ITEM 2.02Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

 

On May 6, 2020, Stoneridge, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020.  A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. On May 7, 2020, members of the Company’s management will hold a first quarter 2020 earnings conference call to discuss the Company’s financial results and the presentation attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2, will accompany management’s comments.

 

The press release and earnings conference call presentation contain certain non-GAAP financial measures Adjusted Sales, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Margin, Adjusted Income Before Tax, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share (“Adjusted EPS”), Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”), Net Debt and Adjusted Tax Rate. Management believes that the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures used in the press release and earnings conference call presentation are useful to both management and investors in their analysis of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and expected results of operations because the Adjusted Sales, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Income Before Tax, Adjusted Operating Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA, Net Debt and Adjusted Tax Rate non-GAAP financial measures facilitate a period to period comparison of operating results by excluding significant unusual, non-recurring items in 2020 and 2019. For 2020, these items relate to the after-tax and pre-tax share-based compensation accelerated vesting, after-tax and pre-tax change in fair value of the earn-out consideration related to the acquisition of the remaining 26% minority interest in PST, after-tax and pre-tax restructuring costs, after-tax and pre-tax business realignment costs, after-tax and pre-tax gain in fair value of equity investment and the after-tax impact of valuation allowance release. For 2019, these items relate to the sales from disposed Non-core Products, pre-tax gain from disposal of Non-core Products, pre-tax change in fair value of the earn-out consideration related to the acquisition of the remaining 26% minority interest in PST, pre-tax restructuring costs, pre-tax business realignment costs and pre-tax gain in fair value of equity investment. These non-GAAP financial measures, however, should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most comparable GAAP financial measures. Investors are cautioned that non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Adjusted Sales, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Margin, Adjusted Income Before Tax, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA, Net Debt and Adjusted Tax Rate should not be considered a substitute for Sales, Gross Profit, Operating Income, Operating Margin, Income Before Tax, Net Income, Earnings per Share, Debt or Tax Rate prepared in accordance with GAAP.

NOVI, Mich. – May 6, 2020 – Stoneridge, Inc. (NYSE: SRI) today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020, with sales of $183.0 million and earnings per diluted share (EPS) of $0.13. Adjusted EPS was $0.20 for the first quarter, considering normalizing adjustments primarily related to fair value adjustments and restructuring expenses. The exhibits attached hereto provide additional detail on the normalizing adjustments.

 

For the first quarter of 2020, Stoneridge reported gross profit of $45.4 million and adjusted gross profit of $47.0 million (25.7% of sales) which was an improvement of 170 basis points relative to the fourth quarter of 2019. Operating income was $3.7 million and adjusted operating income was $6.0 million (3.3% of sales). Adjusted EBITDA was $16.1 million (8.8% of sales).

 

The Company estimated that the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic reduced sales by $16.0 million and operating income by $4.7 million (210 basis points) in the first quarter based on expected customer sales and operating performance prior to the global response to limit the spread of the virus.

 

Jon DeGaynor, president and chief executive officer, commented, “In the first quarter we drove improved adjusted gross margin as we significantly reduced our material and overhead costs leading to adjusted gross margin improvement of 170 basis points relative to the fourth quarter of last year. As a result of these actions and continued strong top-line performance, we were on track for a strong first quarter. Similar to other companies in our industry and around the world, we began experiencing the effects of the global COVID-19 pandemic first in China in the beginning of the quarter, followed by North America and Europe in late-March. To ensure the continued safety of our employees, meet the changing needs of our customers, as well as adhere to federal, state and local laws, we have been working to adjust our facilities and operations, which has included reduced schedules, reduced plant utilization and suspending production in some cases. We have taken several actions to temporarily reduce costs to drive 2020 financial performance and preserve cash, such as reducing our workforce related costs at the facilities impacted.”

DeGaynor continued, “In addition to the temporary cost reduction measures taken, earlier this week we took more permanent actions and reduced our global salaried workforce by approximately five percent. We expect that these reductions will help right size our current cost structure, align our resources with forecasted market conditions and aid our pursuit of profitable growth. We will continue to invest the necessary capital and resources to ensure the successful launch of our strong backlog of new business and continue to build upon the technologies and platforms that will support future growth. Stoneridge remains well positioned to capitalize on the industry megatrends that will drive outperformance of our underlying markets going-forward.”

