"Our results were driven by improved manufacturing performance, reduced quality-related costs, favorable net tariff recoveries, and cost control across the organization. MirrorEye continues to be a key growth driver, delivering record first quarter sales and accelerating momentum with global OEMs in the commercial vehicle end markets. We remain focused on driving earnings expansion as we capitalize on our portfolio of advanced technologies and drive cost efficiencies to improve profitability." Noblet continued, "Our priority is to deliver outstanding value to customers while collaborating with our partners to advance next-generation technologies for safer and more efficient transportation. Today, we are announcing two major business awards totaling over $135 million of estimated lifetime revenue, including an OEM-integrated MirrorEye program with our fourth North American OEM customer, and a next-generation electronic controls program for a global off-highway manufacturer. These awards highlight our ability to deliver reliable, high-performance solutions for our customers while continuing to build on our strong backlog of growth products."2026 Quarter in ReviewElectronics first quarter sales of $144.9 million increased by $11.6 million, or 8.7%, relative to the fourth quarter of 2025. This was primarily driven by higher sales in the European and North American commercial vehicle end markets, including MirrorEye, incremental contract manufacturing revenue related to the sale of Control Devices, and higher off-highway sales. First quarter adjusted operating margin of 2.8% increased by 260 basis points compared to the fourth quarter of 2025, primarily driven by contribution on higher sales, lower direct material and overhead costs, including net tariff-related recoveries, partially offset by higher SG&A and D&D costs.Relative to the first quarter of 2025, Electronics first quarter sales increased by $4.3 million, or 3.1%. This was primarily driven by favorable foreign translation impact of $12.9 million, higher MirrorEye sales, incremental contract manufacturing revenue, and higher sales in the North American commercial vehicle and European off-highway end markets. These increases were partially offset by lower sales in the European commercial vehicle end market, including lower sales for the Smart 2 tachograph due to the end of a regulatory retrofit campaign. First quarter adjusted operating margin of 2.8% decreased by 210 basis points compared to the first quarter of 2025, primarily driven by higher material costs due to sales mix and the impact of foreign currency, offset by lower D&D and quality-related costs.Stoneridge Brazil first quarter sales of $18.1 million increased by $1.6 million, or 9.4%, relative to the fourth quarter of 2025, primarily driven by higher OEM sales in the Brazilian market and favorable foreign currency translation. First quarter adjusted operating income of $1.7 million, or 9.5% of sales, increased by $0.4 million, or 140 basis points, relative to the fourth quarter of 2025, primarily driven by fixed cost leverage on higher sales and lower SG&A costs, partially offset by unfavorable sales mix from a lower proportion of monitoring fees.Relative to the first quarter of 2025, Stoneridge Brazil first quarter sales increased by $3.7 million, or 25.9%. This increase was primarily driven by higher OEM sales in the Brazilian market and the foreign currency translation impact of approximately $1.6 million. First quarter adjusted operating income of $1.7 million, or 9.5% of sales, increased $1.1 million, or 550 basis points, compared to the first quarter of 2025 primarily due to contribution from higher sales and lower material costs.Cash and Debt BalancesAs of March 31, 2026, Stoneridge had cash and cash equivalents totaling $70.5 million and total debt of $156.5 million resulting in net debt of $85.9 million. Net debt improved by $42.0 million compared to December 31, 2025 primarily from the use of proceeds from the sale of Control Devices to pay down debt.Bob Hartman, interim chief financial officer, commented, "We remain focused on driving strong cash flow conversion through disciplined working capital management and capital expenditures. As part of this effort, we reduced inventory balances by approximately $16 million compared to the first quarter of prior year. Recently, we also initiated a process to refinance our existing credit facility to better align our capital structure with the current Company structure. The refinancing will provide financial flexibility as well as support our future growth initiatives. We expect to complete this process by November of this year."2026 OutlookThe Company is updating its full-year revenue and operating guidance ranges to reflect the incremental impact of contract manufacturing revenue from the Mexico Supply Agreement related to the sale of Control Devices. This agreement was previously guided as non-operating other income, net and therefore only included in our adjusted EBITDA guidance. The Company is reaffirming its previously provided full-year EBITDA guidance.Hartman commented, "We are first reaffirming our base full-year guidance, supported by the solid start to the year and continued execution across our business. While macroeconomic volatility and inflationary pressures persist, we remain confident in our initial outlook and the meaningful progress we are making across our key initiatives. We also remain focused on driving organizational efficiencies and have already taken decisive actions to reduce structural costs to better align our cost base with the Company's current scale, positioning us to deliver sustainable long-term performance."Hartman continued, "We are also updating our guidance to reflect contract manufacturing revenue from the Mexico Supply Agreement. While the estimated benefit of this agreement was previously included in our adjusted EBITDA guidance as non-operating other income, net, we are updating our full-year revenue guidance by $20 million to reflect the estimated impact. We are also updating our overall adjusted operating margin guidance by approximately 50 basis points." As a result, the Company is updating its full-year revenue guidance to $645 million to $670 million and adjusted operating margin guidance to approximately break-even to 0.5%. The Company is reaffirming its adjusted gross margin guidance to 21.5% to 22.0% and adjusted EBITDA guidance of $20 million to $25 million.Conference Call on the Web

