those to third parties and are eliminated upon consolidation.

The financial information presented below is for our three reportable operating segments and includes adjustments for unallocated corporate costs and intercompany eliminations, where applicable. Such costs and eliminations do not meet the requirements for being classified as an operating segment. Corporate costs include various support functions, such as corporate accounting/finance, executive administration, human resources, information technology and legal.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

We are a global designer and manufacturer of highly engineered electrical and electronic components, modules and systems primarily for the automotive, commercial, off-highway, motorcycle and agricultural vehicle markets.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes related thereto and other financial information included elsewhere herein.

Impact of COVID-19 on Our Business

​

The coronavirus pandemic (“COVID-19”) has had a negative impact on the global economy, disrupting financial markets and increasing volatility, and has impeded global supply chains, restricted manufacturing operations and resulted in significantly reduced economic activity and higher unemployment rates. It has disrupted and continues to disrupt, the global vehicle industry and customer sales, production volumes and purchases of automotive, commercial, off-highway, motorcycle and agricultural vehicles by end-consumers. COVID-19 began to impact our operations in the first half of 2020 and is likely to continue to affect our business as government authorities impose mandatory closures, work-from-home orders, social distancing protocols, and other restrictions. These actions have materially affected our ability to adequately staff and maintain our operations and supply chain and have significantly impacted our financial results in the second quarter of 2020 and may continue to impact our results through the end of 2020. The adverse conditions caused by COVID-19 have reduced demand for our products and increased operating costs, which has resulted in lower overall margins. Similar to our customers, we instituted several changes to our manufacturing operations to do our best to reduce the spread of COVID-19 and keep our employees safe including coordinated shift changes, social distancing throughout the facility, temperature and health checks for our employees and installation of equipment designed to limit the potential for airborne virus transmission.

​

Due to prolonged shut-downs or significant reductions in production by our global customers in response to COVID-19, revenue declined by 45.6% from the first to second quarter 2020. The impact was greatest in our Control Devices segment where sales fell by $50.5 million from the first to second quarter 2020 due to the abrupt shutdown of several North American production facilities. Commercial vehicle production in Europe started to ramp-up earlier than passenger car production in North America, however sales in our Electronics segment still declined by 40.4%, or $32.2 million from the first to second quarter of 2020. Stoneridge Brazil sales declined by 51.9%, or $7.0 million, from the first to second quarter of 2020 and the virus continues to have a significant impact in Brazil. While COVID-19 had a significant impact on the second quarter 2020, we started to see a return of the ramp up of production by the end of the second quarter and expect the global economic conditions to continue to strengthen through the end of the year.

​

As we continue to experience disruptions in our business, we continue to manage our cash and implement modifications to preserve adequate liquidity and ensure that our business can continue to operate during this uncertain time. Beginning in the first quarter and into the second quarter of 2020, we evaluated and took several actions to reduce costs and spending across our organization. This includes reducing hiring activities, temporarily reducing workforce in facilities impacted by volume reductions or shutdowns and limiting discretionary spending. Due to the expected financial impact of COVID-19 resulting from significantly reduced production in the second quarter, during the second quarter we amended the existing credit facility to waive several financial covenants, including our net debt leverage compliance ratio, until the second quarter of 2021. At the end of the second quarter 2020, our liquidity remains strong with a cash balance of $72.4 million and $237.0 million of undrawn commitments resulting in over $309.0 million in available capital at the end of the second quarter.

​

We will continue to actively monitor the situation and may take further actions that alter our business operations as may be required by federal, state or local authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, suppliers and shareholders.

​

Segments

We are organized by products produced and markets served. Under this structure, our operations have been reported using the following segments:

Control Devices. This segment includes results of operations that manufacture actuators, sensors, switches and connectors.

Electronics. This segment includes results of operations from the production of driver information systems, camera-based vision systems, connectivity and compliance products and electronic control units.

Second Quarter Overview

As a direct result of the COVID-19 slowdown, the Company had net loss of $21.7 million, or $(0.81) per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Net income decreased by $61.5 million, or $2.22 per diluted share, from $39.8 million, or $1.41 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2019 primarily due a $122.7 million, or 55.2%, decrease in current quarter sales volume resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. In the second quarter of 2019, we recognized a gain on disposal of Control Devices’ Non-core Products of $33.9 million, or $0.95 per diluted share, and the recovery of Brazilian indirect taxes of $6.5 million, or $0.20 per diluted share. In addition, we incurred higher business realignment expenses of $2.6 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, and an increase in restructuring costs of $1.1 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared to the prior year quarter. Pursuant to the Company’s Common Share Repurchase program (“ASR Agreement”), we repurchased 1,349,528 outstanding Common Shares on May 8, 2019 and on February 27, 2020, we received an additional 364,604 Common Shares under that program. In early March 2020, under the new authorized 2020 Common Share repurchase program, we repurchased a total of 242,634 Common Shares. These transactions increased earnings per share by reducing the second quarter 2020 diluted weighted-average shares outstanding compared to the second quarter of 2019.