 

First Quarter in Review

Control Devices sales totaled $98.2 million, an increase of $4.7 million relative to the fourth quarter of 2019. The Company estimated that the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic reduced Control Devices sales by $10.9 million in the first quarter. First quarter adjusted operating margin was 10.1%. The Company estimated that the impact of the pandemic reduced Control Devices operating income by $3.3 million (200 basis points) in the first quarter.

 

Electronics sales totaled $79.8 million, which was flat relative to the fourth quarter of 2019. The Company estimated that the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic reduced Electronics sales by $4.5 million in the first quarter. First quarter adjusted operating margin was 3.6%, which was an increase of 260 basis points relative to the fourth quarter of 2019 driven primarily by reduced material and overhead costs. The Company estimated that the impact of the pandemic reduced Electronics operating income by $1.3 million (140 basis points) in the first quarter.

 

Stoneridge Brazil sales of $14.6 million decreased relative to the prior quarter due to lower demand in the aftermarket and mass retail product lines, due in part to seasonality and holiday demand, partially offset by growth in the OEM business. The ramp-up of a new OEM program that launched in late 2019 drove approximately 48% growth in the OEM business relative to the fourth quarter of 2019. Stoneridge Brazil adjusted operating margin increased by 50 basis points relative to the fourth quarter of 2019 despite the reduction in sales. The Company estimated that the pandemic negatively impacted Stoneridge Brazil sales by $0.2 million and operating income by $0.1 million (40 basis points) in the first quarter.

 

Cash and Debt Balances

At March 31, 2020, Stoneridge had cash and cash equivalents balances totaling $81.3 million. Total debt as of March 31, 2020 was $163.8 million. Total debt less cash and cash equivalents yielded a current net debt to trailing-twelve-month adjusted EBITDA ratio of approximately 1.1x. The Company had approximately $239 million of undrawn commitments under the U.S. revolving credit facility as of March 31, 2020, which resulted in total undrawn commitments and cash balances of more than $320 million. However, it is possible that future borrowing capacity under the U.S. revolving credit facility may be limited as a result of financial performance due to the adverse impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s markets and general global demand.

 

The increase in cash and cash equivalents in the first quarter of 2020 relative to the fourth quarter of 2019 was primarily due to an increase in net borrowings under the credit facility to maintain a high level of liquidity due to the uncertain conditions surrounding COVID-19. Additionally, before the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company repurchased 242,634 shares in the first quarter for approximately $5.0 million. Finally, the Company is temporarily suspending the previously announced share repurchase authorization in response to uncertainty surrounding the duration and magnitude of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

2020 Outlook

Bob Krakowiak, chief financial officer, commented, “On March 30, 2020 we announced the withdrawal of our 2020 guidance due to the uncertainty surrounding the global environment as a result of COVID-19. We will revisit guidance when we have the ability to more clearly define the expected impact of COVID-19 to Stoneridge. Based on current production forecasts we are expecting OEM weighted-average production levels to decline by approximately 23% in 2020 relative to the forecasts we were utilizing in our initial guidance, which implied midpoint revenue guidance of approximately $760 million for 2020. As we have discussed previously, we expect incremental and decremental contribution margins of approximately 2.5x – 3.0x our EBITDA margins on changes in volume. Due to the temporary and structural cost reduction actions we have taken, we expect the impact of reduced volumes to be on the low-end of that range. We continue to evaluate opportunities to preserve cash in the short-term and adjust our cost structure as necessary to align with current and expected market conditions. Our balance sheet remains strong and we believe that we are well positioned financially to withstand the downturn in expected production volumes.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
This press release contains information about the Company’s financial results which is not presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (”GAAP”). Such non-GAAP financial measures are reconciled to their closest GAAP financial measures at the end of this press release. The provision of these non-GAAP financial measures for 2020 and 2019 is not intended to indicate that Stoneridge is explicitly or implicitly providing projections on those non-GAAP financial measures, and actual results for such measures are likely to vary from those presented. The reconciliations include all information reasonably available to the Company at the date of this press release and the adjustments that management can reasonably predict.

 

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

 

Adjusted sales, adjusted gross profit and margin, adjusted operating income and margin, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share, adjusted EBITDA, net debt, adjusted income before tax and adjusted tax rate should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for sales, gross profit, operating income, net income, earnings per share, debt, income before tax or tax rate prepared in accordance with GAAP.
