CVG reported challenging Q1 2025 financial results with revenues of $169.8 million, down 12.7% year-over-year. The company posted a net loss of $3.1 million, or $(0.09) per share, compared to net income of $1.4 million in Q1 2024. Adjusted EBITDA decreased 40.2% to $5.8 million, with margin declining to 3.4%. The decline was primarily due to softening demand in global Construction and Agriculture markets and North America Class 8 truck demand. Despite challenges, free cash flow improved by $17.7 million to $11.2 million, enabling debt reduction of $11.7 million. The company has reorganized into three segments: Global Seating, Global Electrical Systems, and Trim Systems. Given market conditions, CVG revised its 2025 outlook, now expecting revenues of $660-690 million and adjusted EBITDA of $22-27 million.
CVG ha riportato risultati finanziari difficili nel primo trimestre 2025 con ricavi pari a 169,8 milioni di dollari, in calo del 12,7% rispetto all'anno precedente. L'azienda ha registrato una perdita netta di 3,1 milioni di dollari, ovvero $(0,09) per azione, rispetto a un utile netto di 1,4 milioni di dollari nel primo trimestre 2024. L'EBITDA rettificato è diminuito del 40,2%, attestandosi a 5,8 milioni di dollari, con un margine in calo al 3,4%. Il calo è stato principalmente causato da una domanda debole nei mercati globali delle costruzioni e dell'agricoltura, nonché nella domanda di camion Classe 8 in Nord America. Nonostante le difficoltà, il flusso di cassa libero è migliorato di 17,7 milioni di dollari, raggiungendo 11,2 milioni di dollari, permettendo una riduzione del debito di 11,7 milioni di dollari. L'azienda si è riorganizzata in tre segmenti: Global Seating, Global Electrical Systems e Trim Systems. Considerando le condizioni di mercato, CVG ha rivisto le previsioni per il 2025, ora prevedendo ricavi tra 660 e 690 milioni di dollari e un EBITDA rettificato tra 22 e 27 milioni di dollari.
CVG reportó resultados financieros desafiantes en el primer trimestre de 2025 con ingresos de , una disminución del 12,7% interanual. La compañía registró una pérdida neta de $3,1 millones, o $(0,09) por acción, en comparación con una ganancia neta de $1,4 millones en el primer trimestre de 2024. El EBITDA ajustado disminuyó un 40,2% hasta $5,8 millones, con un margen que cayó al 3,4%. La caída se debió principalmente a la menor demanda en los mercados globales de Construcción y Agricultura, así como en la demanda de camiones Clase 8 en Norteamérica. A pesar de los desafíos, el flujo de caja libre mejoró en $17,7 millones hasta $11,2 millones, permitiendo una reducción de deuda de $11,7 millones. La compañía se reorganizó en tres segmentos: Global Seating, Global Electrical Systems y Trim Systems. Dadas las condiciones del mercado, CVG revisó su perspectiva para 2025, esperando ahora ingresos de $660-690 millones y un EBITDA ajustado de $22-27 millones.
CVG는 2025년 1분기에 도전적인 재무 실적을 보고했으며, 매출은 1억 6,980만 달러로 전년 동기 대비 12.7% 감소했습니다. 회사는 310만 달러의 순손실, 주당 $(0.09)를 기록했으며, 이는 2024년 1분기 140만 달러의 순이익과 비교됩니다. 조정 EBITDA는 40.2% 감소한 580만 달러로, 마진은 3.4%로 하락했습니다. 이 감소는 주로 글로벌 건설 및 농업 시장과 북미 클래스 8 트럭 수요의 약화 때문입니다. 어려움에도 불구하고, 자유 현금 흐름은 1,770만 달러 증가하여 1,120만 달러에 도달했으며, 이를 통해 1,170만 달러의 부채 감축이 가능했습니다. 회사는 글로벌 시팅(Global Seating), 글로벌 전기 시스템(Global Electrical Systems), 트림 시스템(Trim Systems) 세 개의 부문으로 재조직되었습니다. 시장 상황을 고려하여 CVG는 2025년 전망을 수정하여 매출 6억 6,000만~6억 9,000만 달러, 조정 EBITDA 2,200만~2,700만 달러를 예상하고 있습니다.
CVG a annoncé des résultats financiers difficiles pour le premier trimestre 2025 avec un chiffre d'affaires de 169,8 millions de dollars, en baisse de 12,7 % par rapport à l'année précédente. La société a enregistré une perte nette de 3,1 millions de dollars, soit $(0,09) par action, contre un bénéfice net de 1,4 million de dollars au premier trimestre 2024. L'EBITDA ajusté a diminué de 40,2 % pour atteindre 5,8 millions de dollars, avec une marge en baisse à 3,4 %. Ce recul est principalement dû à un affaiblissement de la demande sur les marchés mondiaux de la construction et de l'agriculture, ainsi que sur la demande de camions Classe 8 en Amérique du Nord. Malgré ces défis, le flux de trésorerie libre s'est amélioré de 17,7 millions de dollars pour atteindre 11,2 millions de dollars, permettant une réduction de la dette de 11,7 millions de dollars. L'entreprise s'est réorganisée en trois segments : Global Seating, Global Electrical Systems et Trim Systems. Compte tenu des conditions du marché, CVG a révisé ses prévisions pour 2025, anticipant désormais un chiffre d'affaires compris entre 660 et 690 millions de dollars et un EBITDA ajusté entre 22 et 27 millions de dollars.
CVG meldete herausfordernde Finanzergebnisse für das erste Quartal 2025 mit Umsätzen von 169,8 Millionen US-Dollar, was einem Rückgang von 12,7 % im Jahresvergleich entspricht. Das Unternehmen verzeichnete einen Nettoverlust von 3,1 Millionen US-Dollar oder $(0,09) je Aktie, im Vergleich zu einem Nettogewinn von 1,4 Millionen US-Dollar im ersten Quartal 2024. Das bereinigte EBITDA sank um 40,2 % auf 5,8 Millionen US-Dollar, mit einer Marge, die auf 3,4 % zurückging. Der Rückgang war hauptsächlich auf eine nachlassende Nachfrage in den globalen Bau- und Agrarmärkten sowie der Nachfrage nach Klasse-8-Lkw in Nordamerika zurückzuführen. Trotz der Herausforderungen verbesserte sich der freie Cashflow um 17,7 Millionen US-Dollar auf 11,2 Millionen US-Dollar, was eine Schuldenreduzierung von 11,7 Millionen US-Dollar ermöglichte. Das Unternehmen hat sich in drei Segmente umstrukturiert: Global Seating, Global Electrical Systems und Trim Systems. Angesichts der Marktbedingungen hat CVG seine Prognose für 2025 überarbeitet und erwartet nun Umsätze von 660 bis 690 Millionen US-Dollar sowie ein bereinigtes EBITDA von 22 bis 27 Millionen US-Dollar.

