CVG REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2021 RESULTS
Record Quarterly Sales of $245.1 million
Estimated $100 million of Net New Annualized Business Secured in First Quarter
NEW ALBANY, OHIO (May 4, 2021) - CVG (NASDAQ: CVGI), a diversified industrial products and services company, today announced financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2021.
First Quarter 2021 Highlights (Compared with prior-year period, where comparisons are noted)
•Revenue of $245.1 million, up 31.0% driven by new business wins, demand growth in warehouse automation, and demand growth in global vehicle markets.
•Operating Income of $15.4 million, up $41.9 million primarily due to higher sales volume in Q1 2021 and an impairment taken of $28.9 million in Q1 2020 that did not reoccur.
•Adjusted operating income of $15.8 million, up $8.7 million or 122.5% due to higher volume and an improved cost structure driven by 2020 restructuring actions.
•Net income of $8.5 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, an increase of $1.06 per share.
•Adjusted EBITDA of $21.1 million, up $10.1 million due to higher volumes, lower costs and improved sales mix.
•Warehouse automation revenues grew to $41.9 million, representing 17.1% of Company sales in Q1 2021.
•Estimated $100 million of net new annualized business awarded to the company in Q1 2021, driven by electric vehicle platform wins that are longer cycle awards.
•Subsequent to quarter end, the Company refinanced its debt with a new bank group and a new flexible design that enables us to have up to $200 million of acquisition capital. The refinancing will reduce future interest expense by $3.1 million per quarter. This is a major milestone in our business transformation program.
Harold Bevis, President and Chief Executive Officer of CVG, said, “We reported record sales in Q1 2021 due to strong demand in the company's legacy markets, growth in the company's target markets and new business awards. Our success can be seen in our warehouse automation business which grew revenues 22% quarter over quarter to $41.9 million and remains on track to meet or exceed our full year 2021 goal of $150 million. Additionally, our expertise designing, developing and building value-added products offers significant value to companies in the e-commerce transportation network and automated warehousing. With the majority of our $100 million of net new annual business wins in the quarter outside of internal combustion engine truck, we continue to make progress towards our goal of reducing the cyclicality in our business and turning CVG into a secular growth business. Looking forward, we see some customers moderating their production outlooks as a result of semiconductor chip and material shortages as well as cost inflation due to dislocations in the supply chain. While demand and orders are robust, we see headwinds with regards to increasing production rates, raw material inflation, labor inflation and freight inflation."
Chris Bohnert, Chief Financial Officer, commented, "While we delivered record sales in the first quarter, we also maintained our expense discipline which resulted in 260 basis points of adjusted
operating margin expansion as compared to the year ago first quarter. Our first quarter adjusted operating margin of 6.4% also included $1.1 million of new business startup costs which suppressed our margin by 40 basis points. Additionally, I am very pleased we were able to close on our $275 million senior secured credit facility on April 30, 2021. This refinance will significantly reduce our interest expense and provide greater financial flexibility for our future growth.

Consolidated Results
First Quarter 2021 Results
•First quarter 2021 revenues were $245.1 million compared to $187.1 million in the prior year period, an increase of 31.0%. The increase in revenues reflected the significant increase in the warehouse automation business and the improving global vehicle end markets. Foreign currency translation also favorably impacted first quarter of 2021 revenues by $4.3 million, or by 2.3%.
•Operating income for the first quarter 2021 was $15.4 million compared to an operating loss of $26.5 million in the prior year period. The increase in operating income is primarily attributable to higher sales volume, an improved cost structure and an impairment of $28.9 million taken in the prior year period that did not reoccur. The first quarter of 2021 adjusted operating income was $15.8 million, excluding special charges.
•Interest associated with debt and other expenses was $5.0 million and $4.6 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
•Net income was $8.5 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, for the first quarter 2021 compared to net loss $24.6 million, or $(0.80) per diluted share, in the prior year period.
At March 31, 2021, the Company had $6.8 million outstanding borrowings on its revolving credit facility and had $38.1 million of cash and $81.9 million of availability from the revolving credit facility, resulting in liquidity of $120.0 million.
Subsequent to quarter end, on April 30, 2021, the Company closed on $275 million in senior secured credit facilities, consisting of a $150 million Term Loan A and a $125 million Revolving Credit Facility. The Company used a portion of the proceeds to pay off its existing Term Loan B and Asset Backed Loan Facility which had outstanding principle of $151.6 million and $11.3 million, respectively, at April 30, 2021. On a proforma basis at March 31, 2021, the Company's liquidity would have been $154.7 million under its new credit facility.

First Quarter 2021 Results
•Revenues for the Electrical Systems segment in the first quarter 2021 were $162.2 million compared to $112.1 million for the prior year period, an increase of 44.7% primarily as a result of business growth in warehouse automation and improved demand in the global wire harness business, especially construction equipment.

•Operating income for the first quarter 2021 was $14.9 million compared to operating loss of $17.1 million in the prior year period. The increase in operating income was primarily attributable to increased sales and an impairment taken in the prior year that did not reoccur.

First Quarter 2021 Results
•Revenues for the Global Seating segment in the first quarter of 2021 were $91.1 million compared to $76.0 million in the prior year period, an increase of 19.9% due to the improving global commercial vehicle end markets, particularly in Asia Pacific and Europe.

•Operating income for the first quarter of 2021 was $5.5 million compared to operating loss of $0.4 million in the prior year period. The increase in operating income is primarily attributable to higher sales volume and an impairment taken in the prior year that did not reoccur.
2021 Demand Outlook
The demand outlook for the Company's legacy vehicle markets is favorable. According to a April 2021 report by ACT Research, a publisher of industry market research, 2020 North American Class 8 truck build production was 214,250 units and Class 5-7 production was 223,721 units. 2021 North American Class 8 truck production levels are expected to be at 303,000 units and Class 5-7 production are expected to be at 250,000 units. This outlook supports demand for the Company’s vehicle products.
The demand outlook for the Company’s entrance into the electric vehicle market is favorable. Many global electric vehicle platforms are underway across the spectrum of vehicle types. Adoption rates are forecast to increase and supports continuance of the Company's efforts aimed at partnering with Electric Vehicle makers to help them develop and produce these vehicles and make use of the Company’s full product basket of the following: entire electrical systems for the chassis and powertrain, seating solutions, headliners, interior trim, mirrors, wipers, floormats, and road sensors.
The demand outlook for the Company’s warehouse automation products is favorable. According to LogisticsIQ, demand for warehouse automation products is expected to grow approximately 14%
annually through 2026. This outlook supports demand for the Company's warehouse automation products.

This earnings release contains financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). In general, the non-GAAP measures exclude items that (i) management believes reflect the Company’s multi-year corporate activities; or (ii) relate to activities or actions that may have occurred over multiple or in prior periods without predictable trends. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to evaluate the Company’s performance, engage in financial and operational planning and to determine incentive compensation.
Management provides these non-GAAP financial measures to investors as supplemental metrics to assist readers in assessing the effects of items and events on the Company’s financial and operating results and in comparing the Company’s performance to that of its competitors and to comparable reporting periods. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.
The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations to those financial statements set forth above should be carefully evaluated.