Net sales decreased by $122.7 million, or 55.2%, while our operating income decreased by $76.0 million. Excluding China and Brazil, nearly all of the Company’s major customers were shut down in April due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with gradual restarts in May and June. Brazil was impacted by COVID-19 later in the quarter and production ramp up lagged North America and Europe as COVID-19 continued to significantly impact macroeconomic conditions locally in Brazil at the end of the quarter.

Our Control Devices segment net sales decreased by 58.8% compared to the second quarter of 2019 primarily as a result of COVID-19. Control Devices sales volume decreased in our North American automotive, North American commercial vehicle, agriculture and other markets. Segment gross margin decreased due to lower sales and adverse leverage of fixed costs from lower sales levels. Segment operating income decreased due to the 2019 gain on disposal of Control Devices’ Non-core Products and lower segment margin.

Our Electronics segment net sales decreased by 50.3% compared to the second quarter of 2019 primarily due to COVID-19, including a decrease in sales volume in our European, North American and China commercial vehicle markets and a decrease in sales of European and North American off-highway vehicle products as well as unfavorable foreign currency translation. Segment gross margin decreased due to lower sales and adverse leverage of fixed costs from lower sales levels. Operating income for the segment decreased compared to the second quarter of 2019 due to lower segment gross margin as cost reduction initiatives were offset by business realignment and restructuring expenses.

Our Stoneridge Brazil segment net sales decreased by 57.8% compared to the second quarter of 2019 due to COVID-19 and unfavorable foreign currency translation and lower volumes for our Argentina aftermarket channel and audio and alarm products. Segment gross margin declined due to the reduction in sales volume however, gross margin percent increased due to favorable sales mix from a higher proportion of monitoring service fees. Operating income decreased compared to 2019 primarily due to the 2019 recovery of indirect taxes and the impact of lower sales and gross margin.

In the second quarter of 2020, SG&A expenses increased by $0.2 million compared to the second quarter of 2019 mostly due to incurring business realignment and restructuring costs that were offset by lower incentive compensation expense and cost reduction actions initiated in the second quarter.

At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents balances of $72.4 million and $69.4 million, respectively. The increase in cash and cash equivalents in the first half of 2020 was primarily due to net borrowings on the 2019 Credit Facility. The increase in borrowings under the 2019 Credit Facility were to maintain a high level of liquidity to ensure adequate available capital across our global locations due to adverse economic conditions caused by COVID-19. At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had $161.0 million and $126.0 million, respectively, in borrowings outstanding on the 2019 Credit Facility.

Outlook

While the Company believes that focusing on products that address industry megatrends will have a positive impact on both our top-line growth and underlying margins, beginning in the first quarter of 2020 and continuing through the second quarter, COVID-19 has caused worldwide adverse economic conditions and uncertainty in our served markets.

The North American automotive market is expected to decrease from 16.3 million units in 2019 to 12.6 million units in 2020 due to adverse economic conditions caused by COVID-19. The Company expects sales volumes in our Control Devices segment to decline from the prior year, however we expect higher sales volume in the second half of 2020 compared to the first half of 2020.

We expect full year 2020 European and North American commercial vehicle volumes to significantly decline compared to prior year volumes due to adverse economic conditions caused by COVID-19, however we expect higher sales volume in the second half of 2020 compared to the first half of 2020.

Our 2019 Stoneridge Brazil segment revenues declined compared to the prior year due to the adverse economic conditions caused by COVID-19 and lower volumes in our Brazilian served markets for our audio and alarm products. In addition, revenues were adversely affected by the continued decline in the Argentine economy. In June 2020, the International Monetary Fund (“IMF”) forecasted the Brazil gross domestic product to decline 9.1% in 2020 and grow 3.6% in 2021. We expect our served market channels to decline due to the contraction in the Brazilian economy but expect higher OEM related revenues from new program launches occurring in 2020. Our financial performance in our Stoneridge Brazil segment is also subject to uncertainty from movements in the Brazilian Real and Argentina Peso foreign currencies.

