FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
STONERIDGE REPORTS FIRST-QUARTER 2013 RESULTS
| · | Continued Improvement in Operating Margin Driven by Cost Reductions and Sequential Sales Growth Over the Last Three Quarters |
| · | Positioned to Leverage Market Improvement |
| · | Deleveraging From 2012 Cash Flow Lowers Interest Expense |
| · | Company Maintains 2013 Guidance of $0.75-$0.95 per Share |
WARREN, Ohio – May 9, 2013 – Stoneridge, Inc. (NYSE: SRI) today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2013.
First-quarter 2013 net sales were $235.7 million, a decrease of $26.6 million, or 10.1%, compared with $262.3 million for the first quarter of 2012. The decrease in the current quarter’s net sales was primarily due to lower sales in the Company’s Wiring business segment and lower sales in the PST business segment.
Net income for the first quarter of 2013 was $4.1 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, compared with net income of $5.9 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2012. The decrease in net income was primarily due to lower sales in the first quarter of 2013 compared with the same period in 2012.
As of March 31, 2013, Stoneridge’s consolidated cash position was $46.7 million, an increase of $2.1 million from December 31, 2012.
“While our year-over-year sales comparisons were lower in the first quarter, over the last three quarters sales have improved 7.5% over the third quarter of 2012 and 5.8% over the fourth quarter of 2012. Our cost-reduction and other initiatives implemented during 2012 continued to favorably affect our operating margin. These actions, together with our participation in diversified markets and global reach, have reduced the impact of lower global commercial vehicle market demand and demonstrated our ability to continue generating operating profits with lower volumes,” Corey noted. “Our cash flow and deleveraging in 2012 contributed to our earnings performance in the first quarter of 2013 through lower interest expense.”
Corey continued “PST’s sales came in as expected and above the trough level experienced in the second quarter of 2012, while operating margins benefited from cost initiatives implemented in the second quarter of last year and mix driven largely from aftermarket products of alarm systems and tracking devices.”
Regarding the remaining quarters, Corey added, “We are positioned to benefit from market improvement and expect to see continued financial performance improvement in the remaining quarters of 2013 as we have experienced in the last three quarters, and reaffirm our 2013 guidance of $0.75 to $0.95 per share as published on February 7, 2013, based on market improvement and cost initiatives.”