Net loss was $(76.9) million and adjusted net loss was $(14.7) million. Net loss was adjusted to account for the previously discussed impairment as well as the recording of tax valuation allowances of $44.5 million net, among other non-recurring expenses as outlined in Exhibit 4. Loss per share (EPS) was $(2.76) and adjusted EPS was $(0.53). Adjusted EBITDA was $3.4 million (1.7% of sales).The Company announced full-year sales of $861.3 million, gross profit of $171.2 million (19.9% of sales) and adjusted gross profit of $173.6 million (20.2% of sales). Operating loss was $(38.6) million ((4.5)% of sales) and adjusted operating loss was $(4.3) million ((0.5)% of sales). Operating loss was adjusted to account for the pre-tax impairment of Control Devices assets of $(21.6) million among other non-recurring expenses as outlined in Exhibit 2. Net loss was $(102.8) million and adjusted net loss was $(31.9) million. Net loss was primarily adjusted to account for the previously discussed asset impairment as well as the recording of tax valuation allowances of $44.5 million net, among other non-recurring expenses as outlined in Exhibit 4. Loss per share was $(3.70) and adjusted EPS was $(1.15). Adjusted EBITDA was $25.0 million (2.9% of sales).The exhibits attached hereto provide reconciliation details on normalizing adjustments of non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release.Jim Zizelman, president and chief executive officer, commented, "In 2025, our focused growth strategy, material and quality-related cost improvements, and structural cost control enabled us to navigate another year marked by challenging macroeconomic conditions. Driven by continued momentum with our MirrorEye programs, we outperformed our weighted average end markets by 150 basis points compared to the prior year. MirrorEye sales were $111 million in 2025, which represents 69% growth compared to the prior year, driven by the continued ramp-up of OEM programs in Europe, improved take rates, and two new program launches in North America. Our continued efforts to improve manufacturing performance resulted in an 80-basis point improvement in material costs and an overall reduction in quality-related costs of $6.6 million. We are proud of our ability to continuously outperform our end markets, even in a challenging vehicle production environment, while minimizing the impact on our bottom line. Finally, our focus on reducing inventory, which declined by $18.7 million this year, drove adjusted free cash flow of $19 million." Zizelman continued, "Earlier this year, we completed the sale of our Control Devices segment. As a result of this sale, we will now focus our resources on our highest growth, highest return businesses and reduce overall organizational complexity leading to a clear, focused strategy for the Company. Natalia Noblet, as the named president and chief executive officer effective April 1st, will continue the strategic vision of the Company, advancing the rigor and discipline we have built over the last several years to drive long-term sustainable performance."Natalia Noblet, incoming president and chief executive officer, commented, "As president and CEO, my priority will be to continue delivering superior customer value proposition through advanced technology solutions that solve critical challenges and help our customers achieve their long-term goals. Second, my team and I will be focused on excellence in execution to sharpen our strategy and drive financial performance. We will continue to embed rigor and discipline in all our processes to drive operational efficiency and continuous improvement. We are committed to organizational efficiencies to streamline costs to better align our structure with our global goals. Finally, when