Other Matters

A significant portion of our sales are outside of the United States. These sales are generated by our non-U.S. based operations, and therefore, movements in foreign currency exchange rates can have a significant effect on our results of operations, which are presented in U.S. dollars. A significant portion of our raw materials purchased by our Electronics and Stoneridge Brazil segments are denominated in U.S. dollars, and therefore movements in foreign currency exchange rates can also have a significant effect on our results of operations. The U.S. Dollar strengthened against the Swedish krona, euro, Brazilian real and Argentine peso in 2020 and 2019, unfavorably impacting our material costs and reported results.

On May 19, 2020, the Company committed to the strategic exit of its Control Devices particulate matter (“PM”) sensor product line (“PM Sensor Exit”). The decision to exit the PM sensor product line was made after the consideration of the decline in the market outlook for diesel passenger vehicles, the current and expected profitability of the product line and the Company’s strategic focus on aligning resources with the greatest opportunities. The estimated costs for the PM Sensor Exit include employee severance and termination costs, contract termination costs, professional fees and other related costs such as potential commercial settlements. Non-cash charges include impairment of fixed assets and accelerated depreciation associated with PM Sensor production. We recognized $2.6 million of expense as a result of this initiative during the three months ended June 30, 2020. The estimated range of additional cost of the plan to exit the PM sensor product line, that will impact the Control Devices segment, is approximately $1.6 million and $4.7 million and is related to employee severance and termination costs, contract terminations costs, other related costs and non-cash fixed asset charges. The Company expects the exit from the PM sensor product line to be completed in the third quarter of 2021.

In January 2019, we committed to a restructuring plan that resulted in the closure of our Canton, Massachusetts facility (“Canton Facility”) as of March 31, 2020 and the consolidation of manufacturing operations at that site into other Company locations (“Canton Restructuring”). The estimated costs for the Canton Restructuring included employee severance and termination costs, contract termination costs, professional fees and other related costs such as moving and set-up costs for equipment and costs to restore the engineering function previously located at the Canton Facility. We recognized $0.5 million and $3.4 million of expense as a result of these actions during the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. We expect to incur additional costs related to the Canton Restructuring of up to $0.6 million through December 2020 primarily to restore the engineering function previously located at the Canton Facility.

In the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company undertook restructuring actions for the Electronics segment affecting the European Aftermarket business and China operations. In the second quarter of 2020, the Company finalized plans to move its European Aftermarket sales activities in Dundee, Scotland to a new location which resulted in incurring contract termination costs as well as employee severance and termination costs. In addition, the Company announced an additional restructuring program to transfer the European production of its Controls product line to China. For the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we recognized expense of $1.6 million and $0.1 million, respectively, as a result of these actions for related costs and non-cash fixed asset charges for accelerated depreciation. The Company expects to incur approximately $5.0 million of additional restructuring costs related to employee severance and termination costs and other related costs for these actions through the second quarter of 2021.

On April 1, 2019, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement by and among the Company, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Stoneridge Control Devices, Inc. (“SCD”), and Standard Motor Products, Inc. (“SMP”). On the same day pursuant to the APA, in exchange for $40.0 million (subject to a post-closing inventory adjustment which was a payment to SMP of $1.6 million) and the assumption of certain liabilities, the Company and SCD sold to SMP product lines and assets related to certain non-core switches and connectors (the “Non-core Products”). On April 1, 2019, the Company and SMP also entered into certain ancillary agreements, including a transition services agreement, a contract manufacturing agreement and a supply agreement, pursuant to which the Company provided and was compensated for certain manufacturing, transitional, administrative and support services to SMP on a short-term basis. The products related to the Non-core Products were manufactured in Juarez, Mexico and Canton, Massachusetts, and include ball switches, ignition switches, rotary switches, courtesy lamps, toggle switches, headlamp switches and other related components.

​

On October 26, 2018 the Company announced a Board of Directors approved share repurchase program authorizing Stoneridge to repurchase up to $50.0 million of our Common Shares. Thereafter, on May 7, 2019, we announced that the Company had entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement with Citibank N.A. to repurchase an aggregate of $50.0 million of our Common Shares. Pursuant to the accelerated share repurchase agreement in the second quarter of 2019 we made an upfront payment of $50.0 million and received an initial delivery of 1,349,528 Common Shares which became treasury shares. On February 25, 2020, Citibank N.A. terminated early its commitment pursuant to the accelerated share repurchase agreement and delivered to the Company, 364,604 Common Shares representing the final settlement of the Company’s repurchase program which became treasury shares.

