The exhibits attached hereto provide reconciliation detail on normalizing adjustments of non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release.

Jim Zizelman, president and chief executive officer, commented, "In 2024, our focus remained on improving the fundamentals of our business to offset the continued pressure across all of our major end markets. Stoneridge specific growth drivers, including MirrorEye and the Smart 2 tachograph, grew significantly this year, offsetting a portion of the market headwinds to drive market outperformance of 490 basis points. We continued to focus on the execution of our major program launches, material cost reductions, continuous improvement in our manufacturing facilities and structural cost control. Our efforts resulted in a 120-basis point improvement in material costs and a 30-basis point improvement in direct labor costs, or a 7% year-over-year improvement relative to 2023. Our focus on cash and inventory management drove positive free cash flow of approximately $24 million, an increase of approximately $56 million versus the prior year. This was driven primarily by significant improvement in our inventory balances, which declined by $36 million this year, $25 million of which came in the fourth quarter."

Zizelman continued, "While we are proud of our achievements in 2024, we recognize there is still opportunity for significant improvement, especially in quality. Additionally, we are focused on overall cost structure, as evidenced by our recent actions to de-layer certain corporate functions and streamline our operations in manufacturing facilities which reduced costs and is also improving operational efficiency. Quality-related costs, material cost improvement and structural cost reduction remain our key priorities for 2025."

Zizelman concluded, "Finally, we continue to monitor the impacts, if any, related to potential tariffs, particularly related to Mexico. Similar to previously enacted tariffs or other raw material related cost increases over the last several years, we will implement supply chain and customer pricing strategies to mitigate any cost increases that may occur. We will continue to monitor shifts in macroeconomic policies and the potential for impacts on our business to ensure that we act quickly to offset any incremental costs, as we have done historically."

Fourth Quarter in Review

Electronics fourth quarter sales of $149.4 million increased by 1.8% relative to adjusted sales of the fourth quarter of 2023. This was primarily driven by the ramp-up of recently launched programs, including MirrorEye and the Company's next generation tachograph, the Smart 2, as well as higher sales in the European off-highway end market. This was partially offset by lower sales in the European and North American commercial vehicle end markets due to production volume declines. Fourth quarter adjusted operating margin of 3.6% declined by 390 basis points relative to the fourth quarter of 2023, driven by higher D&D, primarily related to a reduction in customer reimbursements, and higher SG&A costs. This was partially offset by lower material and labor costs.

Control Devices fourth quarter sales of $63.2 million decreased by 16.3% relative to the fourth quarter of 2023. This decrease was primarily due to lower customer production volumes in the North American passenger vehicle end market, as well as the expected wind-down of end-of-life programs and lower sales in China. Fourth quarter adjusted operating margin of (2.5)% decreased by 380 basis points relative to the fourth quarter of 2023, primarily due to reduced leverage on lower sales, partially offset by lower direct material and labor costs.

Stoneridge Brazil fourth quarter sales of $12.4 million decreased by $1.5 million relative to the fourth quarter of 2023. This decrease was due to unfavorable foreign currency translation of $(2.0) million. Additionally, higher OEM sales during the quarter were partially offset by lower sales in aftermarket products and monitoring service fees. Fourth quarter operating income of $0.1 million decreased by approximately $0.9 million relative to the fourth quarter of 2023, driven by higher material costs due to the adverse impact of U.S. dollar-denominated material purchases and unfavorable sales mix from lower monitoring service fees offset by lower SG&A spending.

Full-Year in Review

Electronics full-year sales of $594.7 million were relatively in line with 2023 sales adjusted for spot purchase recoveries. This was primarily driven by the ramp-up of recently launched programs, including MirrorEye and Smart 2, partially offset by lower sales in the European and North American commercial vehicle end markets due to customer production volume declines. Full-year adjusted operating margin of 4.7% declined by 40 basis points relative to 2023, driven by higher operating expenses and increased quality-related costs of approximately $1.2 million, partially offset by lower material and direct labor costs.

Control Devices full-year sales of $296.3 million decreased by 14.3% relative to 2023. This decrease was primarily due to lower customer production volumes in the North American passenger vehicle end market, as well as the expected wind-down of end-of-life programs. Full-year adjusted operating margin of 2.2% decreased by 170 basis points relative to 2023, primarily due to reduced leverage on lower sales, partially offset by lower direct material and quality-related costs.