passion, processes, and priorities are aligned, a strong performance culture emerges — one that consistently delivers long-term value. As the outcome, we expect to drive market outperformance, margin expansion and cash flow conversion to create value for shareholders, customers and employees."Noblet continued, "Our advanced product portfolio is directly aligned with industry trends including more automated and connected vehicle technologies, focused on advanced safety and vehicle efficiency. We have built a substantial and growing backlog of awarded programs, and we expect to continue this momentum in the coming years."Fourth Quarter in ReviewElectronics fourth quarter sales of $133.2 million decreased by 10.8%, relative to the fourth quarter of 2024. This was primarily driven by lower commercial vehicle production volumes in Europe and North America, partially offset by incremental MirrorEye sales and favorable foreign exchange translation. Fourth quarter adjusted operating margin of 0.2% decreased by 330 basis points compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, primarily driven by lower contribution on lower sales and higher overhead costs, partially offset by lower D&D due to higher customer reimbursements.Stoneridge Brazil fourth quarter sales of $16.6 million increased by $4.1 million, or 33.3%, relative to the fourth quarter of 2024. This increase was primarily driven by increased OEM and aftermarket sales. Fourth quarter operating income of $1.3 million increased by approximately $1.2 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2024 primarily due to increased sales and favorable foreign exchange impact on material purchases.Control Devices fourth quarter sales of $64.4 million increased by 2.0%, relative to the fourth quarter of 2024. This increase was primarily due to higher passenger vehicle sales in North America and China. Fourth quarter adjusted operating margin of (2.3)% improved by 20 basis points compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, primarily driven by lower SG&A and engineering costs.Full-Year in ReviewElectronics full-year sales of $551.4 million decreased by (7.3)% relative to 2024. This decrease was primarily driven by lower customer production volumes in the North American and European commercial vehicle end markets, partially offset by incremental MirrorEye sales driven by the ramp up of a previously launched European OEM program and two additional OEM program launches in North America. Full-year adjusted operating margin of 3.3% decreased by 140 basis points compared to 2024, driven by lower contribution from lower sales and higher overhead costs offset by lower direct material, quality-related and engineering costs.Stoneridge Brazil full-year sales of $65.1 million increased by 29.9% relative to 2024. This increase was primarily due to OEM sales that almost doubled compared to 2024. Full-year operating margin of 8.6% increased by approximately 660 basis points compared to 2024, primarily driven by increased contribution from incremental sales.Control Devices full-year sales of $277.9 million decreased by (6.2)% relative to 2024. This decrease was primarily due to the production volume decline in the North American passenger vehicle end market as well as lower sales in the China automotive and off-highway end markets. Full-year adjusted operating margin of 1.6% decreased by 60 basis points compared to 2024, primarily due to lower contribution on lower sales as well as unfavorable mix offset by lower engineering costs.Cash and Debt BalancesAs of December 31, 2025, Stoneridge had cash and cash equivalents totaling $66.3 million and total debt of $180.9 million resulting in net debt of $114.7 million. For the twelve months ending December 31, 2025, the