​

On February 24, 2020, the Board of Directors authorized a new repurchase program of $50.0 million for the repurchase of outstanding Common Shares over an 18 month period. The repurchases may be made from time to time in either open market transactions or in privately negotiated transactions. Repurchases may also be made under rule 10b-18, which permit Common Shares to be repurchased through pre-determined criteria. The timing, volume and nature of common share repurchases will be at the discretion of management, dependent on market conditions, other priorities of cash investment, applicable securities laws and other factors. This Common Share repurchase program authorization does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of its Common Shares, and it may be suspended or discontinued at any time. For the quarter ended March 31, 2020, under the new 2020 repurchase program, the Company repurchased 242,634 Common Shares for $5.0 million in accordance with this repurchase program authorization. In April 2020, the Company announced that it was temporarily suspending the previously announced share repurchase program in response to uncertainty surrounding the duration and magnitude of the impact of COVID-19.

​

In March 2017, the Supreme Court of Brazil issued a decision concluding that a certain state value added tax should not be included in the calculation of federal gross receipts taxes. The decision reduced Stoneridge Brazil’s gross receipts tax prospectively and, potentially, retrospectively. In April 2019, the Company received judicial notification that the Superior Judicial Court of Brazil rendered a favorable decision on Stoneridge Brazil’s case granting the Company the right to recover, through offset of federal tax liabilities, amounts collected by the government from June 2010 to February 2017. Based on the Company’s determination that these tax credits will be used prior to expiration, we recorded a pre-tax benefit of $6.5 million as a reduction to SG&A expense which is inclusive of related interest income of $2.4 million, net of applicable professional fees of $1.0 million in the second quarter of 2019. The Company received administrative approval in January 2020 and is now offsetting eligible federal taxes with these tax credits. The Brazilian tax authorities have sought clarification before the Supreme Court of Brazil (in a leading case involving another taxpayer) of certain matters that could affect the rights of Brazilian taxpayers regarding these credits. The timing for a decision is uncertain due to the COVID-19 pandemic. If the Brazilian tax authorities challenge our rights to these credits, we may become subject to new litigation that could impact the amount ultimately realized by Stoneridge Brazil.

We regularly evaluate the performance of our businesses and their cost structures, including personnel, and make necessary changes thereto in order to optimize our results. We also evaluate the required skill sets of our personnel and periodically make strategic changes. As a consequence of these actions, we incur severance related costs which we refer to as business realignment charges. On May 4, 2020, the Company began business realignment actions that resulted in the reduction of our global salaried workforce by approximately 5.0%. These actions were made to better align our resources and cost structure with our current business opportunities and market outlook as well as respond to COVID-19. One-time separation costs of $2.6 million associated with these and other realignment actions were incurred in the second quarter of 2020.

​

Because of the competitive nature of the markets we serve, we face pricing pressures from our customers in the ordinary course of business. In response to these pricing pressures we have been able to effectively manage our production costs by the combination of lowering certain costs and limiting the increase of others, the net impact of which to date has not been material. However, if we are unable to effectively manage production costs in the future to mitigate future pricing pressures, our results of operations would be adversely affected.

Additionally, Europe and Other sales were unfavorably impacted by foreign currency translation of $0.5 million. The decreases in Europe and Other sales were offset by an increase in China automotive sales of $1.0 million.

Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Margin. Cost of goods sold decreased compared to the second quarter of 2019 and our gross margin decreased from 25.6% in the second quarter of 2019 to 13.3% in the second quarter of 2020. Our material cost as a percentage of net sales remained consistent with the second quarter of 2019 at 53.0%. Overhead as a percentage of net sales increased by 11.8% to 27.0% for the second quarter of 2020 compared to 15.2% for the second quarter of 2019 primarily due to adverse fixed cost leverage on lower sales levels.

Our Control Devices segment gross margin decreased due to lower sales primarily related to the impact of COVID-19 and adverse leverage of fixed costs from lower sales levels.

Our Electronics segment gross margin decreased primarily due to lower sales as a result of COVID-19 and higher overhead costs as a percentage of sales due to adverse leverage of fixed costs.

Our Stoneridge Brazil segment gross margin increased due to favorable sales mix from a higher proportion of monitoring service fees.

Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”). SG&A expenses increased by $0.2 million compared to the second quarter of 2019 due to higher business realignment and restructuring costs of $4.7 million and the 2019 recovery of Brazilian indirect taxes of $6.5 million offset by lower incentive compensation costs, cost reduction actions including lower professional service fees and travel, lower wages from the business realignment actions and the closure of Control Device’s Canton Facility during 2020.

Gain on Disposal of Non-core Products, net. The gain on disposal for the three months ended June 30, 2019 relates to the disposal of Control Devices’ Non-core Products.

Design and Development (“D&D”). D&D costs decreased by $1.7 million due to higher capitalization of software development costs of $0.6 million and lower spending at Control Devices due to the pace of the restoration of the engineering function previously located at the Canton facility.

