What matters this quarter

Key moments

Jump directly to management's words in the synchronized transcript.

“We are proud of our ability to continuously outperform our end markets even in a significantly challenged production environment while also limiting the impact on our bottom line. Our outperformance was primarily driven by continued momentum with MirrorEye resulting in sales of over $110,000,000, or approximately 70% growth compared to the prior year.” James Zizelman, CEO
“Earlier this year, we announced that we completed the sale of our Control Devices segment for a base purchase price of $59,000,000, reflecting an important milestone for the company's long-term strategy. As a result of this sale, Stoneridge, Inc. will now focus its resources on our highest growth and highest return businesses and reduce overall organizational complexity, leading to a clear, focused strategy for the company.” James Zizelman, CEO