Company generated $34.0 million in net cash provided by operating activities and $19.0 million in adjusted free cash flow.The Company has entered into an amendment to its current credit facility to extend the maturity date to July 1, 2027 to allow ample time to refinance the existing credit facility and align the long-term capital structure with the structure of the Company after the sale of Control Devices. The Company expects to remain in compliance with all of the amended covenant ratios.For credit facility compliance purposes, adjusted net debt was $137.7 million while adjusted EBITDA for the trailing twelve months was $39.8 million, resulting in an adjusted net debt to trailing twelve-month EBITDA compliance leverage ratio of 3.46x relative to a required leverage ratio of not greater than 3.75x as per the amended credit facility agreement.2026 and Future OutlookThe Company is issuing its full-year 2026 sales guidance range of $625 million to $650 million, gross margin guidance of 21.5% to 22.0%, adjusted operating margin guidance of approximately break-even, and adjusted EBITDA guidance of $20 million to $25 million, or approximately 3.2% to 3.8% of sales.Bob Hartman, chief accounting officer and incoming interim chief financial officer commented, "We are introducing our full-year 2026 guidance ranges, including midpoint revenue of $638 million, representing 4.2% year-over-year growth relative to the 2025 sales for the remaining company. Our revenue guidance assumes that OEM production volumes will remain broadly in line with 2025. That said, based on our weighted average end-markets, IHS is forecasting 7.1% growth in 2026. However, we believe continued geopolitical volatility warrants some level of conservatism. We expect continued strong growth in MirrorEye this year, driven by improved customer take rates and the continued ramp up of recently launched OEM programs, resulting in expected MirrorEye revenue of at least $160 million, or approximately 45% growth. As Natalia outlined previously, we will continue to drive material cost and quality-related improvements as well as reducing our structural costs, which we expect to result in expanded margins. As a result, we expect EBITDA of $20 million to $25 million in 2026."Noblet continued, "Finally, today we are providing both short-term and long-term revenue and EBITDA targets. Looking at 2027, our weighted-average end markets are expected to grow by 6.6% relative to 2026. In addition, we expect the continued ramp-up and increased customer take rates for our existing MirrorEye OEM programs to drive growth of at least $35 million incremental to 2026. Based on market expectations and MirrorEye-related growth, we are targeting at least $715 million of revenue in 2027. We have additional opportunities to outperform this target, including growth in our aftermarket, off-highway and Brazilian OEM businesses. Based on the contribution margin on expected revenue growth, we are targeting 2027 EBITDA of at least $44 million, or almost double our expected EBITDA in 2026. Incremental to that contribution-based target would be our continued focus on improving material costs, quality-related costs and structural cost reductions to align with our current company structure." Noblet concluded, "Similarly, we have updated our long-term targets to reflect continued strong growth expectations in our key product categories resulting in a 2030 revenue target of $850 million to $1 billion, implying revenue growth of 2x to 3x our weighted-average end market growth. This results in our expected 2030 EBITDA target of $80 million to $120 million, implying an EBITDA margin range of approximately 9.5% to 12.0%. 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."Conference Call on the Web