Stoneridge Brazil full-year sales of $50.3 million decreased by $7.1 million relative to 2023. This decrease was primarily due to unfavorable foreign currency translation of $(3.8) million as well as lower sales in all our South American end markets driven by continued macroeconomic challenges. Full-year operating income of $1.0 million decreased by approximately $3.0 million relative to 2023, primarily due to reduced fixed cost leverage on lower sales, relatively higher material costs due to the adverse impact of U.S. dollar-denominated material purchases and unfavorable sales mix from lower monitoring service fees, partially offset by lower SG&A costs.

Cash and Debt Balances

As of December 31, 2024, Stoneridge had cash and cash equivalents totaling $71.8 million. During 2024, the Company generated $47.7 million in net cash provided by operating activities and $23.8 million in free cash flow, an increase of $42.8 million and $55.5 million, respectively over 2023. This was driven by the Company's continued focus on reducing net working capital, including a $36.4 million reduction in inventory balances.

For compliance purposes, adjusted net debt was $147.9 million while adjusted EBITDA for the trailing twelve months was $48.0 million, resulting in an adjusted net debt to trailing twelve-month EBITDA compliance leverage ratio of 3.08x relative to a required leverage ratio of not greater than 3.5x.

The Company amended the existing Credit Facility to provide financial covenant relief for the fourth quarter of 2024 and the first three quarters of 2025. This amendment modified the first, second and third quarter leverage ratio maximum to 6.0x, 5.5x and 4.5x, respectively. The interest coverage ratio was waived in the fourth quarter of 2024 and was modified to 2.0x for the first and second quarters of 2025 and 2.5x for the third quarter of 2025. The Company expects to remain compliant with all amended compliance ratios.

The Company continues to focus on both operating performance and efficient cash management to improve financial performance and return its leverage profile to more normalized ratios. Based on its 2025 guidance and working capital initiatives, the Company is targeting a compliance net debt to EBITDA leverage ratio of 2.0x to 2.5x by the end of the year, relative to a 3.5x leverage ratio requirement by the end of the year.

2025 and Future Outlook

The Company is issuing guidance ranges for its full-year 2025 performance including sales guidance of $860 million to $890 million, gross margin guidance of 22.0% to 22.5% operating margin guidance of 0.75% to 1.25%, and EBITDA guidance of $38 million to $42 million, or approximately 4.4% to 4.7% of sales. The Company is also issuing guidance for free cash flow in 2025 of $25 million to $30 million.

Matt Horvath, chief financial officer, commented, "We are establishing our full-year 2025 guidance ranges, including midpoint revenue of $875 million to reflect current market expectations and our expectations for Stoneridge specific growth drivers. Overall, we expect OEM volume to decline by approximately 3.8% relative to 2024. We expect continued strong growth in MirrorEye in 2025 driven by the launch of new programs in North America, the ramp-up of recently launched programs and improved take rates on existing programs, resulting in full-year MirrorEye revenue of $120 million or almost double 2024. The growth in MirrorEye will offset the expected roll-off of certain end-of-life programs resulting in a range of expected revenue of $860 million to $890 million for 2025. As Jim outlined previously, we will continue to drive material cost improvement, manage our structural costs, and drive improved quality resulting in expanded margins. As a result, we expect EBITDA of $38 million to $42 million in 2025."

Horvath continued, "Finally, today we are providing both short-term and long-term revenue and EBITDA targets. Looking at 2026, our weighted-average end markets are expected to grow by 7.4%. Additionally, we expect continued ramp-up and annualization of our existing OEM MirrorEye programs. Based only on market and MirrorEye related growth, we are targeting at least $975 million of revenue in 2026. We have additional opportunities for growth, including growth in our actuation and sensor programs in Control Devices, growth in our connected trailer activities and growth in our aftermarket businesses, including our off-highway business. Based only on the contribution on growth related to our markets and existing OEM MirrorEye programs, we are targeting 2026 EBITDA of at least $70 million, or 7.2% of sales. Incremental to that contribution-based target would be our continued focus and expectation on improving material costs, direct labor costs and most importantly, quality-related costs. We will provide more detail regarding these opportunities and our 2026 specific guidance as we get closer to the end of this year."

Horvath concluded, "Similarly, we have updated our long-term targets to reflect continued strong growth expectations in our key product categories to a 2029 revenue target of $1.3 billion to $1.45 billion and EBITDA of $160 million to $200 million implying an EBITDA margin range of 12.3% to 13.8%. We remain focused on building a strong foundation for continued earnings expansion as we capitalize on our impressive portfolio of advanced technologies. Stoneridge remains well positioned to continue to outperform our underlying markets and drive margin expansion resulting in long-term shareholder value creation."