The decrease in North American net sales was primarily attributable to the impact of COVID-19 and a reduction of $24.3 million from the disposal of Control Devices’ Non-core Products in the second quarter of 2019. Including the impact of COVID-19 and the disposal of Non-core Products, sales volume has decreased in our North American commercial vehicle, automotive and agricultural markets of $36.2 million, $44.6 million and $5.1 million, respectively, as well as a $10.2 million decrease in our Electronics segment off-highway products and other North American volumes of $10.8 million. The decrease in net sales in South America was primarily due to unfavorable foreign currency translation of $6.6 million and lower volumes for our Argentina aftermarket channel and alarm and audio products. The decrease in net sales in Europe and Other was primarily due to a decrease in our European commercial vehicle and off-highway markets of $35.6 million and $9.0 million, respectively, primarily due to COVID-19. Additionally, Europe and Other sales were unfavorably impacted by foreign currency translation of $3.6 million.

​

Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Margin. Cost of goods sold decreased compared to the second quarter of 2019 and our gross margin decreased from 26.7% in the first half of 2019 to 20.8% in the first half of 2020. Our material cost as a percentage of net sales remained consistent with the first half of 2019 at 53.0%. Overhead as a percentage of net sales increased by 5.5% to 20.5% for the first half of 2020 compared to 15.0% for the first half of 2019 primarily due to adverse fixed cost leverage on lower sales levels including COVID-19 related incremental operating costs. Our Canton facility ceased production in accordance with our Canton restructuring plan in December 2019.

Our Control Devices segment gross margin decreased due to lower sales from COVID-19, the adverse impact of the disposal of Non-core Products in the second quarter of 2019, as well as adverse fixed cost leverage on lower sales levels including our Canton facility which ceased production in accordance with our Canton restructuring plan in December 2019 and COVID-19 related incremental operating costs.

Our Electronics segment gross margin decreased primarily due to lower sales as a result of the of COVID-19 pandemic and higher overhead costs from the adverse leverage of fixed costs and COVID-19 related incremental operating costs.

Our Stoneridge Brazil segment gross margin decreased due to lower sales volumes, however gross margin as a percent of sales was consistent with the prior year due to favorable sales mix from a higher proportion of monitoring service fees.

Selling, General and Administrative. SG&A expenses decreased by $5.9 million compared to the first half of 2019 due to lower incentive compensation costs and professional service fees at unallocated corporate, a favorable fair value adjustment for earn-out consideration of $1.2 million at Stoneridge Brazil and staff reductions from the closure of the Canton Facility during 2020 at Control Devices offset by the 2019 recovery of Brazilian indirect taxes of $6.5 million and higher business realignment and restructuring costs of $4.0 million.

Gain on Disposal of Non-core Products, net. The gain on disposal for the six months ended June 30, 2019 relates to the disposal of Control Devices’ Non-core Products.

Design and Development. D&D costs decreased by $2.7 million due to higher capitalization of software development costs of $1.4 million and lower spending at Control Devices due to the pace of the restoration of the engineering function previously located at the Canton facility.

Table of Contents

Our Electronics segment operating income decreased primarily due to lower sales as a result of COVID-19 resulting in lower gross margin. Electronics SG&A cost reductions were offset by business realignment and restructuring expenses.

Our Stoneridge Brazil segment operating income decreased primarily from the 2019 recovery of Brazilian indirect taxes of $6.5 million due lower sales volumes and margin offset by a favorable fair value adjustment for earn-out consideration of $1.2 million recognized in the first quarter of 2020.

Our unallocated corporate operating loss decreased primarily from lower incentive compensation and professional fees. Operating (loss) income by geographic location is summarized in the following table (in thousands):

Our North American operating results decreased due to lower sales in our automotive, commercial vehicle and off-highway markets, adverse leverage of fixed costs and COIVD-19 related incremental operating costs. The increase in operating income in South America was primarily due to the 2019 recovery of indirect Brazilian taxes and lower sales volumes offset by the favorable fair value adjustment for earn-out consideration. Our operating results in Europe and Other decreased primarily due to lower sales in our commercial vehicle and off-highway markets, adverse leverage of fixed costs and COIVD-19 related incremental operating costs.

Interest Expense, net. Interest expense, net increased by 0.4 million compared to the first half of 2019 due to an increase in borrowings under our 2019 Credit Facility.

Equity in Earnings of Investee. Equity earnings for MSIL were $0.2 million and $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The decrease in MSIL earnings was due to lower sales volume from the COVID-19 pandemic in the second quarter.