Stoneridge Announces President and Chief Executive Officer Retirement and Leadership Succession PlanFebruary 23, 2026 4:30 PM
PR Newswire (US)

NOVI, Mich., Feb. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Stoneridge, Inc. (NYSE: SRI) today announced that Jim Zizelman, president and chief executive officer, is retiring, effective May 20, 2026, following nearly seven years of dedicated service to the Company. The Stoneridge Board of Directors has appointed Natalia Noblet, the current president of Stoneridge Electronics, as incoming president and chief executive officer as part of a planned leadership transition.







Jim will continue to serve as president and chief executive officer until March 31, 2026, when he will transition into the role of strategic advisor to support leadership continuity and key stakeholder relationships. Natalia will assume the role of president and chief executive officer and become a member of the board of directors on April 1, 2026. Jim will continue to serve on the board of directors and will be a board of directors' nominee for election at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders."Succession planning is a key priority for our Board, and this transition reflects our commitment to leadership continuity and long-term value creation during an important period of transformation for the Company following the sale of our Control Devices segment," said Bill Lasky, chairman of Stoneridge's Board of Directors. "Over the past year and a half, Natalia has led the Electronics segment with focus and discipline, making this a natural and well-prepared transition. Jim and Natalia will continue to work closely together to ensure a seamless transfer of responsibilities and strategic focus."Jim joined Stoneridge in 2019 and has played a pivotal role in advancing the Company's transformation and growth strategy. As president of Control Devices beginning in 2020, he led the transformation of the segment's product lines and technology roadmap with a strong focus on electrification, enterprise-wide quality, and improving operational excellence. After being named president and chief executive officer, and appointed to the board of directors, in January 2023, he further strengthened Stoneridge's operational performance, expanded its technology portfolio, and reinforced its focus on safe, efficient mobility solutions, all while driving a culture of transparency, collaboration, and respect."On behalf of the Board, I thank Jim for his leadership and lasting contributions," said Lasky. "Under his direction, Stoneridge enhanced its competitive position, advanced its technology roadmap, and reinforced a performance-based culture within the Company. We are also pleased that Jim will continue to serve on our Board, where his deep technical knowledge, engineering background, and understanding of our business will remain an asset as we move forward."Natalia joined Stoneridge in September 2024 as president of Stoneridge Electronics and brings deep industry experience and a strong track record of leadership. During her tenure, Natalia led the segment in securing several significant new business awards, including programs associated with the MirrorEye® platform. Prior to Stoneridge, she spent nearly two decades at WABCO in increasingly senior roles across operations, sourcing, quality, project management, and continuous improvement. Following WABCO's acquisition by ZF in 2020, Natalia held senior leadership positions with profit and loss responsibility, leading integration initiatives and operational transformation programs. This included serving as senior vice president of ZF's Commercial Vehicle Solutions division, where she oversaw the EMEA region's profit and loss, including strategy, commercial operations, procurement, and manufacturing footprint."Natalia is exceptionally well-equipped to lead Stoneridge into its next chapter," said Lasky. "Her proven leadership, deep industry knowledge, and strong commitment to operational excellence will support our continued growth, innovation, and success.""As the incoming president and CEO, my priority is to deliver outstanding value to our customers and continue working with all of our partners to advance next-generation technologies for safer and more efficient transportation," said Noblet. "I am grateful to Jim for his leadership and guidance during this transition, and for the strong foundation he has built. I look forward to working closely with our Board, our executive team, and our global teams to execute Stoneridge's strategy, strengthen customer partnerships, and drive sustainable, profitable growth."This planned transition underscores Stoneridge's commitment to disciplined governance, leadership development, and long-term shareholder value.About Stoneridge, Inc.

Stoneridge Completes Strategic Review with Sale of Control Devices SegmentFebruary 2, 2026 7:30 AM
PR Newswire (US)

Transaction Closed January 30, 2026, with a Base Purchase Price of $59 MillionNOVI, Mich., Feb. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Stoneridge, Inc. (NYSE: SRI) today announced that it has completed the sale of its Control Devices segment to an affiliate of Center Rock Capital Partners, LP ("Center Rock"), a private investment firm specializing in driving long-term value creation for middle-market industrial businesses. The transaction was closed, effective as of January 30, 2026, concurrent with the signing of the definitive agreement to sell the Control Devices segment.







