NOVI, Mich., March 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Stoneridge, Inc. (NYSE:SRI) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full-year ended December 31, 2022, with fourth quarter sales of $231.2 million and earnings per share of $0.01 and full-year sales of $899.9 million with loss per share of $(0.52). Adjusted sales for the fourth quarter and full-year were $225.2 million and $841.5 million, respectively.

Fourth quarter results included a $3.7 million, or ($0.10) earnings per share, adjustment to non-operating income related to a prior quarter correction. As reported in the second quarter of 2022, the Company unwound two net investment hedges driven by favorable foreign currency movements and recognized a net gain to other non-operating income of approximately $3.7 million, or earnings per share of $0.10. In the fourth quarter, the Company determined the gain had been incorrectly recognized as other non-operating income and reclassified the gain to other comprehensive loss. The Company received $3.8 million in cash in the second-quarter as part of the settlement, which was properly accounted for on the balance sheet and statement of cash flows.

Sales were adjusted to normalize the impact of electronic component spot buys recovered from customers of $6.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 and $58.4 million for the full-year 2022. The exhibits attached hereto provide reconciliation detail on this and all other normalizing adjustments of Non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release.

For the fourth quarter of 2022, Stoneridge reported gross profit of $45.5 million (19.7% of sales, 20.2% of adjusted sales). Operating income was $6.0 million (2.6% of sales and 2.7% of adjusted sales). EBITDA was $11.1 million (4.9% of adjusted sales). Excluding the impact of the prior quarter correction, EBITDA was $14.8 million (6.6% of adjusted sales), a $3.7 million and 100 basis point improvement over the third quarter.

For the full year of 2022, Stoneridge reported gross profit of $174.9 million (19.4% of sales, 20.8% of adjusted sales). Operating income was $2.9 million (0.3% of sales) and adjusted operating income was $2.7 million (0.3% of adjusted sales), a 190 basis point improvement over 2021. Adjusted EBITDA was $29.8 million (3.5% of adjusted sales), a 30 basis point improvement over 2021.

Jim Zizelman, president and chief executive officer, commented, "During the fourth quarter we continued to experience volatility in several of our primary end-markets. Rising COVID-19 infections in China and continued production volatility with our North American passenger car customers led to reduced fourth quarter production. We also had material constraints that reduced sales in our off-highway business that limited our ability to meet our expectations for reducing short-term backlog as quickly as we had previously expected. That said, these issues appear to be easing as we move into 2023, and we are beginning to recoup some of the production losses we saw in the fourth quarter."

Zizelman continued, "Despite continued macroeconomic challenges in 2022, we believe we successfully managed the volatility and set ourselves up for stronger performance in 2023. We negotiated significant price increases with our customers to offset material and labor cost headwinds we continued our focus on cost management and operational efficiencies that will contribute to improved operating performance in 2023."

Fourth Quarter in Review

Control Devices sales totaled $85.9 million, an increase of 7.6% relative to adjusted sales excluding the impact of the divested business in the fourth quarter of 2021. This was primarily due to customer price increases and incremental revenue from new programs, as well as higher sales volumes in the North America commercial vehicle end-market. This growth was partially offset by reductions in customer production volumes in the North America passenger vehicle end-market and demand reductions resulting from COVID-19 related shutdowns in China impacting the fourth quarter of 2022. Fourth quarter operating margin was 6.4%, a 140 basis point improvement relative to adjusted operating margin, excluding the divested soot sensor business, in the fourth quarter of 2021, primarily due to lower SG&A costs.

Control Devices sales decreased by 3.9% compared to the third quarter of 2022, primarily due to lower sales in the North America passenger vehicle end-market and China passenger vehicle end-market. This decline was partially offset by incremental revenue from actuation programs and incremental pricing. Fourth quarter operating margin decreased by 200 basis points relative to the third quarter of 2022, primarily due to higher material costs driven by an unfavorable sales mix.

Electronics adjusted sales totaled $134.8 million, an increase of 39.7% relative to sales in the fourth quarter of 2021. This was driven by higher sales volumes in the European and North American commercial vehicle and off-highway end-markets, customer price increases and the ramp-up of new program launches. This growth was partially offset by an unfavorable foreign currency translation impact of $7.9 million. Fourth quarter operating margin was 3.7%, an improvement of 860 basis points relative to the fourth quarter of 2021 primarily due increased contribution margin from higher sales and incremental pricing as well as lower SG&A and D&D spend, offset by an increase in material costs due to supply chain constraints.

Relative to the third quarter of 2022, Electronics adjusted sales increased 15.0%, primarily due to higher sales volumes in the European commercial vehicle and off-highway end-markets, expansion of recently launched programs and pricing actions. This growth was partially offset by an unfavorable foreign currency impact of $1.5 million. Fourth quarter operating margin decreased 90 basis points relative to the third quarter of 2022, primarily due to higher material and labor costs partially offset by the favorable foreign currency impact of approximately $1.2 million, reduced SG&A spend and fixed cost leverage on incremental sales.

