CVG REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2025 RESULTS
Fourth quarter sales of $155 million, EPS of ($0.19), Adjusted EBITDA of $2.3 million
CVG named Zoox Robotaxi low voltage wire harness strategic supplier
Provides outlook and guidance for full year 2026
NEW ALBANY, OHIO (March 10, 2026) - CVG (NASDAQ: CVGI), a diversified industrial products and services company, today announced financial results for its fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025.
Fourth Quarter 2025 Highlights (Compared with prior-year period, where comparisons are noted)
•Revenue of $154.8 million, down 5.2% due primarily to softer North American demand.
•Operating loss of $1.8 million, and adjusted operating loss of $0.9 million, improved compared to operating loss of $5.3 million and adjusted operating loss of $4.3 million. The decrease in operating loss was driven primarily by improved gross margin performance and lower SG&A expenses.
•Net loss from continuing operations of $6.4 million, or $(0.19) per diluted share, compared to net loss of $35.0 million, or $(1.04) per diluted share. Net loss in the prior-year period included a non-cash tax valuation allowance of $28.8 million. Adjusted net loss from continuing operations of $6.0 million, or $(0.18) per diluted share, compared to adjusted net loss of $5.1 million, or $(0.15) per diluted share.
•Adjusted EBITDA of $2.3 million, up 155.6%, with an adjusted EBITDA margin of 1.5%, up from 0.6%.
•Free cash flow of $8.8 million, up $7.9 million, due to better working capital management.
Full Year 2025 Highlights (Compared with prior-year period, where comparisons are noted)
•Revenue of $649.0 million, down 10.3%, driven by softer North American Class 8 production volumes.
•Operating loss of $0.7 million, improved by $0.1 million, and adjusted operating income of $4.8 million, down $1.7 million. The change in adjusted operating income was due to lower sales volumes, partially offset by lower SG&A expenses.
•Free cash flow of $34.0 million, up $21.5 million, due to better working capital management and reduced capital expenditures. Total debt decreased $29.1 million compared to year-ended 2024.

•The Global Electrical Systems segment returned to growth driven by the contribution of new business ramps, with margin expansion supported by the continued shift of production capacity to new, lower-cost facilities in Morocco and Mexico.
James Ray, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “We are encouraged by the resilience and consistency seen in our fourth quarter results. The actions we took to drive operational efficiencies and right-size our footprint continued to pay off, highlighted by the year-over-year gross margin improvement of 190 basis points seen last quarter. Our focus on our cost structure also drove a full year decline of $4.8 million in SG&A expenses in 2025. We expect to see continued operating leverage into 2026 as we ramp new business wins and our end markets stabilize and start to recover."
Mr. Ray continued, “After returning to growth in the third quarter, we saw further acceleration in our Global Electrical Systems segment revenue and margins as we continue to ramp new wins in that business, most significantly the Zoox autonomous vehicle platform. We expect continued growth in 2026 in this segment. In our Global Seating segment, we saw operating margin expansion, even in a softer demand environment, driven by operational efficiencies and cost reductions. Our Trim Systems and Components segment faced continued weakness in the North American Class 8 truck market, but we have taken proactive steps that we believe will lead to improved profitability in this segment. I’m encouraged by the momentum we are building in our businesses, as a result of our operational efficiencies and in advance of end market recovery.”
Andy Cheung, Chief Financial Officer, added, “CVG delivered results consistent with our adjusted full-year guidance. We continue to see margin benefits from the strategic actions we’ve taken. Furthermore, our focus on working capital and capital expenditure reductions supported strong free cash flow, both in the fourth quarter and for the full year. Looking to 2026, we expect to see revenue and EBITDA growth for the company, prioritizing free cash flow for debt paydown.”

Consolidated Results from Continuing Operations
Fourth Quarter 2025 Results
•Fourth quarter 2025 revenues were $154.8 million compared to $163.3 million in the prior year period, a decline of 5.2%. The decrease in revenues was due to lower sales as a result of a softening in North American customer demand in the Global Seating and Trim Systems & Components segments.
•Operating loss for the fourth quarter 2025 was $1.8 million compared to operating loss of $5.3 million in the prior year period. Excluding special costs, the fourth quarter of 2025 adjusted operating loss was $0.9 million, compared to adjusted operating loss of $4.3 million in 2024. The improvement in adjusted operating loss was driven primarily by improved gross margin performance and lower SG&A expenses.
•Interest expense was $4.2 million and $2.2 million for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, due to higher interest rates.
•Net loss from continuing operations was $6.4 million, or $(0.19) per diluted share, for the fourth quarter 2025 compared to net loss of $35.0 million, or $(1.04) per diluted share, in the prior year period.
On December 31, 2025, the Company had $16.8 million of outstanding borrowings on its U.S. revolving credit facility and $1.4 million on its China credit facility, $33.3 million of cash and $101.8 million availability from the credit facilities (subject to customary borrowing base and other conditions), resulting in total liquidity of $135.1 million.
Fourth Quarter 2025 Segment Results (Compared with prior-year period, where comparisons are noted)
Global Seating Segment
•Revenues were $70.7 million compared to $74.8 million for the prior year period, a decrease of 5.6% primarily due to lower sales volume as a result of decreased customer demand.
•Operating income was $1.1 million compared to $0.7 million in the prior year period, an increase of $0.4 million, primarily due to lower SG&A expenses. The fourth quarter of 2025 adjusted operating income was $1.8 million compared to $0.6 million in the prior year period, an increase of 175.9%.
Global Electrical Systems Segment
•Revenues were $49.7 million compared to $44.0 million in the prior year period, an increase of 12.7%, primarily as a result of ramping new business wins.
•Operating income was $0.8 million compared to operating loss of $3.0 million, an increase of $3.8 million, primarily attributable to higher sales and operating efficiencies. The fourth quarter of 2025 adjusted operating income was $0.9 million compared to adjusted operating loss of $3.0 million in the prior year period, an increase of $3.9 million.
Trim Systems and Components Segment
•Revenues were $34.4 million compared to $44.4 million in the prior year period, a decrease of 22.5%, primarily due to lower sales volumes.
3
•Operating loss was $1.5 million compared to $0.1 million in the prior year period, a decrease of $1.4 million. The decrease in operating income was primarily attributable to lower demand. The fourth quarter of 2025 adjusted operating loss was $1.4 million compared to income of $0.9 million in the prior year period.
Outlook

| Metric | 2026 Outlook ($ millions) | ||||
| Net Sales | $660 - $700 | ||||
| Adjusted EBITDA | $24 - $30 | ||||
| Free Cash Flow | Positive | ||||
This outlook reflects, among others, current industry forecasts for North American Class 8 truck builds.

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.
