STONERIDGE REPORTS SECOND-QUARTER 2013 RESULTS

WARREN, Ohio – August 1, 2013 – Stoneridge, Inc. (NYSE: SRI) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013.

 

Second-quarter 2013 net sales were $242.8 million, an increase of $8.5 million, or 3.6%, compared with $234.3 million for the second quarter of 2012. The increase in the current quarter’s net sales was primarily due to higher sales in the Company’s PST, Electronics and Control Devices business segments.

 

Net income for the second quarter of 2013 was $5.8 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $3.6 million, or $(0.13) per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2012. The increase in net income was primarily due to higher sales in the second quarter of 2013 compared with the same period in 2012 and continued improvement in PST’s markets and operations in Brazil.

 

As of June 30, 2013, Stoneridge’s consolidated cash position was $37.0 million, a decrease of $7.5 million from December 31, 2012, due primarily to increased receivables and inventories at PST resulting from the Brazilian market recovery.

 

John Corey, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Year-over-year sales comparisons were higher in the second quarter and continued the sequential sales increases we have seen since the fourth quarter of 2012. The higher sales are mostly the result of improved PST sales which continue to increase over the trough level experienced in the second quarter of 2012.”

 

Corey further noted Company-wide cost reductions and other initiatives implemented during 2012 continued to improve operating margins. PST margins improved as a result of previous cost actions and an improving sales mix driven largely by alarm systems in the aftermarket.

 

Corey continued, “While the commercial vehicle market demand remains less than robust, Stoneridge’s participation in diversified markets has reduced this impact and improved our ability to generate operating profits with lower volumes. In addition, even though the U.S. dollar has gained strength versus the Brazilian Real (BRL), we have been able to better manage our global foreign exchange exposure and have reduced PST’s U.S. dollar denominated debt by $10.3 million since the start of 2013. We have recorded a relatively minor currency impact in the second quarter of 2013 compared with the significant impact experienced in the second quarter of 2012.”

 

Regarding the remaining quarters of 2013, Corey added, “We expect to see further financial improvement, continuing a trend that started in the third quarter of 2012. We reaffirm our 2013 guidance of $0.75 to $0.95 per share as published on February 7, 2013, based on our expectation of continued market improvement and benefits from cost initiatives.”
