08/04/2022 - 04:30 PM
Quarterly Sales of $250.8 million , EPS $0.08 , Adjusted EPS $0.13 Increased pricing with majority of our customers in second half of 2022
NEW ALBANY, Ohio, Aug. 04, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CVG (NASDAQ: CVGI), a diversified industrial products and services company, today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2022.
Second Quarter 2022 Highlights (Compared with prior-year, where comparisons are noted)
Sales of $250.8 million , down $7.1 million or 2.8% . Operating Income of $6.2 million . Adjusted operating income of $8.1 million , down $8.5 million or 51.2% . Net income of $2.5 million , or $0.08 per diluted share. Adjusted net income of $4.3 million , or $0.13 per diluted share, a decrease of $0.20 per diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA of $12.4 million , down $9.2 million , and adjusted EBITDA margin of 4.9% . New pricing began with the Company's largest customer on July 1, and with several other customers in 2022. The price increases are expected to benefit the Company's profitability in the second half of 2022 by approximately $15 million , and $30 million annually, depending on inflationary and other pressures. The Company expects full year debt paydown to be $25 million to $40 million . The Company continued to win new diversified business, especially in the Electric Vehicle market and has won 29 new business platforms year to date worth an estimated $104 million of new annualized business when fully ramped. Annualized new wins are now at over $300 million per year, centered in electrical systems for electric vehicles. CVG made progress in Q2 2022 on multiple fronts including: improved pricing on existing business; execution of restructuring plan with associated cost savings; winning new business in targeted areas; a re-start of its profitable China business; and stabilization of the Company’s business in the Ukraine and Czech Republic region. With these changes, CVG expects profits and free cash flow to improve sequentially in the second half of 2022.
Core Business Optimization . CVG has a dual approach to optimize its core business with price increases and cost reduction. It has substantially renegotiated pricing agreements with a majority of customers with the new pricing taking effect in Q3 2022. The price increases are expected to add to the anticipated run-rate by more than $30 million annually, depending on inflationary and other pressures. The second half of 2022 is expected to benefit from approximately $15 million of increased pricing which is expected to improve profitability and free cash flow, depending on above mentioned inflationary and other pressures. CVG also continued execution of its restructuring plan which includes part regionalization, part vertical integration and a modest headcount reduction in July. The Company is offsetting rapid inflation increases with a price increase program and a cost-reduction program. This environment is expected to continue.
Win New Business Focused on Electrification. CVG is focused on strengthening its go-forward revenue profile and continued to win new business in the second quarter with most of the wins in the Electrical Systems segment. CVG has cumulatively won over $300 million of new annualized business in the last 30 months, when fully ramped up. The timing of the ramp-ups is tied into global supply chain constraints which has been hard to predict. The platform value of the new business is over $2 billion in lifetime revenue. CVG has a focused organic growth plan for each business, and is particularly focused on electrification and the Electric Vehicle industry. To accomplish this growth, the Company has developed and fielded over 100 new products in the last 30 months. The Company’s new business pipeline continues to grow and is now approximately $5 billion in size.
Debt Paydown and Improved Free Cash Flow . The aftermath of the global pandemic and cost inflation caused the Company to significantly invest into its working capital profile. This investment peaked in Q1 2022 and the Company generated free cash flow in Q2 2022 and expects to accelerate its free cash flow generation going forward. The Company expects its profits and free cash flow to continue to improve in the second half of 2022 and enable the Company to achieve its goal of paying down $25 t o $40 million of debt for the full year.
Harold Bevis, President and Chief Executive Officer of CVG, said, "We made significant progress in the second quarter on multiple fronts which, we believe, positions CVG for improved profitability and free cash flow generation for the balance of the year. This is despite the sudden pullback by an industry leader in the e-commerce fulfillment arena. This is a bellwether event for many market participants like CVG and is expected to continue for a year. In vehicle building, we are still in a difficult operating environment with many parts and labor shortages and continued inflation. However, we successfully renegotiated pricing with several customers which, prior to the renegotiation, suppressed profitability in the second half of 2021 and first half of 2022. The new pricing is expected to deliver approximately $15 million of improved profitability in the second half of 2022 and more than $30 million annually, depending on inflationary and other pressures. We remain committed to continue to renegotiate prices and lower our costs as we manage through this cycle. Additionally, our China facility has reopened, and our Ukrainian facility’s operations have improved during the quarter.
Lastly, there continues to be more demand than supply in the North American Class 8 truck market. As such, the Company expects to be able to increase its revenues by contributing to solving these operational problems. In summary, while we are in a tough operating environment for vehicle production and a pause in the warehouse automation business, we expect an improved performance for the third and fourth quarter to deliver stronger earnings, free cash generation and debt repayment.”