Insights

CVG reports mixed Q1 with revenue decline but improved cash flow and debt reduction amid cyclical industry downturn.

CVG's Q1 2025 results reveal a company navigating the cyclical trough in its core markets while focusing on financial fundamentals. The $169.8 million revenue represents a 12.7% year-over-year decline, reflecting significant headwinds across all end markets, particularly the 23% projected reduction in North American Class 8 truck production.

The transition to a net loss position of $3.1 million ($0.09 per share loss) from a profit of $1.4 million ($0.05 per share) last year directly reflects volume challenges. However, the company's strategic emphasis on cash management delivered impressive results – free cash flow increased by $17.7 million to $11.2 million, enabling an $11.7 million reduction in net debt.

The margin profile shows sequential improvement with a 250 basis point gross margin expansion compared to Q4 2024, indicating operational efficiency initiatives are gaining traction despite the year-over-year contraction in adjusted EBITDA margin from 5.0% to 3.4%.

The company maintains solid liquidity of $122.7 million, providing a buffer against continued market volatility. The revised full-year outlook (revenue of $660-690 million, down from $670-710 million) acknowledges continued market challenges, but the maintained $20+ million free cash flow target signals confidence in working capital management.

Particularly noteworthy is the company's ability to generate significant free cash flow during a cyclical downturn – this demonstrates the operational improvements from 2024's restructuring are beginning to bear fruit, with better working capital management driving financial performance even as revenue contracts.

CVG's strategic reorganization and operational efficiency gains partially offset significant end-market declines across all segments.

CVG's reorganization into three focused segments (Global Seating, Global Electrical Systems, and Trim Systems) represents a strategic operational response to significant market headwinds. This restructuring creates clearer accountability and customer alignment at a critical time when all markets are contracting.

The varying segment performance reveals important operational dynamics. Global Seating demonstrated relative resilience with operating income declining only 3.0% despite a 9.1% revenue drop, suggesting stronger pricing power and manufacturing efficiency. Conversely, Global Electrical Systems swung to an operating loss and Trim Systems saw a precipitous 63.5% profit decline, indicating higher operational leverage and potential production inefficiencies at lower volumes.

The sequential 250 basis point gross margin improvement versus Q4 2024 suggests the company's operational efficiency initiatives are gaining traction, particularly as one-time cost drivers from 2024 have concluded. This aligns with management's commentary about transformative actions taken in 2024, including strategic divestments of non-core businesses.

The industry context is crucial – ACT Research forecasts North American Class 8 truck production declining from 332,372 units in 2024 to approximately 255,000 units in 2025, creating volume challenges across the supply chain. Similarly, the 5-15% expected decline in Construction and Agriculture markets creates headwinds for all segments.

Management's reference to new business wins outside traditional markets in the Electrical Systems segment indicates a strategic diversification effort, though these appear insufficient to fully offset current declines. The emphasis on becoming "a lower cost, more nimble company" suggests the organizational restructuring is designed to create a more responsive operational model capable of profitability at lower volumes – a necessary adaptation to cyclical industrial markets.

First quarter sales of $170 million, EPS of $(0.09), Adjusted EBITDA of $5.8 million
Significantly improved free cash flow enables further debt paydown
Updates guidance for full year 2025

NEW ALBANY, Ohio, May 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CVG (NASDAQ: CVGI), a diversified industrial products and services company, today announced financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2025.