Stoneridge Brazil sales were $13.1 million, a decrease of 6.7% relative to sales in the fourth quarter of 2021, primarily due to lower sales in most product lines offset by favorable foreign currency translation of $0.9 million. Fourth quarter adjusted operating margin was 6.0%, an improvement of 350 basis points, primarily due to favorable product mix.

Relative to the third quarter of 2022, Stoneridge Brazil sales decreased by $0.8 million. Stoneridge Brazil adjusted operating margin decreased by 100 basis points relative to the third quarter of 2022 primarily due to recognizing indirect tax credits in the third quarter.

Cash and Debt Balances

As of December 31, 2022, Stoneridge had cash and cash equivalents balances totaling $54.8 million. Total debt as of December 31, 2022 was $169.3 million. Net debt was reduced by $21.7 million in the fourth quarter to $114.5 million as of December 31, 2022.

On March 1, 2023, the Company entered into Amendment No. 4 to our credit facility that provides for certain financial covenant relief for the first and second quarters of 2023. This amendment to the credit facility modified the covenant ratios for the first and second quarter of 2023 to include a maximum 4.75x and 4.25x leverage ratio respectively. This amendment also modified the minimum interest coverage covenant for the first two quarters of 2023 to 3.0x.

The Company continues to focus on operating performance and working capital improvement to drive cash performance. As a result, the Company expects that the net debt to EBITDA ratio will return to a more normalized level by the end of 2023 and is targeting a long-term net debt to EBITDA leverage ratio under 2.5x.

2023 and Future Outlook

Zizelman commented, "MirrorEye has continued to accelerate and will start to deliver significant results for the Company during 2023. Despite a continued challenging macroeconomic environment, over the past several years we invested tens of millions of dollars to develop MirrorEye, a truly industry-changing technology. Our first OEM MirrorEye program continues to outperform original expectations with a take-rate of approximately 40% compared to the original customer communicated take-rate of 16%. Our next MirrorEye program launches in North America in the second quarter of this year and based on the momentum we are seeing for the first OEM program, we believe there is upside to the take-rate assumption in 2023. Our second European OEM partner, with a program launching in 2024, recently increased their forecasted take-rate from 25% to approximately 45% based on expected market demand. We are also seeing continued growth in our retrofit market for MirrorEye in North America. As an example, earlier this week, we announced a partnership with KLLM Transport and Frozen Food Express, outlining their intent to include MirrorEye on 1,000 of their new and existing vehicles. This is just one example of the many fleets Stoneridge continues to work with to expand MirrorEye in North America. We have a number of reasons why we believe that our MirrorEye technology will expand much further in the industry. For instance, we also just announced a partnership with Grote Industries to bring our innovative camera technology to the commercial vehicle trailer market. This expansion not only builds on our existing MirrorEye platform, but also drives our overall cabin digitization strategy."

Zizelman added, "In Control Devices we continue to focus on growing our core product portfolio, particularly in our global actuation business, to align with industry megatrends supporting our target of being 90%+ drivetrain agnostic in the next five years over our entire product portfolio."

The Company announced 2023 adjusted sales guidance of $960.0 million to $990.0 million. Further, the Company announced 2023 adjusted gross margin guidance of 20.5% to 21.25%, adjusted operating margin guidance of 1.5% to 2.25% and adjusted EBITDA of $50.9 million to $58.4 million or 5.3% - 5.9% of adjusted sales.

Matt Horvath, chief financial officer, commented, "Our midpoint revenue guidance of $975.0 million resulting in approximately 16% growth relative to 2022 or approximately 13x the weighted average growth of our end-markets. We expect a gross margin of between 20.5% and 21.25%. As is typical, we expect our gross margin profile to continue to improve as newly launched programs mature. Driven primarily by our significant expected revenue growth and continued focus on cost control, we expect EBITDA margin expansion of 180 to 240 basis points relative to 2022."

The Company also announced adjusted earnings per share guidance of $(0.10) to $0.10 and an expected tax expense of $4.5 million - $5.5 million.

Horvath continued, "With respect to adjusted earnings per share, we are expecting incremental contribution on revenue growth inline with our historical average of 25% - 30%. Partially offsetting the benefit of the Company's growth in 2023 is meaningfully higher labor costs. We are expecting annual inflationary labor adjustment above historical levels creating a significant headwind to expected earnings performance this year. Finally, we expect incremental interest expense of approximately $5.5 million, or approximately ($0.15) of adjusted EPS, due to higher interest rates and somewhat higher average debt outstanding as compared to 2022. This results in adjusted EPS guidance of $(0.10) to $0.10 for 2023."

Horvath concluded, "Moving forward, we expect the impact of new program launches and expansion of existing programs to drive significant growth. We have updated our long-term revenue target to $1.3 billion to $1.5 billion by 2027 which reflects a midpoint compound annual growth rate of approximately 9.5%. This is supported by a $3.6 billion backlog which grew 6% relative to 2021. Driven by incremental contribution margins, continued margin recovery actions, favorable mix related to our aftermarket products and continued leverage on our existing cost structure, we are targeting an EBITDA margin of 11.5% to 13.5% by 2027. Stoneridge remains well positioned to significantly outperform our underlying markets and drive significant margin expansion resulting in long-term shareholder value creation."