The sale was completed with a base purchase price of $59 million. Stoneridge will use the net cash proceeds, after tax and transaction-related expenses, to repay its debt and strengthen its balance sheet. The sale of Control Devices will allow Stoneridge to accelerate and support its core growth platforms in both Electronics and Brazil and support strategic initiatives that position the Company for long-term success."This transaction is a critical step in our long-term strategy. As I outlined when we first announced our strategic review, we are seeing record-breaking business wins in several of our core growth platforms in both Electronics and Stoneridge Brazil. To support and accelerate these growth opportunities, we will now be able to dedicate our capital and resources to these businesses to drive future growth. As a result of this transaction, Stoneridge will be more focused and less complex, which in turn, is expected to create stronger shareholder returns and significantly de-risk our overall business profile," said Jim Zizelman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Stoneridge.Zizelman continued, "Stoneridge's remaining portfolio will be focused on technology solutions primarily for the global commercial vehicle and off-highway end markets. More specifically, Stoneridge will serve three primary product categories: Vision and Safety, Connectivity, and Vehicle Intelligence and Electronic Controls, each with their own significant growth opportunities. We expect continued expansion of our Vision and Safety systems, including MirrorEye® and adjacent products and advanced technologies, through maturity of our existing products and the introduction of new products to the market, including our connected trailer and surround-view capabilities. As discussed on our recent earnings calls, MirrorEye continues to expand across the world through the ramp-up of existing programs, increasing take rates and record new business awards. This, coupled with our full suite of products and technologies, will allow us to drive expansion of our capabilities focused on the cockpit of the future and domain integration. We own a significant amount of real estate within the cockpit of commercial vehicles, and plan to utilize this real estate to bring advanced technology to our customers that will help differentiate their vehicles, improve vehicle safety and efficiency, and provide opportunities for long-term profitable growth for the Company."Zizelman added, "Finally, we continue to grow our OEM business in Brazil by leveraging our global relationships and industry-leading technologies. Similarly, by continuing to rotate our global engineering footprint to take advantage of a more cost-effective structure, Stoneridge Brazil has become a critical engineering center for our business. As a result, we will continue to drive global growth and invest in the resources required to advance our capabilities within a more cost-efficient structure. As we continue to invest in these capabilities, we have generated a robust technology roadmap that will both enhance and expand on our existing products and bring new products and technologies to the market. We expect this to drive growth that significantly outpaces our weighted average end markets resulting in shareholder value creation."Zizelman concluded, "The sale of Control Devices to Center Rock will allow that business to have dedicated ownership to focus on its specific needs, invest more deeply and facilitate new growth avenues for its employees and customers. Control Devices has a proud history within Stoneridge, and over the past decade we've made significant strides to evolve its technology portfolio, improve its operational processes, and enhance its market positions. We wish the Control Devices team continued success as they continue to grow the business."With the sale of the Control Devices segment completed, the Company expects to amend its existing credit facility by the time the Company files its full-year 2025 financial results. This amendment is expected to provide time for the Company to put in place the appropriate capital structure for the remaining company post-transaction.The Company will host a conference call on Thursday, March 12, 2026 to discuss its fourth quarter and full-year 2025 results in detail.Stoneridge to Host Conference Call on the Web

SRI Acquires 51% of Bolton Conductive Systems

Tuesday , October 13, 2009 09:15ET

WARREN, Ohio, Oct. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Stoneridge, Inc. (NYSE: SRI) announced today that it has signed an agreement to acquire a 51% equity interest in Bolton Conductive Systems LLC (BCS), an electrical system supplier based in Walled Lake, Michigan, for initial consideration of $5,865,000 and depending on BCS's performance in 2010, 2011 and 2012, additional consideration payments in 2011, 2012 and 2013.

Subject to the customary closing conditions, Stoneridge acquired a 51% equity interest in BCS and will have the option to purchase the balance of BCS in 2013. BCS designs and manufactures a wide variety of electrical solutions for the military, automotive, and marine and specialty vehicle markets. Bolton Conductive Systems has been focusing its resources on designing, manufacturing and selling to Oshkosh, Force Protection, General Dynamics, AM General and BAE in the military market which will complement Stoneridge's efforts at Navistar.

"BCS has strong products and relationships and represents an opportunity for Stoneridge to immediately expand our presence in the military channel, which we believe has excellent strategic growth potential and is a good long-term complement to our existing business," said John C. Corey, president and chief executive officer of Stoneridge. "We expect to achieve synergies from purchasing and manufacturing for wiring, instrumentation and gauges derived from our scale and capabilities. In addition we will expand Stoneridge's product offering in the military channel and draw on BCS's strengths from its contacts in the industry."