Other Income, net. We record certain foreign currency transaction (gains) losses as a component of other income, net on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Other income, net increased by $1.1 million to $1.6 million in the first half of 2020 compared to other income, net of $0.5 million for the first half of 2019 primarily due to higher foreign currency transaction gains in our Electronics segment.

(Benefit) provision for Income Taxes. In the six months ended June 30, 2020, income tax benefit of $(5.5) million was attributable to the mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions partially offset by the establishment of a valuation allowance. The effective tax rate of 23.2% is greater than the statutory rate primarily due to the impact of certain incentives.

​

In the six months ended June 30, 2019, income tax expense of $10.9 million was attributable to the sale of Non-core-Products on April 1, 2019. The effective tax rate of 18.1% is lower than the statutory rate primarily due to certain tax incentives.

Cash used for operating activities increased compared to the first half of 2019 primarily due to lower net income and the payment of dividends to former noncontrolling interest holders of Stoneridge Brazil of $6.0 million offset by a reduction in cash used to fund working capital levels. Our receivable terms and collections rates have remained consistent between periods presented.

Net cash used for investing activities increased compared to 2019 due to proceeds from the 2019 sale of Control Devices Non-core Switch and Connector products and the capitalization of $1.4 million of software development cost offset by lower capital expenditures and lower investments in the Autotech venture capital fund.

Net cash provided by financing activities increased compared to the prior year primarily due to higher net 2019 Credit Facility borrowings of $35.0 million partially offset by the repurchase of $5.0 million of Common Shares in the first quarter of 2020. In 2019 we repurchased $50.0 million of our Common Shares and made a cash payment for Orlaco earn-out consideration. The current year increase in borrowings under the 2019 Credit Facility were to maintain a high level of liquidity due to adverse economic conditions caused by COVID-19.

As outlined in Note 7 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, the 2019 Credit Facility increased our borrowing capacity by $100.0 million and permits borrowing up to a maximum level of $400.0 million. This variable rate facility provides the flexibility to refinance other outstanding debt or finance acquisitions through June 2024. The 2019 Credit Facility contains certain financial covenants that require the Company to maintain less than a maximum leverage ratio and more than a minimum interest coverage ratio. The 2019 Credit Facility also contains affirmative and negative covenants and events of default that are customary for credit arrangements of this type including covenants which place restrictions and/or limitations on the Company’s ability to borrow money, make capital expenditures and pay dividends. The 2019 Credit Facility had an outstanding balance of $161.0 million at June 30, 2020.

​

Due to the expected impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s end-markets and the resulting expected financial impacts on the Company, on June 26, 2020, the Company entered into a Waiver and Amendment No. 1 to the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Amendment No. 1”). Amendment No. 1 provides for certain covenant relief and restrictions during the “Covenant Relief Period” (the period ending on the date that the Company delivers a compliance certificate for the quarter ending June 30, 2021). During the Covenant Relief Period:

​

| ● | the maximum net leverage ratio is suspended;

| ● | the calculation of the minimum interest coverage ratio will exclude second quarter 2020 financial results effective for the quarters ended September 30, 2020 through March 31, 2021;

| ● | the minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.50 is reduced to 2.75 and 3.25 for the quarters ended December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2021, respectively;

| ● | the Company’s liquidity may not be less than $150,000;

| ● | the Company’s aggregate amount of cash and cash equivalents cannot exceed $130,000;

| ● | there are certain restrictions on Restricted Payments (as defined); and

| ● | a Permitted Acquisition (as defined) may be not consummated unless otherwise approved in writing by the required lenders.

​

Amendment No. 1 increases the leverage based LIBOR pricing grid through the maturity date and also provides for a LIBOR floor of 50 basis points on outstanding borrowings excluding any Specified Hedge Borrowings (as defined) which remain subject to a LIBOR floor of 0 basis points.

​

The Company was in compliance with all covenants at June 30, 2020. The Company has not experienced a violation which would limit the Company’s ability to borrow under the 2019 Credit Facility (as amended) and does not expect that the covenants under it will restrict the Company’s financing flexibility. However, it is possible that future borrowing flexibility under the 2019 Credit Facility may be limited as a result of lower than expected financial performance due to the adverse impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s markets and general global demand. The Company expects to make additional repayments on the Credit Facility when cash exceeds the amount needed for operations.

​

Stoneridge Brazil maintains short-term and long-term loans used for working capital purposes. At June 30, 2020, there was $1.5 million of Stoneridge Brazil debt outstanding. Scheduled principal repayments on Stoneridge Brazil debt at June 30, 2020 were as follows: $1.3 million from July 2020 to June 2021 and $0.2 million from July 2021 to December 2021.