Consolidated Results of Operations
Second Quarter 2022 Results
Second quarter 2022 revenues were $250.8 million compared to $257.9 million in the prior year period, a decrease of 2.8% . The decrease in revenues is primarily driven by a volume decrease in Warehouse Automation, offset by increased pricing to offset material cost increases across all other segments. Foreign currency translation also unfavorably impacted second quarter of 2022 revenues by $4.8 million , or by 1.9% . Operating income for the second quarter of 2022 was $6.2 million compared to $16.3 million in the prior year period. The decrease in operating income is primarily attributable to a lag in price-cost offsets, $2.9 million of new business startup costs and $1.8 million of restructuring expenses. The second quarter of 2022 adjusted operating income was $8.1 million , excluding special charges. Interest associated with debt and other expenses was $2.1 million and $2.8 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Net income was $2.5 million , or $0.08 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2022 compared to $5.1 million , or $0.16 per diluted share, in the prior year period. At June 30, 2022, the Company had $31.0 million of outstanding borrowings on its revolving credit facility, $28.5 million of cash and $117.8 million of availability from the revolving credit facility, resulting in total liquidity of $146.3 million .
Segment Results
Second Quarter 2022 Results

Operating income for the second quarter of 2022 was $1.5 million compared to $8.2 million in the prior year period, a decrease of 81.7% , primarily driven by a lag in price-cost offsets and increased new business startup costs. Warehouse Automation Segment
Revenues in the second quarter of 2022 were $28.5 million compared to $54.3 million in the prior year period, a decrease of 47.5% primarily due to lower demand levels. Operating income for the second quarter of 2022 was $1.3 million compared to $8.5 million in the prior year period. The decrease in operating income was primarily attributable to lower volumes. Adjusted operating income was $1.7 million , a decrease of 79.8% . Electric Systems Segment
Revenues in the second quarter of 2022 were $47.3 million compared to $44.2 million in the prior year period, an increase of 7.1% , primarily resulting from material cost pass-through and contributions from new business wins. Operating income was $5.9 million compared to $3.1 million in the prior year period. The increase in operating income is primarily attributable to volumes and material cost pass-through. Adjusted operating income was $6.5 million , an increase of 108.1% . Aftermarket and Accessories Segment
Revenues were $32.2 million compared to $29.2 million in the prior year period, an increase of 10.2% , primarily resulting from material cost pass-through. Operating income was $1.1 million compared to $3.7 million in the prior year period. The decrease in operating income is primarily attributable to a lag in price-cost offsets. Adjusted operating income was $1.7 million , a decrease of 54.1% . 2022 Demand Outlook
According to ACT Research, 2022 North American Class 8 truck production levels are expected to be at 305,000 units and Class 5-7 production are expected to be at 230,000 units. This outlook supports the Company’s 2022 outlook for vehicle products.
According to LogisticsIQ, demand for warehouse automation products is expected to grow approximately 15% annually through 2027. However, the North American industry is below the trendline at the moment due to an industry leader's actions to address its fulfillment overcapacity and excess operating expenses. This overhang is impacting the industry for the time being. However, the long term outlook supports demand for the Company's warehouse automation business.

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.
