NOVI, Mich. – February 28, 2024 – Stoneridge, Inc. (NYSE: SRI) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2023, with sales of $229.5 million and earnings per share of $0.11. Adjusted sales for the fourth quarter were $229.4 million and adjusted earnings per share were $0.12. This results in full-year sales of $975.8 million with a loss per share of $(0.19).

The exhibits attached hereto provide reconciliation detail on normalizing adjustments of non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release.
For the fourth quarter of 2023, Stoneridge reported gross profit of $45.5 million and adjusted gross profit of $45.7 million (19.9% of adjusted sales). Operating income was $6.0 million and adjusted operating income was $6.2 million (2.7% of adjusted sales). Adjusted EBITDA was $15.6 million (6.8% of adjusted sales),
For the full-year ended December 31 2023, Stoneridge reported gross profit of $201.3 million and adjusted gross profit of $202.1 million (21.0% of adjusted sales). Operating income was $12.8 million and adjusted

operating income was $16.2 million (1.7% of adjusted sales). Adjusted EBITDA was $48.1 million (5.0% of adjusted sales) an increase of 150 basis points relative to the full-year 2022.
Jim Zizelman, president and chief executive officer, commented, “In the fourth quarter, we delivered on our previously provided EPS expectations driving sequential improvement from the third quarter. In 2023, we faced significant macroeconomic headwinds specifically related to the UAW strike, and the slower-than-expected rate of penetration for electric vehicles. That said, we delivered on the financial commitments we outlined at the beginning of the year, driven by the execution of our new program launches and the ramp-up of recently launched programs, continuous improvement in our manufacturing facilities and the execution of operating expense initiatives to both reduce cost and improve efficiency. Looking forward, we will continue to evaluate our cost structure and organization to ensure that we are optimizing cost and organizational capability. Finally, we remain focused on efficient cash generation and specifically, reducing our inventory to generate incremental cash as we continue to grow. As a result, we have set ourselves up for continued strong performance in 2024.”
Zizelman continued, “We remain focused on executing our long-term growth strategy. By leveraging our drivetrain agnostic technologies and our products aligned with industry megatrends, we expect to drive outsized growth over the long-term. Contributing to this growth are our MirrorEye® and Smart 2 tachograph products, both of which launched on significant platforms this year and will continue to grow in both the OEM and aftermarket channels going forward. Earlier this week, we announced our next OEM MirrorEye programs will be launching with Volvo in Europe in mid-2024 and in North America in early 2025. Earlier this month, we announced the extension of our Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) exemption for an additional 5 years which will allow our US-based fleet partners to maximize on the safety and fuel economy benefits of MirrorEye. Today, we are announcing three additional fleet partnerships with PS Logistics, Stokes Trucking and Cargo Transporters. These fleets understand the significant safety and fuel economy benefits of MirrorEye and have committed to equipping all of their long-haul trucks with MirrorEye over time. Furthermore, our Smart 2 tachograph launched earlier this year providing significant growth opportunities aligned with regulatory changes and requirements over the next several years.”
Zizelman concluded, “We have a strong backlog, products aligned with industry megatrends and drivetrain agnostic technologies that will allow us to continue to grow as market preferences and customer platforms continue to evolve. We continue to focus on operational improvements and material cost reductions to drive gross margin expansion while we leverage our existing cost structure to expand operating margin as we grow. While we made a significant amount of progress in 2023, we are expecting continued improvement in 2024. Stoneridge remains well positioned to outpace our underlying end market growth and drive significant earnings expansion going-forward.”
Fourth Quarter in Review
Control Devices sales of $75.4 million decreased by 12.2% relative to the fourth quarter of 2022. This decrease was primarily due to lower sales in the North American passenger vehicle end market due in part to the UAW strike as well as reduced electric vehicle production volumes, partially offset by higher sales in China. Fourth quarter adjusted operating margin of 1.2% declined by 520 basis points relative to the fourth quarter of 2022, primarily due to unfavorable fixed cost leverage as a result of decreased sales as well as incremental costs incurred related to a distressed supplier.
Electronics adjusted sales of $146.8 million increased by 8.9% relative to the fourth quarter of 2022. This increase was primarily driven by higher customer production volumes and the launch of new programs and ramp-up of existing programs in the European and North American commercial vehicle end markets, along with favorable foreign currency translation, partially offset by lower sales in the European and North American off-highway end markets. Fourth quarter adjusted operating margin of 7.5% improved by 380 basis points relative to the fourth quarter of 2022, primarily due to higher contribution from incremental sales, direct material cost
2
improvements including the impact of price increases and lower D&D costs due to the timing of customer reimbursements.
Stoneridge Brazil sales of $13.9 million increased by 6.4% relative to sales in the fourth quarter of 2022. This increase was primarily due to favorable foreign currency translation and higher sales in local OEM products. Fourth quarter adjusted operating margin of 7.0% increased by approximately 100 basis points relative to the fourth quarter of 2022, primarily due to higher sales and lower material costs.
Cash and Debt Balances
As of December 31, 2023, Stoneridge had cash and cash equivalents balances totaling $40.8 million. Total debt as of December 31, 2023 was $191.5 million resulting in net debt of $150.6 million. Per the terms of our Credit Facility, the Company remains compliant with the required covenants and reported a net debt to trailing twelve-month EBITDA compliance ratio of 3.13x.
The Company continues to focus on operating performance and working capital improvement to drive cash performance, particularly related to inventory reduction. As a result, the Company expects a net debt to EBITDA ratio for compliance purposes of 2.0x - 2.5x by the end of 2024.
2024 Outlook
The Company is issuing guidance ranges for its full-year 2024 performance including sales guidance of $990 million to $1,010 million, gross margin guidance of 22.0% to 22.75%, operating margin guidance of 2.75% to 3.25%, earnings per share guidance of $0.30 to $0.40 and EBITDA guidance of $64 million to $70 million, or 6.5% to 6.9% of sales.
Matt Horvath, chief financial officer, commented “Our midpoint revenue guidance of $1 billion results in approximately 4% growth relative to 2023, which outpaces our weighted-average OEM end markets which are expected to decline by 5%. We expect continued strong growth primarily due to the launch of MirrorEye with Peterbilt in North America and with Volvo in Europe mid-year. We expect that our Smart 2 tachograph platform will continue to grow in both OEM and aftermarket applications as regulations continue to drive adoption in Europe.”
Horvath continued, “We expect strong contribution margins on our growth as we continue to focus on operational improvement and material cost reduction actions to drive gross margin expansion. Similarly, the annualized impact of the cost actions taken last year in addition to our continued focus on an optimized structure from both a resources and cost perspective, are expected to drive operating leverage on continued growth. Driven primarily by our expected revenue growth, focus on gross margin improvement and leveraging our global footprint to maximize our capabilities and output, we expect EBITDA margin expansion of 150 to 190 basis points relative to 2023 resulting in EBITDA of $64 million to $70 million in 2024.”
Horvath concluded, “Finally, we are reaffirming and advancing the long-term targets we outlined last year as we expect 2028 revenue of $1.45 billion and EBITDA margin of 13.0% at the midpoint of our long-term guided ranges. We remain focused on building a strong foundation for continued earnings expansion as we capitalize on our robust backlog and impressive portfolio of advanced technologies. Stoneridge remains well positioned to continue to outperform our underlying markets and drive margin expansion resulting in long-term shareholder value creation.”