In December 2019, Stoneridge Brazil established an overdraft credit line which allows overdrafts on Stoneridge Brazil’s bank account up to a maximum level of Brazilian real 5.0 million, or $1.2 million, at December 31, 2019. There was no balance outstanding on the overdraft credit line as of December 31, 2019, and the overdraft credit line was terminated as of June 30, 2020.

The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary located in Stockholm, Sweden, has an overdraft credit line which allows overdrafts on the subsidiary’s bank account up to a maximum level of 20.0 million Swedish krona, or $2.1 million, at both June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there was no balance outstanding on this overdraft credit line however, during the six months ended June 30, 2020, the subsidiary borrowed and repaid 126.7 Swedish krona, or $13.1 million.

The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary located in Suzhou, China, has two credit lines which allow up to a maximum borrowing level of 50.0 million Chinese yuan, or $7.1 million at June 30, 2020 and 40.0 million Chinese yuan, or $5.7 million at December 31, 2019.

In addition, the Suzhou subsidiary has a bank acceptance draft line of credit which allows up to a maximum borrowing level of 15.0 million Chinese yuan, or $2.1 million and $2.2 million at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. At June 30, 2020 there was no funding utilized on the Suzhou bank acceptance draft line and at December 31, 2019 there was approximately $150 utilized on the Suzhou bank acceptance draft line of credit.

On May 19, 2020, the Company committed to the strategic exit of its Control Devices PM sensor product line. The estimated costs for the PM Sensor Exit include employee severance and termination costs, contract termination costs, professional fees and other related costs such as potential commercial settlements. Non-cash charges include impairment of fixed assets and accelerated depreciation associated with PM Sensor production. We recognized $2.6 million of expense as a result of this initiative during the three months ended June 30, 2020. The estimated range of additional cost of the plan to exit the PM sensor product line, that will impact the Control Devices segment, is approximately $1.6 million to $4.7 million and is related to employee severance and termination costs, contract terminations costs, other related costs and non-cash fixed asset charges. The Company expects the exit from the PM sensor product line to be completed in the third quarter of 2021.

In the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company undertook restructuring actions for the Electronics segment affecting the European Aftermarket business and China operations. In the second quarter of 2020, the Company finalized plans to move its European Aftermarket sales activities in Dundee, Scotland to a new location which resulted in incurring contract termination costs as well as employee severance and termination costs. In addition, the Company announced an additional restructuring program to transfer the European production of its Controls product line to China. For the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we recognized expense of $1.6 million and $0.1 million, respectively, as a result of these actions for related costs and non-cash fixed asset charges for accelerated depreciation fixed assets. The Company expects to incur approximately $5.0 million of additional restructuring costs related to employee severance and termination costs and other related costs for these actions through the second quarter of 2021.

On October 26, 2018 the Company announced a Board of Directors approved repurchase program authorizing Stoneridge to repurchase up to $50.0 million of our Common Shares. Thereafter, on May 7, 2019, we announced that the Company had entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement with Citibank N.A. to repurchase an aggregate of $50.0 million of our Common Shares. Pursuant to the accelerated share repurchase agreement in the second quarter of 2019 we made an upfront payment of $50.0 million and received an initial delivery of 1,349,528 Common Shares which became treasury shares. On February 25, 2020, Citibank N.A. terminated early its commitment pursuant to the accelerated share repurchase agreement and delivered to the Company, 364,604 Common Shares representing the final settlement of the Company’s repurchase program which became treasury shares.

​

On February 24, 2020, the Board of Directors authorized a new repurchase program for $50.0 million of outstanding Common Shares over an 18 month period. The repurchases may be made from time to time in either open market transactions or in privately negotiated transactions. Repurchases may also be made under rule 10b-18, which permit Common Shares to be repurchased through pre-determined criteria. The timing, volume and nature of common share repurchases will be at the discretion of management, dependent on market conditions, other priorities of cash investment, applicable securities laws and other factors. This Common Share repurchase program authorization does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of its Common Shares, and it may be suspended or discontinued at any time. For the quarter ended March 31, 2020, the Company repurchased 242,634 Common Shares for $5.0 million in accordance with this repurchase program authorization. In April 2020, the Company announced that was temporarily suspending the previously announced share repurchase program in response to uncertainty surrounding the duration and magnitude of the impact of COVID-19.

​

In January 2020, Stoneridge Brazil paid dividends to former noncontrolling interest holders of Brazilian real (“R$”) 24,154 ($6,010) as of December 31, 2019. The dividends payable balance included R$0.6 ($0.2) in monetary correction for the six months ended June 30, 2019 based on the Brazilian National Extended Consumer Price inflation index. The dividend payable related to Stoneridge Brazil was recorded within other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019. See Note 14 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional details.