During the quarter, the Company completed a strategic reorganization of its operations into three segments: Global Seating, Global Electrical Systems, and Trim Systems and Components. The results and comparisons presented below reflect continuing operations unless otherwise noted.

First Quarter 2025 Highlights (Results from Continuing Operations; compared with prior year, where comparisons are noted)

  • Revenues of $169.8 million, down 12.7%, primarily due to softening in global Construction and Agriculture markets and North America Class 8 truck demand.
  • Operating income of $1.4 million, adjusted operating income of $2.1 million, down compared to operating income of $4.5 million and adjusted operating income of $6.3 million. The decrease in operating income was driven primarily by lower sales volumes offset by reductions in SG&A expense.
  • Net loss from continuing operations of $3.1 million, or $(0.09) per diluted share and adjusted net loss of $2.6 million, or $(0.08) per diluted share, compared to net income from continuing operations of $1.4 million, or $0.05 per diluted share and adjusted net income of $2.8 million, or $0.08 per diluted share.
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $5.8 million, down 40.2%, with an adjusted EBITDA margin of 3.4%, down from 5.0%.
  • Free cash flow of $11.2 million, up $17.7 million, due to better working capital management. Net debt decreased $11.7 million compared to the year end 2024 level.
  • Gross margin expansion of 250 basis points versus Q4 2024 due to operational efficiency improvements and conclusion of one-time cost drivers from 2024.

James Ray, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Our first quarter results demonstrate sequential improvement in margins and free cash flow. Cash generation and debt paydown remain key priorities for CVG, as we look to build on our strong free cash performance in the first quarter through further margin improvement, working capital reduction, and reduced capital expenditures. We are beginning to see the benefits of efforts made in 2024, including strategic divestments of non-core businesses, to transform CVG. These divestitures, as well as our priority on improving operational efficiency, have allowed us to streamline operations, lower our cost structure, and drive cash generation to pay down debt. Despite industry-wide and global macroeconomic headwinds, we are prioritizing strong execution from the top down within CVG focused on cost mitigation, margin improvement, and operational efficiency.”

Mr. Ray continued, “The actions we took last year position us well for the future. Change management is always difficult, and I would personally like to thank the entire CVG team for their efforts throughout the process. I would like to thank Bob Griffin, our current Chairman, for his contributions to CVG’s strategic goals and priorities over the years. I am also excited to continue working with Bill Johnson, a current board member who is expected to become the Chairman of the Board following Mr. Griffin’s retirement, effective May 15, 2025. While we acknowledge the current macroeconomic uncertainties and geopolitical environment, the transformation undertaken in 2024 makes CVG a lower cost, more nimble company, better positioned to navigate these challenges. We are committed to execution, delivery, and driving operational efficiency, while managing the potential impact of trade policy.”

Andy Cheung, Chief Financial Officer, added, “We are encouraged by the quarter-over-quarter improvement in our financial performance, as we start to see the benefits of our strategic portfolio realignment and operational efficiency efforts. However, given the economic environment and policy concerns, we are adjusting our outlook to reflect current market conditions. Our focused portfolio, now more closely aligned with our customers through our re-segmentation, positions us for improved value capture as end markets recover.”

First Quarter 2025 Results

  • First quarter 2025 revenues were $169.8 million, compared to $194.6 million in the prior year period, a decrease of 12.7%. The overall decrease in revenues was due to lower sales as a result of a softening in customer demand across all segments.

First quarter 2025 adjusted operating income was $0.2 million compared to $1.5 million in the prior year period.

Trim Systems and Components Segment

  • Revenues were $45.9 million compared to $55.1 million in the prior year period, a decrease of 16.6%, primarily as a result of decreased customer demand.

Outlook

CVG updated the Company's outlook for the full year 2025, based on current market conditions:

MetricPrior 2025 Outlook ($ millions)2025 Outlook ($ millions)
Net Sales$670 - $710$660- $690
Adjusted EBITDA$25 - $30$22 - $27
Free Cash Flow > $20
   

This outlook reflects, among others, current industry forecasts for North America Class 8 truck builds. According to ACT Research, 2025 North American Class 8 truck production levels are expected to be at 255,000 units. The 2024 actual Class 8 truck builds according to the ACT Research was 332,372 units.

Construction and Agriculture end markets are projected to decline approximately 5-15% in 2025. However, we expect the contribution from new business wins outside of Construction and Agriculture end markets in Electrical Systems to soften this decline.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

This earnings release contains financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). In general, the non-GAAP measures exclude items that (i) management believes reflect the Company’s multi-year corporate activities; or (ii) relate to activities or actions that may have occurred over multiple or in prior periods without predictable trends. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to evaluate the Company’s performance, engage in financial and operational planning and to determine incentive compensation.

Management provides these non-GAAP financial measures to investors as supplemental metrics to assist readers in assessing the effects of items and events on the Company’s financial and operating results and in comparing the Company’s performance to that of its competitors and to comparable reporting periods. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.

The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations to those financial statements set forth above should be carefully evaluated.