"By becoming part of Stoneridge's outstanding global organization, we will be able to expand our capabilities and serve our customers better," said William Bolton, president and founder of BCS. "We believe this combination is a good fit and will contribute to the profitable growth of both operations." Mr. Bolton will remain BCS's president and chief executive officer through 2013.

Stoneridge also announced that it has amended its asset-based credit facility. The amendments will enable Stoneridge to acquire the 51% equity interest and option to buy the remaining 49% of BCS in 2013. In addition Stoneridge has modified the asset-based credit facility to allow certain foreign subsidiaries to become non-borrowers under the credit agreement and permit certain internal transactions that will facilitate the implementation of a more efficient European cash management structure.

First-Quarter 2009 Results

http://www.knobias.com/story.htm?eid=3.1.f24478be287b23fba2b7001828e54d5969701d52d741f3a8da6a20be993cc8b4

- Decrease in net sales, net income attributed to dramatically reduced volumes in key markets

- Liquidity, capital structure seen as competitive advantage

WARREN, Ohio, May 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Stoneridge, Inc. (NYSE: SRI) today announced net sales of $121.1 million and a net loss of $11.6 million, or $(0.49) per diluted share, for the first quarter ended March 31, 2009.

Net sales decreased $82.0 million, or 40.4 percent, to $121.1 million, compared with $203.1 million for the first quarter of 2008. The decrease in net sales was primarily caused by dramatically reduced production volumes in the North American passenger car/light truck market (50.9%) and the commercial vehicle markets in Europe (55.6%) and North America (41.8%), and the effect of foreign currency translation. Foreign currency translation negatively affected first-quarter net sales by approximately $7.5 million compared with the same period in 2008. The sales decrease was partially offset by the strength in the North American agricultural and off-road market.

Net loss for the first quarter was $11.6 million, or $(0.49) per diluted share, compared with net income of $6.5 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2008. The decrease in net income was due primarily to the severe reduction in sales volume the Company experienced in many of its markets.

As of March 31, 2009, Stoneridge's consolidated cash position was $89.2 million, $3.5 million lower than the 2008 year-end balance of $92.7 million, and its ABL facility remains undrawn. Net cash provided by operating activities for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 was $1.2 million, compared with $8.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The decrease of $7.4 million in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to a reduction in earnings caused by the reduction in sales offset by working capital reductions.

Chrysler announced yesterday that it has filed for a quick and efficient bankruptcy. To minimize Stoneridge's exposure, the Company has filed for and has been accepted to participate in the Chrysler and General Motors U.S. Government supplier accounts receivable guarantee program.

Outlook

"The decrease in production volumes globally in the first quarter was the most severe the Company has ever experienced," said John C. Corey, president and chief executive officer. "Current market conditions have caused unprecedented turmoil throughout our industry and we are managing our operations to react rapidly and adjust to quickly changing demand. Nevertheless, we are encouraged that our cost-savings initiatives that have been implemented and our available liquidity and capital structure will allow us to operate through a protracted downturn in volume and position us for the new competitive landscape once markets recover. Although the first half of 2009 will be worse than we originally expected, we continue to expect Stoneridge to be operating income and cash flow from operations positive in 2009, with improved business conditions by late third quarter and in the fourth quarter."

Conference Call on the Web

A live Internet broadcast of Stoneridge's conference call regarding 2009 first-quarter results can be accessed at 1 p.m. Eastern time on Friday, May 1, 2009, at www.stoneridge.com, which will also offer a webcast replay.

FY-09 Earnings Outlook : The Company expects earnings in 2009 to be positive.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTARY:
"The environment for 2009 will most likely be the most challenging the Company has ever experienced," Corey said. "The same is true for the entire industry given the interdependence of the supply chain to the OEMs. Although we have positioned Stoneridge to weather the storm as we see it now, we have decided not to provide specific earnings guidance at this time, due to the uncertainty of market conditions. However, we expect that Stoneridge should be both earnings and cash flow positive in 2009 based on our expected sales in 2009."