In December 2018, the Company entered into an agreement to make a $10.0 million investment in a fund managed by Autotech Ventures (“Autotech”), a venture capital firm focused on ground transportation technology. The Company’s $10.0 million investment in the Autotech fund will be contributed over the expected ten-year life of the fund. As of June 30, 2020, the Company’s cumulative investment in the Autotech fund was $2.9 million. The Company contributed $0.8 million and $1.2 million to the Autotech fund during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Our future results could also be adversely affected by unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We have significant foreign denominated transaction exposure in certain locations, especially in Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Sweden, Estonia, the Netherlands, United Kingdom and China. We have entered into foreign currency forward contracts to reduce our exposure related to certain foreign currency fluctuations. See Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional details. Our future results could also be unfavorably affected by increased commodity prices as commodity fluctuations impact the cost of our raw material purchases.

At June 30, 2020, we had a cash and cash equivalents balance of approximately $72.4 million, of which 76.5% was held in foreign locations. The increase in cash and cash equivalents from $69.4 million at December 31, 2019 was primarily due to net borrowings on the 2019 Credit Facility. The Company has approximately $237.0 million of undrawn commitments under the 2019 Credit Facility as of June 30, 2020, which results in total undrawn commitments and cash balances of more than $309.0 million. However, despite the June 26, 2020 amendment, it is possible that future borrowing flexibility under our 2019 Credit Facility may be limited as a result of our financial performance due the adverse impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s markets and general global demand.

Commitments and Contingencies

See Note 10 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for disclosures of the Company’s commitments and contingencies.

Seasonality

Our Control Devices and Electronics segments are not typically affected by seasonality, however the demand for our Stoneridge Brazil segment consumer products is typically higher in the second half of the year, the fourth quarter in particular.

PART II–OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are involved in certain legal actions and claims primarily arising in the ordinary course of business. Although it is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome of these matters, we do not believe that any of the litigation in which we are currently engaged, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated financial position or results of operations. We are subject to litigation regarding civil, labor, and other tax contingencies in our Stoneridge Brazil segment for which we believe the likelihood of loss is reasonably possible, but not probable, although these claims might take years to resolve. In addition, we are subject to litigation regarding patent infringement. We are also subject to the risk of exposure to product liability claims in the event that the failure of any of our products causes personal injury or death to users of our products as well as product warranty and recall claims. There can be no assurance that we will not experience any material losses related to product liability, warranty or recall claims. In addition, if any of our products prove to be defective, we may be required to participate in a government-imposed or customer OEM-instituted recall involving such products. See additional details of these matters in Note 10 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes with respect to risk factors previously disclosed in the Company’s 2019 Form 10-K with the exception of adding the following risk factor:

We face risks related to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic that could adversely affect our business, results of operation and financial condition.

In December 2019, a novel strain of the coronavirus (COVID-19) was reported to have been detected in Wuhan, China and on March 11, 2020 it was declared by the World Health Organization to be a global pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a negative impact on the global economy, disrupting the financial markets and increasing volatility, and has impeded global supply chains, restricted manufacturing operations and resulted in significantly reduced economic activity and higher unemployment rates. It has disrupted, and may continue to disrupt for an indefinite period of time, the global vehicle industry and customer sales, production volumes and purchases of automotive, commercial, off-highway, motorcycle and agricultural vehicles by end-consumers. The COVID-19 pandemic began to impact our operations in the first quarter of 2020 and is likely to continue to adversely affect our business as government authorities continue to impose mandatory closures, work-from-home orders, social distancing protocols, and other restrictions to combat the spread of the virus. As a result, we have modified our production schedules and have experienced, and may continue to experience, delays in the production and distribution of our products and the loss or delay of customers’ sales. If the global economic effects caused by COVID-19 continue or increase, overall customer demand may continue to decrease, which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operation and financial condition. In addition, if a significant portion of our workforce or our customers’ workforce are affected by COVID-19, either directly or due to government closures or otherwise, associated work stoppages or facility closures could halt or further delay production in our facilities, including our manufacturing facility in Juarez, Mexico which is currently producing at a limited capacity due to a Mexican governmental decree. Moreover, concerns over the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic have also caused extreme volatility in financial and other capital markets which has and may continue to adversely impact our stock price and our ability to access the capital markets. The full extent of the effect of COVID-19 on our customers, our supply chain and our business, in either scope or duration, cannot be assessed at this time although we expect our full year 2020 results of operations and financial condition to be adversely affected by COVID-19.
